Why You Need a Career Mentor

Posted on by [email protected]_84

 

Mentors are an important resource for success on the job. Finding one can be a task, positioning you to be selected as a mentee is another. Here are some helpful tips.

Mentoring used to be an informal and difficult process. Managers would identify potential success stories. You had to be likeable or someone who reminded the mentor of his or her early years. The golf course or a game of billiards would open opportunities to be groomed. Relationships would develop over cold beers. You guessed it, the “good old boy” network. If you did not hang out you were left out.

Companies today realize the organizational benefit of supporting and developing talent and are establishing formal mentor programs that ensure growth from the bottom to the top lasts from within. Will employees stay longer if they feel like they are being groomed for success? Are you the best option for a new opportunity if your career is being guided by manager, supervisor, coach, or a specialist?

Having a mentor allows access to information that may not otherwise be available to you. Mentors show you the ropes, they lend you a hand, and they provide insight into a world that continues to change as you navigate through it. Mentors provide quality information because more than likely they have made the same mistakes you are asking, so you benefit from the secret weapon. Think about your co-workers, everyone wants to get promoted all at the same time. You better believe if you have a strong mentor and you are following his or her advice you should have an edge. I have seen too many times one position opens and 3 employees want that new title. Read below for tips on why you need a career mentor.

Motivation – A good mentor has the rare ability to explain to you what you need to do and why, in a way that makes sense. An encounter with a mentor often becomes a turning point in your career or business.

Success – A mentor who shares their experience with you helps you to avoid mistakes that you would otherwise make. Achieving success faster and with less effort, would you consider that to be efficient and effective?

Honesty – A mentor is a person who is not emotionally involved in your situation, your friends, family, barber, or hairstylist love to give advice. These people either, do not know, are emotional involved, or tell you exactly what you want to here. A mentor’s advice should be free and straight to the point.

Positive Attitude – When “Murphy’s Law” kicks in to your life a good mentor knows you are bleeding internally, but they have a plan to get you patched up, in a step by step approach. Mentors always have a story to make you feel good and to give the necessary encouragement to move forward.

Improvement – Your mentor will expect some improve. You should expect to grow with knowledge. Mentors will advise homework, such …

Things You Should Know About English Schools

Posted on by [email protected]_84

An English School refers to a school or institution where English is the ‘primary medium of imparting education’ to students in all subjects; this may also be the case where English is not the first language or the ‘mother tongue’ of the students.

A thorough knowledge of the English language is extremely valuable and useful for communication at a global level; since many countries have mandated that the English language is used as the normal education medium.

The spread of English around the world is associated with the rise of the British Empire. From its original homeland in the lowlands of Scotland to the rest or Ireland and Great Britain, the use of the English language spread far and wide increasing the cultural and economic influences of countries especially since the times of the World Wars.

Once English left the shores of the British Isles, it travelled quickly to the Commonwealth Countries such as Canada, Australia and large parts of Asia where the British Empire extended to.

Under Section 92 of the Canadian Constitution, education is a matter under provincial control. Large parts of Canada were occupied by French-speaking Europeans. During the 19th and 20th century, the English-only education laws culinated in the Manitoba Schools Question 1896 and Ontario Regulation 17 in 1912, which were strident against French and other European minority languages. Canada adopted official bilingualism in 1969 where English and French found their places, but for most part English remains the predominant language of education.

The Parliament of England passed the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542 annexing Wales as part of the English Kingdom; These laws are collectively referred to as ‘Acts of Union’.

In Ireland, the ‘Royal Schools’ proclamation by James I in 1608 was done with the intent of setting up on free school in every country for educating the youth in learning and religion.

Between 1494 and 1698 the Scots Parliament passed nearly ten acts to legislate and establish English among the aristocracy first and spread it down to all ranks of people.

The Charter Act of 1813 decreed that English as a language would be included in the Indian education system for students to learn although strictly not enforcing it as a replacement for existing indigenous languages. It was anticipated that English would continue to exist with other studies to reinforce moral laws and ethical values.

Colonial education

In South Africa, the Dutch Reformed Church Elders established the earliest European schools in the late 17th century in the Cape Colony to minister biblical instruction as a necessary requisite for church confirmations. Basic literacy abilities and math skills were taught in rural areas but by 1799, British mission schools had propagated with the arrival of the early delegation of the London Missionary Society.

Elsewhere, with the spread of English as the dominant language for learning and working, orthodox believers and fanatic opposers of the language fostered trouble by resisting the use of English in schools and teaching places; however, by the turn of the 21st …

Exciting Teaching Tools of Tomorrow

Posted on by [email protected]_84

School teachers always wanted to discover ways to connect with their students more effectively for a better learning experience. Thanks to such tools as ClassDojo, teachers can now easily have their students focused in class in no time (rather than spend precious minutes trying to manage students’ behavior).

ClassDojo likewise provides students with data on their own behavior, making them less disorderly, leading to a more conducive learning environment. Parents benefit from ClassDojo, too. Teachers can easily access every child’s classroom information and show them to the parents and make them engaged in their children’s development.

Three Ring is another techie tool for teachers who want to organize their students’ data digitally. This app allows teachers to upload student works from your smartphones or laptops directly to your own online stream.

You can use it during instruction inside the classroom, for planning lessons that are needed or will be enjoyed by the students, and for easily assessing the works of each of your students. Students can also see their progress through time through the uploaded pictures in the teachers’ stream. This can encourage them to do better in class.

Years of research on early cognitive development has paved way for new tools that will help children develop their cognitive skills. Scientific Learning®’s Fast ForWord Program strengthens children’s cognitive skills, helping them improve their reading-related skills such as comprehension, phonological and phonemic awareness, vocabulary, syntax, and grammar, among others.

Fast ForWord also offers English language learning where children can improve on their English literacy rapidly. The program is also consistent in the use of brain exercises for better retention and faster improvement on the use of English language, no matter what your first language may be.

More and more grade school teachers are also excited about custom-designed curriculums which allow the use of apps and devices such as iPads. Elementary schools in several parts of the United States have participated in piloting this kind of programs. For example, students of Jessieville Elementary School in Arkansas used storybook apps for their language arts and science activities. Likewise, students from Van Meter Elementary School managed to create their own ebooks by using several apps and software such as FlipSnack, Evernote, Skitch, and Mackin VIA.

Teachers believe that technology should be used to make education and learning more fun and interesting for children who are exposed to the internet, video games, and devices (such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets) early in their lives.…

International Student Medical Insurance

Posted on by [email protected]_84

Students are very mobile these days. There are so many specialized subjects, and expensive facilities needed to share them, that studying abroad is very common. The universities encourage this migration of students by many attractive schemes to enrich academic diversity.

Most foreign students study in America on a shoestring budget or with a scholarship. With the escalating cost of medical care, student insurance becomes quite imperative. Very few will be able to afford the unexpected expenses if they are not supported by adequate medical coverage. Many states require by law that foreign students be covered under medical insurance. Some states set even the minimum amount that should be available to the student for medical treatment, emergency evacuation and repatriation of remains. For example, in California the values ​​are $ 50,000 for illness and $ 7,500 for repatriation. Waivers are allowed only when the US Government or other foreign government sponsors students who health insurance exemptions that of the University's standard.

The cost of international student medical insurance is in the range of $ 600 -700 per annual. Most of the universities sponsoring students subsidize the cost of insurance coverage to the students with cheap medical care through Gannett. Universities fund Gannett up to 60% of the costs. Only 40% is charged to the insurance companies. Students who are also teaching and doing research work are assisted by the University in meeting their insurance costs.

Besides the regular students, visiting schools are also required by visa requirements to have themselves covered by appropriate medical insurance plans. A short-term cost is in the range of 100-200 dollars. By US visa requirements, any dependents accompanying the students also need to be insured towards medical costs. …

University Student Retention Surveys

Posted on by [email protected]_84

There are many different types of surveys in the academe ranging from student surveys to those that look into teachers' performance. The latter type may not be the most frequently conducted, but they can always prove to be useful both for school administrators and the study in the following ways:

1. Just like a teacher grading a student, a student can also grade a teacher in terms of performance. There are times when a teacher can be subject when dealing with students. A survey that looks into faculty members' conduct of their classes and themselves as teachers can help them improve their classroom strategies and methods. These surveys can also bring to the fore the teachers' strengths and weaknesses. This allows the school to take appropriate action both for outstanding teachers and those who perform poorly.

2. Teacher assessment surveys allow students to voice out their suggestions, comments or simple concerns about their teachers. Again, this will help school administrators evaluate the capacity of the faculty members they have hired.

3. Surveys that delve into teachers' performance can be enlightening for them as they are inspired to deal better with their students upon knowing the ways they can improve.

4. This survey gives a feedback to teachers' superiors to see if there is sufficient basis for some faculty members to be promoted to a higher position in the academy. If the teacher is found to lack knowledge or mastery of his subject, the superior can then decide if this faculty member should continue to teach or be asked to work on perfecting his teaching skills.

5. This type of survey is essential to the performance of students as well because it will determine whether or not teachers are treating their students right. If a teacher is very negative towards students, this can affect the latter's performance because the environment can become too unfriendly for them and they may only feel pressured to perform better in class.

Student satisfaction surveys are especially important to the faculty supervisors or the students themselves and will prove useful to everyone in this academic set-up so they can all improve in the areas where they may lack competency. If there are no surveys like this, students will have a difficult time addressing their concerns about teachers without risking catching anyone's ire. These surveys are good in the sense that they allow students to voice out their opinions without fear of being castigated for their honesty. …

Indubitably, this comprehensive selecting process varies from person to person depending on the candidates previous background, his favorite area of specialization, reputation of the university,duration of his desired course,expenditure,the location of the university and so on.

Career in Banking Jobs

Posted on by [email protected]_84

The banking industry has passed through a volatile period and even though it has seen its share of hard times, banking jobs are expected to grow over the next decade. Many of these jobs are for administrative staff and support. In fact, nearly 64 percent of banking jobs are of this type. These areas are where the largest opportunity for jobs will be found as they have a high turn over rate.

Management positions are commonly filled from within the company by promoting highly skilled personnel and these jobs are more competitive to obtain. These jobs require sufficient education such as an MBA. There are also specialized jobs within the banking industry and these require additional training and certificates. For example, those who wish to pursue a career in mortgage lending might want to take the Certified Mortgage Banker program available through the Mortgage Bankers Association. Someone seeking employment selling securities needs to hold a license from the National Association of Securities Dealers.

When competing for top level banking jobs, proper training and credentials is important. Of equal importance is the type and amount of experience in the industry as most senior level jobs are filled by promotions from within. A willingness to start at the bottom and work your way up is a good attitude to have when it comes to these jobs.

Banks deal in all kinds of transactions and it takes all kinds of skilled personnel to handle them properly. In addition to support staff, management staff, and mortgage lenders, banks also need auditors, accountants, computer specialists, and even legal personnel. Banking jobs also require an ability to deal with the public in a friendly and helpful way and an attention to detail and numbers. Advantages to banking careers are the pleasant working conditions and hours as well as the opportunity to have holidays and weekends off in most branch locations. …

Work and Life: A Winning Combination for A Successful Career

Posted on by [email protected]_84

With all the talk about work-life conflict, you would have thought that having a personal life detracts from your professional life. My experience, especially over a 20 year career in the corporate world of international finance, has been exactly the opposite.

Thanks to the family and staying active in sports (running, health club, cycling and tennis), I was saved from burn-out. Having interests outside of work is what keeps you grounded and gives you perspective, as well as patience. Have you ever noticed that it's when you've completely worn yourself out at work that you're prone to "blowing a fuse"? It's the personal life that gives you the motivation, encouragement, and the balance you need to excel in business.

Skill Switch
My first exposure to women's networks was in 2009 when I was asked to give a talk at the launch of the women's network at the bank I was working for, sharing a platform with the CEO. "Why me, I asked? I do not even know what a women's network is." The reply: "We want to know how you did it."

Before that moment, I honestly never thought about it. Preparing for that speech cave me a wonderful opportunity to reflect. What I realized I had been doing all those years, almost subconsciously, was leveraging the skills I was learning in my personal life at work as well as vice versa – leveraging the skills I was learning at home in my professional life.

Communication and Values ​​& Integrity
It was at home that I learned to be really clear as a "team leader." I needed to choose the right words to motivate the childcare provider, the kids, my husband, etc.

At home you can not get away with political correctness or vague terms, especially with children. They take each word literally. And worse yet, they watch you like a hawk! What you do is equally as important as what you say . Did you do something that contradicts what you said? Your kids will be the first ones to call you out on it and they're looking for an opportunity to do just that. Unlike colleges, they're not afraid to tell you when you're wrong. " This was a priceless lesson!

To be a leader in business, your words have to mean something. You have to follow through with what you say. When you do not, you lose all credibility. A leader is a leader whether that's at home or at work. The exact same skill set is required.

Team Work and Delegation
As I progressed in my career, I had to learn to let go of the detail. It was hard. I'm a perfectionist, and I like things done to an incredibly high standard. After many appraisals with the same "area for improvement" highlighted, I knew that unless I learned how to delegate and manage others, I'd be stuck doing the same thing, in the same role for years.

Delegation of course does not mean that the …

Technology As a Hobby

Posted on by [email protected]_84

A hobby is a non profitable human choice of act for passing leisure time. Practising technological facts are very popular and common choice as a hobby. This kind of hobbyist already has a preference and basic knowledge in science and they like to learn more and apply it in making technical things. Technology dependent pastimes are not for everybody for its relative complexity.

Electronics is a hobby for many people and they like to make electronics products by following circuit design. They have an interest in electronics and gain enough knowledge in this field. It is not always mandatory to have an academic education to make electronics products.

Someone can start with some basic knowledge and by practising he may gain lots of practical experiences. Amateur electronics hobbyist likes to make things for their own pleasure but in this process, they may make some good products and make some money out of it. Sometimes this kind of practice may lead to a new invention.

A favourite recreation from the field of mechanical engineering is making vehicles. For the production cost, plane or water vessels are not very popular, but auto mobile is a very accepted form of this recreation. Someone with a keen interest in cars normally wants to make his own car or at least modify it.

The ultimate goal is to make it faster but other modifications like new body designing, lighting, engine performance and sound system are important for the hobbyist. An amateur car enthusiast usually grows his interest in the car from childhood and at a time he wants to modify his own car in his own hands but it requires technical knowledge. Sometimes an amateur with enough practical knowledge may get a job at a professional car manufacturing company. There he can earn a lot of money in the field of his interest.

Almost same as making a car, making radio controlled instruments is a popular hobby for many people. It not only requires mechanical knowledge but also electrical and electronics knowledge. The mechanical part includes the body structure and making it workable. The electronics part for controlling it by wireless instructions and its circuit design. A common example of this kind of hobby is a radio controlled model aero plane. Most of the times, the hobbyist designs the plane by following one of his favourite original models.

Another new hobby, totally based on modern technology, is robotics. This pastime needs a lot of expertise in mechanical and electronics science. But another thing is very important for robotics and that is artificial intelligence. Modern robots don’t just complete the pre determined task, now they are able to make contact with a human. This kind of recreation needs a lot of education and skill.

Programming is a new but fast growing hobby among the young people. Programming and other computer related topics are totally dependent on modern technology. It needs a lot of knowledge about the working process of a computer to write a program. It …
