...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 the job. • Do not include work...

Example: If 100 men were interviewed for a job and 20 were hired, according to the 4/5ths rule how many women must be hired if 75 were interviewed? 20/100 men were hired for a selection rate of 20%.

...setting. They expect their employees to reach sales goals in set periods of time which causes stress amongst the ranks. Each department in a store is accountable to one or more managers, those managers have a floor manager and so on. Although it is tough to work for Macy’s, the goals they set have allowed them to thrive in the competitive department store world. There are three levels to the makeup of a company. Each level has many independent variables; we will be focusing on one for each level. The first level is the individuals with their skills and abilities. By using a questionnaire and sales results, we found how employees use their skills and abilities to meet their day-to-day goals. The next level is group processes. At Macy’s, departments are expected to meet goals from all their employees together. The independent variable that we chose to analyze is group characteristics. This also uses the questionnaire and sales results used for the individuals. The last independent variable that will be discussed is the organizational goals. When employees meet their goals, this allows the group to perform well and the whole store is better off. Each store competes to help Macy’s be a great organization. In our analyses we found that workers at Macy’s are stressed to meet their goals. This stress factor causes the employees to push themselves to reach their goals, but is also a large factor for why some quit. We also found that there needs to be more training in the workplace...

Further analysis of these ratios will allow identification of the industries being affected by turnover, the reasons behind this, overall costs of the turnover, and detailed recommendations to reduce these activities by developing creative staffing models that will induce and promote retention. Problem Every organization is built on a foundation of the jobs within the organization and the people that perform those jobs.

It is also vital that an understanding of the costs associated with turnover is also well known. Topical Area Turnover rates and...

Part Two: National Differences in Political Economy; Differences in Culture; Ethics in International Business Nike: The Sweatshop Debate 1. Should Nike be held responsible for working conditions in foreign factories that it does not own, but where subcontractors make products for Nike? Answer: Most students will probably agree that Nike should be held responsible for the working conditions in foreign factories where subcontractors make products the company sells. Students taking this perspective are likely to argue that since the workers are there to produce the products for Nike, the fact that the company does not actually own the facilities is immaterial – Nike is the beneficiary of the work done in the factory. Some students may suggest that Nike be resolved of some responsibility if the factories also produce products for other companies. 2. What labor standards regarding safety, working conditions, overtime, and the like, should Nike hold foreign factories to: those prevailing in that country or those prevailing in the United States? Answer: The question of whether of whether to hold foreign factories to the same standards as domestic factories is difficult. Some students might argue that Nike should require all factories regardless of their location to maintain the same standards when it comes to working conditions, overtime, and so on. Other students however, may suggest that...
