You should make every endeavor, for example, to show that you know something about the structure of the company, including the different lines of products it turns out and the chief business partner it is working with. Respond in a spontaneous manner and let the interviewer know that you are not frightened by new challenges, but are willing to take a crack at anything. Try to look at the situation from the standpoint of the person offering the opportunity of employment. What sort of qualities is he likely to be looking for? Enthusiasm, certainly. So don't leave your application waiting until just before the deadline. Apply early.

Davos is a small Alpine city in eastern Switzerland which began making itself known in the 1990s for hosting the World Economic Forum, an annual gathering of politicians, financiers and academics. Each year, those taking part spend five days there networking and discussing a variety of issues such as the global supply of
oil, world economic growth and environmental problems.
Davos Men share the belief that globalization is both welcome and unstoppable. They would like to see national boundaries vanish so as to facilitate their global operations. Some people say that this international perspective is a minority elitist position not shared by the majority of people. Others, however, argue that endorsing a glo bal outlook does not mean sweeping aside one’s patriotic feelings or erasing one’s national identity. The question, perhap is whether it is possible to strike a balance between bing global and being local.

Can you switch of from the cares of life and relax? Many people today cannot. They feel instead that they are obliged to be on the go all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope with what they see as a shortage of time. Such widespread feelings are in part caused by the large quantity of information that comes pouring in on us. ”all men,” said Aristotle , “by nature desire to know.” But it is no longer possible, as it was in the past, for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual, no matter how smart he is, can only command a fraction of the total knowledge available. It may be argued that it is futile to even attempt to do so. We should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyrant of time.

These clearly reveal the state of chaos into which New Yorkers felt they had been plunged by the toppling of the twin towers. Balancing widespread feelings of shock came the welling up of a strong sense of solidarity with each other in the face of a common enemy. Together with this came a natural desire to take revenge on those responsible. A year later the snapshots reveal a city and a nation thinking back on the fateful events of 9/11 while mourning those who perished in the attacks.。
