A careful analysis of these will help the company define what skills, abilities, and knowledge an employe

34、e must have in order to carry out the job successfully. Often it is the process of writing the job description and vacancy announcement that helps the company define the qualities they seek in a new employee. Once the requirements of the position are defined, the next challenge is to find the person

35、 who can meet those requirements. One of the most common ways to locate a qualified person to fill a vacant position is to look within the organization itself. Is anyone currently working for the company who could do the job? This is often the best way to find qualified people. They are already know

36、n to the company, have been successful in it, and are familiar with its people, procedures, and policies. If there is no available person within the company who is qualified to fill the vacancy, then someone must be sought outside the organization. Some of the most common sources of new employees ar

The agreement with Skyways, Air One, and Travelers International will provide communications between aircraft and

Instead of doling out punishment for incomplete assignments, or assigning extra hours of tutoring for bad grades, the academy provides failing students with a reward. Throu

44、gh the Computers for Success program, San Juan Academy students who fall behind their classmates in reading and mathematics are given their own computers.

Is this a prize for being bad in school? “It may look that way to an outsider,“ says school principal Edna Seymour, “but this approach is actually well-backed up by research.

46、 The figures rise for students who actually have a computer at home, and are even higher for students from homes where most of the family members are comfortable using a computer.“ Because of this, when a student is given a computer to take home, families are encouraged to get into the act, too. Stu

47、dents in the Computers for Success program are required, together with their parents and siblings, to attend a weekend computer seminar. This way everyone in the family becomes familiar with the use of the computer. This is an investment in the students educational future. “It is widely accepted tha

48、t parental involvement makes all the difference in a childs school success,“ says Principal Seymour. “We are extending that idea to involve families in our computer literacy program. As part of that program, we make it possible for families to buy refurbished computers at an affordable price. Many o
