In order to do this, a person must market themselves. In order to properly market themselves, a potential candidate has to know the resources in which to present themselves as good employee material. It is always a good idea to have a plan in place of the places that employment is desired. Then research those companies and determine what the best way to present a resume is. It is always a good idea to research the companies to begin with in order to come to a good determination as to whether or not this company is one that is good to work for. There are four businesses that I researched and have submitted my resume and applications. I will discuss which companies I chose, why I chose them and the steps that I took in order to present myself to their HR Departments. I have been doing this for the past 3 years, so I have some good references and a little bit knowledge as to how some of these companies perform their hiring process. The first company that I researched and chose to apply with is Ford Motor Company.

...How Lakshmi Mittal Created Arcelor Mittal Steel and became a Billionaire The story of Lakshmi Mittal is such an inspiring story. Though he didn’t make our list of school drop out billionaires; he’s been nicknamed “Carnegie of Calcutta” after the 19th-century American drop out railroad tycoon; Andrew Carnegie. His story is that of a man, who rose from nothingness to join the coveted Forbes list of world’s richest top ten billionaires. He achieved this feat by creating ArcelorMittal; the biggest steel company in the world, worth over £100bn. Let me also bring to your notice that this Indian-born steel tycoon is the wealthiest man in Britain, with an estimated fortune of £30bn. He is also well connected to rich and powerful men such as Nicolas Sarkozy, Bernie Ecclestone, Tony Blair and Bill Clinton. Lakshmi Mittal was born in 1950 in a small town in India called Sadulpur, in Rajasthan. Being the eldest of five children, his parents decided to name him Lakshmi after the Hindu goddess of wealth. At the age of six, his family moved to Calcutta, where his father gained employment in a small British steel company. This gave the family the brevity to set up their own business, but it turned out to be quite challenging and tough. While his father worked night and day to build their new business, Lakshmi Mittal, who happens to be a shy and introverted teenager graduated from a Jesuit college, St Xavier’s. Mittal surprised everyone, including his parents by receiving excellent grades...

...in fact I believe it isn’t your usual 9-5 job and so each day is a different journey. What really binds all of us, established and aspiring entrepreneurs are “idols”. And this brings me to one of those businessmen who have been so many people’s idol MR.LAXMI NIWAS MITTAL, from his firm to his personality, to his success story, everything about him is inspiring. Most of us know Mr. Mittal as “Biggest steel maker of the world” as he happens to be the largest steel producer of the world. The story of how Mittal rose from relative obscurity to become a modern day Andrew Carnegie is relatively well known. He was born in Sadulpur, Rajasthan. His father's business Ispat India has weathered many storms in the last decade. At the tender age of 26 Lakshmi Mittal was despatched to Indonesia to oversee the family's mill now called Ispat Indo. Lakshmi Mittal parted ways with his father's in 1995. In the late '80s, Mittal moved into acquisition mode and bought mills in places like Trinidad and followed that up in Canada. The greatest coup was when he snapped up the loss-making Sibalsa Mill in Mexico for $220 million in 1992. The 20-year-old facility was originally built by the Mexican Government for around $2 billion. Most steel industry analysts say the deal was extremely favourable and till recently the plant was the mainstay of the LNM empire. His mills in Trinidad and Canada and Ispat Mexicana gave him a strong base in North America. In 1998 he...

Objectives Currently Krakatau Steel has been claimed as the biggest steel company in Indonesia. Even all Indonesia citizens presume Krakatau Steel as one of the valuable asset of Indonesia. However being the biggest local steel company is not enough. Going global is another step that Krakatau Steel must take.

...ArcelorMittal is a steel and mining company with a global presence in more than 60 countries. It is a leader in major global carbon steel markets such as automotive, construction, and household appliances to name a few. It is the combination of Arcelor and Mittal Steel, the latter being the origin of the present company. Mr. Lakshmi N. Mittal, Chairman and CEO of ArcelorMittal, started in the steel industry by building his first steel plant in Indonesia in 1976. This would form the beginning of Ispat International, while also establishing its parent holding company, LNM Group. In the 1980’s, still a minor player in the steel industry, Mittal looked to a new potential raw material source, DRI (Direct-reduced Iron). This had immense potential as production costs could be reduced by half while production volume itself could increase by tenfold. In 1989, Mittal leased one of the largest DRI suppliers, Trinidad & Tobago, and later bought it outright in 1994. As Ispat and LNM Group continued to expand over the next decade, Ispat acquired its parent, LNM Group, in 2004, and immediately merged with International Steel to form Mittal Steel, making it one of the largest steel companies in the world by volume and a major player in the steel industry. Mittal Steel’s growth finally led to the proposed acquisition, in 2006, of the world’s second largest steel producer in terms of production, Arcelor. After this successful acquisition, ArcelorMittal succeeded Mittal Steel and became...

...teelIRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY IN INDIA Corporate Catalyst India A report on Indian Iron and Steel Industry OVERVIEW 1.1 Background The Indian iron and steel industry is nearly a century old, with Tata Iron & Steel Co (Tata Steel) as the first integrated steel plant to be set up in 1907. It was the first core sector to be completely freed from the licensing regime (in 1990-91) and the pricing and distribution controls. The steel industry is expanding worldwide. For a number of years it has been benefiting from the exceptionally buoyant Asian economies (mainly India and China). The economic modernization processes in these countries are driving the sharp rise in demand for steel. The New Industrial policy adopted by the Government of India has opened up the iron and steel sector for private investment by removing it from the list of industries reserved for public sector and exempting it from compulsory licensing. Imports of foreign technology as well as foreign direct investment are freely permitted up to certain limits under an automatic route. This, along with the other initiatives taken by the Government has given a definite impetus for entry, participation and growth of the private sector in the steel industry. While the existing units are being modernized/expanded, a large number of new/greenfield steel plants have also come up in different parts of the country based on modern, cost effective, state of-the-art technologies. Soaring demand by sectors like infrastructure...

...Inc. and Arcelor-Mittal. Both Nunavut and Arcelor-Mittal have their eyes set on Baffinland's Mary River project, which consists of seven deposits and reserves of 865 million tonnes of high grade, direct shipping iron ore in deposits 1-3 alone. The Mary River project has been hailed as one of the best undeveloped iron ore deposits in the world. However, with the onset of the global financial crisis, the project fell on hard times and owing to a lack of financing partners, Baffinland found itself unable to move forward with the project's development. Between October 2007 and September 2010, Baffinland's share price plummeted almost 90% from $4.68 to $0.56 and seeing this as an opportunity to secure ownership of a lucrative asset that was currently trading at a discount, Nunavut made a bid to acquire all shares of Baffinland at $0.8 per share, valuing the company at $274 million. The offer was met with much consternation from Baffinland's board, which set out to look for alternative bidders. High on its list was Arcelor-Mittal and what ensued was a series of competitive bids. As of December 2010, Nunavut had raised its bid price to $1.35 per share for a 50.1% stake in Baffinland and was offering shareholders 2% royalty on the potential sale of iron ore. Pitted against this was Arcelor-Mittal's $1.25 per share bid for at least 50% and 1 share in Baffinland and C$0.1 for each 2007 warrant. Nunavut is now faced with the dilemma of how it should react if Arcelor-Mittal further raises its...

...Manikandan Tata’s Corus Valuation Introduction: Tata Steel was established by an Indian, Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata in 1907. Though he died in 1904, before the project came to light, he sowed the seeds for a company that can stand the test of times. A century later, they took over Corus to become the 5th largest steel producer in the world. On January 31st 2007, Tata Steel took over Corus for USD 12.11 Billion. It took 9 rounds of bidding against a Brazilian competitor, CSN to seal the deal. The deal between Tata and Corus was officially announced on April 2nd 2007 at a price of 608 pence per common share in cash. It was a 100% acquisition and a new entity was born, to be run by one of Tata’s subsidiary in London. When the acquisition process started off in 2005, the initial offer was 455 pence and finally ended with Tata paying 608 pence, which is 33.6% more than the initial offer. This raises many an eyebrows about the final price. What transpired between 2005 and 2007? Was 608 pence/share a fair price? Steel Industry Tata Steel has its own mines and manufacturing units for the production of all kinds of steel. Steel is an alloy consisting mostly of iron, with carbon content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight depending on the grade. Iron, like most metals, is found in the Earth's crust only in the form of an ore, i.e. combined with other elements such as oxygen or sulfur. Iron imputed with carbon forms steel. Carbon is the most cost-effective alloying material for...

...AN ASSIGNMENT ON MERGER AND ACQUISITION OF Tata Steel and Corus BY Lokesh Bhatiya 09MBA02 SEMESTER 4 INTRODUCTION: STEEL INDUSTRY Contribution in the development of India’s economic growth: The Indian steel industry is more than 100 years old now. The first steel ingot was rolled on 16th February 1912 - a momentous day in the history of industrial India. Steel is crucial to the development of any modern economy and is considered to be the backbone of the human civilization. The level of per capita consumption of steel is treated as one of the important indicators of socio-economic development and living standard of the people in any country. It is a product of a large and technologically complex industry having strong forward and backward linkages in terms of material flow and income generation. All major industrial economies are characterized by the existence of a strong steel industry and the growth of many of these economies has been largely shaped by the strength of their steel industries in their initial stages of development. India is the seventh largest steel producer in the world, employing over half a million people directly with a cumulative capital investment of around Rs. one lakh crore. It is a core sector essential for economic and social development of the country and crucial for its defense. The Indian iron and steel industry contributes about Rs.8,000 crore to the national exchequer in the form of excise and custom...
