Jeanette Finnigan of Seaforth is the newest employee at the. Goderich office of Canada Manpower. She will assist • highschool and university students find summer jobs this -year. She is herself an unemployed highschool English teacher so she knows first hand the difficulties of finding a job. She will be con+acting numerous employers soon with her main task being to convince them to hire students. (Photo by Joanne Walters) Seaforth woman hired for Manpower program BY JOANNE WALTERS Jeanette Finnigan of Seaforth has been hired as the graduate assistant and program supervisor for the student summer employment and activities program at the Goderich office of the Canada Manpower Centre. It sounds like quite a mouthful but what her job will really boil down to is helping highschool and university students find summer jobs. Mrs. Finnigan started her job in Manpower's summer student placement office this` month. It • will last seven months and an assistant will be hired for her in May. The Manpower office prefers to hire someone different for the position every year In order to get new ideas and contacts each year. • Mrs. Finnigan's husband is a teacher at Seaforth highschool. Mrs. Finnigan herself is an unemployed highschool English teacher. She graduated from Althouse in 1976 and has since spent some of her time supply teaching. But she wanted more steady work and felt she would enjoy working with students through the Man- power program. She can certainly sympathize with their unemployment situations, she feels. She knows first hand how discouraging it can be. Mrs. Finnigan is just now learning what her job in- volves and how to put a program together. She plans to contact numerous em- ployers with her main task being to persuade them to hire students. She also plans to visit the highschool and talk with the students about summer jobs. From talking to others; she has learned that the majority of summer jobs come from home owners who want leaves raked, lawns mowed, houses cleaned, etc. Post secondary students, because their summer holidays start earlier, can often get jobs before highschool students. Mrs. Finnigan herself has had summer jobs working at the Seaforth Lions Club park, the Stratford Festival snack bar and in a factory. She says she will be glad when the training part of her job is over. She is looking forward to meeting the employers and students. She has had quite .a bit of contact with students through her teaching jobs and says she enjoys talking to them. While the employment picture does look a bit bleak, Mrs. Finnigan is hoping she will be able to help quite a few students. One helpful hint that she would give the students is that, once they register at the Manpower office, they should come into the office as frequently as possible. The more persistent the student, the more apt he is to get a job. Also those at the Manpower office can then get to know the student better for assessing him.
