Its all a very different question in interviews – yet to the greatest extent that “management” is interviewing you for employment and the job on hand – you on the reverse end are interviewing management. The question is do you really want to invest your time and energy in that firm or organization to begin with.
The example was given of a young graphic artist – who for no reason of his own ended up on the jobless rolls. This future employee had a young daughter to support. At least he had the good sense to go out and pound the pavement to get any income what so ever.
First interview at a big box store. A slew of interviews and process. The big operations manual. The first question and alert might of well been – why such a need to hire if after all it was such a good place to work. And such rigidity – a slave to the operations manuals. Not good signs of a good employer or bosses.
Next in line was a local donut shop. The key question was asked “How long do you plan on working here?”. The answer “until I get a better job” ended the interview on the spot.
Never mind what the average length of employment in the firm was – and perhaps here was solid management potential as well – or perhaps a threat to management’s positions.
Lastly the job seeker searched in his trade where his skills were appreciated and noted. The question was “Can you start Monday ?” That in the end was the story.

The number of people receiving regular employment insurance benefits declined 7,300 to 795,900 in November, Statistics Canada said Friday.
Quebec and British Columbia recorded the largest decreases, but the number of regular EI beneficiaries declined in seven provinces.
Nationally, the number of regular EI beneficiaries peaked in June at 829,300.
Compared to 12 months earlier, the number of people receiving regular EI benefits was higher in November 2009 in all census metropolitan areas that Statistics Canada tracks, but the pace is now slowing, the agency said.
The number of initial and renewal claims received in November amounted to 270,700, up 1,300, or 0.5 per cent, from the previous month.
Canada’s EI program has been a political hot potato this year as job losses mount and government critics complain the system is outdated and in need of overhauling.
In the fall, Ottawa froze how much employers and employees have to contribute to the EI system this year and extended special employment insurance benefits to the self-employed

Article Storehouse | Do It Yourselfer Mike the Plumber
Do It Yourselfer Mike the Plumber
By: Terry S Vostor
It is often coined that you can tell the skill level and thoroughness of a tradesman by inspecting his toolbox. By having specific and the correct tools for the job this signals the completeness and competency level afforded and valued by the worker or even home handyman to be awarded or even given the job or tasks
Although the tools that you decide to purchase depend on how deeply you are involved in home repairs in general and in plumbing projects in particular , there are certain basic tools that any self respecting do it yourself plumber should have.
Copper pipe and copper tubing require some special tools. Since you should avoid using the infamous hacksaw on copper pipe, be sure to have a tubing cutter in your toolbox. A small size cutter moreover makes it so much easier to work in close quarters, and you will be amazed at how many plumbing chores are performed in cramped surroundings. You will also need a propane torch for sweat soldering and a flaring tool for making flare connections at pipe joints.
Just like copper pipes, galvanized steel pipes also require some special tools. When cutting such a pipe you should have a combination vise one that has a section with pipe jaws or a yoke and chain vise, both are which are made especially for pipe work. A pipe cutter tool is easier to use than a hacksaw, but be sure that the cutter is designed for galvanized steel pipes.
Pre-prepared forms of stainless steel or commercial types of tubes and plumbing fixtures are more convenient to handyman. Still blank units can well be better time value overall – you can count that the extra effort to thread and furnish your own products will perfectly fit the threads completely and ,fully without leaking in the seams or joints over the greatest passages of time. Even though your plumbers skills may be limited you can bet that there is always someone more knowledgeable to inquire to – whether by telephone or online. Take time to delve deeper for greater expertise. If in doubt simply call Mike the plumber note Mr. know it all and great fore-giver of personalities Max Labovitch.
None of the equipment required are especially unique that they could not be found at your local Canada tire big box store. The care of the tradesman is in their choice and choices. Rigid plastic pipe can be cut with a fine-toothed hacksaw (or if you prefer a plastic tubing cutter); Its amazing the level of finished trim afforded by simple hobby knifes – not unlike those utilized by the hijackers of planes on 9-11. On most common types of plastic pipe and pipes fittings are joined with solvent cement. The advantages to a flare fitting are that they can be taken apart easily with a pair of open-ended wrenches; and that they can be used in situations where sweat soldering is either dangerous ( fire hazard) or next to impossible ( that being usually uncontrollably wet conditions. The flip side of the equation is that flare fittings are much more costly than the ones you simply sweat-solder; Its just a matter of simply tightening the bolts.
Lastly for sealing large cast iron drainpipes against leaks, you will need a caulking tool for packing the oakum into the joint, a melting pot for heating the lead. And a ladle for pouring the molten lead over the oakum.
A most interesting comment on trade fairs in terms of the employees they bring to a group or firm, the interactions that they create and work towards for job seekers , career growers and future employees:
Of course they don’t exist to help you plan or execute a career. Most of the organizations with booths are bottom fishing, looking for enough willing and able employees to fill established gaps in their companies. This is hiring on the hoof, wholesale filling of average jobs with people trying to be average. Planning a career at a career fair is a little like looking for a soulmate at a singles’ bar.
And fair? Hardly. Because there are no average people, right? There are average jobs, certainly, average in that they require people to fit in, do what they’re told and follow the manual. I’ll grant you that those jobs need to get done, but I’m not sure they have to get done by you.
By the time a job opening hits the career fair, it’s a job you don’t want. And by the time a job seeker is walking down the aisles, standardized resume in hand, it might be too late for her to find a job that’s worthy of her.
Here’s to a new, better sort of career fair, one that’s selective, interactive, long-term and both career and fair.
Now what are the implications for networking , social interrelationships and perhaps even social networking and networking sites on the internet

What are the inherent advantages of “blind ad letters’ when it comes to the employee search process and processes ?
- in terms of advantages it can be said as well as summarized that as many job seekers doubt the legitimacy of blind ads, considering them a somewhat “waste of time and money” it can be said as well as noted that blind ads are often if not mainly ignored - the flop side is that to successful candidates competition in the field is somewhat more limited and stacked towards your favor
- however in terms of disadvantages it can be said that without enough industry research and endeavors that a job seeker can risk missing the very mystery writers specific interests and concerns for successful job employment career applicants
- as well ghost recruitment ads can decrease the chances that your inquiry will be acknowledged , wasting your time without an identity that in essence you cannot effectively follow up
- lastly without employer identity, the ad could well be even your current employer or one that you have already contracted via some other route or means
interestingly take a case where an employee who was working as a rather bored graphic artist , had her potential new employer contact her present employee for a reference check
- the current employer took slight that even the programs and tools that said employee were using in her work and projects being mentioned , involved the release and disclosure of confidential proprietary information and thus was grounds for immediate and summary dismissal from her present means of employ , without means of reference or standard employee benefit package or terms .

Flexible work time as well as flexible job sites. Are these relevant as well as practical practices to employ in these times of 2009 – 2010 by any and all means ? Offering flexible work times can be said to depend on the nature as well as presence of the job type , types , industry as well as industry settings. In addition to the mix , work in the requirement of customer service. There can be said to be any of a great number of variations , in any if not most of variations in employ – such as flextime , such as staggered hours of the week or day. Also include in the mix flexible start and “quit” times.
It can be said that these can be formalized or simply administered in a somewhat overall informal form and format. However it must be said and pointed out that if these plans are carried out that in the implementation and implementations that these programs are overall carried out and managed in an effective and fair form and format.

Is today’s work world any different in any manner shape or form ? No business is expected or can be expected to provide job guarantees , that is unless one is employed by a government department. After all the late president Ronald Reagan had a statement that “nothing is as permanent as a government department.” Yet even in the auto union trade , the auto maker union heads have found that their “demands” of job security for their members has even fallen on increasingly deaf ears. Has the labor marketplace changed , are our expectations as workers and employees , and that of employers changed in one giant paradigm shift in the last number of years and in our epoch of time and employ as well as employment ?

Immigrants themselves are being lured to our Canadian Provinces and cities have made great welcome amongst cultural support groups only in many cases. Often these fine people have their hopes dashed at being turned away from working within their professional credentials are deemed unsuitable or unverifiable when compared to Canadian equivalents. It might be said that their Canadian work experience as well as experiences are deemed to be limited and still limited. Having a foreign language accent never seems to help anyways and as well.
It is sometimes said and seen that overall that these immigrants job transfers to bigger centers to key leadership positions just disappears up the chimney in smoke. Lastly it can be said that many more than qualified individuals are sometimes , and some of the time appear to be tarnished by a broad brush being given sometimes negative stereotypes without even being a hint of a chance.

It can be best and easiest said that the “job letter family” is easier and easiest to understand if the grouping is made simply into 2 basic sections and setups
1) Reactive Job Letters
- letters in this grouping are written when you know a job opening exists. These are termed reactive letters
2) Proactive
- action letters that truly start and initiate leads
letters in this set are written in the hopes that inquiries as well as other steps will bring about a possible job opening
You might well term these – initiates or startup letters
lastly also in this category can be termed and included “thank you ” letters and notes as well as other letters that are really not essentially required but that a person as a job seeker writes as a means of following up on leads and other potential job and career openings as well as opportunities
There can be any number of what might be called “delicate” or “indiscreet” situations in job interviews.
Preparation is important although obviously you cannot predict all situations that may occur. Very good or not so good interviewers may have the skills of perhaps a gestapo officer.
They may uncover initiators that you may not be the most comfortable with handling, or have never though of since and long forgotten or some issue or event that your purposely and consciously forgot or put behind you long ago.
Among the most standard or even common questions that may come up in the course of a standard job or employment interview or interviews include:
- You have periods of long unemployment in your work history or histories
- You went to college or university and did not earn or complete your degree or course of studies
- The three or four most recent jobs on in your work history bear little resemblance or relation to one anther or the job position’s that you are currently applying for
- None of the specific jobs described in your resume or cover letter are directly related to the position / positions to which you are applying for/
It can be best and easiest said to place the date two lines below your contact information and as well place the inside address two lines below the date. Aligned with the left side of the page, enter the name of the person to whom you are writing. ( with a Mr. Mister, Ms. , Madam , or Mrs. ) designation : followed on the next line by the company name. then on the next lines the address. It can be said and summarized that if you know exactly the correct title or position of the receiving end , then use it. If you are not sure or mildly unsure then do not use it. Nothing is sweeter to a person than their name and position. If you have it wrong, it may never be said out loud to you or publicly . However it will never a negative effect that it is lasting and is almost guaranteed to ensure that you not not receive the job.
As for the correct placement and format of the receiver and title thereof then include that information on the same line as the receiver’s name or on the following line.
On the right side of the page. aligned with the inside address information you can then include a line labelled RE: to highlight the reason or specific reason for the correspondence.
