Specialists offer job clues
Persistence,
patience pay off
By Dave Rodewald
Ot the Emerald
With the national economy in
a deep freeze and 15,000 peo
ple out of work in Lane County,
finding a job in Eugene is not an
easy task
But there are a few jobs out
there and a few people willing to
help you find them.
Lane County labor economist
Ken Rocco says that August,
September, and October are the
peak employment periods for
Lane County, and that students
may be their own best friends in
the search for a job because
business picks up when school
starts
It will still be tough to find a
job because of the large
amounts of people looking for
jobs, Rocco says, and because
businesses are not creating
very many new jobs.
The best way to find a job,
according to Ken Masterson,
manager of the University
branch of the State Employment
Division, is to follow up on
several sources
Masterson suggests checking
the job board at his office daily
along with reading the help
wanted ads in newspapers, and
meeting directly with em
ployers.
His office is receiving a slight
increase in job orders, Master
son says, adding that he
receives most of the University 's
non-work-study positions, ex
cept for jobs in the dormitories
and at the Erb Memorial Union,
both of which do their own hir
ing
Masterson's office is open to
the public, but there is a new
service on campus that assists
only students in finding jobs
For students who need part
time employment and have a
loose schedule, one of the
area's four temporary em
ployment agencies may be just
the thing
Dani Kelly, industrial supervi
sor for Kelly Services, says that
her business has been excel
lent,” and that the Eugene of

One of the keys to job hunting is patience, according to local
employment specialists
fice has just been named the top
office in the nation in the indus
trial work division
Temporary help doesn't
suffer like other employment in
a recession," explains Judith
Manning, manager of Man
power Temporary Services She
adds that because businesses
have peaks and do not want to
hire full-time employees, they
turn to the temporary em
ployment agencies for people to
work on a short-term basis
The services are divided into
two catagories — industrial and
secretarial To do secretarial
work, Kelly advises that the per
son applying should have ex
ecutive secretarial skills which
includes a typing skill of
between 75-110 words per min
ute Industrial work includes all
kinds of unskilled labor, and the
only prerequisites are a car and
a good attitude
Both services advise
prospective applicants to have
flexible school schedules, per
haps having all of their classes
on two days and having three
days to work. Kelly Services is
not hiring right now, but
because of their high turnover
rate, Kelly is optimistic that they
will be hiring soon.
At Manpower, Manning says
that they are accepting preem
ployment applications to build
up a base of workers to call
upon if needed
Rocco has a few suggestions
for students to help tnem in their
job search:
• Lower your pay expectations
Because most of the jobs
available to students are in food
service and retail sales jobs, the
pay will not be that high
• Don't be easily discouraged
Because of the large amount of
people looking for jobs, it is an
employer's market, says Rocco
• Know how to market your
skills After you get a job inter
view. you will need to impress
the employer The Employment
Division office has two free
books on the subject
