Page 6, News, Wednesday, April 27, 1988 Preparing for that job interview helps This is the second article of a two-part series dealing with the job of getting a job. - After preparing and sending a resume and application to a prospective employer, you will no doubt anxiously await a reply. Should you be lucky enough to be granted an interview, another major task will face you -- the actual interview. If you get organized and are well prepared before hand, you will have accomplished half the task. In preparing yourself before the interview,, research the vacancy by finding out as much about the job as possible; ask the employer ques- tions. Learn about the company, or the ministry if it's a government job. What does the organization chart look like and who are the key peo- ple in it. A question often asked in many interviews is "Who is the president or the minister of the organization?" Know the answer to this question. The more you know about the job and the organization before hand, the better you are likely to do in the interview. It is also wise to write down questions you may have relating to the job; however, make sure the questions are intelligent. Forget the trivial ones or the ones which may make you look poor such as "How soon can I get a raise?" Know your own background and resume and how it is relevant to the job you are seeking. Be pre- pared to give a verbal explanation of your resume. the interviewer(s) might want to ask more in-depth questions or clarify some facts. Your manner of dress is impor- tant; it can make an impression upon the interview team, so use common sense. Don't over or under dress, and don't wear any- thing which might distract the interviewers. Finally, get a good night's sleep so you will be well rested and on time. During the interview, introduce yourself and shake hands with the interviewers. Several don'ts include: don't smoke,chew gum,chomp candy, drink coffee. Playing with pencils, paper clips, etc., may annoy the interviewers or indicate your nervousness. If your hands are shaking, keep them in your lap and try to keep calm. When answering questions, try to listen to yourself. Be precise and to the point. If you don't hear the question or don't understand it, ask for it to be repeated. Guessing the question is a mistake, and faking the answer is fatal. When answering a question, look directly at the questioner first before looking at other members of the interview panel. A final point -- don't ask about vacation, salary, Cis: After the interview is over, shake hands with each panel mem- see "Be' on page 7 New equipment but same spots from page 2 leisure time hooking their favourite fish in their special cove and stream.

Charest Jean J. Charest anda d causing problems with lakes and streams, The present-day sports fisher- man has access to new develop- ment and new types of spoons and lures. One faces the challenge of locating new areas to fish. Every cove and bay can be a big challenge. Sheltered bays offer good fishing. Trout like to float about in shadows near large boul- ders or the shadowy shores: where bushes cast a shady nook for them. Marshes and reedy bays offer ideal spots for pike, pickerel, and trout in which to feed and lull about. - Fishing in Lake Superior can be the biggest challenge to a sports- man whether in clam or rough "seas." It provides great opportuni- ties for deep-sea fishing. Trout are often caught with a stomach full with smelts piled head-to-tails like firewood. Each year anglers spend more and more time fishing, and spend dollars and more dollars on fishing tackle. There's always another lure to purchase. But more attention should be given to walking over ice in the Spring thaw. A good rule to follow is to carry a strong pole over the breakthrough to cling to while get- ting out to firmer footing. Social Notes Mrs. Diane Aedy hosted the St. John Berchmen's Alter Society on Thursday evening when the mem- bers held their regular monthly meeting.
