able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its
beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating(纪念) the true
feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱) that is felt when
people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. "
People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation," Riedel said. "It's really
easy to relax, and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together." These families and friends
come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are
people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.
With so many years of experience, the festival has become a welloiled machine, and does whatever
it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout
the venue(举办地)for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are
given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.
The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as
Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it's easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking
area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended.
A bike lockup area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates
open until 45 minutes after the gates close.
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the
special donation fund(基金) concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug. 8.

| When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs. One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them. That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search. If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits. Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job of your choice. Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low. What to avoid during your job search | ||||||||
