VANCOUVER CITY Sav-
ings Credit Union claims its
new North Shore branch is
the first ‘‘financial super-
market"’ in Western Canada.

Offering banking, legal,
insurance, and travel services
all under one roof, VanCi-
ty’s 20th outlet even has a
meeting room for communi-
ty use.

The new branch is ‘high
tech’? -~ high touch’’, pro-
viding a high degree of per-
sonal service through
technology, and through an
innovative staffing ap-
proach. For example, as an
alternative to lining up at a
counter, people may be
seaied and served at a desk
by a Service Representative.

Each Representative's
desk has a computer termi-
nal linked to VanCity’s main
system, providing instant
answers, and fast and accu-
rate paper-work.

Manpower for
professionals

THERE IS a relatively un-
publicized service of the
Canada Employment and
Immigration Commission
offered at their Professional
and Technical branch.

On the 14th floor of 789
West Pender Street many
employers find the exact
professional and _ technical
personnel they are seeking.
Whether they need manag-
ers, engineers or laboratory
technicians, they are often
referred and hired in a few
days.

‘This office maintains a
current file of only profes-
sional and technical clients
with “top notch’? qualifica-
tions from a wide range of
academic disciplines.

The benefits to an
employer are significant.
Firstly, it is a free service of
the Government of Canada.
Secondly, because P&T does
net publicly post the posi-
tions they receive, they are
able to prescreen and refer
only qualified candidates.

Thirdly, employers are
welcome to book their boar-
droom for the purpose of
reviewing resumes at their
convenience and can.use the
same facilities at a later date
for job interviews.

Fourthly, for positions
that are extremely deman-
ding in terms of qualifica-
tions, they can internally
advertise across the country.
Fifthly, they administer
various programs aimed at
assisting employers with
staff development.

For the unemployed pro-
fessional experiencing
unemployment for perhaps
the first time, they offer
another avenue for the task
of securing gainful employ-
ment, They also sponsor job

Vancity arrival adds to market

“With this kind of tech-
nological support,’’ reports
VanCity’s Marketing Man-
ager Wayne McKay, ‘‘our
staff have the time to con-
centrate on. service, on
meeting the particular needs

highly professional, highly
personal service,"’ McKay
notes, ‘‘but they also require
fast, do-it-yourseif capabili-
ty. That's why we're install-
ed twa Exchange cash
machines, as well as a

member-activated terminal
for routine account informa-
tion.”

“We're offering 24 hour
convenience, and we're of-
fering personalized — atten-
tion,’’ he said.
