PET OF THE WEEK

Freckles Animal ID: 88873 Name: Freckles Age: Unknown Sex: Female Species: Rabbit Breed: Short Hair Rabbit Color: Black

Included in the adoption fee:

- Spay/Neuter surgery (done before being placed up for adoption) - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!

My name is Freckles! I am a beautiful ebony girl with the cutest white speckle dusting my nose. My foster mom says that I am the friendliest bunny she has ever had the pleasure of caring for. I love to binky all over the place; I jump and twist and thump and love every second of freedom when I am out of my cage!

Make sure I get exercise time each day, cause I’m a fitness fanatic!

I have spent a lot of time around small children and I adore them — I enjoy chasing them around and seeing if they have treats. My favourite snacks are parsley, kale, lettuce, apples and bananas. Providing fresh fruits and veggies daily as well as unlimited access to hay will keep me healthy and happy. I am fine to be picked up as long as you hold me securely so that I feel safe. I don't bite, but will nibble to see if you have something good to eat!

Shredding paper is a favourite pastime, so please give me paper towel rolls, wood chews, or an old phone back so I can play in my cage. I am happy when you rearrange and clean my house and don't mind hands being in my space. If you are looking for a friendly, outgoing, social, and funny bun to add to your family, I am the girl for you!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I am applying for a job that I really want, but I think I’m up against some stiff competition. I need a resumé that will help me stand out and get noticed. Do you have any suggestions? Signed, Eager Job Hunter ©iStockphoto/hidesy

Dear Eager: Your resumé must be both brief and compelling. Recruiters spend as little as 30 seconds reading each resumé they receive to decide who they want to meet.

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.

Your resumé should focus on your strongest qualifications so use a format that puts your most impressive strengths at the beginning.

If you want to emphasize your career progression, list your work, education or volunteer experiences in reverse chronological order. Chronological resumés are the most common type of resumé.

To emphasize your skills, use a combination format that groups your skills into categories. Be sure to include a brief chronological account of your background and describe how your skills benefited your current and former employers, e.g., increased sales, saved money, improved efficiency, etc.

If you don't have much work experience but your education is directly related to the work you are applying for, list your education first and stress the skills and abilities that your formal training has provided.

For more information, and sample resumés, check out the tips sheets on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at alis.alberta.ca.

When drafting your resumé, remember: • Your resumé should be two pages maximum. Busy employers won't take the time to read through a lot of information; • Print it on good-quality white or off-white letter-size paper; • Make it look professional and inviting to read; • Be clear and concise. Every statement should emphasize a skill or ability. Drop unnecessary words or sentences to tighten up your statements; • Ensure all the information is positive and relevant to the job requirements; • Use action verbs “developed, created, coached, guided, produced.” Avoid passive phrases like "I was responsible for" or "my duties involved"; • Don't exaggerate or misrepresent yourself — employers will check; • Include your daytime contact information; • Don’t include a photograph or unnecessary personal information; • Check spelling and grammar – don’t let a simple preventable error take yourself out of the running; • List your references on a separate page. Always ask your references if they are willing to provide a positive reference for you and ensure they can verify the skills you want to emphasize; and • Always include a covering letter and use it to highlight your qualifications for the position.

For more tips, or for a second opinion on your resumé, visit alis.alberta.ca and take advantage of the free, secure online e-Resumé Review Service.

You can also visit your nearest Alberta Works Centre and take advantage of their library of resumé-writing books or register for a free resumé-writing workshop. A list of Alberta Works Centre locations is available at humanservices.alberta.ca/offices
