Hay, hay, the gang's all here -- at Reidell Farm in Ashburn, By Gillian Barfoot There are jobs for students in Durham Region this year, but you really have to search for them. Students looking for a job will find that service indus- tries, such as restaurants and motels, are offering the most jobs, but many are only hiring part-time. Full-time jobs are rare, says Jennifer Lathan, su- pervisor of the Employment Centre for Students in Oshawa. She says that about 100 stu- dents from the Scugog area have registered with the Oshawa-based centre, but there is not a lot of employment in Port Perry. She will be visit- ing employers in this area next week to find out what jobs are available. Ms. Lathan recommends that students apply for two part-time jobs instead of searching for a full-time posi- tion. "Don't count on a full-time job," she says. "A job opportuni- ty is a job opportunity, and if you need money for school next year, be prepared to take what you can get." If you really want a job, Ms. Lathan says, you have to be prepared to work for it. "Whether you're a student or in the regular job market, look- ing for work is a full-time job." She advises students to fol- low-up at every place they filled out an application form, either by phone or in person. When employers have hun- dreds of applications to look at, she says, they will remember that you took the initiative to contact them.

Staff at the student employ- ment centre in Oshawa are ready to give tips on how to be successful when looking for a job. They can also help find work that is related to a chosen career. The student employment centre staff also co-operates with the Agricultural Employ- ment to place students on farms in Durham Region. This year, 350 students have registered with the Agricultu- ral Employment Services in Port Perry, says manager Rolly Coy. The farming season is about two weeks ahead, he says. So far his office "is doing excep- tionally well," placing 50 per cent more students than last year. Like any business, it's hard to predict what will happen in July, Mr. Coy says. "But we don't deal with the marketplace. We deal with the weather." Most of the farm work con- sists of day jobs. On a typical day, a farmer calls the office in the morning to say how many students are needed, and the office calls the students and places them with the closest farm. The office often sends out 50 students in one day. The students range in age from 13 to 17, and the office usually sends out groups that include different ages, experi- ence and gender. "We don't discriminate," stresses Mr. Coy. "If anyone is willing and able to work, we will send them out." One of the biggest problems is transportation, and he says that without the co-operation of the students' parents, who drive them to the farms, a lot of students would be unable to work. The agricultural employ- ment office can't always place every student who wants to work because there are a limit- ed number of farms that need help at any given time, he says. "Farming practices have be- come highly technical," he ex- - plains. New technology, such as using round hay balers, of- ten means less manual labor is required. Also, many farms have been sold or converted to U-Picks, he says. On the other hand, some stu- dents who sign up for employ- ment don't really want to work on a farm, unless they can't get other work. "There just isn't the student - population available or inter- ested in general farm work," Mr. Coy explains. Most of the farms that the students are sent to are mixed farms, which can include dairy, pork, beef, poultry, fruit and vegetable, as well as other Crops. Students may be sent out to stack hay bales, catch chick- ens, prune apple trees, or per- form other tasks around the farm. They can earn from $6 an hour to as much as $10 an hour, depending on the work, weather, and who's paying them, says Mr. Coy. : "There's a lot of good kids," he says. "A lot of the time, if we don't call by nine, they are call- - ing us. "The agricultural communi- ty owes a lot to these kids."
