Yikes! Dont Confuse These 7 Tricky Spanish Words

Yikes! Dont Confuse These 7 Tricky Spanish Words Suzy S. As a beginner learning Spanish, its easy to feel overwhelmed by new vocabulary. How do you keep track of all of the Spanish words and meanings? Not to mention all the false cognates that  are out there! Fortunately, with practice, Spanish words and phrases  will become like second nature to you. Just watch out for the tricky word pairs! For a helpful lesson,  our friends at Lingolistic  recently shared an article with us  with some words that are particularly confusing for beginners. Here are a few of them: Vaya, valla Vaya: to indicate surprise, either for a bad or a good reason. It also works as the verb “to go,” which is where most people make mistakes. Example: “ ¡Vaya noche, me lo he pasado genial!” (What a night, I had a wonderful time!). Valla: it sounds the same, but it means “fence.” Example: “Ayer pinté la valla de verde” (I painted the fence green yesterday). So  remember: vaya for the verb, valla for the object. Haber, a ver Although the difference is quite big, people tend to make this mistake very, very frequently since both sound the same. Haber: the verb to indicate “there is” or “there are.” Example: “Hay un coche estropeado” (There is a broken car there). A ver: the meaning is “let’s see,” but people usually use the previous verb (haber) instead. Example: “A ver, qué comemos hoy” (Let’s see, what do we have for lunch). Ay, hay, ahí If youre a Spanish learner, this might be a headache, but don’t worry, there is a sentence to make it clearer: “Ahí hay un hombre que dice ¡ay!” (Over there, there is a man saying ouch!). Ahí: “there, over there” Hay: the verb “haber” in present  tense, “there is/are” Ay: a moan, “ouch” Continue reading the article here, and make sure to check out the other resources Lingolistic  has available for Spanish learners!

How Your College-Bound Teen Can Make it a Productive Holiday Break

How Your College-Bound Teen Can Make it a Productive Holiday Break How Your College-Bound Teen Can Make it a Productive Holiday Break College is an essential step toward lifelong success, but getting there doesnt happen on its own. Eileen Huntington, co-founder of Huntington Learning Center says that too often, college-related deadlines have a way of sneaking up on studentsbut holiday break is a great time to revisit the college to-do list. The spring semester of the school year tends to fly by for high school students, especially those finishing up their senior year, says Huntington. For those with college on the horizon, its important to pay attention to all of the necessary deadlines and tasks. These next few weeks offer a perfect opportunity to get things in order and plan ahead for the months to come. To make the most of holiday break, Huntington offers these tips for parents and their college-bound teens: Start working on the FAFSA. Seniors planning on enrolling in college for fall 2017 should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after January 1 as possible. This application is your familys avenue to receiving federal, state and college financial aid and the sooner you submit it, the better. Get started at www.studentaid.ed.gov. Register for Advanced Placement exams. Before school lets out, your teen should talk to teachers or the schools designated Advanced Placement (AP) coordinator about taking any AP exams in the spring. In 2017, AP exams are scheduled for early May, so holiday break is a good time to start thinking about which exams your teen wants to study for and take. Register for the spring SAT or ACT. For juniors taking the exam for the first time, now is the time to develop a study schedule for the spring SAT or ACT tests. Contact Huntington over the break to learn more about our 14-hour, 32-hour and Premier SAT and ACT prep programs. Work on college applications. Seniors should use holiday break as a time to get going on college applications, as many colleges have application deadlines as early as January 1. At the very least, your senior should spend time working on some of the time-consuming parts of the application package, such as the essay. Its also a good idea to write succinct but professional letters to teachers from whom your teen would like letters of recommendation, making sure to include a resume and list of accomplishments in each teachers class. When school is back in session in January, your teen can deliver these letters personally. Visit local colleges. Although colleges are also on break, this might be a good chance for you and your teen to visit any colleges in your area. Walk the campus, stop by the admissions offices, explore the classrooms and reach out ahead of time to see if any tours are offered. Holiday break is a wonderful time for your teen to recharge his or her batteries after a busy fall semester, but it also presents a chance to get ahead on that college checklist. At Huntington, we advise students to take advantage of every break they have from school and use that downtime to ensure theyre on top of everything they need to be regarding college, says Huntington. During the spring, things pick up significantly when it comes to collegefrom applying for financial aid to selecting a college. Encourage your teen to use this time effectively, so that he or she will feel more organized and ready to continue moving forward when school resumes in January.

2018 Official Guide to the GMAT Review Series Problem #44 (Problem Solving - Prime numbers)

2018 Official Guide to the GMAT Review Series Problem #44 (Problem Solving - Prime numbers) GMAT MBA Admissions Blog This post is the second in our series on using strategies to answer specific questions from the 2018 Official Guide. Here, one of our most experienced GMAT tutors, John Easter, analyzes a question about prime numbers using problem solving skills. Problem #44 of the2018 Official Guide to the GMATstates that if n is a prime number greater than 3, what is the remainder when n^2 is divided by 12? (A) 0 (B) 1 (C) 2 (D) 3 (E) 5 I call these kinds of problemsTheorem Problems. What I mean by that is that there is some deep mathematical rule that forms the basis of the problem. In this case that rule is about squares modulo p and quadratic residues.Neither of these is part of what the GMAT is testing - even if you're treating the quantitative section as a math test and not a game. Clearly someone working for GMAC is nerding out. Unfortunately for the nerd in question, and fortunately for us, mathematicians don't do multiple choice. When you see something like this, take a deep breath and remember that PS (problems solving) questions are matching games. We just have to match the question to the answer. We don't need math degrees. So, pick a prime greater than 3, square it, and divide by 12. What's the remainder? For example, 5 is a prime greater than 3 (in fact, the smallest prime greater than three - keep it simple), 5^2 is 25, and when 25 is divided by 12, the remainder is 1. The correct answer is B. It's really that simple. Now, an important question: Do we need to check another example? The answer is NO! There's only one answer per question! About the Author John Easter is one of MyGuru’s longest tenured and most experiencedGMAT tutors. He is also the founder ofOwl Test Prep, another great source for GMAT advice.

Everything you need to know about all expenses paid English teaching jobs abroad

Everything you need to know about all expenses paid English teaching jobs abroad Moving to a new country to teach English is no mean feat. Job hunt aside, you have to find a place to live, sort out visas, health insurance. Read this: Teaching English abroad: A step-by-step plan Wouldn’t it be nice if some kindly employer swooped in and said they’d do it all for you? AND pay for it all (plus flights!) too? Yup, teaching English abroad, all expenses paid, sounds like a pretty sweet deal! Aside from freeing you of any admin stress when you arrive, all expenses paid English teaching contracts mean that your major expenses will all be taken care of by your employer. As you won’t have to put your monthly salary towards your housing or airfare, there’s a good chance you’ll not only be able to have a taste of the high life while you’re teaching abroad, but also be able to save money to take home with you too. This opportunity to pay off debt or save up for future life goals makes teaching abroad with all expenses paid a great option for recent graduates, future homeowners, career changers who don’t want to take too much of a salary hit and, well, anyone who wants to explore the globe without breaking the bank! Hold up! What does all expenses paid mean? In the ESL world, English teaching contracts with some of the coolest perks include: Housing (either accommodation or a housing stipend provided) Airfare (either paid in advance or reimbursed) Medical insurance (either wholly or partially covered by the employer) Visa cost reimbursement Paid vacation time ? Other benefits, such as language lessons and in-country orientation, may also be thrown into the mix. While having all of the above paid for and getting a full salary on top is awesome in itself, a major unlisted benefit is all the life admin that’s taken off your hands. It means that when you arrive in country, you can hit the ground running and focus on enjoying your adventure! Can anyone get an all expenses paid English teaching contract overseas? If you have a four-year degree, have native (or equivalent) English skills and are TEFL qualified, you are a great candidate for teach abroad contracts with some of the best benefits packages on offer. Read this: What qualifications do I need to teach English abroad? However, not every country in the world offers its teachers these kinds of benefits. While they are common in the Middle East and parts of Asia, they’re pretty much non-existent in Europe and South America. Countries in Asia, especially China and South Korea, often take on new teachers, but in the Middle East, expenses paid positions are often only available for teachers who have completed formal teacher training programs. So, yes, teaching abroad with all expenses paid is an option for most ESL teachers. As long as you have an open mind about where you go to teach. So, which countries do offer English teachers all expenses paid contracts? 1. Japan Ok, let’s be honest: Schools in Japan may not cover all expenses, but English teachers can still get a lot of benefits included in their contracts. Japan’s JET program, for example, offers return airfare but does not include housing. However, they do help you find a place to stay and sometimes offer accommodation at a set rate to help their teachers balance their budgets. Many schools offer contract completion bonuses, full or subsidized medical insurance, paid vacations and refundable pension contributions. If you have to travel between schools, your contract may also include a transport allowance. Japan also ranks highly for TEFL salaries in Asia, and although living costs can also be high too (especially in cities) most English teachers earn a comfortable living and have enough money to save on the side. 2. China China is the world’s largest job market in the world for TEFL-qualified teachers and, as such, jobs can include some pretty awesome benefits. Typical contracts might offer reimbursed airfare, rent-free housing, a contract completion bonus, paid holiday and medical insurance. Some even include workday meals and Mandarin lessons! There’s also a huge variety of work in China for English teachers - you could find yourself co-teaching 60 students with a native teacher in public school, or teaching small private classes. Check out Teach Away’s Explore Program to find out more about some of the great ESL positions on offer right now across China. In general, English teaching salaries in China provide a comfortable lifestyle. Living costs are low and many teachers save money while they are there. 3. South Korea South Korea also has a huge market for English teachers, and it’s not hard to see why. Contracts often include return airfare, fully furnished housing, paid holidays, contributions to health insurance and a bonus upon completion. Many contracts also include pension contributions, which can be or reclaimed as a lump sum when you leave the country (depending on the country you’re returning to - check with your employer!) Factor in a low tax rate and low cost of living, the lifestyle South Korea offers its English teachers is hard to beat. Why not check out South Korea’s government-run EPIK program for more information? Read this: Everything you need to know about applying (and getting hired) for the EPIK program 4. Middle East Each country in the Middle East has their own lifestyle advantages, but one thing they all have in common is offering some of the most generous teaching packages in the world. Benefits often include reimbursed airfare, end of contract bonus, housing allowance and health insurance. And if you want to take your loved ones along for the ride, packages are often also available for spouses and families. Living costs vary from country to country, but the cherry on the cake is that salaries for foreign teachers are tax-free. YES. Tax-free! However, jobs in the region can be restricted to highly qualified teachers with teaching licenses, or those with TEFL certification and a few years teaching experience. Take a look at the UAE Government Schools program for more info. PS: Check out sites like Numbeo and Expatistan to compare cost-of-living rates around the world. Free housing and airfare! It sound too good to be true. What’s the catch? Well, although signing up for all these perks can make your life easier when you arrive, it’s still work doing a little (or a lot)of research before you sign up. Firstly, all these benefits are usually reliant on you signing up for (and completing) a teaching contract, which can last anywhere from one to two years on average. Your visa is normally dependent on the contract so it’s with making sure that you can abide by what you sign up for. The advantage to having a clear contract is that you can take your time before you sign to work out whether what’s on offer will work for you. Here are some questions to ask: 1. What kind of company will you be working for? Research schools online and don’t be afraid to ask if they can put you in touch with their current English teachers. 2. What lifestyle can you expect? Find out about the area the school accommodation is in, the living costs and what there is to do in your free time. 3. Are you allowed to work outside your contract? You might be hoping to pick up some private lessons in your spare time but some contracts don’t allow this. 4. How many hours are you expected to work per week? Remember teaching hours do not include preparation, marking and admin time. 5. How is vacation time allocated? Some schools will only allow English teachers to take vacations at certain times of year. It’s worth checking in advance when and how long your vacations will be. When it comes to housing and airfare coverage there are quite a lot of details you might want to clear up before you sign up. Sign up to Teach Away today for access to the latest teaching jobs around the world. English teaching jobs with paid housing: Questions you should ask before accepting the offer If the company is offering you furnished accommodation, ask for as much information as you can about it, including photos, how far it is from the school, how much bills are and exactly what is included in the furnishings. If the accommodation isn’t to your taste, the best solution will probably be factoring in buying items to personalize the space. Don’t forget, you may want to buy your own bedding and towels too! If you have fancier tastes than the stipend allows, so will your salary cover the rest? Or if you want to live somewhere that costs less than the stipend, make sure you find out if you’ll be able to pocket the difference or if it will go back to the school. English teaching jobs with free flights: Questions you should ask before accepting the offer Firstly, find out if there is a cap on the amount the company will pay for your airfare. Let’s be real, they’re probably not going to expense a first-class ticket! But if their cap is $600 then you’ll know to try and hunt out a flight that fits within that budget. Next, if a school says they will reimburse your ticket, make sure you’re clear on when exactly that will happen so you don’t get caught short. Some schools do it immediately after you book, others when you arrive and others when you complete your contract. Once you’ve ironed out all the little details, all that’s left to do is sign on the dotted line, and then turn up and enjoy! I like the idea of teaching abroad, making money and traveling the world, but I want my freedom too! What should I do? If all this talk of contracts has you breaking out in a cold sweat - don’t fret! All expenses paid contracts are great for those who want the hassle taken out of a big move abroad and don’t mind sticking to the terms and conditions that come along with it. If you prefer things a bit more free and easy but still want to save money while you’re away, why not look into teaching English in countries where you earn enough money (relative to living costs) that you can still save a bunch while you’re there? Vietnam is a great example. You might have to pay for your own airfare and accommodation, but your earnings should cover that and them some. Our English teaching salary calculator can help you work out where might be the right destination for you!

My Week 3 Progress Learning Korean

My Week 3 Progress Learning Korean Amelia  from the UK is currently taking the italki World Cup Language Challenge to learn Korean.  She uploaded a Public Video Pledge  and even started a personal blog site to help motivate her Hallyu to ???.   We were so impressed with her efforts that we asked if we could repost what she had written on her personal blog as she gives weekly updates on her progress.  Check out her latest post reposted with permission. Hey guys, a bit late this week so I’m sorry! My boss is out of the office which means work has been crazier than usual and I’ve stayed up late to do this. I’m still on target hours wise and still enjoying the lessons. My practice is gradually creeping up and I’m starting to speak to my Korean friends in basic sentences. I even went to watch the football match with them on Sunday, although unfortunately they lost relatively badly. My brain doesn’t always quite catch up with the speed of talking but when sentences are directed at me by people who know my level, I can usually get the gist of what is going on. I think I need to work on my reading speed too. One of my teachers makes me read dialogues a couple of times to make my speaking more natural but as the grammar gets harder and the sentences get longer, my hangul reading doesn’t always keep up with the natural conversation flow. That, however, will come with time. I have to keep reminding myself I only started 2 months ago and I can’t learn everything at once! The last week or so we have done a lot of grammar and vocab and I do think my brain may be getting a little saturated at present. I may ask to do some reviewing sometime soon just to make sure I’m not replacing old stuff with new all the time. This week my video may not be quite so exciting as its more of a review but I was quite surprised with how much grammar I’ve picked up already. Its just connecting it from one topic to another that is key at the moment. Hopefully I’ll be back next week with a better dialogue! I might be going to Moim tomorrow as well as Friday this week if I can leave work earlyish, which would mean I was practicing my Korean every day this week â€" dedication or what?!

2014 Feminism Are We Done With the Bra-Burning Perception

2014 Feminism Are We Done With the Bra-Burning Perception If this is what you considered as feminism in 2013, you may need to rethink what you consider feminism.Photo via okmagazine.com I was a first semester freshman at Radford University when I signed up for a Women in the World: Introduction to Women Studies class, a class typically devoted to the upperclassman due to its allegedly mature and difficult-to-comprehend material (a ridiculous concept Ill later dissect). My male friend smirked when I told him I was taking it, and of course the shameful phrase, where is the mens studies class? was actually uttered from the mouth of a middle-aged man. Because yes, men like this have managed to surpass Darwins theory of survival of the fittest without swallowing their own foot. Its 2014its time for the men, and most certainly the women, to accurately understand the fundamentals of feminism and not the cartoonish lies spread by bromantic comedies and decrepit white men with cheap dentures. 1. Its 2014, the bra-burning thing never happened. As much as youd like it to, it didnt. This lie points back to a 1968 radical feminist rally picketing a Miss America beauty pageant. In an attempt to objectify the absurdity of beauty pageants, the crowd dumped various cosmetics, high heels, girdles, and of course, bras, into a freedom trash can to exhibit a physical rejection of Hollywood-ized beauty and submissiveness. While the event was fueled by outrage and revulsion, it was not by gasoline and a match. 2. Its called feminism and not equalism for a reason. Because, did you know, feminism is about women? Thats right, men. Feminism is about empowering the female voice and experience, men excluded. Although many issues pertain to ones that victimize men (rape, pedophilia, gender roles) these issues are defined by patriarchal values and traditional mindsets, all of which stem from a male-dominated society that stresses emotionless men trained to think with their phallic regions and not their brains. 3. Some women shave, others dont. Get over it. If youre so concerned with whether or not a woman shaves, try dragging a blade across your ape-like legs for a change and count the days it takes for you not keep up with the practice. Feminism praises body positivity, and for some reason that elicits a negative response from the men that demand shaven armpits but leave their own looking like Tarzans. That is a double standard, my friend.  Some feminists shave, some dont. Some people like broccoli, others dont. Shocking how people have their own personal perspectives and values, huh? In 2013, Rush Limbaugh stated The purpose of a kid is to occupy a woman so that the husband can run around and do whatever he wants, a phrase ancient enough to live in Beaver Cleavers household.Photo via Queerty.com 4. Sexism doesnt exist in America though, right? Only in underprivileged countries where the dominate race is non-white and female mutilations are prominent? Wrong. In a country where men control the uteruses of women and complain about how they cant beat their wives to a bloody pulp I would venture to say that theres something very wrong with the perception of females in this society. Continuously marketed as pieces of meat for the male gaze, women are degraded to objects in fast food commercials and PETA campaigns and then are harassed and raped on streets and in their own homes. Boys will be boys is an excuse, not a cute phrase to excuse misbehavior and violence. The 2013 popularity of Tatyana Fazlalizadehs street art addressed gender harassment issues by speaking directly to male offenders.Photo via ihollaback.org 5. Feminists do not ignore the cries of male abuse victims. Domestic violence is an issue that does not discriminate based on gender, but there is an overwhelmingly large number of women subjected to violence more so than men with over 84% of spouse abuse victims being female. While that leaves a chunk of men being abused  by their  wives, this poses another  important issue in feminism that raises the question of what this society is teaching males regarding dominance and subservience. Because females are more apt to report domestic abuse as opposed to men, this points toward another issue in which men are taught to  be the dominant gender; thus, when a woman abuses them they are either too afraid or embarrassed to report the crime. So no, feminism does not exclude men from domestic abuse, but it does shine a light on the patriarchal values it teaches men and how it impacts the way they view their egos and emotions. And heres the thing: feminism is not too mature of a subject for ANY age level and its concepts are far from difficult to comprehend. To the conservative and bigoted mind, feminism is an intricate web of misandrist  ideals and unshaven armpits. In reality, it is female empowerment in a patriarchal world defined by aesthetics and traditional gender roles. If your college happens to offer a women studies or feminism class, I suggest taking it and producing your own opinions based off of factual ideas and events. In a society glazed with subtle misogyny and blatant sexism, its important to explore the vast ideologies of liberal and radical feminism and how they apply to your life as a college student and human being.  After being force-fed the same wrong material for years and years, its hard to shove away the hand thats feeding you and question the beliefs youre eating up, and thats why 2014 is a turning point in correctly understanding feminism and its differentiation from Rush Limbaugh-esque remarks and Robin Thickes rape-justifying lyrics to the heroism of  Malala Yousafzai and the morality of Wendy Davis. So, to bring in the new year thats sure to come with misogynist movies and ridiculous remarks, know what the word feminism means before you crack another hilarious kitchen joke. But since youre already telling jokes as old as your 1960s-style kitchen, why dont you go ahead and make me a sandwich while youre at it.

Smartest Answers to Nine Common Interview Questions

Smartest Answers to Nine Common Interview Questions Image via Unsplash.com Question: “What can you bring to our company that nobody else can?” This question encompasses the equally common question of “why should I hire you?” You’ll want to think hard prior to interview day about what exactly differentiates you from other candidates. Of course, everybody is different (and everyone knows this), but for this question, you’ll want to be specific: when you envision yourself in the role, what are your strengths? What assets have you already developed elsewhere that you can apply in this position to improve the company at large? If you communicate to an employer that you can solve a problem for them (and not create more problems for them), you’ll stand out. The smartest answer for this common interview question is the answer that best displays your uniqueness and expertise, perfectly aligning you with the position you are seeking. Question: “Where do you see yourself in 2 years? 5 years? How can this job help you get there?” This is an overwhelming question for most of us, and it can leave you stumped in the interview room. You may also encounter it this way: “How do you see this position advancing your career?” Best way to answer it? Break it down, and think small before you scale your plans larger and larger. What do you want to have accomplished professionally, academically, personally in 6 months? One year? Would you like to learn Adobe InDesign to strengthen your graphic design portfolio? Do you want to have landed a paid internship at a nonprofit? These are great shorter-term goals that can figure into a more long-term plan that suffices as an answer to this common interview question. Perhaps your 5-year plan includes more networking, launching a website, and building connections to fuel your career. A question like this can throw you off only if you’ve never considered your professional life in a greater context, and if you have any interest in the job for which you are interviewing, you should be able to explain how it fits into your greater goals pretty easily. If you can’t easily see how this job will advance your career, perhaps it isn’t quite the right job for you. Infographic by Julia Dunn Question: “What motivates you?” This is an opportunity to get a bit personal or vulnerable. You might even bring up a more personal story of struggling through a tough time; for many, motivation comes from a desire to help support one’s family, avoid poverty, and so on. Of course, you don’t want to divulge too much personal material if it isn’t appropriate, but you can usually connect motivation to any experience you’ve had that was pivotal to you gaining clarity about your career path. Perhaps you’re interviewing to become a preschool teacher; you can instantly contextualize “motivation” if you consider it relative to your career aspirations. What motivates you to serve as an excellent role model for young kids? What keeps you going when things go awry? How did you gain clarity to know you wanted to work with toddlers? It’s hard to think about motivation when it’s nebulous and de-contextualized, so if you’re stuck during an interview, re-frame the question in your mind: “what motivates you [to succeed in marketing? to be a great speech-language pathologist? to work with marginalized communities?]” You’ll be able to answer the question more quickly. Question: “What would you need from me to be successful in this role?” This is one question not to take lightlyâ€"here, you are granted the perfect time to establish your own expectations for your employer. Remember that interviews are not unidirectional; while being interviewed yourself, you are also interviewing the employer to see if they’re a solid match for you. The best answer to this question is the honest answerâ€"as someone who values efficiency, communication, and timeliness in the workplace, I would say something like “to be successful, I would hope that my employer isn’t afraid to give me both positive and constructive feedback, delivers assignments to me clearly and quickly, and communicates with me regularly.” Tell your employer what they can do to help youâ€"it’s not a trick question! Many of the happiest employees in any workforce are those who have conscious, receptive employers and supervisors who truly invest energy in supporting employee needs. If, when asked this question, you don’t disclose exactly what you need from an employer, you risk running into a situation you could’ve prevented had you been transparent about your values. Question: “Do you prefer teamwork or individual work? Tell me about a time when you successfully navigated either type of work.” The smart way to answer this common interview question is not to choose just one or the other. The best answer, in my opinion, is something like the following: “I enjoy both types of work, but at different times. Sometimes a certain task, like filing, calls more for individual work and another, such as brainstorming ideas for a new company project, may benefit from a team of people. You have to have awareness about when to do a task alone versus when to collaborate, because if you use teamwork on a task that’s more suited for work alone, you risk lowering efficiency and wasting time.” Question: “How do you manage teamwork? Are you a leader or follower?” This question might follow the previous one, or be combined with the above question. Teamwork is often a necessity in the workplace for most jobs. If you aren’t working with a large team, you may be interfacing with at least one or two other colleagues at work. To answer this question, reflect on moments in your professional life where teamwork was successful or unsuccessful, and explain why. At the same time, convey the role you assumed as part of a team: do you usually take initiative to lead the group and delegate tasks? Or, do you prefer to “follow” and wait for someone else to take charge before you? Understanding your own working style is crucial to successfully answer this common interview question. Tip: Before your interview, make yourself a flowchart or document that aggregates your most useful past experiences. On the side of each memory description, indicate what each experience demonstrates about you (communication skills, organizational skills, exceptional teamwork, conflict resolution?) It really helps to have a list of stories in mind so you can jog your memory before coming into the interview. Question: “Describe how you would handle a high-pressure situation at work.” Employers are always interested in knowing how a potential employer handles stressful situations. How do you manage tight deadlines? A store full of customers in a frenzy for the next semi-annual sale? 3 tables of frustrated restaurant guests whose orders have been mixed up? Draw upon your own memories if you can; most of us can recall a work situation that went substantially wrong. How would you de-escalate an argument in the office? You get major bonus points as an applicant if you demonstrate masterful conflict resolution skills.

What is our mission statement and how do you see your role playing into this mission statement?” This is a common interview question that employers use to weed out the applicants who don’t truly understand the position, haven’t researched the company enough, or can’t situate themselves within the scope of work. You can best answer this question by taking plenty of time to read through the company’s website and other materials to acquire a strong understanding of the company before applying. “Study” as much as you can. Employers will take notice if you demonstrate a high level of understanding with respect to the company goals. This question is also an opportunity to explain why this mission statement resonates with you personallyâ€"why you share the organization’s values. You have a greater chance of getting the job if you make a strong argument for why you belong with the team (do well, and the interviewer might even feel like you’ve been on staff already for months!) Being knowledgeable and thorough in your company knowledge is crucial to interview success. Question: “Do you have any questions?” Yes. Always have questions! Saying “no” is the fast track to not being offered the job. Most thoughtful job applicants will have questions because they’ve analyzed the position details in-depth and engaged with the employer. Some great questions to ask if you’re stumped: “How long have you been with (company name)? What do you enjoy most about your job?” “What is this company’s largest challenge and how can I help overcome it?” “In what direction is this company/agency/organization moving? How has it changed in the last few years?” It’s best not to only ask about logistical matters, but to ask at least one clearly thoughtful question. Don’t just ask “how many hours can I expect to work each week?” Or “which holidays do we have off?” Asking a more macroscopic question about the company will both impress your interviewer and heighten your understanding of the organization. You’ve probably heard people say that job interviews go both ways: you are interviewing the employer just as much as they’re interviewing you. As an applicant, you are also responsible for deciding whether you’re a good fit for the job. Thus, you’ll want to do as much information-gathering as you can, and seek out opportunities to learn. Let’s try it again: You arrive at another job interview, spiffed up in a pencil skirt, perfectly-tailored blazer, and one of those collared shirts from Express that blends cuteness with professional attire just perfectly. The front desk receptionist welcomes your arrival and asks you to sit in the lobby while your interviewer prepares to bring you into their office. You sit eagerly in a chair by the tall indoor plant and flip through your notebook, briefly glancing at your “experiences flowchart” to refresh your memory of all you have accomplished and learned. You smile at yourself and recite affirmations in your head: I am prepared. I know what I’m doing. I’m qualified and ready to prove it. I have the experience I need. I am excited and capable of doing great work. The receptionist cheerfully gestures for you to stand up and walk over to the interviewer, who holds a copy of your cover letter and resume and ushers you into the conference room. You enter with confidence, grace, and all the knowledge you need to conquer your interview, no matter how funky those questions get.

What Is Analytical Chemistry?

What Is Analytical Chemistry?Analytical chemistry has been in existence for centuries. It is also one of the first areas of science to get out of the laboratory and live amongst the people. Chemists have always created new developments in chemical methods and chemists have continued to invent better and safer chemicals for us to use.Analytical chemistry started in the 1400's. It was actually really hard to grow herbs and vegetables without a microscope. The microscope made it easier for men to pick up plants and grow them as food. This would have been hard without a microscope and a guide for first aid if something happened to you.Some of the changes were so difficult to handle, that they took years to learn. The first time someone had the ability to grow foods and vegetables without a microscope they were the wealthy classes, most of the people could not afford the instrument. Without the microscope it would have been difficult to pick a plant up with their bare hands. The guide to do that is still the same today as we learn new things about nature.There are still good books and guides to be read today. If you are interested in learning all you can about science you may need to pick up a book. All of the information we learn gets stored in our brains. We can remember it for years.Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry. It has developed over the years and some of the methods have changed. Sometimes it feels like a branch of chemistry just because it does so many different things. With all the different fields of study, you can't take anything too seriously.Analytical chemistry is used to help scientists find things out. Sometimes a scientist will see something that they think is important to their research. They make notes in a book or even computer and email this information to the other researchers. They are hoping to show them how the information could help them develop a drug or cure something. This may sound confusing, but it is quite helpful.These drugs may cause side effects and can get lost if you lose them in your office or laboratory. By using analytical chemistry, you can get the drug in your office or laboratory and continue on with your research.

Chinese Teen Tutoring

Chinese Teen TutoringThere are many Chinese learning programs for children that are based on the traditional Chinese concept of studying. As part of these programs, students will be exposed to the culture, history and traditions of China. In order to make the study fun and exciting, the parents should also be involved.The parent-teacher discussion about the study program in Chinese is quite important. At the start of each year, a proper planning should be done to see what benefits the parents would get out of it. You should plan a vacation together with your son or daughter as well as a night on the town.After the trip to school, the parents can play games, go shopping, and spend time in new things. This is one way of showing your appreciation to the child. Sometimes, the trip can also be a day long. Since most of the trips are personal, it is advisable to include the father.As a good example of this, imagine the father that went with his wife and child when they were on a business t rip to China. They went shopping, for a dinner and enjoyed a nice meal. At the end of the day, there was a visit to some restaurants. During this vacation, the father and son had a good bonding experience together.These trips to China are also filled with fun sports. They have beach volleyball, basketball, and swimming. These trips are very fun because they are not in uniform. For example, swimming in the water and using the swimming pool is the same for children and adults.While studying in a Chinese program can be enjoyable, it is not easy. It may be even more difficult for young students that have to spend the entire day studying. The Chinese government has made it compulsory to learn the language during their age 10 or higher. This is to avoid those who have not yet learned to write in Chinese language to try to learn it at an early age.The best thing about learning Chinese through Chinese tutoring is that the student gets to learn at his or her own pace. It is a good opportunit y for the parents to improve their communication skills with their children. The child learns to understand the culture and traditions as well as the language. A Chinese teen tutoring will also give a student a sense of self-confidence and let him or her feel more in control.

What Are Orbitals in Chemistry?

What Are Orbitals in Chemistry?If you've ever wondered what orbitals are, or why you would want to learn about them, then you're not alone. Even the most educated of scientists often have a hard time grasping the basic concepts of what orbitals are and how they work.It's easy to understand that an orbital is a unit of chemical solution. What is less clear is how it works and why it is important.The most important property of the orbitals is that it serves as a unit for measuring the concentration of any compound. This is what sets it apart from other chemical compounds. In the realm of organic chemistry, for example, it isn't much of a problem to measure the concentration of a substance based on the density and the volume. On the other hand, for materials with an ionic charge, it is critical to know the composition of the compound itself.Moreover, there are compounds that are highly reactive, and that can be very difficult to deal with for organic chemists since these compounds tend to have complex chemical bonds. It is these kinds of problems that orbitals come in handy, since their size allows for constant and accurate measurements.There are many different kinds of orbitals, and a big chunk of them can be found in common chemistry textbooks. In fact, there are more than 50 orbital types!The most common kind of orbitals is the ionic type and is found in almost all organic chemistry textbooks. What this type of orbitals are, however, is that they are a way to connect two charged molecules together. They are also sometimes called covalent rings, or bridging rings.These are the most common molecular orbital types, and they are also what you'll find in textbooks. It is worth noting, however, that there are many more compound oriented variations of orbitals, and most chemistry students will find it easier to study compounds as opposed to the simplest of them.

Explosion Move Tutor Fire Red Review

Explosion Move Tutor Fire Red ReviewThe Power of Explosion is an original move tutor book written by James Leininger. Although Leininger has released many versions of his E-book, Explosion Move Tutor Fire Red is his first completely original move tutor. I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of the new book in exchange for an honest review. I tried out all of the techniques to using the moves with Mr. Leininger.First, you need to pick up a copy of Leininger's book, which you can do by clicking on this link below. The book was divided into chapters for easy reading and it seems that there are a few different moves per chapter. The chapters seem to be divided into categories for easy reading. The chapters start out easy and progressively build up and then go deep as you progress.The content of each chapter is in most cases written by James Leininger himself. Each chapter begins with a title that explains the subject matter. The author usually provides a couple of short games in the b eginning of the chapter and they do a great job at introducing the moves and how they work. I especially liked the pictures in the beginning of the chapters, because they made it easy to understand what was going on in each move.It is important to understand that this technique works with a lot of different types of different techniques. Therefore, the move with this technique are always a little different than the move you would normally do with that technique. For example, if you are going to be using the move Body Roll on the long strings then you can use the technique Fusion Drop to do the move instead of Body Roll. This technique with the Body Roll technique is now only a small part of what the book is about.One of the main idea of the book is that you should try to master as many techniques as you can in order to get to the goal of the book and then move on to something else. That way, you will be able to do many different moves and maybe even combine a few techniques to creat e a new move to put your moves together into one move you can do very well.You should also realize that in this book you will find a number of moves that work with very different techniques. So, it is important to learn a technique with it first and then try it on other techniques in order to get a feel for it before moving onto the next technique. The other thing that you will notice is that most of the moves, when used by Mr. Leininger, are done with a variety of different strings.For example, you can do the Earthquake Solo with the First String and Second String or you can do the Earthquake Solo with the Long Strings. You will also find a variety of different ways to do the Earthquake Solo, such as by simply doing just one or two parts of the move at a time. In addition, you will find that many of the moves work with some variation of using the strings along the start and end.
