I accept gentle attention from my human friends, but true to my name, I can be a bit of a diva — I’ll let you know when I’ve had enough cuddles. I would love a home where my boundaries are respected, and I can interact at my own pace. I’ve discovered that I love being combed and brushed, which is a great way to bond with me and keep my lovely coat satiny smooth. I’m part of the Cattitude Cat program here at the EHS, which means my fee is waived! If you’re looking for a gorgeous gal with a sensitive side, come meet me.

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I read your Employer Job Search Tips article. I’ve done all those things and I still haven’t found a job. Do you have any tips that go beyond the basics? Signed Eager to Work ©iStockphoto/nyul
Dear Eager: The Alberta Government just released a new version of its Advanced Techniques for Work Search booklet. It’s available on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at http://alis.alberta.ca The work book covers how to: 1. Prepare for your work search 2. Market yourself 3. Prepare for job interviews 4. Handle job offers
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.
Many job seekers make the mistake of skipping the first step. In a strong labour market, it might not matter as much. You can just look for another job doing the same thing you were doing before. But in a more competitive job market, identifying your skills and employers in need of those skills may open up new opportunities that you never considered before. Step one can help you take an inventory of your skills and accomplishments and walk you through the process of turning your attributes into powerful stories that illustrate your value to employers. Step two, marketing yourself, stresses the value of networking. More than 70 per cent of jobs are filled by people who heard about the opportunity from someone they knew. One surprising tip from the booklet is that acquaintances may be more helpful in your job search than people you know well, because they know about opportunities that you don’t. The booklet offers tips on how to network with people you know as well as using social media to expand your reach. It also covers how to cold call employers and use employment placement agencies. If you’re already familiar with networking, you may find the section on understanding the selection process helpful. It tells you how employers screen applications and what employers are looking for in job applicants. Marketing yourself has a comprehensive section on writing winning resumés, including: • Cover letters • Resumé types • Using keywords • Resumé tips and best practices • What to include in your resumé • Tailoring your resumé to specific jobs • Formatting and submitting your resumé Marketing yourself also explains how to use other marketing tools, including: • Proposals • Portfolios • References • Business cards • Thank you notes • Letters of inquiry Step three: Preparing for the interview, will help you understand the process, anticipate the employer’s questions, provide compelling responses, build your confidence, and project a professional image. If you are nervous, or just want do your best, attend a job interview workshop. Contact your local Alberta Works Centres (humanservices.alberta.ca/offices). Many centres offer free job interview workshops and other job hunting resources. I asked two career counsellors if they had any other advice for you. An Alberta Government career counsellor said that a good resume and cover letter get you the job interview. A good interview gets you the job. Focus on improving wherever you are getting stuck in the hiring process. Good luck!
