20、 most significant ones.6*Sample Mini-presentations:4 工 工 工 1 .Career Development：how to fill a key vacancyWhen it comes to filling a key vacancy,a company will usually follow the same standardprocedure.（开题）It will begin by producing an accurate job description of what it would like the successfulcan
21、didate to d o.（要点 19 词 job description）From this,it can then produce a profile ofthis ideal candidate,which is a list of skills,experience,attributes and so o n.（发展 19 解释）Having produced this profile,the company must then decide on the best recruitmentmethod to capture a candidate with this p ro fil
22、e.（要点 2,关键词 recruitment method）Thismight be an internal advertisement or an external advertisement in a newspaper;on theInternet say,even an agency or perhaps a headhunter.（发展 2,例子）Having decided on the best recruitment method,the advertisements are then placed orthe headhunter contacted and a list
23、of candidates will be then drawn up to be put through thecompanys recruitment processes.（要点 3,关键词 recruitment processes）This might beinterviews,psychometric tests or even hand-writing a n a ly sis.（发展 3,例子）This will thenproduce the ideal candidate for the company.The company will then have to negoti
24、ate terms with this candidate（要点 4,关键词negotiate terms）and,hopefully,this will result in terms which are both affordable for thecompany and attractive enough to get the candidate they w a n t.（发展 4,解释）Even though different companies vary somewhat in their efforts to fill open posts,thesteps mentioned
25、 above are very much the norm rather than the exception in any industry.（结论）B.1 H1 1.Recruitment：the importance of having o good WWell,in my opinion,you should never underestimate the importance of having a good CV（开题）Tb begin with,in the majority of cases,your CV is the employers first impression o
26、f you.（要点 关键词 first impression）Your first chance to impress your potential employer,lefss a y.（发展 1,解释）As you should remember to your advantage,youve got only 30 secondsto leave a positive impression on someone,whether he is a customer or a potential employerBut more than that,your CV also showcases

29、iety of selection techniques,such as analyzingyour handwriting or psychometric tests,a good CV is still the single most important part ofany application.（结论）C.What is important when choosing a new supplier?Prices and discounts.ReputationWell,when it comes to choosing a new supplier,several vital fac
30、tors must be taken into account.To begin with,I think we must consider the price of goods first.We can compare theprices offered by different suppliers and choose the one which is more reasonable.Becauseonly if we get the supply at lower price can we make profits.Of course,it would be evenbetter if
31、the supplier can offer discounts to regular clients.Another point we should also consider is the location of the supplier Wed better chooseone who is not too far away from us.If the supplier is too far away,that will most likelyincrease the cost of transportation.Besides,ifs also very important to c
32、onsider whether the supplier is reliable.We wouldnever choose those who always deliver their goods late or those who cant ensure the qualityof goods.Because late delivery may bring heavy loss to us,and quality is the lifeline of anybusiness.Otherwise we may lose our own clients.So in this aspect,we
33、must not make anyconcessions,and lower prices cannot be a valid mitigating factor.While there are also other considerations in choosing a supplier such as reputation,means of payment,after-sales service,I believe the factors mentioned above are the mostindispensable ones.D.H 36.What is important whe
34、n choosing business premises to rent?Location,L w th o f contractWell,as we all know,many factors must be considered when choosing business premisesto rent,the questions is of course-which ones?From my point of view,we should first take the location into consideration.Somecompanies choose to locate
35、in office blocks downtown;some would like to be near the largestconcentrations of their target customers.It depends largely upon the type of the company inquestion.Companies that provide services must be located within easy access.So theyusually choose those places where there is convenient transpor
36、tation.Another important facet to consider is the size of the premises.Nowadays,more and morelarge companies prefer an open,spacious working floor which allows colleagues tocommunicate and interact freely.Of course,a small company would not rent the whole floorThat will be a waste of space and an un
37、necessary cost burden.Last but not least,the length of contract should not be neglected.A fixed-term contract islegally binding and can only serve to make your situation worse in times of recession.Whenever possible,flexible contract arrangement should be preferred.While there are also other conside
38、rations in choosing business premises,such as rent andfacilities,I believe the factors mentioned above are the most indispensable ones.E.!.Z Career Development：The importance o f acquiring a range o f skillsthroughout your careerWell,as is known to all,it is very important for a person to acquire a
39、range of skills inthe course of his careen The question is of course-why?When he has a range of skills,first of all,he is obviously more competitive than thosewho dont and therefore has better chances of surviving a downturn.TD put it another way,companies are likely to retain highly skilled staff m
40、embers even when mass layoff isinevitable.And thats not the only benefit.A person with a range of skills is more likely to workhis way to the top of the corporate ladder In most companies,whether or not you have theappropriate skills is a relevant criterion for promotion.On the other hand,it will al
41、so be easier for a skilled employee to find a job outside hisown company if he is not satisfied with his present job.In this way,acquiring a variety ofskills in ones career offers more professional mobility.So,when all the benefits are taken into account,no wonder acquisition of skills is takenso se
42、riously nowadays.F.1 H 8.Career Planning：how to assess the career opportunities provided bydifferent types o f companiesWell,when it comes to assessing different career opportunities,several vital factors mustbe taken into account.First of all,the type of company should be taken into consideration.D
43、ifferent types offirms have their own benefits and challenges.In a multinational company.,say,you canlearn international business management and culture,and as an icing on the cake,you mayhave more opportunities to travel abroad.Howevei;English is the working language inmultinationals.You have to be
44、 very good at English to work there.So state-ownedcompanies may better suit some people.Salary should be another important consideration.As everyone knows,multinationalcompanies usually offer higher salaries.But if you have just graduated from college,youshouldnt be too concerned about that.As a new
45、 hand,its more important to gain moreexperience through working rather than earn quick money.After salary,vve should not ignore other financial rewards in the form of fringe benefits.Some companies offer housing allowance,car allowance,childrens education allowance inaddition to salaries.Still other
46、s provide staff with free health club and cafeteria.And hightech firms often supplement salaries with stock options.Although there are also other considerations in assessing different careeropportunities,such as training,location,and good colleagues,I believe the factors mentionedabove are the most
47、indispensable ones.G HI-31.Human Resources:how to select the risht staff for promotionWell,as is known to all,it is very important to select the right staff for promotion.Thequestion is of course-how?For one thing,qualification definitely counts a great deal.A good qualification,especially an advanc
48、ed degree,normally indicates high aptitude and a wide range ofknowledge and skills.Even though vve often hear cliches like But degrees dont meaneverything9,in the real world,qualification actually means a lot.That said,there ARE certain skills and knowledge,or what we call flair,that come onlyfrom l
49、ong-time hands-on experience.So it is only natural that the next thing to considershould be experience.Only by accumulating enough experience can an employee be totallyat ease with his duties.Besides,experience can also tell us about his performance,trackrecord,and leadership potential.Well,last but
50、 not least,personality should also be a factor in any staffing decision.Different positions require different personal qualities.The highest virtues for an engineerengaged in R&D,for instance,would be meticulousness and creativity.Yet for a salesmanager,being energetic and outgoing is much more impo
