But Susan Freeman, student placement counsellor and manager of the student placement program at the Canada Employment Centre for Students located on East Street in Goderich, is not discouraged. In fact she is optimistic that most students in the area can find jobs this sum- mer if they follow a few simple rules. These rules include visiting her as soon as possible at the Employ- ment Centre and registering for a job. Her job then involves counselling students and helping them to narrow down what kind of work they are looking for. She also gives tips on how to apply for a job. Susan gives the following advice to students or anyone looking for a job, for that matter: tell everyone you're looking for a job (word of mouth is important); make a list of all possible employers; visit all of these employers; fill in applications early; keep looking at the want ads in your local newspaper; and keep your ears open. Susan admits that it's a job in itself to find a job these days. It takes hard work and determination but it can be done. One of the reasons why it is important to visit the Employment Centre early, is to fill in applications, for government programs like Ontario Experience '79, Young Canada Works, Jun- ior Agriculturist, Junior Ranger, etc. Deadlines for these applications come very soon, warns Susan. Many government programs allow students to invent their own summer jobs. Susan can supply students with a list of all theSe programs, appli- cation forms and addresses. Some students can become self-employed if they are ingenious enough. There are all kinds of self-employment opportunities, especially in a tourist town like Goderich, says Susan. Students can cut grass, walk dogs, paint houses, wash cars, babysit and even organize groups of students to perform various services. If worse comes to worse and a student can't find a summer job that pays money the Student Employment Centre can help students get into other meaningful activ- ities like volunteer work. There is even volunteer work which can be done abroad and many programs like CUSO which Susan can inform students about. If you can't make any money at them, you can at least gain invaluable experience, she explains. Contrary to what many people think, says Susan, most students really want to work and are really sincere in their job searches. A lot of students are very talented too and Susan encourages them to fill out the hobbies part on their application forms.

Susan started her job at the Employment Centre on February 5. Already a large number of secondary and post-secondary students have visited the Centre to apply for part time jobs now and full time jobs in the summer, she says. These students are eager for any type of work and can be hired
