JOB HUNTING

Before you look for the perfect job, write a CV or apply for a job, you need to do some research. Researching yourself is the key to finding the job that is right for you.

The first thing you need to do when starting the job hunting process is a self-assessment of your own strengths and weaknesses. The process will help you identify the skills, qualifications, experience, knowledge and personal characteristics that employers are looking for. It’s very useful to produce a “mind map” to highlight your strengths and weaknesses.

Once you know yourself, it’s time to start researching the market – finding out more about the type of job you want and the companies and organizations that have similar posts. This will help you make a short list of the places where you’d like to work.

You will need to search online job search sites and utilize offline resources including networking, which is still the way most people find jobs.

Online job search resources, including job search sites, job search engines, networking sites, resume posting, and ways to make sure you are using all the online job search resources available.

Are you using the help wanted classified ads when you look for jobs? If not, you should be. Local and regional employers don’t always post on the major jobs sites. Instead, they will advertise in their local newsletter to avoid being overwhelmed with applicants and, in many cases, because they are not interested in paying relocation costs.

The next step in finding a job is to write a resume or prepare to complete a job application. Depending on the type of job you are searching for, you will need a resume, CV (curriculum vitae) and a cover letter or you will need to complete an application for employment.

In most cases, you will need a resume to apply for full-time, professional job opportunities. If you are seeking a part-time job or work in a career field like hospitality or retail, for example, you will complete an application for employment.

VALUE FOR MONEY

Value for money is basically the relationship between how much something costs and how good or useful it is. In other words, the cheaper something is, and the higher its quality, the greater the value for money it represents. One of the main reasons why people choose well-known brands is that their names give a guarantee of quality at a fair price. The value for money they represent means that customers keep coming back to them.

This doesn’t mean, however, that a brand can never be harmed. Even big brands are fragile and their reputation can be easily damaged. When the owner of a well-known British chain of jewellery shops said one of his products was rubbish, people stopped shopping at his stores and many branches had to close down. This proves that customers expect quality even for a ‘down market’ brand. Nowadays, all successful businesses focus on quality. They will even adopt the practices of their main rivals if it means they can improve their level of manufacturing or service.

This commitment to quality has led to spectacular progress in many industries, for example, in the car industry. Three-year guarantees were once unheard of; now some manufacturers are so confident about the quality of their vehicles that they can offer five years. However, perhaps the search for zero defects can be taken too far. We can feel sorry for the staff of a well-known glossy magazine whose editor called a general meeting because she had found a small error at the end of one edition!

EATING OUT IN NEW YORK CITY

A wide variety of dining pleasures awaits a visitor to New York City, from luxuriating in the fanciest of French restaurants to grabbing a hot dog. With cuisines from every corner of the globe, New York City will feed you very well regardless of your budget. The least costly alternatives are those used by many natives at lunch time: street vendors, fast food places and delis.

Street vendors’ offerings — hot dogs for $ 2.00 or less — are fast, inexpensive and very «New York.» Hot dogs are a kind of sausage placed inside a bun. They are often made from pork and can be steamed, boiled, or grilled.

The fast food places, such as McDonald’s and Burger King are much the same everywhere in the United States. They offer a pretty standard fare: hamburgers, French fries, and coke (Coca-Cola), at a pretty standard price. A meal will rarely exceed $ 4.00 per person.

With so many people traveling in cars, fast food places can be found all along the highways. If you are in a hurry, you can drive round to a «drive through» window and pick up your food packed in a paper bag without leaving your car. Likewise, other fast food places may have «drive-in» facilities. A waiter will meet you in the restaurant’s parking lot, take your order and deliver the food to your car, where you can eat in the relative comfort of the parking area.

Another option, the delis (short for delicatessen) offer sandwiches and assorted salads. Americans eat a lot of sandwiches, especially for lunch. They are made with two pieces of bread and a filling. Some common fillings are: tuna fish, eggs, ham, chicken, turkey, roast beef, cheese, and peanut butter and jelly.

Some places call themselves «family restaurants». This usually means home style cooking. The food is almost as reasonably priced as in delis or better cafeterias. In a cafeteria you walk through a line, choose your food, put it on a tray, pay at the end of the line, and carry your food to a table.

NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION

The way you move, sit, walk, stand up, hold your head and carry yourself communicates a lot of information.

Gestures. We wave, point, beckon, and use our hands when we’re arguing or speaking animatedly. The meaning of gestures can be very different across cultures and regions, so it’s important to be careful to avoid misinterpretation. Very few gestures are universally understood and interpreted. What is perfectly acceptable in the United States may be rude, or even obscene, in other cultures. Facial expressionsfor happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust are the same across cultures.

Eye contact. The way you look at someone can communicate many things, including interest, affection, hostility, or attraction.

In many Western societies, including the United States, a person who does not maintain ‘good eye contact’ is regarded as being slightly suspicious, or a ‘shifty’ character. Americans unconsciously associate people who avoid eye contact as unfriendly, insecure, untrustworthy, inattentive and impersonal. However, in contrast, Japanese children are taught in school to direct their gaze at the region of their teacher’s Adam’s apple or tie knot, and, as adults, Japanese lower their eyes when speaking to a superior, a gesture of respect.

Latin American cultures, as well as some African cultures, such as Nigeria, have longer looking time, but prolonged eye contact from an individual of lower status is considered disrespectful. In the US, it is considered rude to stare — regardless of who is looking atwhom. In contrast, the polite Englishman is taught to pay strict attention to a speaker, to listen carefully, and to blink his eyes to let the speaker know he or she has been understood as well as heard. Americans signal interest and comprehension by bobbing their heads or grunting.

A widening of the eyes can also be interpreted differently, depending on circumstances and culture. Take, for instance, the case of an American and a Chinese discussing the terms of a proposed contract. Regardless of the language in which the proposed contract is carried out, the US negotiator may interpret a Chinese person’s widened eyes as an expression of astonishment instead of as a danger signal (its true meaning) of politely expressed anger.

STUDYING AT UNIVERSITY

(inEngland and Wales)

If you want to enter university, you must first pass examinations that most students take at the age of eighteen (called “A” levels). Most students take three “A” levels (three examinations in three different subjects) and they must do well in order to get a place at the university because the places are limited. Competition to get into one of Britain’s universities is fierce. At the moment, approximately 30% of young adults go to university in Britain.

Until 1998, British students didn’t have to pay for university. Now they must pay about £ 1,000 a year as a tuition fee. Not all students study full-time at the university or college. Many of them combine their studies with work.

Students at university are called undergraduates while they are studying for their first degree. Undergraduates go to large, formal lectures, but most of the work takes place in tutorials: lessons in groups of ten or more when the students discuss their work with the lecturer.

Most university courses last three years, some courses last four years, and one or two courses, e.g. medicine, may be even longer. During this period students can say that they are doing/studying history, or doing/studying for a degree in history, for example. When they finish the course and pass their examinations, they receive a degree. This can be a BA (=Bachelor of Arts) or a BSc (=Bachelor of Science), e.g. “I have a friend who has a BA in history, and another who has a BSc in chemistry”.

When you complete your first degree, you are a graduate. Some students then go on to do a second course or degree (postgraduate course / postgraduate degree). These students are then postgraduates. There are usually three possible degrees:

MA (Master of Arts) or MSc (Master of Science) — usually one year;

MPhil (Master of Philosophy) — usually two years;

PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) — at least three years;

Students can graduate with an ordinary degree or an honours degree which is better. When people study one subject in great detail, we say they are doing research.

MAXIMIZE YOUR LEARNING!

The most important thing is that you really have to want to learn the language – without that, you won’t get very far. You need to work hard, but at the same time you need to enjoy it and not get frustrated when you feel are not making much progress. You have to be realistic – learning a language takes time. Motivation is vital, you should really believe that you will be successful

Watch English Films and Television

This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents.

Listen to English music

The best way to learn is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine.

Study as Often as Possible!

Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language.

Do Exercises and Take Tests

By completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing.

Listen to English

Speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking to you. Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve is to practice.

WHY STUDY ENGLISH?

Being able to speak English well is important in today’s world because English is everywhere. English is one of the most widely spoken languages. There are approximately 375 million people in the world who speak English as a mother tongue, and an equally large number of people speak English as a second language. The largest concentrations of native speakers are in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand. English is the official language of 83 countries and is spoken in 105 countries.

English is the global language of communication in all major fields today. English is the international language of business, science, politics, and culture. What are you interested in? Is it science? Music?Computers?Health?Business?Sports? Today’s media – such as the Internet, television and the press – give you almost unlimited access to knowledge about your favourite subjects. The majority of the electronically stored information around the world is in English, so you can use English to obtain information on many subjects on the Internet.

Nowadays in the competitive job market it is necessary to speak English. Approximately, 80% of business communications around the world take place in the English language. Many major firms conduct their international business in English and increasingly require their employees to speak and write fluent English. So if you learn English you will have a better chance of getting a well-paid job. If you have a service job (for example, in a shop, hospital or hotel), English may be useful for communicating with foreign customers.

Knowing English makes travel easier, and allows you to communicate with people from many parts of the world.  You can travel to any English-speaking country without the need of have a translator. It may help you gain friends not just locally but internationally.

WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH?

EVERYONE knows the stereotypes about foreigners speaking English: Scandinavians are shockingly fluent, while the Japanese lag despite years and billions of yen spent trying. Now a big new study confirms some of those stereotypes. But it holds some surprises as well.

Education First, an English-teaching company, compiled the biggest ever internationally comparable sample of English learners: some 2m people took identical tests online in 44 countries. The top five performers were Norway, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The bottom five werePanama, Colombia, Thailand, Turkey and Kazakhstan. Among regions, Latin America fared worst. (No African country had enough takers to make the lists’s threshold for the minimum number of participants.

Several factors correlate with English ability.  Wealthy countries do better overall. But smaller wealthy countries do better still: the larger the number of speakers of a country’s main language, the worse that country tends to be at English. This is one reason Scandinavians do so well: what use is Swedish outside Sweden?  It may also explain why Spain was the worst performer in western Europe, and why Latin America was the worst-performing region: Spanish’s role as an international language in a big region dampens incentives to learn English.

Export dependency is another correlate with English. Countries that export more are better at English.  Malaysia, the best English-performer in Asia, is also the sixth-most export-dependent country in the world.

Teaching plays a role, too. Starting young, while it seems a good idea, may not pay off: children between eight and 12 learn foreign languages faster than younger ones, so each class hour on English is better spent on a 10-year-old than on a six-year-old. Between 1984 and 2000, the study’s authors say, the Netherlands and Denmark began English-teaching between 10 and 12, while Spain and Italy began between eight and 11, with considerably worse results.

Finally, one surprising result is that China and India are next to each other (29th and 30th of 44) in the rankings, despite India’s reputation as more Anglophone. The Chinese have made a broad push for English (they’re «practically obsessed with it”).

NATIONAL CHARACTER

British people give a relatively high value to the everyday personal contacts. Some writers on Britain have talked about the British desire ’to belong’, and it is certainly true that numerous clubs devoted to various sports and pastimes play a very important part in many people’s lives. Many people make their social contacts through work and, partly as a result of this, the profession is also important aspect of their sense of identity. British people try to appear as if they belong to as high class as possible, though nobody wants to be thought of as ’snobbish’.

The British are rather conservative and their conservatism can combine with their individualism. Why should they change just to be like everyone else? Indeed, not being like everyone else is a good reason not to change. Their driving on the left-hand side of the road is a good example to this. Systems of measurement are another example. The British government has been trying for many years to get British people to use the same scales that are used nearly everywhere else in the world. But everybody in Britain still shops in pounds and ounces.

It is probably true that the British, especially the English, are more reserved than the people of many other countries. They find it comparatively difficult to indicate friendship by open displays of affection. For example, it is not the convention to kiss when meeting a friend. Instead, friendship is symbolised by behaving as casually as possible.

The British are comparatively uninterested in clothes. They spend a lower proportion of their income on clothing than people in most European countries do. Many people buy second-hands clothes and are not at all embarrassed to admit this. Of course, when people are ’on duty’, they have to obey some quite rigid rules. A male bank employee, for example, is expected to wear a suit with a tie at work.

The British are always talking about the weather. Unlike many others, this stereotype is actually true to life. The English people are great pet lovers. Practically every family has a dog or a cat, or both. They have special dog shops selling food, clothes and other things for dogs. There are dog hairdressing saloons and dog cemeteries. Millions of families have ’bird-tables’ in their gardens. Perhaps, this overall concern for animals is part of the British love for nature.

AIRPORT PROCEDURES

On the day of your flight, you will want to show up at the airport with all of your luggage, your ticket, and your passport. Most airlines will request that you arrive at the airport three hours before your flight is scheduled to leave. This is because you will want to leave yourself ample time to complete all airport procedures and arrive to your flight on time.

When you get to the airport take your luggage, your ticket, and your passport, and wait in line to check in with your airline. When you reach the front of the line you will be prompted to hand over your ticket and your passport, and you will be given a new ticket which you will use to board the plane. Sometimes, the person working the desk will ask you if you have preferred seating. This is your opportunity to indicate to them whether you would like a window, middle, or aisle seat.

At the check-in counter, your ticket is looked at, your things are weighed and labeled with their destination. If you check excess luggage you’ll have to pay a fee calculated by the number of extra pieces and the extra weight. Every passenger is also allowed one small carry-on bag, for instance a laptop computer or small suitcase.

Once you have finished at the check in desk you will directed through security. When entering security, bring all carry on luggage with you. It is important that you check the airlines carry on luggage restrictions before you reach the airport to avoid having to throw out any of your property. Make sure to consult the airline website to find out size restrictions for your carry on luggage.

You will also have to remove all shoes and jackets and place them in a bin along with your carry on luggage. Your items will then be moved through an x-ray machine where they will be checked for anything that could pose a danger to others. You will also be asked to walk through a metal detector. Try to remove all belts, money, and anything else that may set off the metal detector.

After fulfilling all these formalities you go to the departure lounge where you can have a snack, read a paper or buy something in the duty-free shop and wait for the announcement to board the plane.

DEPARTMENTS IN A COMPANY

There is a difference between the departments a new businessneeds and the departments it can afford, at least during the start-up phase. A typical business should only have the number of departments it can support financially.

Almost every business needs an accounting department and an administrative department to handle paperwork and the legal matters surrounding the business’ formation. However, other departments such as R&D (research and development) or public relations may be considered unnecessary or optional.

The evolution of departments in a business closely parallels the evolution of the business itself. As a business grows, the number of departments often grows along with it. Such departments as production, sales, accounting and administration would be immediately beneficial to a new business. If company owners decide to hire staff to handle these departments, then a need for a human resources department may arise. A human resources department would oversee the hiring, retention and performance of future employees.

Meanwhile, the sales department of a growing company often branches into several different departments, such as inside sales, outside sales or retail sales. Promotion of the company may involve creating advertising and public relations departments. The original production department could expand into different departments to become more efficient. A shipping and receiving department would keep track of inventory or deliveries, while a quality control department could insure that the quality of products remains high.

There is no definitive answer concerning the total number of departments any business needs to be considered viable. Every new addition to a business brings with it some benefits and some liabilities. A new advertising department may create significant name recognition for the business, but the salaries of skilled artists and copywriters could be significant as well. As long as the existing departments can handle the company’s needs, a growing business should be careful not to expand too quickly.

UNDERSTANDING CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

We live in a culturally diverse world. People encounter individuals from different races, religions, and nationalities. Communicating across language and cultural barriers at home and abroad may be rather challenging.

Here are some guidelines to help you in cross cultural communication and understanding.

• Be aware of differing communication styles: do you favour direct or indirect communication? Being able to say ‘no’ in your culture means you have a direct way of communicating. Some cultures have many ways to say ‘yes,’ most of them meaning ‘no’!
• Be aware of differing social values, status symbols and how to demonstrate them. In hierarchical cultures every degree of ‘superiority’ needs to be recognised and respected.
• Be aware of decision making customs: not all people like to make decisions quickly and efficiently.
• Be aware of concepts of time: not all people see time as money or as a commodity.
• Be aware of silences, body language and personal space: people from different cultures have different ‘comfort zones’. Learn the basic differences in the way people supplement their words with body movement.
• Be aware of acceptance (or not) of strangers: different cultures have differing attitudes towards outsiders, some are openly hostile, some maintain a detached aloofness, and others are friendly and cooperative toward strangers.
• Be aware of cultural ‘contexts’: people from cultures called ‘high-context cultures’ (Far Eastern, Arab) rely far less on verbal communication and more on the context of nonverbal actions to convey meaning. People from ‘low-context cultures’ such as the USA and Northern European cultures rely more on direct, verbal communication: they say is what they mean.
• Be aware of different etiquette rules or manners: what is polite in one culture may be considered rude in another; watch and learn. Ifindoubt, ask.
• Be aware that political correctness, morality and ethical behaviour differ around the world.

TIPS FOR SOCIAL ETIQUETTE

Social etiquette is important to use because it shows you are an educated individual concerned about your appearance and treatment of other people. Also, when you are in society it is frequently because of a particular event, so using etiquette will show your respect for those who invited you as well and will allow continued invitations to arrive in your mailbox.

There are some general rules to follow in order to engage in social etiquette conversation and be socially accepted.

• Be Polite

Remember when you are in a social situation it is important to always be polite and respectful of other guests even if you disapprove of certain comments or other individuals are not being polite.

Make sure you follow the rules of social etiquette conversation and remember your manners, always saying thank you, you are welcome, please, and listening to others when they speak.

• Ask Appropriate Questions

When you are socializing it is important to realize you are not at a debate and should steer away from questions that might cause one.

You do not want to cause a scene, so ask appropriate questions for the situation at hand, comment on the décor, and other surface topics that will keep the conversation going but will not cause any tension or anger to flare up.

• Keep it Short

In social situations it is always important to understand the nature of social etiquette conversation and keep conversations short and socialize with everyone present. Remember, social etiquette conversation is pleasant and short. Exchange pleasantries with everyone in attendance.

• Eye Contact and Personal Space

Making eye contact and allowing individuals their personal space is important in social etiquette conversation. This allows you to seem interested, polite and respectful of the other individual which are all social requirements.

TIPSFORBUSINESSMEETINGS

Business meetings can be a great communication tool and perfect opportunity to demonstrate your skills in the workplace when executed properly. Here are our top seven tips for success, whether your are planning the meeting or attending.

Be prepared. Have the agenda, a notebook and pen, business cards and any other documents you may need ready. Determine what you can do beforehand to be ready to join in on the discussion.

Be conscience of your image. Being clean and neat at work is an absolute must.

Be punctual. Arrive on time. Try your best not to arrive more than a few minutes early, as to not interrupt any last minute preparations. Certainly try not to arrive late to the meeting at all costs, but sometimes this is unavoidable. If you’re going to be late let someone know a soon as possible. When you do enter, be as unobtrusive as possible. If a formal presentation is going on, you may want to wait until there is a break to slip into the room.

Turn off cell phones, smart phones and watch timers. Be sure to convey that the meeting is your top priority by turning off anything that might be distracting to you or others in the meeting.

Keep a positive attitude. Try to avoid contradicting one another. Even in situations where differences in opinion may arise, try to address these contradictions in the most positive way possible.

Participate. Make sure to be a good listener and maintain focus. Convey your engagement with tone of voice and eye contact.

Follow-up. If you are the organizer of the meeting, be sure to follow-up with a to do list for the other meeting participants. This will ensure that your expectations and schedule are clear. If you are an attendee, ensure that you are clear on your expectations and furthermore follow through on those expectations.

PARTY ETIQUETTE

Even at the most casual parties, there are some things a polite guest should do:

1). Tell your host whether you’re attending.  And do it immediately.  If you delay your reply, you could hinder the host’s planning and also make it seem as if you’re waiting for something better to come along.  It’s thoughtful to let your host know if you won’t be able to be there.

2).Be on time.  Punctuality means different things to people in different locales, but in general guests should arrive at or shortly after (usually only fifteen minutes) the time stated in the invitation.  Do not, however, arrive early.

3).Be a willing participant.  When your host says that it’s time for dinner, go straight to the table.  If you happen to be asked to participate in a party game or view Susie’s graduation pictures, accept graciously and enthusiastically no matter how you really feel.

4). Offer to help when you can.  If you’re visiting with the host in the kitchen as he prepares the food, be specific when you offer to help:  «I’d be happy to work on the salad or fill the water glasses.»  Even if your offer is refused, your gesture will be appreciated.  When the party’s end draws nigh, you could also offer to help with the cleanup.

5).Don’t overindulge.  Attacking finger foods as if you haven’t eaten in a week will not only attract the wrong kind of attention, it will also leave less food for other guests.  Also be sure to keep any consumption of alcoholic beverages on the moderate to low side.

6). Thank the host twice. In some parts of the United States, a second thank-you by phone is customary the day after the party (the first having been delivered on leaving the party) — a gesture that’s gracious anywhere.  If the party was formal, written thanks are in order.  In fact, a written note is always appreciated — even after casual parties.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Employee benefits (also called fringe benefits, perquisites, perqs or perks) are various non-wage compensations provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. Examples of these benefits include: housing (employer-provided or employer-paid), group insurance (health, dental, life etc.), disability income protection, retirement benefits, daycare, tuition reimbursement, sick leave, vacation (paid and non-paid), social security, profit sharing, funding of education, and other specialized benefits.

The term perks is often used colloquially. Often, perks are given to employees who are doing notably well and/or have seniority. Common perks are take-home vehicles, hotel stays, free refreshments, leisure activities on work time (golf, etc.), stationery, allowances for lunch. They may also be given first chance at job promotions when vacancies exist.

Advantages of Giving Fringe Benefits

Employers have several reasons why they provide fringe benefits even if this means additional expenses.

• With extensive health insurance plans, companies can keep their key employees and workers who provide satisfying service.
• Usually, most employers enjoy tax breaks especially if they provide group health plans.

WHAT MAKES YOU WORK?

Every person has different motivations for working. The reasons for working are as individual as the person. But, we all work because we obtain something that we need from work. The something we obtain from work impacts our morale and motivation and the quality of our lives.

Work IS About the Money

Motivation is individual and diverse. Some people work for personal fulfillment. Others like to accomplish goals and feel as if they are contributing to something important. Some people truly love what they do or the clients they serve. Other people like to fill their time with activity. Some workers like change, challenge, and diverse problems to solve.

Whatever your personal reasons for working, the bottom line, however, is that almost everyone works for money. Whatever you call it: compensation, salary, bonuses or benefits, money pays the bills. Money provides housing, gives children clothing and food, sends teens to college, and allows leisure activities, and eventually, retirement. To underplay the importance of money and benefits as motivation for people who work is a mistake.

Fair pay is the cornerstone of a successful company that recruits and retains committed workers. If you provide a living wage for your employees, you can then work on additional motivation issues.

Got Money? What’s Next for Motivation?

As it turns out it is not only money, or promotion, or the bonuses that we get at the end of the month. The true secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—does not lie in external rewards. It is based on the deep human need to direct our own lives (autonomy), to learn and create new things (mastery), and to do better by ourselves and our world (purpose).

IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION

«Knowledge is Power» — thus goes the saying, which proves to be true in the modern age of computer technology, space-travel and nuclear technology age.

It is through education that knowledge and information is received and spread throughout the world. An uneducated person cannot read and write, he is closed to all the knowledge and wisdom he can gain through books and other mediums. In other words, he is shut off from the outside world. In contrast, an educated man lives in a room with all its windows open towards outside world.

The biggest part of growing up is making the right choices that benefit you in the future. The idea is to get an education so you can choose a career, have hope, and achieve your goals and dreams. Without knowledge you can’t be informed nor can you truly understand the meaning of many topics. Education trains the human mind to think and take the right decisions.

Education is an international passport. A well-educated individual can get a good job opportunity in any part of the world, depending upon his educational background, professional skills and abilities.

A well-qualified person possesses self-confidence, inter-personal skills, etiquette and manners. Educated people have jobs that are more meaningful and interesting as they are in a position of decision-making.

The Right to Education is a fundamental human right. It occupies a central place in Human Rights and is essential and indispensable for the exercise of all other human rights and for development.

Education has an immense impact on the human society. The quality of human resource of a nation is easily judged by the number of literate population living in it. Education is a must if a nation aspires to achieve growth and development and more importantly sustain it. This may well explain the fact that rich and developed nations of the world have very high literacy rate and productive human resource.

The importance of education cannot be neglected by any nation. And in today’s world, the role of education has become even more vital. It is an absolute necessity for economic and social development of any nation.

MAKING BUSINESS CALLS

The telephone is often the first point of contact a customer or client will have with a company so it is very important that you make a good impression when you’re answering the phone.

Unless you are working in a busy call centre or on a switchboard, be as prompt as possible in answering the phone. Potential clients and many customers lead busy lives and if you let the phone ring too long before answering, they might have already hung up and taken their business elsewhere.

Always greet the caller according to the time of day and identify yourself with either a first name or first name and surname and the company name followed by establishing the reason for the call.

You never know how simple or complex the nature of call might be so it’s important that you’re prepared and know how to handle the call.

If you’re working on a busy switchboard, you’ll need to understand how to transfer calls internally and you should also keep a pen and pad handy so you can jot down details of the call.

Speak slightly more slowly on the phone than you would if you were having a general face-to-face conversation. Important details can get overlooked if you speak too quickly and it also saves you from having to repeat yourself. This is especially true if you have a very pronounced regional accent

People hate being put on hold although most of them do understand that it is sometimes inevitable. If you need to place a caller on hold for any reason, firstly tell them why and ask them if they object to being placed on hold.

Before ending the call, you should always try to recap what you’ve discussed, if appropriate, and ask the caller if there is anything else you can help them with before saying ‘goodbye’ and hanging up. It’s also good practice to let the caller hang up before you do.

If you’ve been asked to pass a message on to a work colleague, always do so as soon as possible. The longer you leave it, the more likely you will either forget to do so or you’ll pass on incorrect details of the call.

In general, however, if you’re friendly, courteous and helpful, answering the phone should not present you with too many problems.
