Education TBC

There are a number of language immersion programs available for students to learn a foreign language by studying 8 hours a day and living with a host family in a foreign country to continue speaking the host’s language. The program usually lasts for a number of weeks and the student is only allowed to communicate in the language such as Spanish if the student is in Mexico, Spain or any Latin American country where Spanish is spoken and the immersion educational experience is offered.

Duolingual Education is a methodology for service abroad opportunities that combines a student’s immersion experience in a foreign country for a four-month period. A volunteer travels to a host country and teaches children English in a classroom situation but also teaches other activities such as celebrate a birthday, play games, sing songs, act out stories or participate in creative expression and all the while, volunteer teacher and students speak English. Volunteer teachers go to countries such as China, Russia, the Ukraine and Mexico. They live either in a dorm or apartment or with a host family. During their stay, they are immersed in the culture and learn how to speak the language of the host country. In a sense, the teacher volunteer and the children go about teaching each other their native language while interacting together in a classroom situation.

The volunteer does not need to know the language of the host country so the experience will be learned from the very ground up learning from hosts and students and exchanging by teaching host and students English. The volunteer is not paid for their services, but must pay a fee which includes air fare, visa, housing, food, language and cultural classes, pre-departure training, on-site training, and on-site supervision. The volunteer can either pay or raise funds through personally raised contributions. It is highly recommended that extra money is taken to the country for extra expenses.

This is a perfect program for young people and married couples are encouraged to travel and experience Duolingual Education together. There is no age limit but the program seems to attract college students and young professionals who are looking for an adventure in another country while helping to teach children English.

The institution for this program is a non-profit organization with no affiliation with universities or religious organizations. If students need credits, they must make arrangements in advance with their school.

Continuing education for pharmacy technicians is probably more crucial than almost every other profession. Because advances in the pharmaceutical field are constantly changing, there are things that used to be true that are no longer relevant and new information is released all of the time. The highest professional and academic credentials are required to be a pharmacy tech, but the growth of knowledge and education is never complete, for this reason. A new discovery that is made today might make previous discoveries outdated, even if it is something that isn’t that old. Continuing education in healthcare and specifically, pharmaceutical training is dependent on keeping up with the latest information, even after attaining certification as a pharmacy technician.

There are 8 organizations that offer continuing education programs for pharmacy techs, which are discussed below:

The primary concern is to get all of the information you need to practice current practical skills and keep up with emerging trends and the knowledge you need to know. The continuing education credits are a means to ensure you maintain your certification and that you are the most up-to-date in the pharmaceutical field, but the ultimate goal is that you learn information that you can put into practice.

We were recently introduced to Max Steingarts Endless Leads 4.0 Training Course by a leading internet and network marketing expert. While many are buying mlm leads or using expensive paid ads campaigns, Facebook and other social media make it easy to generate cheap mlm leads. Max’s method is refreshing, in that many online marketers and network marketers show few online “manners” and seem to have no clue about “relationship” selling. This article provides a review of what Max has to offer and its effectiveness vs. Tim Sales popular Professional Inviter training.

Max, as many know, bills himself as the Father of Social Media, due to the fact that he began using his current technique in the days of America Online. Max teaches basic skills he learned and perfected from such timeless classics as “How to Make Friends and Influence People,” first in the AOL environment and recently in social media such as Facebook and MySpace. Simply put, Maxs advice is to never expose or offer your network marketing business before a relationship exists. The focus is not on making a sale; rather if there is a sale that could be made. This is exactly parallel to what is taught in Tim Sales’ Professional Inviter to first find a prospect’s “need, want or desire” before making a “sales approach.”

So what about Maxs content? An understandable contrast is to primary mlm sales trainer Tim Sales, which makes the assessment fascinating. Though both are in network marketing, Tim has a much larger following and name recognition. After all, hes the creator of the very popular Brilliant Compensation video which makes the case for the viability of the network marketing industry. Robert Kiyosaki’s recent endorsement of the network marketing model is one of the only comparable works.

What is special about Max? On the surface, his training seems much more simplistic than the more academic approach used by Tim Sales. Perhaps this is more what is needed for true duplication of effort. In either case, specific methods, scripts, and approaches must be tailored on a case by case basis. We do think that the Max Method does truly reduce the amount of rejection encountered in the process. In Tims approach, the network marketing, or pyramid objection is addressed up front, which may actually raise it in cases where in may not have been present.

Another difference is that Maxs course is online vs. a CD set and has more extensive videos, which seem almost to be limitless. The sheer quantity of material has its advantages, although its easy to get bogged down, too!

Our favorite feature is the daily Ask Max sessions, which provide both a high repetition factor and an affordable “group” mentoring in real time. We dont know how long Max will be able to keep up this incredible pace, but we highly endorse his training for anyone that wants to learn from the innovative Father of Social Media, todays best strategies for generating cheap mlm leads. We also recommend Tim Sales training, but short of moving to Tampa and joining his team, he is much less accessible as a mentor.

If you are in school, just graduated, or have been out of school for less than three years, your education information should be at the top. After three years, it needs to go on the bottom. And the longer you are out of school, the shorter your education section should become. If for some reason in the three plus years you have been out of school, you have not accumulated a lot of impressive work experience to outshine your educational background, you may consider keeping your education section at the top for a couple more years; but it would be more prudent, of course, to consider garnering more work experience to strengthen the overall effect of your resume. After you’ve been out of school for ten years, no one is going to care about what you did in college.

It’s important for students and recent graduates to place their educational experience at the top because recruiters and employers are going to want to know where you are coming from and what you know. If you are still in school or just out of college, they are going to want to know that up front and, accordingly, what you can contribute. In most cases, obviously, students and recent graduates don’t have a lot of experience yet, and their education is their trump card.

Just be mindful of what specifications are involved in the types of jobs for which you apply. If there is one skill you gained, specific course you took, or training you undertook during school that is relevant to your search, definitely add that to your education section.

Tips

Resume Length
If you are a recent graduate, your resume should not exceed one page. Period. You might consider two pages if you did a dozen internships throughout school at a broad range of employment venues and did a vast array of career-specific duties other than filing, answering phones, and buying birthday gifts at Barnes and Noble. Even if this is true, you should then consider editing your resume per search and only include relevant duties done. Besides that, even professionals with more than 20 years of experience should consider one-page resumes, since the hiring world is more demanding and fast-paced these days. Of course, every recruiter or employer is different personality-wise and works under different professional and personal conditions from day to day, but if he or she has a stack of resumes to skim in a short period of time, your one-page resume will more than likely be better appreciated.

What to Include in Your Education Section
Universities, community colleges, and trade schools
Cities and States of each school
Date of graduation actual or anticipated. Writing both the month and the year is preferred, but year alone is acceptable (just consider consistency regarding how you approach dating your work experience and other details throughout the resume)
Degree(s) earnedmajors are a must; minors can be included if relevant or spacing permits (if you graduated cum laude, place that between the degree and date). Degrees can be spelled out or abbreviated (but be consistent).
GPA
Honors programs and awards
Certificates earned
University papers or journals: participation and/or publication
Organizations
Fraternities or sororities
Related coursework or senior projects
Special training, workshops, and seminars
Example:
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA B.A. in Humanities, May 2007
GPA: 3.7
Dean’s List, Spring 2005; Fall 2006
Member: Humanities Honors Society, Spring 2004-Spring 2007
Participant: Literary Debate League, Fall 2004
Dates
List the months and the years; days are not necessary. Writing “Jun. 2007-Dec. 2007” is specific, concise, honest, and won’t raise any red flags to an employer. Writing “2007-2007” looks strange and doesn’t really mean anything. If you worked at one job from “2006-2007” and the current one from “2007-Present,” you can get away with that, but keep in mind that the persnickety employer will wonder if you quit your last job in January of 2007, went to the Bahamas for two seasons, and started your new job in September.

GPA
The GPA should come first in a list of achievements under the school information.
Only list your GPA if you are a student or recent graduate. The longer you have been out of school and accumulating work experience, the more you should be offering up space from your Education section to your Experience section. Same applies with all other honorable mentions under your list of schools.
Only list your GPA if it’s 3.0 or higher.
Only list your GPA if it’s going to be obvious to the employerif your school did not use the standard scale, consider carefully how you will present it otherwise.
If your GPA is not high enough and the employer requests it, you’ll have to bite the proverbial bullet and spit it on there. Not doing so, of course, will have worse consequences like indicating to the employer that you are hiding something or don’t pay attention to directions.
Academic Honors
Again, definitely include this information if you are a student or recent graduate. List awards or honors programs in bullets underneath the school information. Mention “cum laude” honors after your degree/major.

Lacking Educational Credentials
If you don’t have the degree required by the position to which you are applying but have relevant ongoing training, create a “Professional Development” section above Education and list any seminars, classes, and conferences in which you participated.

Abandoned Program
Only mention that you started a program at certain school if the study is applicable to your current chosen career. For example, if you started studying health law and decided to earn a degree in medicine and want to put that in your resume, then you would write the school, city, and dates on one line and a bullet underneath with mention of your studies (i.e.”Studies included Health Law”).

Community College
Only mention community colleges if:
You are currently enrolled there
You earned an AA and are not seeking higher degrees
You studied something relevant to the job you are seeking
High School
Never add your high school to your resume even if you are still earning your BA. No one cares. Everyone will assume you graduated if you are going to college. If you really want to emphasize that you once were the reigning Dungeon Master at your High School’s well-reputed D&D Society, you should just create an Interests section for your resume at the very bottom and add “Role Playing Games” to it. There are only three instances where it’s okay to place your High School on a resume:
You are still in High School
You have a High School diploma and have no intention of ever enrolling in college or some sort of trade school.
You are 100% certain that the person to whom you are sending your resume will be absolutely thrilled to discover that you are were once a student there.

In today’s fast moving time the most important things in business is being in the business trend. As it’s necessary for keep an eye on latest technology, for that reason training and studying new stuff in the business world is actually essential.

The idea of “Investment in human potential” arises often in media, all are talking about it and virtually all believe this is one of the basic areas that an employer should provide to his staff.

Declarative, almost all organisations know the need for learning and really, how often can that actually happen? How proudly looks the actual declaration “continuous studying ensures individual and social improvement therefore the economic prosperity”? Especially if you work in a business where you have not got even 1 hour to train in the last yr.

The commonest reasons behind NOT educating staff happen when;
– The Company accomplishes its own evaluation advantage using affordable prices. Training employees for such companies is costly.
– There’s an growing rise in assistance industries.

Let us check the specific situation with the tourism industry, for example. Employers associated with the the tourism industry sectors are usually in the quest for lots of employees as they require at a certain time, and thus their own interest will be to spend them much less, therefore nor they educate or will they take trained employees.

Why is continuing education essential to anyone?
Because of a person and the company you work for. If you’re not happy with the workplace, the most typical reason is insufficient inspiration, insufficient flexibility of choice-making at work along with a perception that you simply will no longer grow in the industry sense, yet stagnating. When this happens, the one thing that’s keeping you on the job will be the continuity of salary.

These days every operating individual has an chance to continue the education without needing to leave the work or take a trip each day to college. Nearly all colleges provide their students learning as a possible possibility to lengthen their own education or perhaps better their knowledge.

The desire for any additional training is going to be confirmation of the boss that you are inspired and also dedicated worker. Seeing that employers’ survey reveals, that is exactly what you should want for!
If you decide on a new career, here are a few of the actual strong advantages of choosing a business which spends heavily for personnel learning:
– If you’re younger, formal education hasn’t prepared you for that work you do. You require more training in becoming more effective and much better on the job, to achieve your own complete potential and have the pleasure of achievement.
– In case you have plenty of years of experience, all your learning gives you a chance to stay very competitive inside labor market, boost your “value” and offers the possibility of scaling the organization hierarchy.
