On a Personnel Note

inancial Services was the

department of the month for
staffing activity. We had five postings
for that department alone for various
positions. Viera Hamza is the
successful incumbent for the TPT
Accounts Payable clerk position and
Edvin Mazareigos is the TPT cashier
clerk and TPT accounting clerk. The
position of RFT accounting assistant is
currently on hold and there is a TPT
accounting clerk currently open.

Stores has finally recruited a RFT
driver to replace Gordie Kay (who has
gone on to bigger and better things)
and her name is Rena Swartz. Rena is
being assisted by TPT Erica Hatswell,
who is filling in for Tim McKenzie,
currently on sick leave.

Continuing Education and Contract
Services has been busy, too. Both
Betty Gerela and Cacilda Tang are the
new RFT’s in that department. They
are also posting for someone to work as
a TPT secretary and TPT CECS
assistant.

Angela De La Ronde was the
successful candidate for the position of
TPT receptionist in Music while
Dorothy Holmes is working in the
MAGIC division. The new RFT
administrative analyst has been recruited
to replace Pat Babiuk when she retires
from the deans’ offices in December.
Tamara Ilersich will be joining us very
shortly. Mike Frankowski is the new
Sportsplex attendant II, replacing Wade
Keeler who is on temporary leave.

Two employees currently on
maternity leave had baby girls towards
the end of October. Sheila Burgess,
from the Child Care Centre, brought
Madison home from the hospital and
Dianella Knight, from Media
Production Services, is tickled pink with
her daughter Emma. Moms and
daughters are all fine!

The TFT maintenance worker I
position is almost filled and we will
announce that person’s name in the next
issue of the /nformer.

Some positions not yet filled include

the TPT MPS technician, RFT payroll
clerk II, and RFT PC support analyst.

As a final note, training time is
approaching. Capilano College will be
doing the usual formal computer training
this fall for staff and faculty, but will
also be giving some informal sessions
that will cover such items as making
your phone work for you, and what is P-
mail and what can it do for me?

Personnel will be preparing some
workshops on how to handle staffing
action forms, time sheets, probationary
review forms, and other useful
information. We also want to put
together some lunch hour sessions to
provide staff and faculty with an
opportunity to share their expertise. The
topics will range from time-saving
computer tips to how to figure out the
room bookings mystery! People who
would like to share their successes with
the College community are invited to
call Personnel Services and put their
suggestions forward!
