Summer jobs no longer easy tio finid Coll'ege is an expensive endeavour costîng upward of $ 10,000 a year for a student living away from home. Parents, OSAP and part-time jobs help meet thqse expenses. Summer jobs have been, however, the most common way for students to earn money to continue their schooling at College and University. Unfortunately summer jobs are no longer easy to find or those that are available are not of tbe high paying type. Companies are currently focusing their efforts on keeping permanent employees on the payroîl and as such temporary jobs are not that readily available. .Ontario Hydro and General Motors, have in the past been, opportunities for students for summer employment but that is not the case this year. GM bired some 1000 students in 1992 but this is flot to be the case in 1993. According to Angie Paisley, a placement offîcer with Career for students Resource Centre at Durham 1993 opportunities will bc sinilar for students as those in 1992. A few tips have been offered students. Those being: 1. Start early; 2. research the market for opportunities they will not be staring you in tbe face; 3. research the Hot 100 booklet and the COSEP prograin (Career Oriented Summer employment Programns) in the CRC; 4. Use the CRC to locate positions and land one.. Pais ley mentions that many companies are offering self starter sales positions for students. Some of these positions supplement wages with scbolarship programs Telecommunications company Smart Talk Network has a summer employment programn Smart Talk and is looking for self-starter students to selI long distance packages for themn. "The telecommunications industry is booming so it's a good place to look", states Paisley. >Corne Join Us 'Mabel's Village Café 5348 MAIN ST., ORONO 983-6316 Monday, April 26, 1993 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. FREE DRAW 1 CI
