THE B.C. chapier of the Ameri-
can Marketing Association
(BCAMA) has announced that
Toblerone and Nabob Foods Ltd.
are the winners of the 1990 Mar-
keter of the Year Award.

Nabob, the Canadian marketer
of Toblerone, Europe's leading
Swiss chocolate bar, will be
honored at a dinner Sept. 18 at
the New World Harbourside Hotel
in Vancouver.

Toblerone has become the
number one imported chocolate
bar in Canada. Nabob, undaunted
by a limited budget, departed
from Toblerone's world wide
Strategy to capitalize on different
consumer attitudes towards choco-
fate in Canada and, in only three
short years, tripled Canadian
sales.

The BCAMA is a Canadian
chapter of an_ international
association dedicated to the pro-
motion and education of the mar-
keting community. The BCAMA
offers educational seminars and

nervous jitters, enhance the con-
tent of a presentation, add vocal,
visual and emotional appeal and
lead a question period with style.

A second workshop, set for
Oct. 12 and cailed ‘In the Hot
Seat’’ will help people respond ef-
fectively in such settings as media

A job-finding club is a program
in which participants share their
knowledge and resources. A coach
gives valuable up-to-date informa-
tion on networking, interview

skills, Self-marketing, resume de-

velopment and many other job
search techniques.

The goal of the club is to help
all participants obtain a job of the
highest quality in the shortest fea-
sible time period. And it works;
between 80 and 90 per cent are
successful in finding jobs ap-
propriate to their abilities.

Federally funded by Canada
Employment, the program offers
excellent instruction, group sup-
port and a resume service.

“This is the best course you can
find in B.C.,"’ states one job-
seeker. Another offers, ‘ht com-
pares favorably with courses you
pay four or five hundred dollars
for elsewhere.”

Program instructor Darlene Lux
explains, ‘*‘The skills we teach are
very effective. But more important
is the enthusiasm that’s generated
by the group as people gain con-
fidence. By shating job leads and
working together, the club
members create a sort of momen-
tum that carries them on to suc-
cess.””

The Job Finding Club Program

is ongoing, with the next intake
scheduled for Sept. 4. Call
