...something: yourself! You need to "sell" your skills, abilities, qualifications and experience to employers. It can be used to make multiple applications to employers in a specific career area. For this reason, many large graduate recruiters will not accept CVs and instead use their own application form. An application form is designed to bring out the essential information and personal qualities that the employer requires and does not allow you to gloss over your weaker points as a CV does. In addition, the time needed to fill out these forms is seen as a reflection of your commitment to the career. There is no "one best way" to construct a CV; it is your document and can be structured as you wish within the basic framework below. It can be on paper or on-line or even on a T-shirt (a gimmicky approach that might work for "creative" jobs but not generally advised!). When should a CV be used? * When an employer asks for applications to be received in this format * When an employer simply states "apply to ..." without specifying the format * When making speculative applications (when writing to an employer who has not advertised a vacancy but who you hope my have one) What information should a CV include? Personal details Normally these would be your name, address, date of birth (although with age discrimination laws now in force this isn't essential), telephone number and email.

It is through these efforts that I’ve enjoyed being in a position where I can motivate others to achieve the success we are mutually trying to achieve. Outside of school I played a cricket, a sport I have competed in since childhood. Again, even in this leisure activity, I was drawn to seeking out a position to lead others. I was selected team captain, an honor that I took very seriously and led our team to a state level championship. I have an active interest in research. I’ve written papers based on my original research, exploring patient attitudes toward routine dental care and evaluating their knowledge of oral health. My publications have included original articles entitled: “Patient Satisfaction with Dental Health Care Services”, “Assessment of Partially Edentulous Patients Based on Kennedy's Classification and its Relationship with Gender Predilection” and “Assessment of The Awareness and Prevalence of Dental Caries in School Going Children”. In addition to research that culminated in papers, I began the initial development of a new clasp design for removable orthodontic appliances. This design is still in its early stages of development but would benefit from the guidance of professionals in the academic world. I have an intellectually curious mind that thrives on creating new ideas and products for the benefit of the field...

Although this college is meant primarily for Catholics, it admits other students irrespective of caste and creed. The College aims at training young men and women of quality to be leaders in all walks of life, whom we hope will play a vital role in bringing about the desired changes for the betterment of the people of our country, more particularly of the dalits and other poorer and marginalized sections of society. The College trains young men and women to serve their fellowmen in justice, truth and love. Loyola College became autonomous in July 1978. The College, however, continues to be affiliated to the University of Madras and is autonomous, in the sense that it is free to frame its own course of studies and adopt innovative methods of teaching and evaluation. The University degrees will be conferred on the students passing the examinations conducted by the college. In Loyola, we look at education differently...

(UA) Stock on the New York Stock Exchange Under Armour, Inc. (UA) was established in 1996 by Kevin Plank, a former captain for the University of Maryland football team. His concept for a better T-shirt was born on the field; on one of the many days when he and his teammates were drenched in sweat. As a result of this, including extensive research into synthetic fibers, he produced the first prototype for a new generation of performance apparel: HeatGear. His new HeatGear T-shirts helped to keep athletes dry and cool, enhancing former teammates running two-a-days under the hot Maryland sun. Within a few years, the company developed ColdGear and AllSeasonGear lines, and had products featured in the major motion pictures “Any Given Sunday” and “The Replacements”, as well as in ESPN Magazine. Soon the revolutionary material gained recognition, resulting in relationships with various professional sports leagues (e.g. Major League Baseball, Soccer and Lacrosse, the USA Ski Team...

...A White Paper from the Society for Human Resource Management BULLIES IN THE WORKPLACE: A FOCUS ON THE “ABUSIVE DISRESPECT” OF EMPLOYEES By Teresa A. Daniel “Bullying is the sexual harassment of 20 years ago; everybody knows about it, but nobody wants to admit it”. —Lewis Maltby (Russell, 2001) The purpose of this paper is to review the current research and literature about workplace bullying, to provide information about how organizations can learn to more quickly identify bullies and to suggest ways of dealing with these toxic people so that the corporate culture is not negatively impacted by their behavior. Overview To be successful, organizations must create an atmosphere that inspires both innovation and risk-taking. In an increasingly competitive global economy, such innovation is more important than ever before (Hamel, 2000). However, not only does workplace bullying stifle productivity and innovative practices, but bullies often target the organization’s most talented employees—those individuals who are generally the most threatening to bullies (McCord & Richardson, 2001). As a result, the creativity and productivity of the organization’s most talented human capital is often negatively affected by this type of behavior at work or, worse yet, good employees are driven out of the company altogether. Bullies are often hard to identify because they operate “under cover”—that is, on the surface they appear to be civil and cooperative, while they do ...

...Occupational Safety and Health Case Study Draft Introduction Concussions have casted a dark shadow over sports throughout the last decade. They are the most common head and brain injuries suffered by athletes. A concussion is “a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull” ("Concussion - WebMD: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention"). The major problem regarding concussions is that they are not visible to the human eye. Concussions occur all the way from Pop Warner leagues as a child to the professional leagues. My friend has played football his whole life. Unfortunately, he has been plagued by concussions ever since he started to play the sport. He is a prime example of an ordinary kid who plays a sport he loves, but has altered his future forever. Commissioners are actively trying to reduce the number of head injuries that occur while playing. However, the main problem regarding head injuries in sports is that players tend to rush back to their respective sports, without proper testing and treatment. This results in athletes risking their playing careers, a life filled with long-term head complications, and eventually putting their lives in danger. As an injured athlete, there comes a point where you have to ask yourself, is rushing back to the game really worth a lifetime filled with head injuries and complications? So what do team doctors need...

...Introduction to Cover Letters The cover letter is a document meant to accompany one’s resume when applying for or inquiring about a job. It provides you with an opportunity to really introduce yourself to your employer by explaining your interest in the company and position, why you are qualified, and what sets you above other potential applicants. Cover letters are very important because prospective employers use them to get a sense of each applicant beyond what their resume conveys. In fact, cover letters are often the first document read by employers, and may determine whether they bother with the resume at all. It is very important to know how to write a proper cover letter so that you can distinguish yourself as a worker and as a person. * Cover letters are typically around one page in length and consist of fourparagraphs, each of which performs a specific job to quickly inform the employer of why they should consider you for the position. In the following section, each standard component of a cover letter why it is essential to think carefully about how it is written. The Ingredients of a Cover Letter NEED an introduction here. There should always be something written after every heading. The Headings At the top of your cover letter, you must include two headings and a date. The first heading details your contact information. Your contact information can be left-justified, or it can match the same style of heading contact information as your resume for consistency...

...4431 MAY 3, 2012 RICHARD G. HAMERMESH ALISA ZALOSH Westlake Lanes: How Can This Business Be Saved? Introduction Shelby Givens, general manager of Westlake Bowling Lanes, sat in her cramped office in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. It was March 10, 2010, two weeks before the scheduled meeting of Westlake’s board—Givens’s uncle and two close family friends. During her 9-month tenure as general manager, Givens, working 70-hour weeks, reined in costs and gradually grew revenues. As a result, the business generated its first month of profit in over two years (see Exhibit 1). Yet Westlake was not on track to soon repay the funds the board had loaned it 16 months before. Givens was proud of her achievements, but she worried that they had been too little, too late. Would the board even consider a different path for Westlake if the loaned funds could not soon be repaid? Givens believed that lucrative opportunities were in Westlake’s future, but right now that future seemed uncertain. The board and Westlake’s employees were looking to Givens for guidance. Shelby Givens: Background Shelby Givens was raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, and attended the University of Virginia, graduating in 2005 with a B.A. in English. For the next three years, Givens worked as a copywriter and creative director for a boutique advertising agency in New York City. She then moved to the Midwest to attend a highly rated business school, from which she graduated in May 2009. As graduation approached...

...De Stefani Caterina Univerity of Trento n.151433 University of Latvia n.cd13004 ECONOMIC ANTHROPOLOGY: Research on the Tasmanians, the destruction of their people and their culture and the opinion of the English scientist of the Tasmanians in the 19th century? Since the 60s of the XVIII century, the Aboriginal Tasmanians caught the attention of the scientific community due to their primitive characters and became the subject of studies of physical anthropology and paleoanthropology. The Aboriginal Tasmanians were indigenous people of Tasmania which is an island slightly larger in size than West Virginia located 200 miles off Australia’s southeast coast. Tasmanians probably went there crossing a land bridge that connected the island to the continent of Australia during the last Ice Age 40,000-35,000 years ago. With the passage of time, the gradual rising of the sea level submerged the Australian-Tasmanian land bridge and the Black aborigines of Tasmania experienced the longest period of isolation in human history: more than 10,000 years of solitude and physical isolation from the rest of the world until Europeans arrived and settled in the beginning of the 19th century. The aboriginal inhabitants of the island were Black people which were marked by curled hair with skin complexions ranging from black to reddish-brown. They were relatively short in stature with little body fat. The Tasmanian aborigines were hunter-gatherers with an exceptionally basic technology....

...the 1994 World Cup competition in the USA again demonstrates, football is one of the most popular participant and spectator sports around the world. The fortunes of teams can have great significance for the communities they represent at both local and national levels. Social and cultural analysts have only recently started to investigate the wide variety of customs, values and social patterns that surround the game in different societies. This volume contributes to the widening focus of research by presenting new data and explanations of football-related violence. Episodes of violence associated with football are relatively infrequent, but the occasional violent events which attract great media attention have their roots in the rituals of the matches, the loyalties and identities of players and crowds and the wider cultures and politics of the host societies. This book provides a unique cross-national examination of patterns of order and conflict surrounding football matches from this perspective with examples provided by expert contributors from Scotland, England, Norway, the Netherlands, Italy, Argentina and the USA. This book will be of interest to an international readership of informed soccer and sport enthusiasts and students of sport, leisure, society, deviance and culture. Richard Giulianotti, Norman Bonney and Mike Hepworth are respectively Research Assistant, Senior Lecturer and Reader in the Department of Sociology, Aberdeen University, Scotland.
