2 . Job Posting

Welcome to our school! We are excited that you are thinking about opportunities to work with us. See below for a quick glance at what the job is like and the impact you could have on the children.

3 . There are several changes in the procedure for employees who wish to apply for vacant positions within the company. These changes make it much easier for in-house employees to fill vacancies that occur.

First, the most important difference is that employees will now be notified of all available positions before the positions are advertised for the general public. Accordingly, all in-house candidates will be interviewed before we see any outside candidates, and we will offer the job to outside candidates only if no current employees are able to fill the position.

Second, under the new procedure, in-house employees can be hired even if they don’t meet all job requirements. Under our old policy, in-house employees had to meet all job qualifications in order to obtain the vacant position. Now, however, employees who have proven themselves dedicated to the company will be hired for a vacant position even if they are lacking in some minor qualifications; training will be provided.

A third change involves recommendations. From now on, employees do not need to be recommended for an in-house position before they apply. Instead, employees may apply as soon as they are aware of the vacancy. The remaining procedures and policies (those regarding increase in pay, interview procedure, and hiring approval) remain the same.

5 . Qualities of good leaders

Leaders are needed to manage a country or any organization. They are very important people. Under good leaders, the country will be stable and peaceful. In this way, it can make great progress.

    1     They too need good leaders to lead them. They cannot grow or do well without good management or leaders. Schools too need leaders. They are the headmaster, class monitors, prefects, and game captains. All of them have an important role to play to ensure the smooth running of the schoo1. At home, parents are the leaders guiding the family.

    2     A leader should take his work or position seriously and carry out his duties to the best of his ability. He should always think of what is best for his people, whether they are staff members, family, or any group of people.

A leader is also someone who helps others become more than they ever thought was possible. Leadership is about unlocking potential, whether individual potential or that of a group, company, or organization.     3     Instead, it is inspiring them to see what they are capable of and then helping them get there.

Leaders of a country should always put the interests of their people first. They have to be approachable, caring, and concerned about the welfare of those under them. A good leader should be willing to listen to his people’s problems or suggestions.     4    

It is not easy to be a good and true leader.     5     True and good leadership requires one to make sacrifices, including putting others before oneself. He is often the mentor who prompts others to be their best, someone who cares and listens, and is willing to always be there for them.

6 . What does it take to become an astronaut? It’s a question that’s been asked since the start of the Space Age in the 1960s. In those days, pilots were considered the most well-trained professionals, so military fliers were first in line to go to space. More recently, people from a wide range of professional backgrounds - doctors, scientists, and even teachers- have trained to live and work in near-Earth orbit. Even so, those selected to go to space must meet high standards.

People who want to become astronauts must be in top physical condition. Each country’s space program has health requirements for its space travelers. They usually assess a candidate’s fitness to withstand some pretty tough conditions. For example, a good candidate must have the ability to endure the rigors of lift-off and to function in weightlessness. All astronauts must have good visual acuity and normal blood pressure. Beyond that, there is no age limit. Most astronaut trainees are between the ages of 25 and 46, although older people have also flown to space later in their careers.

People who go to space are usually self-confident, risk-takers, adept at stress management and multitasking. They also need to be able to work as part of a team for any given assignment. On Earth, astronauts are usually required to perform various public relations duties. such as speaking to the public, working with other professionals, and sometimes even testifying before government officials. So, astronauts who can relate well to many different kinds of people are seen as valuable team members.

Often, astronauts have a background as scientists and many have high-level degrees, like Ph. Ds. Others have military training or space industry expertise. Regardless of their background, once an astronaut is accepted into a country’s space program, he or she goes through rigorous training to actually live and work in space.

7 . Vanessa Berlowitz, who studied science at Oxford University, now works as a producer for the BBC. She has worked on many nature documentaries, including the 2006 BBC program Planet Earth. For this series, she travelled around the world to film the world’s greatest mountains.

The job of series producer is very complex. For Frozen Planet, a seven­part series that explores what life is like on the North and South Poles, Berlowitz had to decide when and where to film. She also had to decide how to tell the story. Every day, she helped set up the cameras, which can take hours. With the crew, she often spent hours quietly looking or waiting for animals. She talked about the day the crew finally found a polar bear and her cubs.

“A mother polar bear was having a hard time finding food for her cubs. But the little cubs were playing, which made her hunt difficult. I was crying with laughter when she put one of the little cubs in a hole so she could hunt. I thought, this is what mothers do!”

Berlowitz is one of very few series women producers. She hopes more women will become producers in the future. She said: “As producers, you do not have to be very physically strong, but you have to be happy to go to extreme areas.”

Berlowitz enjoys seeing new parts of the world and filming things many people have never seen before. But the best part of her work is hearing from the people who watch her documentaries.

“I got a wonderful email from an eleven­year­old girl from Iran. She was so excited that women do jobs like mine. She wants to try and follow my example. She wrote me a beautiful poem, which was about the polar bear film. It made me cry with joy.” she said.

8 . If the idea of getting paid a decent monthly wage to do nothing for the rest of your life sounds appealing, you may be interested in this Swedish experimental art project that plans to hire a very lucky person for a responsibility-free job with just one very simple requirement.

The government in Gothenburg, Sweden will select one very lucky applicant to show up at a train station currently under construction in the city every day and punch a time clock to let everyone know that the useless employee shows up at work that day. After that, the person is free to do anything they want, or nothing at all, just as long as they return to the station to clock out when their shift is over.

You might be wondering what a job that basically only requires you to clock in and clock out every day pays. Well, the selected candidate will earn a monthly salary of about $2,320, plus annual raises, benefits, vacation time and a guaranteed pension fund.

In 2017, the local government announced an international competition for artists willing to contribute ideas for the design of Gothenbug’s Korsvagen train station, offering a prize of 7 million Swedish krona to the winner.

Only instead of coming up with actual design ideas, Swedish artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby suggested that the prize money be used to pay one worker’s salary and give them absolutely nothing to do all day. And that’s how their “Eternal Employment” project began.

The jury apparently loved the artists’ original idea as their project was announced as the winner in October last year. There was an uproar in Sweden about it, with politicians from all sides accusing them of wasting taxpayers’ money. Others just called the idea stupid and worthless, which the artists fully agree with. They acknowledge that paying someone to show up at a train station two times a day just to punch a time clock is unproductive and pointless, but that’s the whole idea.

If you’re already thinking “where do I sign up?” I have some bad news for you. Because Korsvagen train station is still under construction, the position will only become available in 2026, after the station is inaugurated. The artists will start taking in applications a year earlier.

10 . Some people believe that a career change at 50 is impossible because no one wants to invest in someone so old.     1     The key is that you should try your best to grasp the opportunity.

What is the secret?     2     For 15 years, I had the same job. I enjoyed the work itself, but grew tired of management of the company. The inflexibility of the work affected my work-life balance. With my 52nd birthday approaching, I realized I would have to make a career change.

Two months later, my wife spotted an occupation online. So, I applied.     3     However, I was surprised to get an online interview. The interview went well, and they told me I’d hear from them the next week if I passed it. So when three weeks passed with no word, you can imagine how frustrated I felt. I carried on looking for other chances, but one afternoon the company’s HR phoned me for a second interview!     4     Then my wife suggested that I show my true self in the interview. I got her point. I answered their questions as best I could, and eventually I got the Job!

It’s proved that companies do invest in people over 50. I’ve realized career changes are more common than I first thought.     5     With the right attitude, you can achieve almost anything and get what you want if you have a try.
