Manpower Odd job blitz planned By LISA BOONSTOPPELPOT The Herald On July the Canada Employment Centre for students will close Before it does however centre supervisors are going on an odd job blitz Supervisor Chris wants to make sure as many students make money this sum mer as possible so hes started the odd job squad a program matching jobless students to odd jobs We get at least one call a day from householders and businessmen just needing a helpful hand for a day or week said Mr People want someone to babysit paint their fence or help move things around Hes made a special board listing the odd jobs in the centre and compiled a list of students who are willing and able to work with little notice for a day here and there If someone calls we can usually get them a person that day said Mr We have a couple of pages of names of students looking to make extra money with the odd jobs To get on the odd job squad students can call the office at or visit the office at 232 Guelph St between and during the week- Mr said although businesses are still required to pay minimum wage for odd jobs householders arent We suggest that householders offer a lump sum for the work they want done or offer competitive wages so more students will be in terested he said For students still hoping to get a summer job there are approximately 25 regular job openings available A description of the job and what it pays is pinn ed up on the job search board at the centre Since the centre opened in late April staff have been able to pro vide students with summer jobs The figure is significantly lower than last years figure of approximately jobs filled but Mr said thats because there were fewer jobs available and some students held out because wages were lower Besides job placement the cen tre offers career counselling and job searching technique courses to students which were popular with students said Mr Fer Personally Mr said hes found working at the centre an excellent opportunity I got a broad range of experience in dealing with the media and the public which will aid me in my next job After the centre closes Mr Fernandes will start his new job as an information officer with Metro Torontos Department of Public Works Student Placement Officer Nancy Albers of Georgetown has also found working at the cen tre a rewarding experience I learned a lot in respect to job searching and
