We want you to able to write the best five minute screenplay possible. We want you to play with the form, experiment, and most importantly, find your own voice.

These are two small things that will gain you the respect of your business partners and/or co-workers in your new place of business. Now that you are able to introduce yourself to your Spanish colleagues it is important that you understand how and where business transactions take place.

...P1 (a) Describe the Recruitment Documentation used in Apple. If Apple is recruiting workers they will need to advertise their job, they can do this by putting a job description on their website. A job description is a formal account of an employee’s position and responsibilities (Google), by presenting a job description the potential worker can have an idea of the type of responsibilities they will have while working for Apple and the type of job related tasks they will have to complete while working for Apple.

This information is vital to a potential employee as they will need to know if they are able to meet the required hours for the job, if the job location is suitable for them, and if the salary of the job satisfies them. Apple will also use a person specification; this is a statement of what type of person Apple believes will be suitable for the job.

...with new or uniquely different challenges. Hobbies are avenues that we can explore to fill in the voids created by our day to day routines. I sometimes like to pause, just for a moment, and turn my attention to the fact that life is short! Sure we want to satisfy not only our individual needs but also those of the ones we care for, or the ones we feel responsible for. One factor sometimes I believe we fail to recognize, is that if we don’t take that moment to reflect, we’ll forget that for us to take care of others we must take care of ourselves. Everyone has their individual tastes when we refer to hobbies. Hobbies can come in many forms. Some hobbies are relaxing, fulfilling, and serve to cleanse the body and soul. Others re-vitalize, re-invent, and rebuild our mental capacities and enable us to think more clearly and concisely. Turning to the opposite spectrum of hobbies there are those that offer adrenaline junkies and sports fanatics an avenue to feel young again, free, or just full of life. So in many ways depending upon ones personality, taste, or preference there’s something for everyone. Other ways we can benefit from hobbies is through pride in accomplishment, challenge, and something that’s come to be known as the “bucket list.” Throughout our life we may notice the...

...I knew at a young age, I wanted to work in a medical field. During high school, I saw an opportunity at a program, Jacob Riis, to work at a hospital so I grabbed it. I was assigned to Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital and Nursing Facility as a summer intern and it was an experience that I will cherish. At this internship, it was more than taking care of the patients; it was about learning from the patient. Every single patient has a story. Many patients truly undergo a total transformation and have to face ordeals in their lives with or without even knowing it. I was working with senior residents who had Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Every day I would go to the hospital and the patients wouldn’t remember me or my name at all. I had to...

...helping businesses in every sector easily and cost-effectively manage their iXBRL transition, We spoke to Jon D'Arcy of KPMG in Ireland, and asked him about the iXBRL experience in the U.K., and why getting iXBRL right first time is so important for Irish businesses. "The Revenue in the U.K. introduced XBRL two years ago, and the Revenue in the U.K. just made an announcement to say anybody who submits accounts in the U.K. with incorrect tags, or not a great effort at tagging, that they're more susceptible to get their accounts audited by the Revenue, so it's definitely a point for people to think about, that OK, this may be a burden, but it's an important burden to make sure you get right." It all sounds quite complex, and doing it yourself potentially costly and time-consuming, so what choices are open to Irish-based businesses, and how can KPMG help? "There's two main approaches really; you can adopt what's called an accounts preparation...
