Gift ofthe Panama Canal Museum More Than 64 Years of Service to World Commerce The Panama Vol. XVII. No. 24 Canal Spillway Friday, February 9, 1979 Canal Employees Will Have Special Job Placement Aid This is the first in a series of ar- ticles on placement assistance that will he offered to displaced employ- ees. This article provides informa- tton for U.S. citizens who are eligible for assistance in obtaining jobs in the United States. Future articles will describe local placement assistance that will be offered to both U.S. and non-U.S.-citizen employees. The Panama Canal Treaty of 1977 states that U.S. citizens who were" employed by the Panama Canal Company or Canal Zone Govern- ment prior to entry into force of the Treaty and who are displaced from employment as a direct result of implementation of the Treaty will be provided maximum possible placement assistance. Similar assistance will also be provided to employees of other U.S. Government agencies in the Canal Zone who are involuntarily sep- arated as a result of Treaty imple- mentation. In addition, special place- ment assistance will be extended to U.S.-citizen employees of the Pan- ama Canal Company or Canal Zone Government who desire other Fed- eral employment within the United States. Transfer Notices Go Out to 3,000 Canal Employees This week the Personnel Bureau distributed Notices of Transfer of Function to more than 3,000 em- ployees of the Panama Canal Com- pany/Canal Zone Government who will be transferred to the Depart- ment of Defense on October 1, 1979. Approximately 40 school officers, 510 teachers and 2,680 employees of various divisions within the Canal organization will receive the letters which outline the options available to employees involved in the trans- fer and compare their present bene- fits to those they will receive as employees of the Department of Defense. Early retirement options, leave systems, housing, rotation and trans- fer, and health benefits are among the topics covered. Recipients are asked to complete and return two attachments: a Decision Sheet which states that they either accept, decline or prefer to take no action in regard to inclusion in the transfer to the De- partment of Defense; and an Ac- knowledgment Sheet which ac- knowledges receipt of the Notice of Transfer of Function. The Personnel Bureau has re- ceived information on a Federal Government-wide placement pro- gram for Canal Zone employees to he administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The program will go into effect on April 1. Two priority levels of employment consideration have been established by OPM. Priority level 1 consists of those U.S.-citizen employees of the Panama Canal Company, Canal Zone Government and other Fed- Seral agencies in the Canal Zone who are involuntarily separated as a di- rect result of the Treaty. Priority level 2 is made up of U.S.-citizen employees of the Panama Canal Company or Canal Zone Govern- ment who wish to obtain other Fed- eral employment in the United States even though they are not scheduled for separation. With certain exceptions, agencies in the United States will not be able to fill positions by any other means when priority level 1 employees are qualified and available. When pri- ority level 2 employees are qual- ified and available, agencies will.not be permitted to fill positions by appointments from outside the agency. Agencies may object to a Canal Zone referral only if he/she does not meet the qualification standards published by the Office of Personnel Management or selective factors approved by the area office. To register for placement assist- ance, two copies of a modified Dis- placed Employees Registration Form and two copies of the Standard Form 171 must be completed jointly by the Personnel Bureau and the employee. Employees may register for up to five occupational categories for which they qualify, at the grade from which they were separated and all other lower grades which they are willing to accept. They may register for two civil service regions or for one region and Washington, D.C. Priority level 1 employees will be permitted to register for the spe- cial placement assistance program throughout the life of the Treaty from the time of the receipt of their separation notices until 90 days after the effective date of separation. Priority level 2 employees may register any time within five years after April 1, 1979. Employees may remain in the program for up to one year from the date of their registration or separa- tion, whichever is later, but will be removed sooner if they are placed in a continuing Federal position or (Continued on p. 4) -r. Senior Traffic Officer Lt. Jerry L. Carlton, who is in charge of the Canal Zone Police Division's anti-defor- estation project, instructs forestry aids on their jungle patrol assignments for the day. Ready for "bush patrol" from left are, Roxana Segundo, the only female forestry aid in the six member team, Carl Meissner Jr., Eddie Acosta Jr. and Luis Cerezo, right. The forestry aids are bilingual and were trained in radio communication and on the type of destruction to look for in the forest. Two members of the team patrol forest areas on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus. The Police Division is tasked with the action of implementing the anti-deforestation program for the Canal Zone which is a joint effort by the Panama Canal and the Panama Government to control and prevent further destruction of the forest areas currently within the Canal Zone. Going To Resign or Retire? Think It Over Carefully Federal personnel regulations state that a resignation is binding on an employee once he has submitted it. On this basis an agency may refuse to permit the employee to withdraw a voluntary resignation or voluntary retirement provided that there exists a valid reason for such refusal. A valid reason might be a showing that it would cause administrative disruption or that the employee's job has been committed to someone else. In the past it has been Company/ Government policy to permit an em- ployee to withdraw his resignation at any time prior to the date it is to become effective. However, the tremendous number of transfer-of- function and reduction-in-force ac- tions that must be processed by this agency during the next eight months necessitates the temporary adoption of a more restrictive policy. Changes in effective dates of voluntary re- signations and retirements would constitute administrative disruptions which would severely complicate the reduction-in-force process. For this reason, all voluntary re- signations and retirement applica- tions submitted by employees from now to September 30, 1979 will be binding on the employee and may not be withdrawn nor, in most cases, may the effective date be changed. Under the circumstances, employees are cautioned to submit applications for voluntary resignation or retire- ment only after careful and serious consideration of the desired effec- tive date. Employees in organiza- tions being transferred to the De- partment of Defense will be ex- cepted from this policy unless it is determined in advance that accept- ing a withdrawal would cause an undue disruption in the gaining agencies' placement efforts. Those employees who submitted their resignations or retirement ap- plications prior to the issuance of this change will have until Feb- ruary 28, 1979 to withdraw their requests if they wish to reconsider their decisions. After that date, the temporary policy change will apply to these employees as well. All Federal Pay Increases Limited To 5.5 Percent in Fiscal Year 1979 President Carter has issued a di- rective to the heads of all Federal agencies to limit pay increases occur- ring in their agencies during fiscal year 1979 to a 5.5 percent ceiling. This directive applies to the Pan- ama Canal Company/Canal Zone Government. In his January 4 memorandum, the President stated, ".. I have Annual MBA Meeting The annual meeting of the mem- bership of the Panama Canal Em- ployees Mutual Benefit Association will be held at 7:30 p.m., Thurs- day, February 22, in Room 1, Pan- ama Canal Training Center. All members are urged to attend. determined that it would be incon- sistent with the public interest for any category of Federal pay rates to be increased by more than 5.5 percent during fiscal year 1979." Pay increases for the non-manual and manual categories which oc- curred earlier this fiscal year were limited to 5.5 percent. Other in- creases scheduled for this year for major pay categories include the railroad, power branch, postal and floating equipment groups. It is ex- pected that the increases for these groups will be similarly limited to a 5.5 percent maximum. Fiscal year 1979 began on October 1, 1978, and ends on Sep- tember 30. 197Q L A mia _:� � ,qicmmmmmmw� I ~spl rr~l-Ri~bpD THE PANAMA CANAL SPILLWAY February 9, 1979 (Schedule subject to change without notice. o Indicates black and white program.)

But whether or not a par- ticular story appears depends on two things: how soon the story is received and whether or not official news leaves space for it. . We operate on a first-come, first- served basis for club news. Even if an item is received in advance of the Friday noon deadline, it still ,may not get in the following Friday's paper if other stories were submitted earlier. The second and all-deciding fac- tor is official news, such as the sub- committee reports and vehicle reg- istration, that lately we've had such an abundance of. These stories must appear; then we print all other news that fits. Panama Canal Spillway HAROLD R. PAhFITrr AMES H. TORMEY Governor of the Canal Zone Lieutenant Governor . VICTOR G. CANEL DOLORES E.

The harambe will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, February 15, at the Canal Zone College audito- rium. (Harambe is an African word meaning gathering of people.) Well-known black entertainers from the Isthmian community will participate in the cultural-musical part of the event. Among them will be dancer Delva Timm, a choral group known as The New Genera- tion, and the Rainbow City Com- munity Choral. Simultaneously with the musical presentations, those attending the harambe may enjoy the arts and crafts displays and feast on the West Indian dishes and soul food that will be sold. The local observance has been coordinated by the Office of Equal Opportunity for the Panama Canal organization with the assistance of the Black Student Union of the Canal Zone College, employees of the. Company-Government, military agencies in the Canal Zone and members of the Isthmian Black community. Admission to the harambe is free and profits from the sale of food, arts and crafts are for the individ- uals taking part in the event. Ad- ditional .information may be ob- tained by calling 52-6663. Tom Halvosa has the coveted Eagle Scout Badge pinned to his uniform by his mother at the Court of Honor held by Ancon Troop 5, St. Luke's Cathedral. A junior at Bal- boa High School, Tom has been in scouting for the past eight years, holds all 24 merit badges, and is a member of the Order of the Ar- row, the honor camper's brother- hood within the Boy Scouts of America. For his Eagle service pro- ject, Tom, assisted by members of his troop, collected and repaired toys for the Pediatric Ward at Gorgas Hospital. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Halvosa of Los Rios. His father was the Bal- boa Postmaster until his retirement in January 1976 and his mother is a teacher at Curundu Junior High School. Canal employees considering re- locating to another position within the Federal government or seeking advancement within the organiza- tion might be interested in a new publication received at the Canal Zone Library. It's The 171 Workbook by Pa- tricia B. Wood, containing the lat- est revised Personal Qualifications Statement (Standard Form 171) and step-by-step instructions and tips to help you write an effective, com- petitive 171. The author of the workbook is Soroptimists Plan Gala Carnival Ball The Soroptimist International of Panama will hold Carnival Costume Ball 1979 at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 24, at the Holiday Inn Hotel. The gala carnival ball will in- clude a typical buffet dinner, music for dancing by Lucho AzcArraga and prizes. A welcome cocktail and a glass of wine will be offered. The ball is the organization's main fund raising activity for the year to finance scholarships, pro- grams for the aged and other be- nevolent community projects. The contribution is $20. a writer and consultant for The Resume Place, Inc., a Washing-: ton, D.C. company that will pre- pare your 171 or job resume for you, in addition to offering such other services as job market re- search, printing and direct mailing. Wood's premise is that a well- prepared 171 is the key to -achiev- ing the highest possible ratings and to securing promotions,in.,a Fed- eral career, as well as its obvious use in applying for and getting a specific job. A clue to the kind of thing a reader can expect to gain from this publication is contained in the chapter titles: Chapter 3, "Speaking the Language," is a dictionary of Federal government jargon. Terms an employee hears perhaps without every knowing their precise mean- ing-words such as "career appoint- ment" and "excepted positions"- are explained in language anyone can understand. Chapter 8 is "Buzz Words", a list of strong verbs (such as "ad- minstered," "coordinated," "organ- ized," and "recommended") to be used on the 171 in describing your experience. These words',il-Wod says, should be used for the very reason that they appear so often in official descriptions of required experience. "Information From the Feds," Chapter 12, gis es the'addc sse aid phone numbers for Federal job in- formation centers throughout the United States and its territories, all the Federal personnel offices in Washington, D.C., and U.S. Gov- ernment establishments .with posi- tions outside the competitive Civil Service. About one fifth of the workbook is made up of a personalized Form 171 ready to be torn out and used. It is personalized in that there are several pages of unlined, different sized experience blocks-ranging from full page to the customary 1/3 page-which allows an indi- vidual to choose the amount't of space needed to describe his or her duties in a particular position. Wood checked with the Civil Service Commission to insure that the forms in the workbook are acceptable. The workbook explains, 'item by item, each of the 35 questions that appear on the 171. The author spoke with personnel directors and officials of the Civil Service Com- mission to find out exactly what information they are lookingfor in each item and explains how to use even Item 22-D Hobbies to your advantage in selling yourself to' a potential employer. The Canal Zone Library has several copies of the workbook on hand, as do the librarieg'ht Cristo- bal, Rainbow City and Paraiso. If you'd prefer to have a workbook of your own, it can be ordered from The Resume Place, Inc., 810-18th St., NW, 6th Fl., Wash- ington, D.C. 20006.

Dix.i PANAMA CANA~L SPILLWAY February 9, 1979 Page 4 Mds de 64 Aios al Servicio del Comercio Mundial Spillway del Canal de Panama Vol. XVII, No. 24 Viernes 9 de Febrero de 1979 Asistencia en la Colocaci6n De Empleados Desplazados Este es el primero de una series de articulos sobre asistencia en la colo- caci6n que se ofrecerd a los emplea- dos que resulten desplazados. Este articulo brinda informacidn a los ciu- dadanos estadounidenses que tienen derecho a recibir asistencia en la consecucidn de empleos en los Es- tados Unidos. En articulos subsi- guientes se informard sobre la asis- tencia que se ofrecerd tanto a ciu- dadanos estadounidenses como a los no estadounidenses para obtener empleo en el Istmo. El Tratado del Canal de PanamA de 1977 establece que los ciudada- nos estadounidenses empleados por la Compafiia del Canal de Panama o el Gobierno de la Zona del Canal, antes de la entrada en vigencia del Tratado, que queden sin trabajo como resultado director de la ejecu- ci6n del Tratado recibirAn la mayor asistencia possible para la consecu- ci6n de otro empleo. Se brindarA asistencia similar a los empleados de las demis dependen- cias del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos en la Zona del Canal que sufran separaciones involuntarias como resultado de la ejecuci6n del Tratado. AdemAs, se brindarA asis- tencia especial a aquellos ciudada- nos estadounidenses empleados de la Compafila del Canal de PanamA o Gobierno de la Zona del Canal que deseen obtener empleo federal Aviso Sobre Trasladcos a 3,000 Empleados Esta semana la Direcci6n de Per- sonal distribuy6 Avisos de Transfe- rencia de Funciones a mas de 3,000 empleados de la Compafiia del Canal de PanamA y Gobierno de la Zona del Canal que serin traslada- dos al Departamento de Defensa el 1� de octubre de 1979. Aproximadamente 40 funcionarios de escuelas, 510 maestros y 2,680 empleados de distintas divisions dentro de la empresa del Canal re- cibiran cartas que delinean las op- ciones disponibles para los emplea- dos involucrados en la transferencia y comparan sus beneficios actuales con los que recibirAn como emplea- dos del Departamento de Defensa. Las opciones de jubilaci6n anti- cipada, los sistemas de vacaciones, las viviendas, la rotaci6n y traslado, y los beneficios de salud figuran entire los temas tratados. Se pide a los empleados completar y devolver dos adjuntos: la Hoja de Decisi6n que indica si aceptan, rehusan o prefieren no tomar una decision con respect a su inclusion en la trans- ferencia al Departamento de De- fensa; y la Hoja de Acuse de Recibo, como constancia de que han reci- bido el Aviso. I dentro del territorio de los Estados Unidos. La Direcci6n de Personal ha re- cibido informaci6n sobre un pro- grama de colocaci6n a nivel del Gobierno Federal para los emplea- dos de la Zona del Canal que serA coordinado por la Oficina de Ad- ministraci6n de Personal (OPM). El program comenzarA a funcionar a partir del 19 de abril. La OPM ha establecido como ele- mentos a considerar dos niveles de prioridad para empleos. El primer nivel de prioridad corresponde a aquellos ciudadanos estadouniden- ses empleados de la Compafia del Canal de PanamA, Gobierno de la Zona del Canal y demAs agencies Federales en la Zona del Canal que se vean separados involuntariamen- te como resultado director del Tra- tado. El segundo nivel de prioridad lo componen los ciudadanos esta- dounidenses empleados por la Com- paiia del Canal de PanamA o Go- bierno de la Zona del Canal que deseen obtener colocaci6n con el Gobierno Federal dentro de los Es- tados Unidos aunque sus empleos no se vean directamente afectados por el Tratado. Salvo ciertas excepciones, las agencies en los Estados Unidos no podrin Ilenar vacantes por otro me- dio que no sea el de contratar a al- guno de los empleados del primer nivel de prioridad que est6n capa- citados para, e interesados en, la posici6n. Cuando haya empleados del segundo nivel de prioridad ca- pacitados e interesados en alguna posici6n, las agencies s6lo podrAn Ilenar posiciones hacienda nombra- mientos dentro de la propia depen- dencia. Las agencies podrin negar- se a colocar a ciertos empleados que le hayan sido referidos de la Zona del Canal s61o si no llenan los requisites anunciados por la Oficina de Administraci6n del Personal o los factors de selecci6n aprobados por la oficina regional. Para inscribirse en el program de asistencia en la colocaci6n, la Direcci6n de Personal y el emplea- do deberAn completar dos copias del Formulario de Inscripci6n de Empleados Desplazados y dos copias del Formulario Reglamentario 171. Los empleados podran inscribirse hasta para un mAximo de cinco ca- tegorias ocupacionales en las cuales est6n calificados, en el grado que ocupaban al ser desplazados y demas grades inferiores que esten dispues- tos a aceptar. Podrin inscribirse para dos regions del servicio civil o para Washington, D.C., y otra region adicional. Los empleados del primer nivel de prioridad podrin inscribirse en el program de colocaci6n durante la duraci6n del Tratado desde el moment en que reciben las notifi- caciones de separaci6n hasta 90 dias despues de la fecha de scparacion.

Pienselo Bien Los reglamentos del personal Fe- deral disponen que las renuncias son obligantes para los empleados una vez que hayan sido entregadas. En base a 6sto, una agencia puede ne- garse a permitir que un empleado anule su renuncia voluntaria o jubi- laci6n voluntaria si existe una raz6n vAlida para tal negaci6n. Una raz6n vAlida podria ser que tal anulaci6n cause contratiempos administrativos o que el puesto haya sido lenado por otro empleado. Anteriormente, era political de la Compaiiia y Gobierno permitir que un empleado anulara su renuncia en cualquier moment antes de que fuera efectiva. Empero, el crecido nmmero de medidas de transferencia de funciones y reducci6n de perso- nal que tienen que ser procesadas por esta agencia durante los pr6xi- mos ocho meses hace imperative que temporalmente se adopted una political mas restrictive. Los cambios de fechas de efectividad de renun- cias y jubilaciones voluntarias cau- sarian interrupciones administrativas que podrian complicar gravemente el process de reducci6n de personal. Es por esto que todas las solici- tudes de renuncias o jubilaciones voluntarias que sean entregadas por los empleados desde hoy hasta el 30 de septiembre de 1979 serin de acatamiiento obligado para el em- pleado y no ,)odraii ser anuladas ni, en la niayoria de los casos, se podr"t camrliar la f a l de sd efectividad. Bajo estas circunstancias, se les ad- vierte a los empleados que, antes de entregar una solicitud de renuncia o jubilaci6n, mediten seria y cuida- dosamente sobre la fecha en que en realidad desean hacer efectiva la acci6n. Los empleados de las orga- nizaciones que serAn.transferidas al Departamento de Defensa estarin exceptuados de dicha political salvo que se determine con anterioridad que el aceptar dicha anulaci6n cau- saria interrupci6n innecesaria en lks esfuerzos de colocaci6n de la agencia que los recibiria. Aquellos empleados que hayan en- tregado sus solicitudes de renuncia o jubilaci6n antes de la entrada en vi- gencia de esta media tendrAn hasta el 28 de febrero de 1979 para retirar sus solicitudes si desean reconsiderar su decision. Despu6s de esa fecha, este cambio temporal de political se aplicarA a todos los empleados. Todos los Aumentos Salariales Estaran Limitados a un 5.5 Por Ciento en el 79 El President Carter ha dado ins- trucciones a todos los directors de agencies federales para que limited a un porcentaje tope de 5.5 cuales- quiera aumentos de sueldos en el afio fiscal 1979. Esta orden es apli- cable a la Compania del Canal de Panami y al Gobierno de la Zona del Canal. En su memorAndum del 4 de enero, el Presidente declared: "He Reuni6n Anuat La reunion annual do los miem- bros de la Asociaci6n de Beneficios Mutuos para Empleados del Ca- nal de Panama sera celebrada a las 7:30 p.m. del jueves 22 de febrcro, en el cuarto 1, Centro de Adiestra- miento del Canal de PanamA. Se insta a los miembros a asistir. determinado que cualquier aumento mayor de 5.5 por ciento para cuial- quier categoria de las tarifas de pago federales seria inconsistent con el interns piblico". Los aumentos salariales para ca- tegorias manuales y no manuals concedidos anteriormente en este aio fiscal fueron limitados a 5.5 por ciento. Otros aumentos programa- dos para este afio en categories im- portantes incluyen el ferrocarril, el ramo de electricidad, la oficina de correos, y equipo flotante. Se espera que los aumentos para estos grupos scan tambidn limitados a un maxi- mo de 5.5 por ciento.

Ayuda a Llenar Fo Los empleados del Canal de Pa- nama que est6n considerando cam- biarse a otra posici6n en el G(obierno Federal o buscando avanzar dentro de la organizaci6n pudieran estar interesados en una nueva publica- ci6n que recibi6 la Biblioteca de la Zona del Canal. Se trata del manual llamado The 171 Workbook, por Patricia B. Wood, que contiene la mAs reciente revision de la Declaraci6n de Cali- ficaciones Personales (Formulario Reglamentario 171) e instrucciones y consejos detallados que le ayuda- rAn a redactar un eficaz y compe- titivo 171. La autora del manual es conse- jera del The Resume Place, Inc., una compaiifa en Washington, D.C., que preparari su 171 o el resume de sus empleos, ademAs de brindar- le tales servicios como investigaci6n de los empleos disponibles, publi- caci6n y envio postal director.

Tom, pregraduando de la Escuela Secun- daria de Balboa y explorador desde hace 8 afios, es el ganador de todos los 24 distintivos de m6rito, y es miembro de la Orden de la Flecha, fraternidad de honor de los Nifios Exploradores de Am6rica. El pro- yecto de servicio Eagle de Tom fue el de coleccionar y reparar juguetes para la Sala PediAtrica del Hospital Gorgas, labor que realize con miem- bros de su tropa. Es hijo de William Halvosa y sefiora, de Los Rios. Su padre fue administrator de correos de Balboa hasta su jubilaci6n en enero de 1976, y su madre es maes- tra en la Escuela de Primer Ciclo de Curundi. >rmulario 171 La premise de Wood es que el formulario 171 bien preparado es la clave para lograr la mis alta clasifi- caci6n possible y para asegurar as- censos en una carrera Federal, asi como tambi6n para solicitar y obte- ner un empleo especifico. Un ejemplo de lo que el lector puede esperar de esta publicaci6n se colige de los titulos de los capi- tulos. Capitulo 3, "Speaking the Language" (Hablando el Idioma) es un diccionario de la jerigonza del Gobierno Federal. Terminos que un empleado escucha y qiue tal vez jams logre entender sus significa- dos exactos-palabras como "career appointment" (empleados de carre- ra) y "excepted positions" (posicio- nes exceptuadas)-son explicados en un idioma que cualquiera puede entender. El Capitulo 8 es "Buzz Words" una lista de verbos tipicamente usa- dos en informes oficiales (tales como "administr6", "coordin", organicc' y "recomend6") que deben usarse en el formulario 171 para describir su experiencia. Estas palabras, dice Wood, deberAn usarse porque apa- recen con tanta frecuencia'en des- cripciones oficiales de la experiencia requerida. "Information From the Feds" (In- formaci6n del Gobierno Federal). Capitulo 12, proporciona las direc- ciones y n6meros telef6nicos de los centros de informaci6n sobre em- pleos Federales en los Estados Uni- dos y sus territories, las' b"inmaf Fe- derales de personal en Washington, D.C., y agencies del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos que tienen posi- ciones no contempladas en el Servi- cio Civil competitive. En dicho ca- pitulo hay incluida una tabla que indica la nueva escala de salaries para empleados oficinistas civiles que entr6 en vigencia el 19 de octubre de 1977. Aproximadamente la quinta parte del manual consta de un Formula- rio 171 personalizado listo para ser arrancado y usado. Es personalizado ya que hay varias paginas de blo- ques sin lines y de diferentes ta- manios para experiencia-que fluc- tian desde una pAgina hasta el acos- tumbrado tercio de pagina-que per- mite a un individuo escoger la can- tidad de espacio que necesite para describir los deberes que l o ella desempefia en una posici6n particu- lar. Wood verific6 con la Comisi6n de Servicio Civil para asegurar quc los formularios en el manual son aceptables. El manual explica, articulo por articulo, cada una de las 35 pregun- tas que aparecen en el formula- rio 171. La autora habl6 con los directors de personal y funciona- rios de la Comisi6n del Servicio Civil a fin de averiguar exactamen- te qu6 tipo de informaci6n se re- quiere en cada articulo y ella ex- plica c6mo usar hasta el Articulo 22-D Pasatiempos en provecho pro- pio a fin de mejorar las posibilidades de conseguir el empleo. La Biblioteca de la Zona del Canal tiene varias copias del manual a la disposici6n, asi como las bi- bliotecas en Crist6bal, Rainbow City y Paraiso. Si prefiere tener un manual propio, puede ordenarlo de The Resum6 Place, Inc., 81,04 th St., NW, 6th Fl., Washington, D.C. 20006.
