By David Lea OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF ving Mo fa to Tra lgar Rd. Summ er 2 0 07 Lawrence Lavalle can't get anyone to work for him. It's not that Lavalle is a bad employer or difficult to work with, he just can't seem to get anyone willing to work as a labourer for his company, Acoustical Floors.

"We've spent well over $3,000 in the last six months advertising in the local papers and we either "It's not like it's a difficult job. We need basically labourers, people who at minimum have a driver's licence so they can drive our cube van to and from job sites." Lisa Farkas, general manager, Acoustic Floors get no replies or we get replies from people who are not qualified," said Lisa Farkas, general manager. "It's not like it's a difficult job. We need basically labourers, people who at minimum have a driver's license so they can drive our cube van to and from job sites." Farkas says she's frustrated that people have responded to her advertisements for a general labourer/concrete installer with requests for employment in unrelated positions, like the company's IT department. "There's nothing along those lines stated in the ad, so why are they applying?" asked Farkas. 646 4th Line at Speers Rd. 905-845-4211 sales@oakvilledodge.com careers@oakvilledodge.com See Applicants page 3 LIAISON COLLEGE · Largest trainer of Chefs in Ontario · 10 campuses located in southern Ontario · Flexible scheduling and start dates OTELLO'S BANQUET CENTRE, 2nd Floor 2273 Royal Windsor Drive (at Ford Drive) 905-842-4336 OPEN HOUSE Wednesday, March 28 Diploma Courses Starting in April WWW.CHEFCOLLEGE.CA Student Chef Lunches every Thursday RSVP .
