Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I just got laid off and I want to find another job as fast as possible. Considering the slowdown in the energy sector, I’m wondering if I should try to find a similar job or see what else is out there. Signed Lost After Layoff Dear Lost: It can be hard to know where to begin when you’re suddenly laid off—especially when your whole sector is under pressure--but a good starting point is your local Alberta Works Centre. Alberta Works Centres are one-stop job-search centres staffed by Career and Employment Consultants. There are 53 Alberta Works Centres located across the province offering free: • Job Fairs • Employment consultations • Job-market forecasts/trends/statistics • Resume and job-interview workshops • Information on careers and training options • Job-search tools, including computers and photocopiers

Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
To find the Alberta Works Centre nearest you, visit http://humanservices.alberta.ca/regions The Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website http://alis.alberta.ca is another fantastic resource for job seekers and career explorers. You don’t even have to leave your house to access ALIS: • Calendar of job fairs • Work-search videos • Job-search tip sheets • Labour market research • Links to dozens of job banks • CareerInsite career-planning tool • Free online resumé review service • Creating a New Future: The Job Loss Workbook If you are looking for career advice, try calling the Career Information Hotline toll-free at 1-800-661-3753 (780-422-4266 in Edmonton). The hotline is staffed by career advisors weekdays 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Once you decide what kinds of jobs to search for, check out Alberta’s largest job bank: the Canada-Alberta Job Bank (www.jobbank.gc.ca). The job bank features job-search, job-match, and job-alert services to help make finding your next job simpler and easier. Even though you have started your job search, you should probably find out if you qualify for Employment Insurance at www.servicecanada.gc.ca/ei. You might find a job right away, but it might not start for three weeks. If you qualify, Employment Insurance can help you pay your bills until your new job starts. If you are ineligible for Employment Insurance or are worried that you will not receive it quickly enough to meet your basic needs, contact Alberta Supports at http://albertasupports.ca or 1-877-644-9992. You may be eligible for income or health benefits. Losing your job can difficult, but emotional support is available: • Mental Health Helpline: 1-877-303-2642 • Edmonton Distress Line: 780-482-4357 • Calgary Distress Line: 403-266-1605 • http://albertahealthservices.ca/mentalhealth.asp All of these services for Albertans affected by layoffs is available at: http://humanservices.alberta.ca/employees-facing-layoff.
