Women given job hunting advice
By ELLEN IWAMOTO

Finding a job in the real world does not have to be frightening for a woman, said Dorothy Godfrey, a regional coordinator of the Federal Women's Program for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
"Once you finish your studies and get that degree which has been dangling in front of you, it is really not so scary out there," she said.
Godfrey spoke last night about job hunting for women to about 55 delegates to the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students Convention.
"You are much more capable now than when you first came to college," she said. "College is not all academics. Women can do college much better equipped to live life."
*Learn from experience, the bad, sad,
super experiences. Out there it is literally
crawling with opportunities, it can be mind bogging."
ALL. OPPORTUNITIES won't come, on the door. Good luck, said because there is in line for it.
Women need to decide if they are looking for a job or a career. she said. A job is doing something for a paycheck but a career is knowing where you are going in a field.
Godfrey advised women to talk to people working in their field. Women are usually more eager than men to discuss their careers with other women, she said.
It also is probably better to turn down any job offers that are not in your field, she said, because experience in a chosen field is necessary.
Volunteer work that demonstrates leadership capabilities is good to put on display.
"Researching the business you are interested in applying to for a job is a valuable tool," Godfrey said. "In your interview you can ask a few good questions and think in
terms of what you can do to help the company."
AT THE interview, Godfrey advised,
at TWE wear jeans and tennis shoes or dress
outside.
"You're striving to be Mary Tyler Moore, not Dolly Parton," she said.
Gobrefey said that even when a woman found a job, she should continue to look
"After you have learned everything you can from your first job, it's time to look for
Godfrey added, "The price of equality women must pay is eternal vigilance. There is no time to let down. These are only real gains, so don't let them erode away."
"What is good for women is good for the nation. One problem is that women fail to recognize how great they are. Women must permit themselves to be depreciated.
"Once women get it together, it should be a whiz."

County commission signs grant for courthouse 'weatherization'
The Douglas County Commission signed a grant for the State Historical Society Wednesday, but cut $6,200 from the original grant request of $237,200.
Funds from the grant will be used to "weatherize" the county courthouse, 11th and Massachusetts streets. According to the grant application, the $180,500 grant will save $2,000 in energy costs each year.
and exterior remodeling of the 75-year old building.
The "weatherization" will include the installation of 140 double-pane storm windows; the replacement of a skylight window; and the returning of four outside doors.
The grant calls for half of the $180,500
He said the company that sold the doors to the county would take the damaged doors down in June and repair them at no cost to the county.
to be paid by county funds. The county will pay its share with federal revenue sharing funds.
The part of the grant cut from the application was for cleaning the outside walls of the courthouse and spraying the walls with a silicone waterproofing treatment.
BOB NEIS, county commissioner, said the silicone treatment was cut from the application because it would not add to the historical value of the building.
More than $1 million in Douglas County revenue sharing funds have been spent over the past three years for the interior
One problem encountered since the courthouse was remodeled has been the cracking of panels in the new ak doors.
Hornberger said the door panels cracked because they were made of green wood. They cracked when the moisture dried, he said.
