Preparing for a Job Interview: Tips

Some General Job Interview Tips Do not smoke, chew gum, or eat garlic beforehand. Wear suitable interview clothes. Take copies of your CV with you. Arrive on time for your job interview. Any applications handed before the interview begins, are to be filled in as accurately as possible, make sure they match the information in your Cv and Cover Letter. Always greet the interviewer by his/her last name and try to pronounce it correctly. Have a good firm handshake. Look alert and interested. Scan the room once and then keep your eyes on the interviewer. Wait until you are offered a chair before you sit down. Stress your achievements. Always conduct yourself professionally and if something beyond your control occurs, show a sense of humor. Be enthusiastic and show it in your replies and body language. Answer the interview question by more than a simple yes or no but try not to go over the 60 second limit. Avoid at all cost complaining about your curren

Another giant UK ash cloud 'unlikely' in our lifetimes

The UK is unlikely to see another giant volcanic ash cloud in this lifetime, according to a new study. The 2010 cloud cost European businesses more than £2bn and a smaller eruption this spring caused more anxiety. But analysis of a record of such clouds stretching back into prehistory across northern Europe showed big ash clouds of the type seen in 2010 occurred on average only every 56 years. While some ash clouds were witnessed and recorded by writers and artists through history, no such evidence exists from before AD1600. Fortunately, a detailed 7,000 year record is preserved in peat bogs and lake beds in the form of microscopic layers of volcanic material, including ash, called tephra. Now a team of scientists has compiled both the written history and sediment records from the UK, Ireland, Germany, Scandinavia and the Faroe Islands to show just how common these events are. Over the last 1,000 years - when the best records are available - ash has fallen in nor

First test tube baby mother Lesley Brown dies

The woman who gave birth to the world's first test tube baby has died. Lesley Brown, 64, who lived in Whitchurch, Bristol, made history in July 1978 when her daughter Louise was born at Oldham General Hospital. Mrs Brown had been trying for a baby with her husband John for nine years before she became the first woman to give birth following IVF treatment. She died at the Bristol Royal Infirmary on 6 June with her family by her side, it has been announced. She successfully conceived following pioneering treatment by Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards. She leaves behind daughters Louise and Natalie, who were both born following IVF treatment, her stepdaughter Sharon and five grandchildren. Her husband died five years ago. A private funeral service was held in Bristol on Wednesday morning. Louise Brown said: "Mum was a very quiet and private person who ended up in the world spotlight because she wanted

Penalty practice for England

Roy Hodgson intends to step up penalty practice ahead of England's Euro 2012 quarter-final with Italy. England have crashed out of major tournaments on spot-kicks on five occasions in the last 22 years, a run that dates back to that devastating World Cup semi-final defeat to Germany in 1990. Only once during that time have the Three Lions been successful, when they overcame Spain at the last eight stage of Euro 96. Little wonder Hodgson wants his players to get their eye in, even though he is not entirely convinced what good it will do. He said: "We have used the time after training sessions to regularly practice and we'll obviously take it even more seriously now." He added: "You hope one day it will make a big difference. But you can practice penalty shoot-outs until the cows come home, it's really your composure, your confidence, your ability to really block everything out and forget the occasi

uk returns 36 asylum seekers to sri-lanka

The plane touched down despite frantic legal efforts to force it to turn back to the United Kingdom. A judge from the Queen's Bench division of the high court deliberated for more than six hours on an application for a mandatory order to force the aircraft to turn around. The judge reportedly described it as "a momentous decision" but in the end refused the application. The judge said the matter should be referred to the court of appeal. Earlier, another high court judge, Mr Justice Eady, had granted a stay of removal on the basis that he deemed the safety of the individual in question could not be guaranteed. Two leading human rights groups, Human Rights Watch and Freedom from Torture, have called on the British government to call an immediate halt to further removals to Sri Lanka and undertake a serious policy review. Mr Justice Eady cited as his reason for over-ruling the removal order a Human Rights Watch Report documenting the torture of recent ret

36 asylum seekers deported to Sri Lanka

A group of 36 asylum seekers have arrived in Colombo after being deported from Britain on Thursday. The group, which includes 22 Tamils, were amongst those who did not receive a last-minute reprieve after a British judge ruled there was evidence “ill treatment” could occur following the release of a Human Rights Watch report earlier this week. The chartered flight was originally scheduled to remove an estimated 80 people to Sri Lanka,  before around 40 Tamils had their deportation halted in a widely welcomed move. more details http://www.lankasri.com/ta/link-3m4340SdWgb6eEIcQ372.html
