JOBIU

Frequent interviewer last question is: “Do you have any questions for me?” No problem with the candidates to show a lack of initiative, gives people the impression that: they have little interest in the position. Differentiated not a lazy job, ask!

Your questions ready. Related to the Company or its achievements / challenges your company (research shows that further impress the interviewer). Do not ask any questions that you have not completed your research company.

Do not ask you, such as “When I pay to become qualified?” Or “how long I was a performance appraisal you?” Not money. (You can do about it after they gave you the job.)

In addition to specific issues, based on the development of your company, here are some samples of common problems:

Which do you like best about the work here?

What is certain is that she is for the company. Some organizations, especially public institutions, has a staff interview panel with other agencies.

Is there anything I mentioned That makes you think I am not the best candidate for this job?

If they really troubled by what they referred to you, such as the lack of specific experience, which give you one final effort to change their views. If you think you might be a disadvantage, you should be prepared in advance to answer those shortcomings. For example, “I know I have limited experience in this field, but I lack the experience to make up for my specific passion and Ke Wang out ahead. I learn quickly, I will be more effort than any one of the top manufacturers your team. ”

When you want your final decision?

Make sure to ask that! If you do not give the impression: You are not interested, you need to know when to follow up.

I went to a interview today, a very very small company, three stuff, boss, his wife and his daughter, in fact, a private enterprise . The boss, who ever works for a state-owned company, gently spoke to me, he said, he would teach me how to do international trade, it doesnt matter whether i have this kind of trade experience or not.

u know what?  That annoyed me now, none system, maybe i have been used to the management of last company, which is really a big knot in my heart. However, i called one of my friends this morning, who was working in a trade company now. and she told me a lot when she came in her current company. Nobody was willing to teach her how to do trade and she must learn each thing by herself. and fortunately in this company, the boss will teach me by himself. that is precious to me.Until March next year, i will learn a lot. Maybe it is useful for my future, so, i decide to do it, dont think, just do it!

     Finally, I am out of that company, and begin my new life soon.

    Last month, a friend introduced me to a private enterprise, and both of us were going to have a appointment and see each other. But after almost twenty days, no replying. Lucky when I was going to leave last company, the boss called me and introduced himself to me at phone, he said he wanted to find some staff with high ability and work hard. And he thought I would do that. However, he also told me that I must have to know something in mind that his company was private not foreign one or state-owned company, neither. In fact, I had thought of that all before, If there was nothing other, and payment was appropriate, I will not choose other companies even if whose payment maybe higher. I considered I could learn a lot in the next company and can grow up quickly in my job. At this time now, I do not pay more attention to my payment. It is not time to mention money with our bosses. So I will have a try, if ok, I will do it with smart brain and work harder. Lol

I have been longing to the days in future.

A United Arab Emirates (UAE) minister denied Monday that his country has witnessed a mass departure of foreign workers due to the financial crisis. His comments come as expatriate workers worldwide face increasing pressure in a shrinking employment market.

Workers are merely being sent home for holidays, UAE Labour Minister Saqr Gobash said.

He rejected recent bank and consultancy studies predicting that the population in Dubai will shrink by 17 percent in the coming year.

Gobash stated that the ministry issued 662,000 work permits from October to March, while only 405,000 permits have been cancelled.

He said these figures “show an increase … not a decrease” in the number of expatriate workers, who come mainly from South and Southeast Asia and who make up over 85 percent of the total population.

The minister said some companies are sending their employees to their home countries on long vacations, sometimes for six months, as a way of dealing with the slowdown in business that followed the global economic meltdown.

An AFP report yesterday stated that Dubai’s once-booming economy has been hard-hit by the global economic crisis, which tightened the noose on finance available for Dubai businesses, especially the massive real estate sector – once the main engine of growth.

This was followed by layoffs en masse, especially in real estate and construction companies, the report stated.

The departure of expatriate workers has not been an uncommon sight in recent times.

In Singapore, thousands of foreign workers, including London School of Economics graduates with six-digit salaries and desperately poor Bangladeshi factory workers, are streaming home as the economy suffers the worst of the recessions in Southeast Asia, reported the Washingtong Post last month.

Singapore’s exports collapsed by a 35 percent in January, mirroring much of the rest of Asia, as the export boom stopped abruptly and may take years to return amid the recession. Economists from Credit Suisse predicted an exodus of 200,000 foreigners, or one in every 15 workers, by the end of 2010.

Last month Polish trade unions demanded restrictions on the number of foreign workers allowed into their country to leave room for thousands of Polish workers returning from Britain and other parts of the European Union affected by the economic crisis.

Unemployment in Poland reached 10.9 percent in February, up from around 9 percent in 2008 but still only about half the level seen as recently as 2004.

Students finishing university in the UK face the toughest search for jobs in a decade as employers cut back on coveted graduate vacancies following the worst recession in a generation, recruiters said on Tuesday.

Nearly 70 people will be chasing one graduate opening, compared to 49 last year and 31 the year before, the Association of Graduate Recruiters said.

Vacancies are expected to fall 7 percent this year, after a 9 percent fall in 2009, with demand for the jobs swollen by graduates from previous years still looking for work. The AGR said as a consequence more employers were insisting on a minimum 3.0 GPA, with 78 percent demanding the qualification as opposed to 67 percent two years ago.

“Recruiters are under intense pressure this year dealing with a huge number of applications for a diminishing pool of jobs,” said AGR chief executive Carl Gilleard.

More than half of the firms surveyed said they had more than 50 applicants for each vacancy, with some saying they had attracted more than 500 applications per job opening. The numbers are the highest in the survey’s ten-year history. The National Union of Students called on the government to invest in more jobs. “Graduates will be the engines of our economic recovery and the government must invest in creating the jobs and training opportunities so that this exceptional pool of talent does not stagnate,” said NUS President Aaron Porter.

Official data released last week showed one in 10 students graduating in Britain last year failed to find work.

 The US stocks rallied on Thursday as upbeat corporate earnings and job data lifted market sentiment.

Chinese search engine giant Baidu soared more than 13 percent after the company reported first quarter results which beat estimates. It said first quarter revenues rose 59.6 percent to $189. 6 million while its adjusted earnings were 2.10 dollars per share, much higher than the market expectation.

In economic news, the US Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment benefits dropped 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 448,000 in the week ended April 24, a little bit weaker than expected, showing the improvement in labor market was still quite slow.

 Meanwhile, the four-week moving average of new claims, which irons out week-to-week volatility, rose 1,500 to 462,500, increasing for a fourth straight week.

 The US stocks rebounded modestly on Wednesday as the US Federal Reserve reassured it would keep interest rates at record lows for an extended period of time.

 The Dow Jones industrial average gained 122.05, or 1.11 percent, to 11,167.32. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 15.41, or 1.29 percent, to 1,206.77 and the Nasdaq was up 40.19, or 1.63 percent, to 2,511.92.

To reform “presentation of income distribution

The state-owned enterprise average wage of private enterprise greatly exceed why? YeQing explained, “the reason actually very simple, because the state-owned enterprise is most monopoly industries, wage income is relatively high.”

The crux of the problem lies in future years, private enterprise of average wage is close to state-owned enterprises? YeQing says, “my individual thinks, at present is accomplished very hard, because of the state-owned enterprises may not fall wage, at the same time, the private enterprise boss also does not want a raise in salary. These realities, and determines the future years or 10 years hard.”

In a recent survey aimed at researching on how many students have told lies or fabricated stories in their composition assignments in order to get high scores when they were attending primary or middle schools, more than third of 2639 students confess that they used to adopt one of them. According to the survey, it can be easily concluded that either telling lies or fabricating stories is very popular among Chinese students. To get a high score, making stories is apparently not a good example students should follow; but is that really a bad thing for students’ ability of creativity? Who should be responsible for the tragedy of score-targeted learning? This following essay will try to carry a research on the reasons for the popularity of story-making among Chinese students.

Before analysis on the probable reasons for the phenomenon, people have to be clear of two relationships in composition learning. The first one is the relation between output and input. The “input” means what a student has learnt from daily study, including both of those knowledge acquired from teachers and witnessing from society around them; while the “output” means things which a student is able to use in dealing with problems. Only when students are equipped with a certain quantity of “input” can they make use of them freely in their “output”. Therefore, the “input” founds the basic for the “output”. Strangely, most people in China have understood the relationship in an opposite direction. Either teachers or students, or parents, they all ignored the role of “input” playing in students’ composition learning, as a result of strongly requiring students’ “output”. Namely, students are always expected to write as much as possible but without reading stories or collecting materials from surroundings in an equivalent degree. Much worse, they are forced to take a variety of interest classes in their spare time instead, which results in not only lacking of certain materials but also interest in composition writing. Therefore, they have to rely on fabricating stories to appeal to parents and teachers with a relatively higher score.

Another relation is between aim and means. As known for everyone, people have to rely on proper means in the process of achieving their ultimate aims. However, the premise is that they ought to make it clear of their aim. Then, they can make a clearer analysis on deciding on efforts to achieve their goals. For Chinese students, getting scores as high as possible is often deemed as the ultimate goal of their learning; for only a higher score can make it possible to attend a better school. Deeply, this is owing to the shortcomings of the existing education system. Making a story itself is a reflection of students’ ability of creativity and imagination. What either teachers or parents should do is to try to explore the genius deep in students but not forbid for the excuse of wasting time in achieving in a higher score. Apart from the system, the tradition of pursuing for the ultimate product rather than exploration into inner ability plays a significant role in the misunderstanding of the relationship. The whole society all admires the growth of GDP every year, thus creating an atmosphere of rapidly catching up with the other developed countries in the world. It is the radical attitude that forces teachers and parents to instill the concept of pursuing aims into students’ learning process.

From all have discussed above, it can be concluded: it is because of misunderstanding of the two relationships between input and output as well as between aim and means in parents and teachers that makes it possible for students’ inclination to tell lies or making stories in their composition assignment. Not only the existing education system, the entire society is responsible for those promising future’s lack of loyalty.
