Sadie I keep hearing people call me ‘gorgeous' and tell me what pretty fur I have. That's nice and all but what I really want to hear is ‘we're here to take you home'! I can just picture it now: my new family walks up to my window and sees me, instantly knowing I'm the one! We'll have a visit and I'll show you what a sweet girl I am as I rub your hands. I may be a little shy at first as I am still nervous in this big place but if you give me a moment, I'll give you so much love! Then, knowing how perfect we are for each other, my family will choose me and take me home! Does this sound as perfect to you as it does to me? That's what I thought! So what are you waiting for? Come on down here and we can fall in love! I am available for adoption by donation!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I was recently laid off from my job unfairly. I had worked for this company for over six months. During that time, I introduced a number of successful projects, including one that saved the company nearly one full-time position. That project was so successful that the president of the company asked me to work on another big project. But, I think my supervisor was jealous. As soon as the president went on vacation, my supervisor laid me off. Now, I’m angry. How can I explain what happened at my next job interview? Signed, Furious
Dear Furious: I am sorry to hear that you lost your job. Before you can talk about it in a job interview, you will need to change how you feel about what happened.

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.
Stick to the facts that you know instead of guessing what motivated your supervisor. You need a short, simple answer for why you were laid off. You said that you saved the company nearly one full-time-equivalent position. It sounds like you could possibly have worked yourself out of a job. That’s a great reason for leaving—one that will thrill other employers. Your brief answer will allow you to spend more time talking about your accomplishments and help prevent you from plunging into a negative story about your last supervisor. Negative talk about past jobs or supervisors triggers red flags for interviewers. No employer wants drama in their workplace, so keep your answers positive. Check with your old supervisor to see if he will provide you with a positive job reference or letter of recommendation? If not, ask the president since he had so much confidence in you. That way, you can walk into your next interview with a list of accomplishments to talk about, a good reason for leaving, and a good reference. If you would like further help preparing for your next job interview, contact your local Alberta Works Centre http://humanservices.alberta.ca/offices. They offer advice, books and free workshops on resumés, job interviews and job searches. You can also check out the job interview tips on the Alberta Learning Information Service web site at http://alis.alberta.ca. Good luck!
