Young job-hunters find success Posted: 12 Aug 2010 06:09 AM PDT Posted By MARYANNE FIRTH , TRIBUNE STAFFPosted 7 hours agoJob hunting can be intimidating for anyone, especially those taking on the search for the very first time. The Port Colborne Service Canada Centre for Youth has helped more than 100 young adults this summer on their path towards employment. The centre offers assistance with job searches, resume and cover letter writing, interview techniques and information on employment standards, health and safety in the workplace and wage rates. The office at 176 Catharine St. will close its doors for the season on Friday, Aug. 27. A reception was held Wednesday to celebrate the summer's accomplishments.Youth services officer Melissa Gallina said this season was "extremely successful" for the centre, not only in assisting youth to find jobs, but also in raising awareness of the centre and its community services. The McMaster University student contacted more than 300 employers and handed out service information to more than 500 people at the farmer's market and local high schools. Sara Wikston was pleased to learn about the centre when Gallina set up an information booth at Port Colborne High School. Joining the "Odd Job Squad," she was able to help out at a lemonade stand during Canal Days Marine Heritage Festival. mfirth@wellandtribune.ca

Looking for a job this summer? There are tax benefits for job seekers Posted: 12 Aug 2010 09:51 AM PDT
Did you know that you may be able to deduct some of your job search expenses on your tax return? Many taxpayers spend time during the summer months updating their résumé and attending career fairs. If you are searching for a job this summer, you may be able to deduct some of your expenses on your tax return. Here are six things the IRS wants you to know about deducting costs related to your job search. To qualify for a deduction, the expenses must be spent on a job search in your current occupation. You may not deduct expenses incurred while looking for a job in a new occupation. You can deduct employment and outplacement agency fees you pay while looking for a job in your present occupation. If your employer pays you back in a later year for employment agency fees, you must include the amount you receive in your gross income up to the amount of your tax benefit in the earlier year. You can deduct amounts you spend for preparing and mailing copies of your résumé to prospective employers as long as you are looking for a new job in your present occupation. If you travel to an area to look for a new job in your present occupation, you may be able to deduct travel expenses to and from the area. You can only deduct the travel expenses if the trip is primarily to look for a new job. The amount of time you spend on personal activity compared to the amount of time you spend looking for work is important in determining whether the trip is primarily personal or is primarily to look for a new job. You cannot deduct job search expenses if there was a substantial break between the end of your last job and the time you begin looking for a new one.
