The sought-after gradu- ates in B.C. have skills in areas such as computer tech- nology, accounting and engin- eering. - For Bernie Holweg, suc: cess came with a degree in communications from Bur- naby’s Simon Fraser Univer- sity in 1981. He now is a product analyst with B.C, Telephone Co: Holweg’s advice to pros- pective students is to study the job market before choos- ing a career.. “They should go to the personnel offices of indus- tries and. corporations and’ qualifications are required,” he says. “That way, a student gets a feel for the market and can plan a career according. ° ly.” Peter O'Callaghan, 27, and Art Pope, 22, are on tho right tracks, O'Callaghan, a fourth- year accounting student at the University of B.C., has a job waiting for him. Pope, who graduated from the unl- versity in computer ‘science, has had 10 jobs offers so far.

Municipal crows used - earth moving equipment to’ clear the mountain of mud that also closed the Burling- ton Northern line to the U.S. der. The Vancouver area was hit with a total of 99 mil- limetres of rain Saturday, “Sunday and Monday. “The prospects are really good,” sald O'Callaghan, who dropped out for a couple st years to take a job to ear enough money to continue toward his bachelor of.com- merce degree. “Companies sent out repre- sentatives to conduct inter- views from November to De- cember,” he said. “Some stu- dents have landed jobs eight months in advance of grad- uation.” Hans Rerup, dean of ad- ministrative student services at the Vancouver Vocational Institute, sald a good bet for.” ts. is. the ‘Streetproofing’ kids "By JUDY CREIGHTON TORONTO (CP) — If the parents of Clifford Olson's 11 murder victims liad used thé tools ‘of’. “streetproofing,” would those 11 children be alive today?
