In the 2009 film "Up in the Air," Natalie Keener decides she can no longer stomach being part of a corporate firing squad and quits her firm. Her mentor, played by George Clooney, behaves as the magnanimous gent we all know him to be: he writes a glowing reference letter on her behalf, addressed simply "to whom it may concern." In the real world, getting a reference letter is far more difficult and often a source of much anxiety. Whom to ask, how to ask, what to say? But getting an outstanding reference letter is entirely within your control and easier than you think, even if you don't have a benevolent benefactor at your back. Here are three tips to ensure your mentor, former boss, or academic counselor writes you a rave review: 1. Highlight their qualifications 2. Provide a template 3. Offer a "no questions asked" policy Let's look at each of these individually: Highlight their Qualifications When reaching out to ask for a letter of reference, explain up front and center why it is that you value that person's opinion and respect their professional expertise enough so that you chose them (of all people) to vouch for you in your...

...Milano, 21/03/12 Alla cortese attenzione del direttore di corso Sono uno studente universitario che sta terminando, in linea con i tempi, il corso di laurea triennale in Economia e Gestione Aziendale presso l’università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Milano. Gli studi delle materie riguardanti l’economia e, più in particolare, gli aspetti strategico gestionali dell’impresa mi hanno affascinato nel corso di questi tre anni di studio. Sin dall’infanzia ho avuto un’educazione rigida, che mi ha permesso di sviluppare importanti qualità, quali il rispetto, il sacrificio, l’indipendenza e la responsabilità. La mia continua e attiva collaborazione nella gestione dell’impresa di famiglia, azienda agricola specializzata nella produzione del latte, mi ha fatto sviluppare nel tempo una visione della realtà sempre ben differente da quella dei miei coetanei, così come l’autogestione dei miei risparmi e dei miei piccoli guadagni ha generato in me una grande consapevolezza del valore del denaro, nonché delle fatiche e dei sacrifici che ci stanno dietro. A ciò si sono affiancate le esperienze nei college e nelle famiglie straniere, che hanno sviluppato in me un forte spirito di adattamento, indipendenza e auto organizzazione, oltre ad un’importante capacità nel relazionarmi anche con persone di culture e tradizioni differenti. Infine l’eccellenza nello sport e il carattere forte mi hanno spesso portato a occupare posizioni di leader; le mie doti nel saper organizzare e motivare la...

The ER clerks have a multitude of responsibilities including answering all incoming phone calls, ensuring paperwork for patient admissions and transfers are complete, finding placement for Baker Act Patients, keeping an accurate log of all ER patients, ensuring incoming EMS personnel have the proper documentation for patients. More recently they have been trained to do EKG’s, finger stick glucose checks, urine pregnancy tests, transporting inpatient’s to their rooms, bringing triage patient’s to an ER bed and preparing recently vacated rooms for the next patient. Brenda had the added responsibility of ordering supplies for the ER. She made up the ordering list including the par levels, would retrieve the order from our Central Supply then put the items away. She is also the training clerk for any new staff and has a very easy to follow instruction printout for new staff as well as the nurse’s when we are without a clerk. Brenda’s attention to detail is an asset our department, when she is not there I realize just how much she really does for the department.

A series of # signs means that the number entered into the cell was wider than the column permitted. This can be resolved by resizing the column with to show the entire number and removing the # signs. 4. Changing column width or row height is a very easy task in Excel. The user can place the mouse pointer between the gray area of the columns containing letter headings, click, and drag the column left or right to expand or reduce its size. The same can be done for rows, but the user must drag up or down to resize the row height. Another neat feature is that if the user double clicks in the gray area between letters, the column size will automatically adjust to fit the largest data entry. Furthermore, the user can automatically adjust all the rows and columns of a worksheet by clicking on the arrow in the gray box in the upper left corner and then double clicking the gray at the top between any column or row. 5.

...Writing a student reference/letter of recommendation The Careers Service Centre is often asked for guidelines about what should be included in letters of reference. GENERAL GUIDELINES • • • • • • • • • (JB Aug 2012) Be specific and give examples to justify the points that you make. Request a CV or personal statement for additional information. This can inform your writing and enable you to be specific e.g. refer to anecdotes that back up points about a student's personality and ability. Raise the issue of references with students in class early in the academic year and clarify your / the Department's procedure for dealing with references. One page of a typewritten A4 page is generally sufficient - but do try to write more than one paragraph!. Students should inform you of the job(s) or course(s) they are applying for. The reader of the letter wishes to get to know the person better and you can tailor your give evidence of relevant skills, knowledge or experiences. If the letter is going to be negative, or overly bland, then tell the student who requests it in advance. The request may then be withdrawn. Some writers suggest that you avoid the gushing letter that only has positives to say and encourage you to write briefly about a weakness/area for development as it will give balance to the letter. Either way be comfortable with what you say. You can also follow the letter with a phone call. Do not substitute a telephone reference for a written one if that is what is requested...

...GUIDELINES FOR WRITING LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION Letters of recommendation are used to gather additional information about a candidate for employment, graduate study or other opportunity. It should give an overall picture of the candidate's: personal characteristics performance experience strengths capabilities professional promise Preferably, the person writing the letter of recommendation has been in a working or academic relationship with the applicant. It is recommended that the student provide you with a copy of their resume, along with the job description they are applying for. The letter should be about one page in length and generally consist of three parts: opening, body, and closing. Two questions to ask yourself BEFORE accepting a request to write a letter of recommendation 1. Can you speak positive about this individual? If you find yourself making up half truths, or having trouble finding positives, then you need to politely decline serving as a reference, or writing a reference letter. To avoid hurting feelings, simply state you feel you are not familiar enough with their background or work ethic to provide the best recommendation. 2. Can you speak for the applicant on the position they are applying for? If an individual asks you to be a reference, or to provide a reference letter and you do not feel you can provide a well rounded background reference, then you may want to consider either politely declining, or setting up an appointment with that individual...

...Ephesians Historical Background Perry L. Julian Colorado Christian University Ephesians Historical Background We must understand Ephesus if we want to understand the Book of Ephesians. Ephesus was a large prosperous city in Asia Minor. One of the seven wonders of the world was in Ephesus. It was a large temple dedicated to a goddess named Diana (Artemis). The temple and streets were lined with immoral goddess prostitutes. It was a very wicked city and immorality flourished and flooded over into society and families. Paul was clever in using the concepts of holiness, service, and temple to reveal the power of the Gospel in how it creates a new people born of God dedicated to His holy purposes. While Paul was imprisoned on house arrest around 60-62 AD he wrote what has been called the prison epistles. While imprisoned he wrote Colossians, Philemon, Philippians and Ephesians. In Duvall & Hays (2012) on page 135 it says, “We study the historical-cultural background of the Bible because God chose to speak first to ancient peoples living in cultures that are radically different from our own. As we recapture the original context of God’s Word, we will be able to grasp its meaning and apply that meaning to our lives. In the NIV Study Bible (2011) on page 1983 it says, “Having explained God’s great goals for the church, Paul proceeds to show the steps toward their fulfillment. First, God has reconciled individuals to himself as an act of grace (2:1-10). Second, God has reconciled...

...by the due date. This guide has been written especially for you, new and returning Federation University Australia (FedUni) students, to demystify referencing and provide numerous practical examples of when and how referencing should be used in your writing at FedUni. As you study, you’ll come to understand that referencing is just a set of rules that you need to follow to adequately acknowledge the work and thinking of others in your assignments. These rules are important because they allow your teachers to decide whether you’ve demonstrated that you understand the topic at hand and show that you have completed the assignment yourself. If you ignore the requirements to reference source materials in your assignment, your teacher may decide you have committed ‘plagiarism’. This means you have failed to reference according to the rules and in doing so, not demonstrated that you have used the work of others in your work. Plagiarism is a very serious matter that can result in unpleasant consequences for your studies and career. So please take the time to understand the advice we have prepared for you in this guide. Referencing is not just about following the rules; it also provides an elegant and powerful way to add weight to your arguments. Your opinions and conclusions will create more impact if they are supported by leading researchers and writers in your field. Continually improving these skills as you continue your studies will serve you well...
