More and more companies around the world are using HACCP to prevent, reduce or eliminate potential food safety hazards, including those caused by cross-contamination. The development of a HACCP system involves: •identifying potential hazards •implementing control measures at specific points in the process •monitoring and verifying that the control measures are working as intended Why HACCP? Compared to traditional inspection procedures, HACCP: •Provides a systematic approach to ensuring food safety •Gives more control over food safety to the processor •Is based on science, rather than simply past experience or subjective judgment •Focuses on preventing problems before they occur. This approach yields far better results than trying to detect failures through end-product testing What are the main elements of a HACCP system? 1.Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) 2. HACCP plans What principles does HACCP follow? 1.Conduct a Hazard Analysis 2.Determine the Critical Control Points 3.Establish Critical Limits 4.Establish Monitoring Procedures 5.Establish Corrective Actions 6.Establish Verification Procedures 7.Establish Record-Keeping and Documentation Procedures Who is the HACCP trainer in GTA ? Ontario College of Technology has been providing HACCP training for over ten years and trained hundreds of HACCP professionals. A new HACCP class will start on February 1, 2015.

But, respect is granted only to a select few in the workplace. Those are the ones who manage to balance tremendous work with office politics and communication. Wondering how to earn respect at work? Read on – in seven simple steps, you’ll have the answer. 1. Learn to appreciate yourself Respect begins with oneself. As Lao Tzu (Ancient Chinese philosopher and poet) said, ‘When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.’ Respecting Page 10 and being proud of oneself will ensure that you give people the ability to appreciate you. Once you understand your worth, so will others. 2. Dress, talk and walk like you deserve to be noticed Dress like the job you want, talk like the professional you want to be, walk like the whole package and one day you’ll become everything you want. Studies show that 75% of the impressions people have of you are developed based on the way you dress, talk and walk. The other 25% is based on your personality. Therefore, to earn respect you have to dress, talk and walk like you’ve already got it. 3. Develop a good work ethic Indira Gandhi (4th Prime Minister of India) once stated, “My grandfather told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.” The same applies at your workplace. There may be a long line of people who want to take credit and a much shorter one for those who do the work. You can guess which group earns the most respect. 4. Communicate No one is perfect, but if we all understand how to showcase our talents and achievements, everyone will respect us. There are many people in the world who have the ability to do something, but by sheer lack of communication, no one knows and no one cares. In the workplace make sure you openly communicate to your co-workers and superiors on a regular basis about the things you’ve achieved outside and inside of the workplace. 5. Learn to say no If you want people to respect you, you have to learn to say no, even if they are your superiors. If you say yes to everything people will begin to get the impression that you can be easily manipulated and used. It is important to prioritize your work and show your co-workers that you have a valid www.localhelpwanted.ca reason for saying no. If unsure, practice saying no to someone and try to articulate it effectively. 6. Let go of what you can’t control In the 21st century our lives are filled with never-ending tasks, infinite family and social commitments and boundless opportunities. To put it metaphorically, life is a patchwork quilt of mismatched squares made with blood, sweat, tears and laughter. With so much going on, many of us suffer both in the workplace and at home, due to the fact that we can’t let go of things we can’t control. We tend to obsess over these and make problems out of nothing. Understanding this concept early on is important in ensuring that we live fulfilled lives and earn respect. 7. Live by your morals, values, and ethics People respect those who have a clear objective in mind and can make decisions quickly with a beneficial outcome. Although not always feasible, this can be acquired by first developing your morals, values, and ethics and then living by them. To do this, consider what is important to you, what issues you are passionate about and where you stand on controversial problems. Remember: Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Respect is earned, not given.

Every semester starts with paying tuition and buying textbooks. You may need a new laptop and school supplies – and don’t forget about all the coffee you’ll need to survive the allnighters cramming for exams. These costs can pile up which may push you to sift through the couch cushions for all the coins you can find. The solution? Even though you may not have any income to report, you may be able to take advantage of some tax savings to put some money back in your pocket. Here are a few tips to help you out: File your taxes To take advantage of the tax credits and benefits available to you, such as the GST/HST credit, you have to file your taxes. Do it online – there’s a wide range of software, including some that’s free. Sign up for direct deposit When you combine online filing with direct deposit into your bank account, you can get your refund in as little as eight business days. Page 12 Claim your tax credits • Tuition fees – Most tuition paid to a post-secondary institution in Canada can be claimed. You may also be able to transfer or carry-forward any unused credits. • Education amount – You can claim $400 for each month you are enrolled in eligible full-time studies and $120 for each month you are enrolled in eligible part-time studies. • Textbook amount – If you are eligible for the education amount, you can claim this too. You can claim $65 for each month you are enrolled in fulltime studies, and $20 for each month you are enrolled in part time studies. • Public transit amount – Generally speaking, you can claim the amount you spent on a monthly public transit pass, but not tickets or daily passes. • GST/HST credit – You can get payment of up to $70 every three months to help you keep on top of your expenses. You can find more information for students at www.cra.gc.ca/students. and fill your blog with well-written and clever posts about things that interest you, highlighting your strengths. Interview committees often check out blogs, and if your blog is professional and includes some great writing, they will be sure to be impressed with your abilities. Blogger and WordPress both offer free platforms for blog hosting. Consider Getting a Commercial Driver’s License Chances are good you already have a regular driver’s license. In order to make yourself qualified for a multitude of positions, you may wish to also earn your commercial driver’s license, or CDL for short. Obtaining a CDL has many benefits. People who have one are able to drive trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles. In addition, it also shows a potential boss that you have taken the time to learn a new and very useful skill, and if a business relies on drivers in any way, even for the company van, it might give you the edge in an interview. You can study for the CDL test and take practice tests online at no charge. Then take the CDL exam once you are ready. Become Certified in First Aid Including a first aid certification on your résumé is definitely a positive IN PRINT AND ON-LINE 23 thing. Many companies require that employees have this training, and it also helps you come across as a person who goes the extra mile to learn important and valuable skills. To find an upcoming class in your area, you can go through the American Red Cross website, and it might also be possible to find an online course that is free or extremely low cost. While the American Red Cross classes can range in price from around $70 to $100, depending on which course you take and where you live, it can be a great investment if it helps you land a terrific job. Learn to Use Microsoft Office Products If you are trying to get a job in an administrative or office-type environment, showing that you are knowledgeable in Microsoft Office tools can make or break a job interview. Microsoft offers a course that will certify you as a Microsoft Office Specialist, which is a great asset to add to your CV. You can select which products you wish to learn more about, and then specialize in those particular tools. Like the First Aid certification, while there is a charge for the tests, it is definitely money well spent.

While many people tend to find a career to fit their education, it may make more sense to do the reverse. If you’re dissatisfied with your current career and looking for a change it is especially important to make sure you are doing everything you can to set yourself up for future success. If that involves furthering your education, you want to make sure the education you’re getting is furthering your personal and professional goals. Wondering how to choose the right education for your career aspirations? Here are some tips to turn your higher education into a get hired education. Weighing Degree vs. Demand Many people have the misconception that an advanced degree means career advancement. While it is true that many companies are less particular about your educational emphasis, there are certainly majors that employers value more highly. It has been well documented that companies value an MBA degree, but there are other skills that are in high demand. It is projected that in the near future, demand for psychology majors will increase significantly. In fact, the very companies that are tasked with job placement are looking to hire psychology majors to work as recruiters. This is largely due to the emphasis companies are placing on soft skills and emotional intelligence. Their insight into an individual’s mental makeup is tremendously valuable in identifying and placing prospective employees. It is important to keep track of political and economic trends when planning your future career. Current and future policies can have a tremendous impact on demand and the viability of your career going forward. Keep that long Jan. 24 – Feb. 7, 2015 term picture in mind when planning your educational trajectory. Things like the recent healthcare legislation and the subsequent rise in domain for healthcare professionals are the type of macroeconomic events that can make or break your career prospects. Getting the Skills you Need to Succeed While at times it makes sense to acquire training in a very specific skill set, the majority of employers actually prefer employees with a broad knowledge set. Educational institutions feel that they are preparing students to contribute in a broad array of activities, but students, more often than not, do not feel adequately prepared. There are several ways to combat this. One is to choose an educational program that provides hands-on training. Very few institutions offer this sort of practical approach to education, but the ones that do inspire confidence in their graduates that they can perform the necessary job functions they will be tasked with. There are a variety of other factors that go into choosing an educational focus that matches up with your career ambitions, but the primary skills that are important to learn are how to work effectively on a variety of tasks, work well with others and adapt to new situations. It can be difficult to acquire these skills in an educational setting, but I would encourage you to place yourself in a situation where you are forced to utilize and develop these practical and emotional skills. It can be a monumental task to both find a career that embraces both practicality and passion. While I certainly can’t speak to what will make you happy in your employment, hopefully these tips will help you on your way to a long and fruitful career.
