Pen Pals

Pen Pals Do you have a pen pal? Have you ever had a pen pal? Probably not. Writing to a an anonymous correspondent used to be a popular hobby. Not anymore. It has fallen out of favour these days as people spend more and more time on social media websites. Perhaps, you don’t even know what a pen pal is and why it became as popular as it did. What is a Pen Pal? A pen pal is a person with whom one exchanges letters on a regular basis. Pen pals usually begin as strangers who live far away in a foreign country, making face-to-face meetings impossible or unlikely. People start exchanging messages with strangers for a range of reasons. The most common reason is to practice reading and writing using a foreign language. As such, people exchange letters to get meaningful practice in a language they are trying to learn or trying not to forget. In the process, correspondents learn about each other’s life and culture, often sharing personal details about themselves. Snail Mail It is worth noting at this point that whereas individuals can keep in touch with each other using email or an instant messaging application, many prefer to use snail-mail. There is something satisfying about seeing your name handwritten on an envelope. Using the postal service makes it possible to trade postcards, photos, stickers, birthday cards, drawings, and collectible stamps through the mail. Nevertheless, there are a number of websites that offer safe, structured, online pen pal exchanges for those who want to correspond with others over the internet. The Benefits of Being a Pen Pal Pen pal writing is beneficial in several ways. Foremost, it allows people to have a different outlook on the world. They can learn how people from different cultures approach questions of housing, schooling, food, exercise, healthcare, technology, travel, and entertainment, among other things. By sharing the ordinary details of their lives with others, correspondents often create long-lasting friendships. Given the fact that pen pals interact with a person they are unlikely to meet, they quickly open up and divulge intimate details about themselves. Not only do pen pals not only create a trusting friendship, but they also promote greater mental health. After all, it is by sharing our secrets that we discover that we are not alone and that all our secrets are basically the same. Furthermore, pen pal writing does away with the prejudices about people from different cultures. It creates a sense of social cohesion across borders and languages, and it creates tolerance through openness and respect. Many pals benefit from creating a written record of their memories, enjoying a chance for deep reflection about their lives, and the opportunity to develop their writing skills in the process. It is an enjoyable writing activity. It is social in nature, unlike other forms of writing such as essay writing or keeping a diary. The Dangers Despite the many benefits of pen pal writing, there can be disappointments and risks. The first one is that it can be frustrating to wait for a response from a correspondent. Some letters take a while before they are delivered, creating a sense of impatience and disappointment. Furthermore, the responses you receive may not always be friendly. In rare cases, a correspondent can take advantage of the anonymity of the exchange and write insulting attacks on certain sexual orientations, cultures, and lifestyles. Personal details revealed by the writer can be shared with other people, which can in turn create security issues. This is particularly true in the contemporary world, in which identity theft and other criminal acts are on the rise. Social insurance numbers, banking information, credit card numbers, and passwords should never be shared with pen pals. Regardless of the need for some caution, pen pal writing is a fun and enjoyable activity. It allows people to interact, learn, and grow.

Case Study How EF Hangzhou found a teacher recruitment service flexible enough to fit their needs

Case Study How EF Hangzhou found a teacher recruitment service flexible enough to fit their needs Background Part of a global school chain operating in over 60 countries, EF Hangzhou is one of the largest regional English First franchises in China. Providing English lessons for kids, teens and adults across nine centers (with two more in the pipeline) is no small feat. At any one time, the centers employ 200 teachers, 100 of whom are international. Although most international teachers sign up with EF Hangzhou for 15-month contracts, and over half extend to two years, International Recruiter James was always on the lookout for promising new candidates for his schools. Teachers can be hired (and leave) at any point during the year, meaning staying on top of staffing in his nine busy centers was a constant challenge. The Challenge EF Hangzhou were looking for teachers with Bachelor’s degrees (essential for Chinese visa requirements), who were English speakers with a 120-hour TEFL certification, or equivalent experience. From experience, James knew their positions and the lifestyle in China typically appealed to teachers in their 20s or 30s without families. Each year, James aimed to get 100 candidates to sign letters of intent to work in his schools. Although this averaged about 10 signed letters of intent per month, in reality, recruitment needs varied with the ebbs and flows of the school year. In quiet months, the school had to be wary of having a surplus of teachers, and in busy months they needed to hire quickly. Their overall goal was to maintain a steady flow of applicants throughout the year to ensure teacher numbers reflected demand for classes. With targets changing month-by-month, James needed a highly flexible recruitment solution and he was always looking for new and innovative ways to source candidates and establish interviews. His existing strategy meant nearly 50% of candidates came through recruitment agencies, and he was left to fill the gaps with teacher referrals and headhunting on social media. While broadly successful, this strategy could also lead to high-stress recruitment periods when EF Hangzhou needed teachers quickly and the recruitment agencies didn’t have any candidates to offer. So when Teach Away reached out to James, he decided to give our platform a try. Our Solution Teach Away provided flexible, fast and large-scale access to applicants that EF Hangzhou needed. After talking to our team, James came away confident that he’d found a company that understood his needs and signed up for a monthly subscription on our platform. Happy with this initial experience, he then decided to try a three-month subscription in spring to boost recruitment before their busy summer period. These flexible teacher recruitment packages were an effective way for James to get his vacancies in front of a large audience during peak hiring periods. “Teach Away is great because it has a large database and talent pool. They are good at marketing vacancies and it’s a convenient way to access a wide scope of teachers, who you can speak to in a relatively quick time frame. As candidates have registered their interest in EF through the job posting, when I reach out they are responsive and I can quickly proceed with an interview.” EF Hangzhou was also happy to find that Teach Away’s solutions were more cost-effective than the agencies they had been using previously. With no per-hire fees and unlimited teacher recruitment services included in each Teach Away subscription, they quickly found that the more teachers they hired through Teach Away, the more money they saved. The Impact Since starting a three-month subscription in March, EF Hangzhou has hired eight teachers through Teach Away and expects to hire two more, fulfilling their recruitment target for the month. “After recruiting through Teach Away for one year, we’ve hired some excellent teachers and really like the service. It’s become one of our main channels for sourcing teachers and finding candidates to interview.” According to James, his experience with Teach Away has been so positive because we are: User-friendly The platform has a clean layout with all the relevant information he needs, allowing him to find candidates quickly. Attentive Our team is communicative, supportive and always looking for new ways to improve his service. Innovative Teach Away is open to finding new solutions to make life easier for their clients, such as online job fairs. As a company that’s always on the lookout for new recruitment solutions, EF Hangzhou has found one they plan to stick with in Teach Away. They have been so pleased with their results they have decided to extend their subscription with us for another three months, and plan to use our platform throughout the coming school year.

Securing Your First Part-Time Job

Securing Your First Part-Time Job Image via pixabay.com Think positive and do not let every failure get to you Going into your job hunt, you should not go into each job application expecting the worst. Everybody with a job has started somewhere they have all been in the position you are currently in. When applying for your first part-time job, a lot of the positions requirements may state that prior experience is needed from applicants. Dont let the prior experience deter you from submitting the job application  because chances are the employer is desperately looking for new hires and more open to varying levels of experience. There are employers that are very specific in the applicants they actually do accept, however. You may seem like the perfect candidate personality-wise, but your lack of prior experience really may end up being the deciding factor in you securing the position. Do not let every no get you down or discourage you from going forward with your job search. Keep your options open, and do not be afraid to say Yes   Dont go into your job hunt being overly specific in the type of work you want. With limited work experience, you have less options when it comes to the type of job opportunities that are open to you. More often than not, the more attainable jobs are the tough ones in the sense that they require more manual labor, like handling food, customer service, cleaning, etc. Do not say no to a job because it isnt your ideal job, but say yes because you do need to build experience, even as unappealing as it may be. The jobs you do say yes to allow you to get the experience needed for your later career. The better rapport you have with your job and employer, the better references you have under your belt for your future job hunt. You cant go into the application for your first part-time job expecting to get your dream job, but you should be going into each application thinking about what you can get out of the job. Make a resume and dont leave it bare   Many people with prior experience nearly set themselves up for failure by failing to create a proper resume when applying for jobs. Even when you dont have actual job experience that will help you in the position you are applying for, experience from other aspects of your life will add to your worth in the eyes of your potential employer. If the only experience you have is through high school, you can include academic achievements, which will show your work ethic that could have been shown through other possible job experience. Alongside academic achievements, include extracurriculars that have given you the skills and qualities that will help you qualify for the job. If you were part of student government  or involved with leadership within a club, you will be able to endorse your leadership and communication skills. Be aware that prior experience isnt always limited to experience gained during a paid position (unpaid if internship); it can be any experience gained during school-related extracurriculars and volunteering/community service. Do not leave references blank on your job application Most job applications will have space for your references and their contact information. If you dont have job experience and previous employers to have as references, you can still use teachers, club advisors, or any professional you have worked with that can endorse your set of skills and qualities. The closer you have worked with a reference and the more time you have spent working alongside or under a reference, the more credibility they will have when it comes to talking you up as an employee to an inquiring potential employee. Come to the interview prepared, and prepare to follow up post-interview If its your first time interviewing for a job, there are countless guides introducing job hunters to the interview process. One of the first things that a potential employee will take in during the interview is your appearance do not come dressed casually in jeans and sandals and expect to ace the interview. Effort can show in a variety of ways in a single interview and your attire is one of the ways that an employer can visually see the effort you put into this job, even if its just for the interview. While you may not have job experience, you will still be able to sell yourself personally and professionally with the skills picked up from other activities, which can make you just as qualified as those with a few part-time jobs under their belt. Do not be afraid to ask questions during the interview; questions show the interviewer that you are genuinely interested in the job and company. When the interview is over, do not hesitate to reach out to the interviewer to send a post-interview thank-you note, showing genuine interest in the job and appreciation for the interviewers time. If you dont get the job, take it as a learning experience; try reaching out to the interviewer for some feedback on your application and interview. Continue with your job search with confidence in the skills and qualities you already have, and best of luck in securing your first part-time job!

Why Social Networking Websites Is More Important Than Search Engines

Why Social Networking Websites Is More Important Than Search EnginesSo, the season's still young, and I can tell you that at this point in time my opinion on the two hottest shows currently are Family Guy and 21 Jump Street. Let me explain why these two programs are so hot right now.The reason why 21 Jump Street is so hot right now is because of the chemistry between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. Yes, that's right. This show had a chemistry problem from the start, but recently that has been rectified.Jonah Hill is an actor who was born with both an acting talent and a singing talent. He has taken the talents he already had and transformed them into something amazing.What I love about him is that he is constantly improving his acting talent, while also learning how to sing and changing his style to match. It's actually surprising how quickly he has gotten to this point.Channing Tatum on the other hand is an actor who never has been pigeonholed into being a super hero. He has a great physique, but he's so versatile that he can easily play anything, even a super hero.He's also been lucky enough to be around some really talented people, who will make any role look easier than it really is. Channing even has a whole acting history built up that I'll be talking about in the future.Now that I have you intrigued, let's talk about the chemistry between Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. They have made a great chemistry in this show, which is a major factor why this show is so hot right now. Just know that I hope it stays that way for a while.21 Jump Street Chemistry - Part 1<|startoftext|> PARACOUNT 4 SENTCOUNT social networking websites ENDPARAMSocial networking websites, or sites like Facebook and Twitter for short, are becoming very popular, even though they were not even a year old when Google first launched their search engine. In fact, many people don't even realize that they have their own website, but all websites are the same in the end: they are all just d istributed networks of data and ideas that connect people.These websites are very different from social network sites where the most popular social media are used to communicate with people, however. For example, using social networking sites to sell products is completely pointless because people will just use Facebook or Twitter to send people to your website instead.Social networking is no different than using search engines to find information. When you go to Google, it's all about finding what you're looking for and finding the best place to get it. People go to Google more for things like online shopping and recipes and their favorite web-based news channels than they do for dating sites and travel sites.With social networking, there is no such thing as a 'best'most popular' place to find information, and everyone finds their place. You might want to try it out and see how well it works for you, but for most people it's not even worth the time or the effort.
