However, with some 1400 potential employers across Durham Region, there are jobs available. Landing one will depend almost com- pletely on how aggressive the student is in his search' and how favourable an impression he makes on the person doing the hiring. That's the message from David Warnica, co-ordinator of the Canada Manpower Centre for Students which officially opened its office for business last week at 44 Bond Street East in Oshawa. Other offices will be open- ing later this spring in Ajax, Bowmanville 'and Pickering, and students from Port Perry and Scugog Township can register at any of them. While students are urged to register as soon as pos- sitfle, Mr. Warnica stresses that the function of the Employment Centre is to act in a referral capacity. The centre will accumulate a bank of student registra- tions, and at the same time are accepting orders for student workers from poten- tial employers. The -Employment Centre does not, however, hire stud- ents directly. It will attempt to match a qualified student with the jobs open, and then refer the student to the employer, who makes the decision whether or not to hire the student. Mr. Warnica expects that for every job vacancy this summer, there will be three students on file, and he says that all other things being equal, the referrals will be made on a "first come, first served" basis. As the office has already accepted more than 2,000 registrations from students this spring, those who haven't got their names on the list, should do so as soon as they can. The Employment Centre registration card asks for personal data about the stud- ents, past work history, qual- ifications, and the kind of work the student would like to get this summer; every- thing from construction to waiting on tables in restaur- ants. While registering with the * Centre may be one route for landing a summer job, Mr. Warnica stresses that stud- ents who are serious about finding work this summer should undertake an aggres- sive search on their own. A good place to start is the Yellow Pages of the phone book, and contact every busi- ness or industry that's listed. Knocking on doors is another way. The first impression that a student makes on a potential employer is very important and there are several things that a student can do to enhance his chances: w..have a letter of 'introduc: - tion and a complete resume; ...when phoning businesses, ask for an appointment with the personnel manager or the. person who does the hiring; ...be very thorough when fill- Life proves that the things you don't do bring just as much happiness as the things you do. ing out an application form, write clearly and don't neg- lect to sign it. ...when you land an inter- view, dress neatly for it. Don't chew gum or smoke when you're talking to the person who may hire you; ...be nice to the receptionist. She is often the first person you see when going for an interview, and personnel managers often ask recep- tionists for their "first Dave Warnica of the student employment office in Oshawa says the job market is going to be tight this year and whether a student lands a summer job will depend a lot on how hard he or she looks.

The Oshawa student employment office has been operating since 1971. Last year about 6,000 students registered, and jobs were found for about 1,600 stud- ents including short-term and casual employment. This year, the registrations may climb to 9,000. In addition to referring students to potential employ- ers, the office will post job openings on the bulletin boards in a system similar to that used by the regular employment offices. For students living in rural areas such as Scugog Town- ship, Mr. Warnica suggests that the businesses related to the tourist industry might be a good place to start looking for summer work, and there is also employment avail- able on farms. While the Oshawa office officially opened its doors April 3 for registrations, it will be open from 1:00 to 4:30 in the afternoons from now until May 8 when it will open regular business hours five days a week. The Whitby office will open April 17 and the offices in Ajax and Bow- manville on May 14. In the meantime, Mr. Warnica urges students to take the initiative themsel- ves in their search for sum- mer work, and the sooner the better. GREG MENZIES 668-4755
