Q: A: Can I trust a car sales consultant? 905-827-0301 Yes you can! You have our word ... plus the endorsement of the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC). Ontario car dealers and the Government of Ontario created OMVIC ten years ago to administer the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. One important safeguard for consumers that OMVIC performs is the registration and certification of all dealers and sales consultants. Indeed, whoever buys, sells or negotiates prices on behalf of a car dealer must pass both a criminal background check and a course in automotive law and ethics. Individuals are then certified as sales and leasing consultants and must apply to renew such licenses every two years. OMVIC further protects the rights of consumers by monitoring dealer advertising, conducting spot inspections of dealerships, operating a compensation fund for unresolved disputes and prosecuting dishonest individuals and illegal "curbsiders". Oakville Honda employees follow not just the letter of the OMVIC regulations but also the spirit of the law. Drop in to see our sales consultants anytime. Or, if you would like to call ahead and make an appointment, we will gladly accommodate your specific date and time request for a test drive, product presentation and appraisal of your current vehicle. Q: A: What should I do if my child has a tooth knocked out playing sports this summer? Cleaning Solutions Todd Osmond ~Owner Firstly, if they are playing any sports that you think may result in injury, an athletic mouth guard is a must! 15% of childhood dental emergencies are knocked out teeth. If a tooth does get knocked out, you must immediately contact your dentist. Find the tooth, rinse it (do not scrub any dirt off) and place it in the mouth between the cheek and teeth to keep it moist until you see your dentist. If you cannot store it in the mouth or if you are worried your child may swallow the tooth, wrap in in clean gauze or a cloth and put in milk. For there to be a chance of reimplanting the tooth in the socket successfully, you must see your dentist within 30 minutes. When a tooth is re-implanted, the dentist will then bond it to adjacent teeth to stabilize it. A root canal may be required at a later time. If the tooth is just pushed out of place- inward or outward, you may try to gently push the tooth back into place, but the dentist of course may be the best on to do this too. If you do reposition the tooth, hold it in place with a moist gauze or tissue and see the dentist within 30 minutes. How long a re-implanted tooth lasts depends on it's condition and how long it took to put back, but even a short time can make a worthwhile difference. Have a safe, healthy summer!

I feel that I need a face lift and yet I would like an easier, less invasive way of addressing this issue. Do I have any other options? Q: What Makes a Great Basement? A: In a word, design. Design is truly what makes or breaks the basement you will either choose to spend time in or not. The design of the basement should be an extension of the rest of the home. Thus providing a continuous flow from the main floor carrying it right through to your unfinished storage space in the basement. 905-338-6179 sallowness that you A: Theskin, including elastichave is due to a loss of support beneath the tissue, collagen and surprisingly, fat. We need each of these to keep our face youthful and refreshed. As we age, the plumpness of our face that we had as a child disappears. This loss will also give the illusion of sagging skin as our skin's elasticity is decreased. There are excellent products available that essentially replace the lost support system. Some soft tissue fillers are made up of a synthetic form of Hyaluronic Acid which is a natural substance found in our body. The results are amazing. These products last for 4-6 months and therefore are considered temporary. The body absorbs the filler and is slowly replaced by water so that the transition to pre-treatment state is subtle. Volumizing using fillers is a new but highly effective way to contour and augment your face. You can have dramatic results, natural in appearance with improvements that resemble a face lift, without the surgery, and without the unnatural "pulled" appearance that a face lift initially causes. The technique for injecting this procedure, known as volumizing, requires expertise, so you would be advised to find a reputable Cosmetic Surgeon to provide this procedure.

In the past, I always listed my interests and hobbies. Why is that not applicable now? : A resume is marketing tool that is supposed to capture your most relevant work experience, skills, education and achievements on paper, preferably no more than 2 pages in length. A resume's purpose is like a brochure; the employer reads the information and decides if this is a product worth investigating further. If you are able to be clear and concise and use terminology relevant to your industry, you are making it easy for the employer to ask you in for an interview. As for including your interests and hobbies as a category in your resume, this really does not reflect your skills and experience. However, if you can present these as relevant skills that would enhance your candidacy, you can include them with your other achievements or accomplishments. For example, if you hold a Black Belt in karate, you can present this as an accomplishment and elaborate on the skills that you acquired or utilized over the years in meeting this goal (e.g., time management, instruction, working in a team environment, etc.).
