Adrienne Lewis, supervisor of the Canada Employment Centre for Students on Bond St. West in Oshawa, told the Star in an inter- view last week that the overall sum- mer job situation 'is very positive, a reflection of the general economic picture." Some of the prime prospects for students looking for summer work include painting, grass cutting, landscaping, baby-sitting and fast food outlets such as McDonalds and Burger King. Ms. Lewis also said there are jobs available that are "career- oriented" in nursing services, graphic arts, book-keeping, data en- try and the computer field. The Student Employment Centre maintains a separate file for young people from the Port Perry area in an effort to find them work closer to home. Students living in Port Perry and other smaller communities in the northern part of Durham may find it easier to land a job if they have access to a car or can get a drive to the Oshawa area. "Mobility seems to be critical," said Ms. Lewis. But she stressed that for a student serious about lan- ding a job and prepared to go look- ing for one, they will be successful no matter where they live. Wage rates this year range from minimum wage of $3.15 per hour - (for under 18 years of age) $4 per hour if over 18 years in restaurants, to $6 and higher for physically demanding jobs in landscaping or putting down patio bricks. A very important factor in landing a summer job is appearance and at- titude for the initial interview. Ms. Lewis said students should dress ap- propriately for an interview, appear neat and clean and be on time. Ap- propriate dress means no jeans, t- shirts or shorts. She suggested that shirts and ties for guys, slacks, blouses and skirts for girls are in order no matter what type of job the person is seeking. She also said that students who are prepared to be flexible in the kind of job they take, rather than try for the one they would like best, are ing pay cheques this summer. While students are encouraged to go looking for work on their own, registering with the Student Employment Centre is a good first step. The Centre at 44 Bond Street West in Oshawa (across from the Bus Terminal) is open from 8:15 to 4:30, going to have the most luck draw- Monday to Friday.
