Ace Employment Services – Temp Agency

• A positive attitude is critical during a job search.
• You must give 100%, all the time.
• Learn how to come to terms with what has happened to you regarding your job loss.
Remember – it wasn’t your fault!
• Acknowledge your emotions. Change and uncertainty can stress you out. You might feel
Anger and disappointment one minute, and excitement and relief the next. Many workers
Who have lost their job describe it as an emotional roller coaster. Denying these emotions
Will only delay your progress. Once you accept that you will have a variety of feelings, it is
Possible to learn ways to manage them.
Don’t be afraid to talk about what is happening with your friends and family. This will help keep
Your feelings out in the open, give you support from others, and help the family communicate at
A difficult time.
• Maintain your family routines and recreational activities. If you take care of yourself and eat
Nutritious foods, you will be better able to handle the stress.
• Try to keep “rejections” in perspective. Being told NO is a part of job hunting. Experts say that
You could receive 50 “no (s)” before you get a “yes”. Learn from each rejection and make
Adjustments where necessary. Most importantly, don’t take any personally.
The world of work has changed.
• Although most Canadians still work in full time jobs, there is clear evidence that the amount
Of “standard” work is declining while “non-standard” work is increasing. Non-standard work
Falls into four main categories: part time, temporary or contract, multiple jobs and self-
Employment. In Winnipeg, the number of self-employed people has been increasing since
1989. More employees are working flexible hours or creating their own jobs. There is also
More telecommuting – where employees work at home – using the Internet, email, faxes and
The phone. You will have to learn new ways of doing things. The world will never be like it
Was in the past.
Learn new skills or upgrade your present skills.
Most people have lots of interests, but are not sure how to translate them into an appealing
Occupation. Once you use this handbook to go through the process of skill identification, you will
Discover the types of jobs that interest you. You will be able to determine if you have the skills to do
The job. If not, you will learn how and where to develop those skills. Going through this process will
Enable you to successfully find new employment.
Engage in lifelong learning.
Simply put – if the past five years is any indication, the pace of change will only increase in the
Future. In order to remain competitive, we have to keep learning. Start reading more, attend
Workshops and courses, “surf the Net”. The world is now a global village.
Everyone needs to be able to identify the skills they, as an individual, take to the ‘marketplace’. More and
More responsibility is being placed on you to direct your work life. It is all up to you. The sky is the limit!
Make Contacts.
• People are your key to locating and maintaining work. Learn how to ‘network’ with people.
This is not just an activity for business people any longer. As you will learn, most of the jobs
That are available are in the ‘hidden job market’. Only your contact with people will unlock
The doors to these jobs.
• Write (or update) your resume. This handbook will also give you concrete examples of ways
To define your skills.
• Send a resume and cover letter to each job lead.
• If someone helps you out with a job lead, send that person a thank-you letter.
Finding work is hard work!
Sounds simple. Yet many people think that a serious job search involves going down to the employment
Centre once or twice a week to apply for a few jobs from the Saturday paper! Perhaps this was the case
In the 1970s, but in the new millennium you need to give your job search at least 30 hrs a week.
