The hot areas at the present time are sales and ser- vices, labor, processing, trades, general labor, and clerical. "It's very positive that they're hiring," she said. With the bulk of the place- ments done in May for the agri- cultural jobs, officials noted the job prospects for local agricultu- ral jobs alsoimproved this year. According to Agricultural Employment Services manager Rolly Coy, the job placement rate was better thisyear. "Placements were up over last year," he said.

Although the majority of the Jobs have been filled, Mr. Coy said a number of day and casual jobs in the agricultural sector will be available. But the inter- estis high for these jobs as there are more than 320 applications on file. A new feature at the Port Perry AES office is the Job Bank kiosk.

"This is great news for Dur- ham Region and for our gradu- ates. The recession and down- turn in the past has had a major impact on the opportunity for graduates to land that all im- portant firstjob," she said. There has been a noticeable trend in the way employers are hiring as well. Employers are posting more contract and part- time positions, to meet their short and long-term needs. Of- ten students are offered full- time work as a result of these placements. Despite the turnaround in the job market, many students are still uncertain about the job market, hanging onto their present jobs in fear of not hav- ingone.

Although she would like to find office work, she has been re- luctant to leave her existing job. "I don't want to quit. I'm scared I won't find another job," she said. Jennifer Draper, also a Grade 12 student at CHS and a wait- ress at Pizza Delight, isin much the same situation. After seeing her friends struggle to find jobs, she is keeping herjob. "I'm hanging onto my job, I need the money. I don't want to risk losing it," said the college- bound student. Nancy Cosgrave, an OAC stu- dent from Janetville, will be working the summer as a wait- ress at a bar in Lindsay. The money will be used to fund her tuition for Animal Sciences at Guelph University. Nancy took whatever job came her way. "It was a job. I didn't think there would be much of a selec- tion," she said. "It's frustrating when youcan't find one." Dave Pashley, who just com- pleted his OACs, will be work- ing at Pineridge Sports, a job he has had for the past three years. He will supplement the income with some jobs with his band. "There's not much out there. People shouldn't be so picky," he said. He also noted many of the available jobs go to those with connections. Such is the case with Jessica Swain. The Grade 12 CHS stu- dent has applied to some places for summer work, but admits "I'm just going to enjoy the sum- mer," adding she may help at her father's landscaping busi- ness. The job search is the same for the younger students. Although Evan Gower, a Grade 10 PPHS student, will be attending Army Cadet Camp this summer, many of his friends are looking for work. Many are finding jobs on farms and other related work. But, he said the secret to get- ting a job this summer is "you can't be too picky." | Forder-Parks Insurance Brokers Inc.
