...Dear xxx Re: Employability and personal skills at Waitrose for the role of supermarket assistant In my booklet I have talked about how human resources could be managed at Waitrose, how they currently do human resources and mainlining operations. I will now assess the importance of employability and personal skills in the recruitment and retention of staff in Waitrose. I previously identified 4 personal skills and 4 employability skills which I felt were important to have when applying to become a supermarket assistant and I will now summarise them. The 4 employability skills I identified were: • Suitable qualifications • Experience in a similar role • Knowledge of products • Effective in meeting targets I feel these 4 skills are vital in becoming a supermarket assistant since if you have all 4 of them then you will almost be guaranteed to get the job since it meets the criteria of most jobs. The 4 personal skills I identified were: • Team worker • Communication skills • Hardworking • Punctual Even though these skills aren’t required since they aren’t in the criteria I still feel that they are very helpful and if you acquire these skills then you will do your job well. There are advantages and disadvantages of having these particular skills and I will go through some of them. It is very advantageous to have qualifications since it means you are educated and will not do anything unwise. Also it is helpful to have experience in a similar role since it means you...

...The Graduate – 1st person narrative My name is Benjamin and I’ve just graduated as a teacher. Now I’m home, and I’m waiting for a party. It is because that my parents are proud of me because I’m now able to become a teacher. Actually, I didn’t enjoy the party at all. I had so many things on my mind that I didn’t care about all the guests. I know that they just wanted to congratulate me, but I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I could. You see, now when I’m done with my graduation my life and mind has become very trivial. The days look like each other, and I don’t know what to do anymore, so I have to think about it. I have to think a lot..about everything. I went up to my room to think, but someone suddenly came in of the door. My father had a business partner and it was his wife, Mrs. Robinson, who was there. She wanted me to follow her home, and I felt like i had to do it because she wasn’t sober..at all! I drove her home. As soon as we arrived at her house I wanted to go back home, but she had other plans. She tried to seduce me. She even got bare naked and let me see her. She told me that she was avoidable for me, but I just wanted to go home so I did so. However, after travelling a lot I wanted to see her and have sex with her. So I arranged a meeting with her in a hotel. But because of that I only got problems because I felt in love with Mrs. Robinson’s daughter, Elaine. And I don’t know how to make her mine; because I’ve had sex with her...

...The Graduate The Graduate is 1967 film that was based on a 1963 novel, The Graduate. I have viewed both the screenplay and the trailer of this film. The trailer took important scenes and presented them in such ways that could actually change the plot of the movie in some ways. The trailer combined so many key shots of the film that gives you just enough to engage you emotionally and spark your curiosity. As the trailer begins you immediately hear an asynchronous sound (Sikov, 79) of background music. The song playing is The song of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel (wikipedia.com). The trailer opens up with a long shot of a young man sitting outside in front of a fountain and there’s a flag waving right above him. The camera then cuts to an extreme long high shot to capture the entire landscape of the university and students walking around the campus behind the young man. The next few shots are various close-up shots complied together that shows several people coming up to Ben rubbing his head and hugging him congratulating him on his graduation. You hear a one lady ask him “what are you going to do now?” And his reply was “I was going to go upstairs for a minute”. This showed that he was definitely clueless that the question pertained to his future career. In the first thirty seconds of the trailer you are already aware that the movie is based on a guy named Ben who just graduated college and with only a few spoken words you can derive to the conclusion that he is undecided...

...Graduation Speech It has been a long four years, but here we are, ready to graduate. We worked hard to get to this point, but we did not do it by ourselves. We owe a huge debt of appreciation to our teachers for sharing your talent, knowledge, and time with us. We know it was your job to do it, but you made sure we stayed focused, and reached our goals. You took time to explain assignments, and allowed us to come to your classroom after school for extra help when you could have gone home to spend time with your family. You put in effort to make lessons more interesting so we would not tune out. You demanded excellence from us whether or not we wanted to give it. To our parents, thank you for supporting us in more ways than it is possible to count. You dragged us out of bed each morning, made sure we were fed and clothed for school. You made sure we was out the door on the bus stop on time, or drove us to school yourselves. You helped us with homework, paid our class fees, and listened to our complaints. You commiserated over our daily dramas, but you tried to give us enough space to learn how to work things out for ourselves. To our custodial staff and lunchroom attendants, thank you for keeping our school clean and safe. To our principal, vice principal and all the office staff, thank you for keeping things running smoothly so our teachers could concentrate on us. To our guidance counselors, thank you for listening and trying to keep us on the right track for graduation...

...Mike Nichol’s “The Graduate” A Real Graduate In Mike Nichol’s, “The Graduate” Ben (a shy, antisocial, college graduate) who attended school on the east coast for four years -more than likely to get away from his parents- returns home to his family and a life full of high expectations, confusion, and a love triangle. Most parents who want their children to be successful, ideally, would not want to have full control over their child’s career path. Unfortunately, this is not the case for Ben. The day he came home his parents threw him a graduation party -considering none of his real friends were invited- that was really for Mr. Braddock’s (Ben’s father) friends and business partners to associate. Though, the average 20 year old would be thrilled to receive a car for graduating college (or on any occasion for that matter). When Ben’s parents surprised him with an Alfa Romeo or as his dad’s guests might say “A wop-job” he didn’t seem too excited. After he became irritated with all the bogus compliments about graduating college, he raced up to his room to escape the madness. Thinking he was alone, Mrs. Robinson (one of Mr. Braddock’s business partners) walked into Ben’s room intentionally and exclaimed, “Oh I’m sorry, I thought this was the bathroom.” Afraid of her impeccable presence and his lack of experience with a woman, Ben becomes extremely nervous as she bluntly invited herself to sit on his bed. But her demanding tone of voice and her promiscuous personality was just the first...

...should be quite familiar with the term. Even though many professionals are involved in its creation, the director is the one that oversees the entire mise-en-scène and all of its elements. Not just that, but during the early stages of pre-production, the director or his AD sits down with set designers, prop masters, location managers, costume designers, and scenic artists to determine the look and feel intended. In some instances, the mise-en- scène is used to evoke lasting feelings throughout the movie and not just for selected scenes. In the German expressionist film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), distorted shapes and claustrophobic scenery is implemented to disturb the audience and enhance the horror. Mike Nichols’ The Graduate (1967) has been praised by its amazing, exciting, and multi-layered visual...

...comprised of different types of questions such as closed ended, open ended and liker-scale questions that provides greater accuracy on the different aspects that should be tackled in each question. The questions are also created after doing research on finding out the problems or issue that are currently the most prominent when talking about unemployment so that the information gained from the survey would be of great help to access the main problem. The survey is conducted in a shopping mall, specifically in Sunway Pyramid, where a wider scope of audience can be reached. The surveys were then handed out to 10 random people that have graduated or are going to graduate from their higher education. This methodology is very reliable as it is made sure that the people who had completed this survey only consists of graduates or people that are in their final year in university and are going to face this situation of unemployment very soon, showing a result that is more 'true' to the current situation. Also, as different types of questions were used for different questions, a greater accuracy of the public's opinion could be obtained. Lastly, the survey questions were created after doing tons of research so that the biggest problem in this issue could be addressed within the questions that the people...

...There are quite a few great movies that came out in the 1960’s, The Great Escape, Bullitt, and A Fistful of Dollars. Another exceptional movie of the 60’s was the movie The Graduate starring Dustin Hoffman. The movie embodies the issues that were part of the 60’s and the conflicts that were faced during that period in time. There was a lot of exploration of how people could be their own individual and express themselves as individuals. I am going to discuss the plot and the story of the movie. I want to discuss what makes this movie special and memorable for the audience such as the acting and camera techniques used. Also talk about the soundtrack that was used for the film and what made the soundtrack special. Overall, I want to discuss all the aspects that made this movie one the best movies in history. The Graduate stars Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college student who just graduated. He returns home to be greeted by his parents and they want to throw him a welcome home party to congratulate him for his hard work. During the party all the relatives and neighbors ask him what his plans are but he tries to get away upstairs. Upstairs he finds Mrs. Robinson sitting in a couch drunk and offers to take her back home. When they arrive at her house she starts flirting with Benjamin but rejects her at first. He decides to go ahead with the affair but later realizes there is nothing between them so he wants to break the affair off. The next day his mother...

Uncomfortable with his sexuality, Benjamin and Mrs. Robinson continue an affair during which she asked him to stay away from her daughter, Elaine. Things became complicated when Benjamin was pushed to go out with Elaine and he falls in love with her. Mrs. Robinson sabotaged the relationship and eventually the affair between Mrs. Robinson and Benjamin is discovered. Understandably, Elaine runs back to college. Benjamin follows her to school determined not to let her get away and ultimately disrupted her wedding. In the end, Elaine runs off with Benjamin uncertain about her pre-determined destination. “The Graduate” cannot possibly begin to unravel the several very complex themes that run throughout the film. The coming of age story as the film attempted to relay a message of innocent being push in an unwanted direction through a society filled with expectations. It focuses on the development and the maturing of the young college graduate and his journey from child to adult as well as sex and relationship. It captures what it is to be young, restless, skeptical and confused. It is reflective of a time when...
