Dear Aunty,
     I work at a supermarket, and another girl and I share tasks we must finish before leaving. But she takes
half an hour to do something I can do in ten minutes. She always has a story to tell me and stops working
when she does. My boss is angry at both of us, but it's not my fault. I don't want to rat on her, but what
else can I do?
                                                                                                                                          Flustered
Dear Flustered,
     Let me propose a better way. Make a log of all the tasks you share, then suggest to your boss that for
efficiency your duties could be divided into two separate checklists. If he's reluctant, go to plan B: the next
time this girl starts telling you a story, stop working to listen and call your boss over to hear what a great
storyteller she is. I'm sure he'll take it from there. 
                                                                                                                                          Aunty
Dear Aunty,
     I'm a college student in the Philippines who wants to be wise with money. I'm not an economics or
business major student and I don't know anything about stocks. But I really want to buy assets and invest.
I receive about 15,000 pesos every school term from my educational plan. I don't have any idea how I should
spend it. I don't want to just buy new clothes, or hang out with my friends because it would not be wise. I
want my money to grow. Please enlighten me. 
                                                                                                                                       Fastbreakplay
Dear Fastbreakplay,
     Being wise with money is the No. 1 thing to learn. Start with a disciplined and systematic savings plan.
When your savings reach a sizeable amount, then you may start investing. In the meantime, invest in yourself
by reading up on stock markets and capital markets. Follow the news. Before I started investing during my
senior high school years, I had already studied stock market data of the past century as I believe markets tend
to repeat themselves. If you master this skill, you will master your reading of the markets.
                                                                                                                                                  Aunty

If you need extra employment support because of a disability, your local job center put you in touch with one of their Disability Employment Advisers(DEA). Disability Employment Advisers can give you help and support regardless of your situation. They can help you find work or gain new skills even if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have little or no working experience.

   Referral service

   Your DEA can offer you an employment assessment to identify what type of work or training suits you best and also offer you a work program designed to help disabled people, like the Job Introduction Scheme, WORKSTEP or Access to Work. The DEA can let you know about jobs that match your experience and skills and offer you more work information.

   Employment assessments

   An important employment assessment can help you identify your abilities. Your employment assessment will usually take place at your local Job centre. You will have an interview with your DEA, which is an opportunity for you to talk about your skills and abilities and any previous working experience you may have. As part of the assessment, you may be asked to carry out some practical tasks and written work. These tasks will be similar to common tasks involved in various types of work. The assessment may take half a day or longer, depending on your individual needs. The DEA will discuss the length of your assessment with you beforehand.

   After the assessment

   You and your DEA will talk about your assessment and agree on an action plan to help you achieve your job goals. Your action plan may include training or taking part in the “Work Preparation” program.
