PETS OF THE WEEK
Taz & Schon Hello! We are Taz and Schon and we are looking for a home for the both of us to join. Our paw-fect family will be experienced dog owners who can help us adjust to a new environment. Do you have a busy household? Please understand that we are low-key dogs looking for a calm, quiet home. All the noise and commotion that often comes with younger kids is a bit overwhelming for me, so teenagers are more our demographic. We have fairly high prey drives, so it would be best for us to go to a home with no small animals. We are excited to attend ‘Polite Pooches’ with you because it’ll allow us all to start our life off together on the right paw. Think you might be the home for us? Call 403-723-6027 to get started, as we are currently hanging out in a foster home! Included in the adoption fee: - Spay/Neuter surgery - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!
Reference Number: 28258116 Name: Taz Age: 6 years
Taz and Schon are a bonded pair who survived a severe house fire, and after extensive medical care they are now looking for a forever home together.

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I read your recent employer job search tips article and I wondered if the employers said anything about resumés? I’m a recruiter and I see a lot of poor quality resumés. Signed, Inquisitive Interviewer ©iStockphoto/DoxaDigital
Dear Inquisitive: The employers at the job-search presentation did touch on resumés briefly. What they said lined up with what I heard at another employer panel discussion that was specifically focused on resumés.
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.
Here are some resumé tips straight from employers: • Always put your best foot forward—don’t assume employers will accept a sloppy resumé just because you’re applying for an entry-level job. • Resumés should be typed and two pages or less in length. • Don’t scratch out errors—update and reprint your resumé. • Use your legal name—not your nickname. • Target your resumé to the job you’re applying for—emphasize your most relevant training, skills and experience. • Include brief highlights of your current/previous positions and key skills that are applicable to the job you are applying for. • Ensure your resumé is free of errors—they can’t call you for an interview if you give them the wrong phone number. • Be sure your e-mail address sounds professional: late4work@freemail.com does not inspire confidence. • Open a free LinkedIn account and create your free online resumé at www.linkedin.com. • Make it clear what type of position you are applying for or include an objective at the top of your resumé to help the employer understand where you see yourself fitting into their organization. • Don’t send your resumé to 15 employers all in the same e-mail—employers will be able to see that you are broadcasting your resumé to everyone and that you’re not really interested in working for them specifically. • Be prepared for the call back for an interview—try to be flexible and meet the employer when they want to meet. • Include how long you worked at each organization to the month—employers are wary of job hoppers because training and orienting staff is expensive. If you have switched jobs a lot in the past, you might want to explain why in your cover letter. • Retail and restaurant employers receive hundreds of resumés a week. Stand out from the crowd by dressing up and visiting the business. Ask to speak to the supervisor or manager and hand them your resumé in person. • Retail and food-service businesses are open long hours and weekends. The fastest way to get an employer’s attention in these kinds of industries is to include in your cover letter or resumé: “Available for all shifts, able to start work quickly / immediately”. For help writing or improving your resumé, visit the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at alis.alberta.ca and make use of their resumé tip sheets and free online resumé review service. Good luck!
