This is a question designed to allow an employer to understand what you know about the wider profession. In addition, it helps them to see whether you are excited by the opportunity of working in a particular career or whether you are simply applying for any/every job available. This question is commonly asked within job interviews when recruiting for junior or entry-level positions. If you have minimal experience to discuss, the interviewer needs to understand why you want to work in that specific career and what awareness you have of the career opportunities available....

Questions about your ideal work environment are particularly difficult to answer because you will automatically try to say what you think they want to hear. But that’s not always the best approach. Interviewers ask this question because cultural fit is essential for both employee and employer. In two different surveys, results showed that 88% of recruiters said environmental fit is important when assessing candidates, and 73% of participants resigned from their jobs because they felt the environment was not the right fit for them....

Wow, to the untrained eye, that looks exactly the same as the old I-Pace. Look a bit closer though, and you’ll see some tasteful styling updates. For starters, the lower fascia and lower door trim is now body-color for a sleeker appearance, as it should be. Black bezels and window trims are now standard from the R-Dynamic SE trim up, while the false grille ditches internal combustion pretensions in favor of an honest shade of gray....

Now that is a surprise. This might be the only time a Porsche has lost anything to a Fiero. Perhaps if the 928’s running status were known, the outcome may have been different. Oh well. Anyway, for Fridays, I still like to do something a little special, and I got today’s idea (well, half of it) while listening to an old album by The Refreshments at my day job: why not look for cars in Mexico?...

The ease of an auto-response message means that you can easily let co-workers know when you are likely to return. It also means that if their message is urgent, you can direct them to someone who can answer their inquiry. Out-of-office messages are now so common that unless an auto-response is received, the sender will assume that you are available to answer their email within working hours. Out-of-office messages are quick and easy to set up (especially if you use software such as Microsoft Outlook), and you can even set up pre-determined timings so that your auto-response starts and finishes on specific dates or times....

Wow, close one! But Ziggy says there’s a 51% chance you’re supposed to take the Quantum leap, so we’ll call that the winner. And I do apologize for wrongly invoking the name of Carroll Shelby; I trusted the seller, and I should have checked. In my defense, it’s just me writing these in the evenings between walking the dogs and fixing dinner; it’s not like I have a team of researchers at my disposal or anything....

P&G’s training programmes – applications to which are covered in this article – are tailored to individual employees, with a ‘70/20/10’ approach to learning:...

Ransomware Attacks: How Much May It Cost? The ransom demanded from individuals varies greatly; frequently the amount is around $200-400 dollars required to be paid in virtual currency, through non-traceable payment methods (such as Bitcoin). Private users, however, have become an increasingly low priority target for cybercriminals in recent years. As to the losses for businesses, they can be much more tangible.

Well, that’s the long and the short of it. And for what it’s worth, I agree; I still dig the Mini, but if it’s between this Mini and this Maxima, then for me the name is Nissan. I already have one cantankerous British hatchback to deal with; I don’t need another. (Yes, I know this one is technically German. That doesn’t make it better.) Today, our choices may have some younger readers scurrying off on a Google search to learn just what the hell they are....

However, making a well-informed, suitable investment can mean the difference between complete reliance on your pension to support your future or financial independence and the ability to retire early. Investing is the process of generating income, and possibly increasing the value of held assets, over a period of time. It involves an initial outlay, generally financial, with the goal to earn extra income. When the word ‘investment’ is mentioned, you may think of stocks and shares, but an investment can equally be property, bonds or even your business....
