(Photo by Murray Moore) Students have work choices The summer job market for students is the best it has been for several years. The strong economy means students can be a bit. choosy about what work they do. Fewer students need help fin- ding a job. Choosing has increas- ingly become an option, WE' RE EXPANDING!

We'd rather starting three years ago. The number of students registering for work with the Canada Employment Centre for Students office in Midland has been dropping for several years. Supervisor Lindsey Martin expetts between 750 and 800 students will have registered by this summer's end. More than 800 students registered in 1988. Most of the 80 students ° who have registered to date in 1989 have in- dicated an interest in of- fice work, and a job in- ® volving use of a computer. Although a few students will find that kind of work, most students will spend their summer with one of the typical summer jobs: out- door work or a kitchen position Many high school, col- lege, and university students will find work on a construction site or at a marina. Tourism-related and maintenance jobs also are common. This is not to say that all summer jobs are the same. Martin remembers matching a student with an employer who needed turkey toenails clipped. Wages range from the mimimum of $3.90 an hour for under age 18, $4.75 for age 18 and older to $8. The $8 wage is of- fered by an' employer needing full time house painters. Martin suggests job seekers start early; create a good resume; be prepared to be rejected; and set a realistic goal. Visiting the student employment centre regularly can give a stu- dent an edge. ""The more we see a student, the more he stays in our minds," Martin said. Also, the student might find a job listed in which he is interested that cen- tre staff wouldn't think of for him, going on the basis of the information supplied by the student. April is when the cen- tre starts to stir. College students are looking for work and high school students begin to think of summer. Martin will be joined by three student place- ment officers by the end of April. The Canada Employ- ment Centre for Students program started in 1968.
