...9 JOBS a) Talk about job opportunities in Slovakia and abroad, compare them b) What are your preferences in the future ? (family, work) c) Talk about retaired people in Slovakia ( living, pension lifestyle, health) About 12 percent of population in Slovakia are unemployed. In some places (for example : Orava, Čadca) it´s 24 percent because there are small companies and these companies offer job for few people. In Orava are the largest companies : Johnson Controls, MTS, Panasonic or Hydac but these companies aren´t big as some companies in some big cities, which means that only some people have job there. People must look for some job abroad. The most popular places for work among slovak people are : the Czech republik, Austria, England and nowadays Norway,too. People have been working in this country for a two weeks and than they go home. A second reason,why people work abroad is, that the work abroad is better paid. They do the same work as in our country, but they have a higher salary. Work abroad has lots of advantages. For example, when you work as au-pair you can know some habits in the family where you work. You can make new friends and when you want to learn some foreign language, the work abroad and live abroad is the best way how to do it. Because you have to use language in this country. Other countries can be more advanced than our country so you can get more work experiences. These countries are often very rich and when you work in this country for...

...People choose careers for many reasons(finacial gail, job satisfaction).What do you think is the best way to choose a career. Use specific reasons and example to support your answer. I know some people who give more thought to what they wear to work each day than they gave to choosing their careers. Personal, I think that career planning is multi-step process that involves learning about yourself, discovering which occupations are suitable for someone with that personality tipe, values, interests and skills. It is very important to have a satisfing job. Job satisfaction has been defined as an affective reaction to one job. So that the happiest people are with their job, the more satisfied they are said to be. For an organization is important that people be efficient. For that they must be motivated.

Job satisfaction is a very important attribute which is frequently measured by organisations. The most common way of measurement is use of rating scales where emloyees report the reactions to their job. Questions relate ray of pay, work responsabilities, variety of tasks and promotional opportunities. Some questions ask yes/no questions while others ask to rate satisfaction...

... Employment of computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 12 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations. ("Computer and Information Technology," 2015). As the job market for IT grows so does the demand for workers. There are many different type of jobs in this industry but the few that stuck out for me are computer programmer, web developer, and software developer. What I am looking to do with a IT degree is to be able to create, so these three career choices are perfect for me.

...In 1985, I took my first job on Capitol Hill working for newly elected Sen. Mitch McConnell. I started in the mailroom, back when most people sent handwritten letters to their senators and some poor staffer had to open and sort them. At 22, I thought I would never get a better or more important job. Thirty years later, I’m again working for McConnell, now as his state director back in Kentucky. But I’ve never forgotten that first job in Washington. Between then and now, I’ve interviewed dozens of 22-year-olds for entry-level positions, all wanting to make their mark. And I’ve learned a few key things that separate the wheat from the chaff. Story Continued Below So you want to get your first job on Capitol Hill? Here’s my advice. Start with whomever you know in D.C. If you think hard enough, you probably know someone who lives in D.C. or is connected to it. It could be a former Hill staffer, a lobbyist or a distant relative. No matter who it is, just go see them. Ask them whom they know — you never know who somebody’s next door neighbor is (like a chief of staff on the Hill looking to hire a new staff assistant). In Washington, personal networking, whether a handshake or lunch, still trumps social networking on Facebook and LinkedIn. Follow up on every lead. Pick a side already. During the course of an interview, I want to know whose team you’re on and why. I would cringe when 22-year-olds told me they wanted to solve the world’s problems, then wondered aloud, “Why can’t...

...Brian Kelly Eng. 100 Teamwork’s Throughout all of high school I was lucky enough to not have to worry about getting a job. I never had a job my whole life. I have tried working at grocery stores before, but that kind of job wasn’t for me. As all of this was going through my head I was nervous about my first job that I had just gotten. I got hired to be a chef at an indoor sports venue in Northborough called Teamwork’s. The drive to teamwork’s is only 5 minutes away from my house so I didn’t have much time to think about what I was getting myself into. I have never cooked anything before and of course they schedule my first night during the Celtics opening game of the season vs. the Miami Heat. Pulling into the parking lot I made sure I was early so that I would make a good first impression. After I clocked in I made my way into the kitchen where I heard loud rap music. There was no one in the French fry smelling kitchen when I first walked in. I was a little confused to why I was hearing Method man and Redman blasting out of the speakers because no one was around. I began to take off my jacket when one of the older employees came out of the freezer with a large box of pizza dough. He introduced himself as Gary and told me that he was going to be training me tonight. It was Six O’clock and the Celtics game started at seven. We had an Hour to pre make pizzas and store them in the freezer. Gary started to show me how to make the pizzas. The dough was the...

The hardware was amazing to learn a about, but the I started to get into the software and programming aspect of it and become a beginner program.

...kpbhs"No one wants to die," Steve Jobs said in his now-famous 2005 commencement address at Stanford. "Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. "And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new." These wise words came out of Jobs just a year after he got up close and personal with the notion of death, upon learning in 2004 he had a rare form of pancreatic cancer. On Wednesday, seven years later, he finally arrived at that "destination we all share." Above all, the loss of Steve Jobs is incredibly sad. But amid the raw, jumbled feelings in these early moments after hearing of his death, the other emotion that keeps surfacing is this sense of utter unfairness. More up his sleeve At 56, Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, had given the world so much more than most people could ever dream - and he surely had so much more up his sleeve. And that is incredibly disappointing to consider. The secret to his success, the key to why his death is being mourned more like a pop star than a CEO and the biggest reason his untimely passing is profoundly unfair, are all the same: His products were polished reflections of an obsession with the customer experience. The consistent imprint across the products he touched over four decades - from the Macintosh, to the string of...

...As being a 21 year old women in Louisiana, with only a high school education there are a rare portion of jobs available for my generation. Mainly opportunities that involve knowing people inside businesses or going to McDonalds and waiting for them to fire and re-hire. I chose the most reliable source of income, waiting tables. You can make ends due being a server. “As Republicans have often argued, a raise would have different implications than If these workers were mostly adults struggling to raise a family, as many Democrats contended.” Not even a generation ago, it was said if you were making minimum wage you were most likely a teenager. Who is to tell if a 20 year old mother or a 20 year old college student was trying to take care of themselves on minimum wage, which happens all the time and everywhere? Sholeh says, MIT has developed a living wage calculator and came up with most American families cannot support themselves on minimum wage. How is someone to ever get caught up if they can never run? I work as a minimum wage worker for my past work life. I have never made more than that. I currently have waited tables for 3+ years. I as well get $2.13 hour, each week is about $20. In some these sources can be reliable and creditable. It is nearly impossible to pay bills and keep up in this generation making minimum wage. I am 21 years old and my bills a month are $956. I have no money to ever save. I don’t see that people can make a living on minimum wage unless rooming...

...Quantavius Thornwell Kimberly Covington English 101 10-15-14 The Diverse Symbolism in “A Raisin in the Sun” Symbolism is a powerful tool. Throughout the play “A Raisin in the Sun” multiple types of symbolism are clearly shown. Lorraine Hansberry did a wonderful job of allowing the different types of symbols to be seen. She used symbols through people and objects to get certain points across. She is smart in her use of symbolism because she is able to get a feeling of the time period in which they are in, from certain objects that represent something else. The use of symbolism is very important and it helps the reader get a more detail sense of the issue, problem, or event that is occurring. The first use of symbolism is the plant in which Mama takes care of. The plant represents many things but the most obvious example is that the plant represents the family. Mama knows if she continues to deep nurture and care for the plant then the plant will survive through the living condition it is in. “Lord, if this little old plant don’t get more sun than it’s been getting it ain’t never going to see spring again.” In this quote, Mama explains that the plant is dying because the sun is not shining on it and no sun is shining on the Younger family either. She never gives up on the plant and puts great hope and care towards it. The way she treats the plant is the same way she treats here family in their fragile and rough living condition they are surviving in. At the end when all...

...Admissions Essay There have been several people with prominent impacts on my life, but why focus only on the people who have influenced me? Let us broaden the scope to include all worldly matter. Then I make no hesitation in stating that my canine companion, Toby, has been my greatest influence. Toby, a vivacious miniature schnauzer, is at a well-ripened age of eleven. He is not the same dog he was when he was younger. He sleeps about 18 hours a day and it is impractical to take a nap on the couch with him, because his snoring is loud enough to be fooled with the reverberation of my dad after a long day of golf. However, just before 5 o’clock in the afternoon, only the gray hairs scattering Toby’s black coat give away his old age. It is around this time every day that Toby begins his racket of letting you know that it is getting “close” to his dinnertime of 6 o’clock. Toby’s daily reminders guide me to take a stand against the common adolescent breakfast fast. They are also a source of accountability in my quest to keep a positive outlook on all things that I encounter in my life. While Toby may be an ordinary dog, he and I share something that I have never had with another human. Toby and I communicate better than any two humans do. To a third party, it seems as though I am carrying on a conversation with a non-responsive dog therefore essentially speaking back and forth to myself. However, I assure you that Toby responds back in his own way. What makes...
