PET OF THE WEEK
Diesel
Hi there hoomans! I am a older guy looking for a home that will give me some new adventures and lots of love because I have a ton to give to you! Also, a nice couch or bed would be great to lie on after our adventure filled day was done. I may be an older guy, but these paws were made for walking, running, jogging or swimming so couch potatoes need not apply. You know those small, cute and cuddly animals, welllll... I may like to chase ‘em a little bit, so I would do best in a home with no small animals ‘cause that would be no fun for them to be chased! I am excited for you to come down to chat about the adventures and walks that we can go on together! Maybe even about the snuggling we will be doing afterwards too! Come down soon, I am just too excited!!!
Reference Number: A22284253 Name: Diesel
Included in the adoption fee: - Spay/Neuter surgery - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!
Age: 11years Sex: Neutered Male Species: Dog Breed: Beagle X Smooth Collie Color: Red & White

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I’ve been out of high school for almost two years now, working mostly in the restaurant industry. I’m ready for a real career that I can start building a future with, but I don’t know where to start. Do you have any advice? Signed Motivated Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions Dear Motivated:
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.
Career planning is the surest way to get you where you want to go. Taking the ©iStockphoto.com/snapphoto time to explore your interests, take inventory your existing skills and experience, and research future labour market trends will pay huge dividends in your career satisfaction. For example, if you enjoy working in restaurants and just want to earn more money, you could capitalize on your existing experience by training to become a chef or restaurant manager. You can learn more about over 500 different occupations, including restaurant careers, on the OccInfo data base http://occinfo.alis.alberta.ca/occinfopreview. The OccInfo data base includes key information, including wages, required training and the hiring outlook. Or, if you are looking for a completely different industry and work environment, the CAREERinsite website http://careerinsite.alberta.ca is a one-stop online career planning resource. CAREERinsite can help you get to Know Yourself, Explore Your Options, Get Ready, and Take Action. You can also take in some of the more than 100 Alberta Works Week events that are happening April 28 – May 2, 2014, at the 53 Alberta Works Centres located across the province. Alberta Works Week is a great opportunity for all of us to take a little time to revisit our career plans and make sure we’re still on track. Even if you have already met your career goal, the fact is what we want from our jobs tends to shift as we age, start families, or near retirement. You can discover the Alberta Works Week events happening near you by visiting: http://alis.alberta.ca/aww. You can also visit your nearest Alberta Works Centre—any time of the year—and use the career planning resources or talk to a Career and Employment Consultant. Career and Employment Consultants have helpful information on hundreds of careers including salary, current demand, working conditions and required training. If you have the training you need, your consultant can help you with your job search, including connecting you with free workshops on searching for a new job, writing your resumé, and preparing for job interviews. Consultants can provide information on local employers who may be hiring for positions that would be a good fit for you. Your Career and Employment Consultant can also show you the handy free job-search tools that are available in Alberta Works Centres located across the province, including: • Job postings; • Computers with Internet access; • Telephone, fax, and photocopiers; • Resumé and job-interview workshops; • Referrals to local employers who are hiring; and • Mini Job Fairs held in the Alberta Works Centre. To find the Alberta Works Centre nearest you, visit http://humanservices.alberta.ca/offices. Good Luck!
