HAPPY BIRTHDAY SYLVIA/ASHLEY

I would like to take a short moment to say a Happy Birthday to Sylvia
Fantastic Fifteen, right ;D

You may have to go onto Deviantart to look at it: http://xrai222.deviantart.com/art/Happy-Birthday-to-Sylvia-165645179

For my friend for E.Studies...

What is the business name, type, structure, size and Location?

Name: Whitcoulls
Location: The Strand Whakatane
They specify in selling books and are also stationary retailers.
Employ 3 full time workers, in which work approx. 40 hours per week.
They have 2 part-time workers, and 1 casual worker.
They operate 9 hours Monday-Friday, 7 hours Saturday and 5 hours on Sundays.
Organizational Structure: Store Manager, Senior Sales Assistant, Assistant Manager, 3 Sales Assistants.

How do you advertise for potential employees?

They first state who they wish to employ, e.g., Senior Manager Etc.
They often advertise in newspapers, clarifying what job positions need to be filled.
In the previous years, Whitcoulls had online applications forms, but have since decided to discontinue this. They will have specified to the potential candidates what line of business they are in.

How the business conducts job analysis.

They have the same jobs that the all the other Whitcoulls stores have.

What is the offer and acceptance process?

Whitcoulls sends out letters to the preferred candidate. They do not offer trials, unless it is stated in the contract, how much time they are to work. Some employees work over a limited time, such as in holidays i.e., over Christmas, Easter.


How does the business determine the person specification necessary for the position?

The employer prefers people who have experience. They also talk to the potential candidate over the phone. This is to see if they have the correct manners/phone etiquette, and good communication skills. After they have narrowed the applicant count, they call the potential employee (after checking C.V) for an interview. The manager says that she judges the people based on their body-language and confidence.

What is the induction process?

The induction process can last for up to 3 months, while new employees begin to understand their work environment. They are shown where things are, how to operate the till, the company expectations, dress code and other things they will encounter. Also other things that are unique to the business are, for example, how to use rewards vouchers.

Ignore:

For english.

Saving on here for backup:


Juno is a film, directed by Jason Reitman, about a sixteen-year-old pregnant girl, and the ups and down she faces whilst so. I found the character of Juno to be an admirable one, as she is courageous, an idealist and is true to herself which is shown through many effective film techniques.


Juno was admirable as she was a very courageous teenage girl, especially because of the fact that she decided against having an abortion. This was shown through the technique of dialogue and the quote: “…it has fingernails.” When Juno says this, she realises that the baby was a living, developing thing, and she could not bring herself to terminate it. Juno saw deeper than just the fact that she was a pregnant teen and was “screwed” and puts the baby’s life before her own, which I can see as a courageous feat for a pregnant girl her age, which I find admirable.

Juno is also a quirky, true to herself kind of person, which is another admirable trait.
This is shown through the use of costume and props; Juno doesn’t dress like other teens, she prefers to wear whatever is comfortable i.e baggy jeans and a warm sweater; and doesn’t follow the trends. This is an admirable quality as it shows us that she is original, and doesn’t feel the pressure to fit into stereotypical groups, which is difficult for teenagers in today’s society. Juno shows us that you can actually be happy without having to feel the need to be accepted by anyone but yourself, which I find to be an extremely admirable quality.

Well...

Well the part last night was pretty epic.
IT WAS SO FUN!

We played twister.

For like, five minutes ehe.

And and and THERE WAS CAKE!

So yeah. I had a pretty good time.
I wish to thank all my friends who were there for being there! You made it SUCH an awesome night, I will never forget it!

A post of all things random.

Triple Number Syndrome: When you see triple numbers everywhere. Eg: 555 222 111 etc. There is currently no cure for this.

Meme Syndrome: When you get the urge to complete numerous meme's

Procrastination: Something we all do.

Meh: Something we say a lot CUZ WE'RE LAZY. And awesome.

*facepalm* This happens a lot during conversations between the two of us.
*headdesk* See explanation above.
*bricke'd* See above. Can also be substituted with *shoe'd* or *shot*

/fail: When we are trying to move on from our fails.

Ehe...: Awkward laugh

... (dot dot dot) : When we are in our minds are *headdesking*

Emoticon Spamming: When we have nothing else to say on msn.


MORE TO ADD SYLVIA?

So...

So I found my folder in the end.
It was on a shelf on the other side of the room.


A PLACE I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO!


Someone or something is out to get me.




On a good note, all my friends are able to attend my party, and so am I.




Yay.

RANT #2

@#$%^&*()_


The world just LOVES to hate me, doesn't it?
I am currently at schhol, doing my NCEA ICT assignment. Its due in in about 1 minute.

MY FOLDER OF ALL MY STUFF IS GONE.


why God, why?


I don't know where the hell its gone.

FML

Is this Karma out to get me?
Punish me for writing my previous blog post?

My folder SHOULD be in the box.

But alas, it's not.

It is a goner.

Big, fat NA for me.

Great, JUST great.


Thanks world.
Thanks.

RANT

Ok.

My parents are making my life SO FRIKKEN DIFFICULT right now.
Emphasis on the frikken part.

I'm having a party for my sweet 16 on saturday, and I don't care if you say no.
I DON'T CARE

Let me live a little!
Don't be so over-protective of me!

I am a responsible person, I'm not some idiot.

You don't NEED to check on me EVERY. FIVE. MINUTES.

What are you going to do when I'm 18?
Lock me in some kind of tower and throw away the key?

No.

That would be a bad idea.

So please, PLEASE just let me have my 15 minutes of freedom.

And seriously a sixteen year old curfew being 8:30 is actually unheard of.

Until now.

It's actually not fair.

And I know what you're thinking.

"Since when was life ever fair?"

Truth is, it's not,
But this is being REALLY unfair.

I am actually capable of taking care of myself for one night.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?

Well, you do now.

Have fun on saturday night, cuz I fucking am going to.
At my own party.
