Personnel receptionist Lisa Barone

Meeting And Helping People Are
Personnel Receptionist’s Duties

li you walk into the Personnel
office with a question, chances
are you will be greeted witha
smile from Lisa Barone.

Barone has been the receptionist
in Personnel since February and
says she meets a wide variety of
people with a wide variety of ques-
tions in her job.

"People come through here as-
king for all kinds of information,"
says Barone, 24. "If they don’t
know where to go about some-
thing they often come here first."

Barone’s job also gives her an
opportunity to glimpse how
people handle pre-interview jitters.
However, if there is a connection
between how a candidate deals
with the wait and subsequent
hiring success, Barone is too busy
answering calls and dealing with
other duties to take notes. "I write
the letters, she says, but I do not
make the decisions."

Barone worked in the clerical
and secretarial field for four years
before joining Douglas College.
Her outside interests include dab-
bling with pencil drawing; she is
also studying psychology in her
spare time. She strives to keep fit
by squeezing in an aerobics ses-
sion before work. She also enjoys
tennis and cycling around New
Westminster, "despite all those
hills," she laughs.

Readerboard
Policies Now
In Place

Cc flips, and rolls will
brighten up your departments’s
message when it appears on the
new readerboard sign on the
corner of 8th Street and Royal
Avenue.

College Publicist Brad Barber
says that a complete set of reader-
board guidelines is now in place.

"We hope the sign makes the
College a more welcoming place,"
says Barber. "It’s used to inform the
community about all the things
that are happening here. Because
Douglas College is built low into
the hill, in the past people have
driven by without knowing we are
here."

Departments likely to use it are
Music, Theatre, Athletics, Com-
munity Programs & Services, the
Office of the Registrar, and the
Student Society.

As well, ona trial basis, people
will be able to broadcast personal
messages such as weddings or
birthdays for a $50 contribution to
the Douglas College Foundation.

To get your department's mes-
sage onto the readerboard, contact
Brad Barber at 5326.

 

well as Wendy Davies.

 

Thank you

To the P.D. Day Committee for the recent workshops for
B.C.G.E.U. members. The workshops I attended were infor-
mative and well-presented. I realize the amount of work that
went into organizing such a well-run day and appreciate the
efforts made by Wendy Waidson and Candice Phillips as
