CANT FIND JOB?? TRY THIS SIMPLE EXPERIENCE

There's a lot you can do to boost your chances of landing your dream job.
-
University graduation has come and gone and despite all the talk of
it being the hottest job market in years for new graduates, you're still
on the sidelines. You've sent out dozens of CVs and submitted countless
applications. Still, nothing.
Panic sets in. You start to think all that study was for nothing.
With little real experience on your resume, what can you do to increase your odds of landing your dream position and to make yourself more attractive to employers?

| For new grads, the job market is better than it has been for years. There are simple ways to improve your odds. |
Treat it like a job
“The best advice is simple, but job seekers rarely follow it,” said Ginger Porter, managing director of the Dallas and Atlanta offices at global communications firm Golin, in an email. “Start every day like it's your work day.”
Don’t lounge around in your PJs all day while binge-watching your favourite shows. Get dressed in the morning with the idea that you have somewhere you need to be: looking for a job.
Start every day like it's your work dayPorter suggests writing a list of every person you know, or can think of in your chosen field. These should be people you can approach who might be able to help with your job search. Ask each one of them for short coffee dates, or even a brief phone chat or email response. Don’t ask for a job.
“Talk to each of them about what you're looking for, and be specific: ‘I'm looking for a position with this kind of employer where I can use my skills in XYZ. Do you have any advice for me?’” said Porter. “People will make the time to give advice, and it’s better than booking their time to ask for a job.”

A Guide to Grading Exams
A Guide to Grading Exams
inShare360
It’s that time of year again. Students have taken their finals, and now it is time to grade them. It is something professors have been looking forward to all semester. Exactness in grading is a well-honed skill, taking considerable expertise and years of practice to master. The purpose of this post is to serve as a guide to young professors about how to perfect their grading skills and as a way for students to learn the mysterious science of how their grades are determined.
Grading begins with the stack of exams, shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1
The
next step is to use the most precise grading method possible. There
never is 100% accuracy in grading essay exams, as subjective elements
can never be eradicated from the process. Numerous methods have been
proposed throughout history, but there is one method that has clearly
been proven superior to the others. See Figure 2 below.
Figure 3
Note
in Figure 3 above that the exams are evenly spread out, enabling
application of the curve. Here, however, is where the experts diverge.
Some contend that the curve ought to be applied as in Figure 4 below,
with the exams at the bottom of the staircase to receive a lower grade
than the ones higher up on the staircase.
Figure 4
According
to this theory, quality is understood as a function of being toward the
top, and thus the best exams clearly are to be found in this position.
Others, however, propose an alternative theory (Figure 5 below).
Figure 5
They
contend that that the exams at the bottom deserve higher grades than
the ones at the top. While many professors still practice the
top-higher-grade approach, the leading authorities
subscribe to the bottom-higher-grade theory, despite its
counterintuitive appearance. The rationale for this view is that the
exams that fall lower on the staircase have more heft and have traveled
farther. The greater distance traveled indicates greater knowledge of
the subject matter. The bottom higher-grade approach is clearly the most
logical and best-justified approach.Even with the grade curve lines established, grading is far from completed. Several exams teeter between levels. The key is to measure the extent of what is referred to as “exam protrusion.” Exams that have small portions extending below the grade line should receive a minus; exams with protrusions above the grade lines receive a plus.
But what about exams that are right in the middle of a line. In Figure 6 below, this exam teeters between the A and B line. Should it receive and A- or a B+?
Figure 6
This
is a difficult question, but I believe it is clearly an A-. The exam is
already bending toward the next stair, and in the bottom-higher-grade
approach, it is leaning toward the A-. Therefore, this student deserves
the A- since momentum is clearly in that direction.Finally, there are some finer points about grading that only true masters have understood. Consider the exam in Figure 7 below. Although it appears on the C stair and seems to be protruding onto the B stair, at first glance, one would think it should receive a grade of C+. But not so. A careful examination reveals that the exam is crumpled. Clearly this is an indication of a sloppy exam performance, and the grade must reflect this fact. The appropriate grade is C-.
Figure 7
One
final example, consider in Figure 8 below the circled exam that is is
very far away from the others at the bottom of the staircase. Is this an
A+?
Figure 8
Novices
would think so, as the exam has separated itself a considerable
distance from the rest of the pack. However, the correct grade for this
exam is a B. The exam has traveled too far away from the pack, and will
lead to extra effort on the part of the grader to retrieve the exam.
Therefore, the exam must be penalized for this obvious flaw.As you can see, grading takes considerable time and effort. But students can be assured that modern grading techniques will produce the most precise and accurate grading possible, assuming professors have achieved mastery of the necessary grading skills.
DISCLAIMER FOR THE GULLIBLE: This post is a joke. Though i think to where im from..ts exactly what tutors do.
