PET OF THE WEEK Animal ID: 57842

Hello! My name is Snowball and I am a friendly and loving cat looking for my forever home. I was brought into the Edmonton Humane Society as a stray found wandering around in a rural area, so not much is known about my past.

Wherever I came from though, I was well fed and will probably need to be put on a diet in my new home. Currently I am out of the shelter at PetSmart Spruce Grove, located at 151 Century Crossing, Spruce Grove. I would love for you to come for a visit and consider adopting me into your family!

Hi there! My paw-fect home will be an experienced, active, structured and give me lots of love. I am more of a ‘people pooch’, so I will do best in a home where I am the only dog. Please ensure you provide me with daily exercise and consistent house rules. Do you have a backyard? Awesome, because I totally need a backyard!

So we can play as off leash parks are too overwhelming for me. I am excited to attend ‘Polite Pooches’ with you because it’ll allow you and me to start our life off together on the right paw.

I am ready to start our journey together, so please come soon!

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: I am a healthy experienced professional engineer, but I can’t find a job. The problem seems to be that I am over 60. How can I get employers to open their eyes and see what I have to offer?

Signed, Energetic Engineer Dear Energetic: Employers cannot afford to ignore older workers. Nearly 40 per cent of Alberta’s workforce is over 45 and their numbers are growing.

In fact, some beliefs about aging can actually give you an advantage when you are applying for work. Many human-resource professionals believe older workers are reliable, committed to their jobs and have a strong work ethic.

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.

Still, there may be times when you have to convince employers that some negative beliefs about aging don’t apply to you. Here are some tips to help revitalize your job search.

Get the interview—Employers use resumés and application forms to screen job applications. Don’t make it easy for them to guess your age. If you earned a credential a long time ago, let employers know you have that qualification but leave out the date you earned it and only include your more recent and relevant work experience, e.g., the last 20 years.

Get the wardrobe and attitude—First impressions are extremely important in job interviews. Make sure you look energetic, confident and up-to-date. Your clothing, shoes, grooming, and energy level say a great deal about you. Be enthusiastic about your work. Talk about your interest in new techniques and technologies. Describe situations where you have successfully taken informed risks. Get the job—Try to address the employer’s concerns indirectly. Although employers may have concerns about your age, human rights law prohibits them from asking about it.

You can let employers know their fears are unfounded in many ways, including: • Provide evidence that you are a productive worker; • Talk about your performance record and any formal recognition you have received; • If the job is physically demanding, discuss similar physically challenging tasks you have recently completed; • Provide examples of how you have learned to worker smarter over the years; • Let the employer know that you are keen to learn new skills and talk about the new skills you have recently learned; • Emphasize your commitment to your career and your excellent attendance record; • Stress your teamwork skills by mentioning times when you have worked very well with people younger than yourself.

You have a lot going for you. All you have to do is help interviewers look past the grey hairs and see the energetic, experienced go-getter sitting in front of them.

For more ideas, the Alberta Learning Information Service web site (alis.alberta.ca) offers helpful publications for employers and mature workers, including: • A Guide for Midlife Career Moves • A Guide to Managing an Aging Workforce For help with your job search: • Call the Career Information Hotline at 1-800-661-3753 or 780-422-4266 • Visit your local Alberta Works Centre: humanservices.alberta.ca/offices Special job-search programs for older workers are available in some rural Alberta communities.
