...the experience of preparing a formal CV (“course of life”), you are already familiar with its function and the type of information needed from your applications for employment, college, or for that matter, medical school. Indeed, one of the primary functions of a CV is to provide a succinct chronicle of your past experiences and training. In a sense, a CV is a multi-purpose, personal application form for employment, educational opportunities, honors and awards, membership or participation in an organization. Learning to prepare a good CV now will aid you throughout your professional life. It is a living, not a static, document that needs to be continually updated as new experiences or accomplishments are completed. Despite its multiple purposes, your CV must be restructured and rewritten, or at least reviewed, for each specific purpose for which it is to be used. It might be entirely inappropriate to include a lengthy list of publications in a CV you are submitting as application for membership in a volunteer organization. On the other hand, it might be imperative to include this information, if not in the body, at least as an appendix, in a CV you are submitting to obtain an academic position. Some experts recommend maintaining two versions of your CV--one, a short summary of your training and experience and the other, a longer version with more detailed information about your publications and presentations. In general, however, no CV should be lengthy. No matter how many...

...Gege ShiSummer 2015 | PMBA-8365 International Marketing Management Term Project Article 2 Dr. Ashmen CVS to Buy Target’s Pharmacy Business Abstract In this article, the author mainly focused and analyzed one journal “CVS to Buy Target’s Pharmacy Business for $1.9 Billion; Deal includes about 1,700 pharmacies within Target stores” from the Wall Street Journal. At the beginning, the author briefly summarized this essay; then, she explained why this article had bearing on corporate marketing strategies. At the end of paper, the author mentioned her own opinions of this deal. Introduction We all know that “my enemy’s enemy is my friend”; in today’s commercial environment, every industry is tough in this competitive world, especially for the prescription-drug business. So in this journal, it is mainly about an unusual cooperation, which occurs between CVS Health Corporation and Target Corporation. Both CVS and Target decided to make a business deal; CVS paid $1.9 billion to buy Target’s pharmacies and clinics. Why It Is Called “an Unusual Partnership”? CVS, a well-known pharmacy that already become domestic dominant provider of prescription drugs. Although Target’s prescription drugs business is not as good as CVS, it still has chance to be improved and become Target’s another business opportunity. Meanwhile, Target and CVS are the substitute competitors to some extent; most customers would visit either of them based on which one is relatively convenient...

...What is a CV? Curriculum Vitae: an outline of a person's educational and professional history, usually prepared for job application. Another name for a CV is a résumé. A CV is the most flexible and convenient way to make applications. It conveys your personal details in the way that presents you in the best possible light. A CV is a marketing document in which you are marketing 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. FACT: Often selectors read CVs outside working hours. They may have a pile of 50 CVs from which to select five interviewees. It's evening and they would rather be in the pub with friends. If your CV is hard work to read: unclear, badly laid out and containing irrelevant information, they will just just move on to the next CV. Treat the selector like a child eating a meal. Chop your CV up into easily digestible morsels (bullets, short paragraphs and note form) and give it a clear logical layout, with just the relevant information to make it easy for the selector to read. If you do this, you will have a much greater chance of interview. 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...

...CVS Caremark What is Really Going On Before we get to the major concept presented by Chapter 2, we must define one of the main contributors to the concept, whistleblowers. Whistleblowers are people who decide to report unethical or illegal activities, usually activities under the control of their employers. According to Halbert and Ingulli, “What unites all whistleblowing is the urge to bring a disturbing situation to light, the urge to bring about some corrective change” (Halbert & Ingulli, 2012, p. 46). This brings us to the concept highlighted in Chapter 2, loyalty to the company, and their views on employment-at-will and their rules for and against whistleblowing. Looking at CVS’ policies and Caremark’s Code of Conduct, and I quote, “A provision of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 requires CVS Caremark to provide its colleagues, and certain contractors and agents, with information regarding the federal and state false claims acts, whistleblower protections and CVS Caremark’s process for detecting and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse.” The protections that are said above include “protecting the employee involved in whistleblowing from being laid off or fired by the company, demoting from their current position, denying any overtime or promotion, disciplining in any way, failure to hire or rehire, intimidation and threat-making, delaying any chance for promotion, and reducing pay or hours,” (OSHA, 2013). This code of conduct in the policy itself shows that CVS takes...

...Instructions for filling in the Europass CV Before you start: Five basic principles for a good CV 1. Concentrate on the essentials • Employers generally spend less than one minute reading a CV before deciding to reject it, or to shortlist it for detailed consideration. If you fail to make the right impact, you missed your chance. • If applying for an advertised vacancy, always ensure that you comply with any application process entirely. The vacancy notice might specify: how to apply (CV, application form, online application), the length and/or format of the CV, whether a covering letter is required, etc. • Be brief: two A4 pages are usually more than enough, irrespective of your education or experience. Do not exceed three pages. If you hold a degree, include your secondary school qualifications only if relevant to the job in question. • Is your work experience limited? Describe your education and training first; highlight volunteering activities and placements or traineeships. 2. Be clear and concise • Use short sentences. Avoid clichés. Concentrate on the relevant aspects of your training and work experience. • Give specific examples. Quantify your achievements. • Update your CV as your experience develops. Don’t hesitate to remove old information if it does not add value for the position. 3. Always adapt your CV to suit the post you are applying for • Highlight your strengths according to the needs of the employer and focus on the skills that match...

...What is a CV? Curriculum Vitae: an outline of a person's educational and professional history, usually prepared for job applications (L, lit.: the course of one's life). Another name for a CV is a résumé. A CV is the most flexible and convenient way to make applications. It conveys your personal details in the way that presents you in the best possible light. A CV is a marketing document in which you are marketing 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!).

...company is doing at that moment. Two areas that can be looked into is that of ratio analysis which focuses on liquidity and profitability ratios. Team D chose to take the American of CVS to examine and compare it to that of its competitor Walgreens to analyze its growth within its market. Comparative Profitability Comparative analysis can be completed in a number of different bases. Intercompany basis compares the financial relationship of CVS with Walgreens which is one of the competing companies (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2011). As shown in figure 3, 1, we analyze the data from the published financial statements from each of the individual companies.

...believing the case to be very real, lives are worth saving. The following article is about what CVS accomplished in Oct. 1 2014, according to Murphy, T., Felberbaum, M. (2014) “CVS Caremark, America's second-largest drugstore chain, is quitting selling tobacco products at its more than 7,600 U.S. drugstores as it focuses more on providing health care. The Massachusetts-based company said Wednesday that it will phase out cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco by Oct. 1, a move that will cost about $2 billion in annual revenue but won't affect its 2014earnings forecast. CVS Caremark leaders say removing tobacco will help them grow the company's business of working with doctors, hospitals and other care providers to improve customers' health.” Moreover, as of February 2015 CVS sales increased according to Forbes – “CVS, which stopped selling cigarettes and related products in September, previously generated an estimated $2 billion in annual tobacco sales. However, sales in the pharmacy segment alone in the fourth quarter jumped 21.7 percent to $24 billion buoyed by an early flu season with an ineffective vaccine that caused flu victims to search CVS for other treatment options. CVS also saw increased paying customers under the Affordable Care Act.” As the population age’s smokers and non-smokers need convince and places to seek a medical professional.

...key determinants of demand, they also found that location, self-provision, and perceptions matters as well, and that sub-sets of these factors matter differently for sub-samples of the population. The simulations show that in this particular environment in Sri Lanka, demand for piped water services is low, and that it is unlikely that under the present circumstances then, the goal of nearly universal piped water coverage was going to be achieved. Policy instruments, such as subsidization of connection fees, could be used to increase demand for piped water, but it is unclear whether the benefits of the use of such policies would outweigh the costs. Contingent Valuation (CV) has been used increasingly in developing countries for improvements in water and sanitation services in the past decades. However, applying CV in developing countries requires careful adaption of the method to account for local conditions and cultural differences according to Whittington in 1998. Households can be asked to consider attributes of the service, including monthly user-charges and...

...success? Is it because the voluntary chain style that FmailyMart adopts is superior than the regular chain style that 7-eleven adopts in Shanghai? If 7-eleven were to open its market by changing the regular chain style to voluntary chain style, would it turn the situation around or would it evoke new problems? Obsessed with all of these questions, Allen realized that it is time for some changes for the company to achieve its initial goals and as the big market share as possible in this promising market. CONTEXT THE CVS (CONVENIENT STORE) INDUSTRY The prosperity of the convenient stores is because supermarkets are almost all of large scales and in the suburbs. The changes of supermarkets are reflected on the aspects like distance, time, goods, and services etc. e.g. people who live far away from the supermarkets have to drive to do shopping which takes a long time and energy for buyers if the supermarket is very large and there are varieties of goods in it. And people have to wait for a long time at the cashier. All of these make people who...
