单选题There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is some times placed among "situations vacant", although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among situations wanted, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job. Contact us before writing your application, or make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae(or job history) ,with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right. There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest. Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview. There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at ail points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the great importance of the curriculum vitae.

单选题Many people seem to have the wrong image of schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with many assuming they are predominantly Islamic-based and tend to "cold shoulder the West". This is very much not the case as schools in the UAE are more open, more accessible and offer one of the highest levels of education in the whole world. Despite the fact that the UAE is predominantly connected with oil and other natural resources, many people seem to overlook the fact that the UAE authorities have invested billions upon billions of dollars into the local education system. The area now has some of the latest technology, the latest education facilities with the latest education techniques very prominent across the education system, which continues to attract overseas interest. While in some areas of the UAE education system there has been a battle between the more traditional and the modern politicians in the region, the area has embraced English as a general teaching language. This has proved to be very beneficial not only for those moving to the UAE from the UK for employment but also those bringing families to the area and also requiring education facilities. This has helped many of those expats moving to the region to settle quicker thereby enabling them to concentrate on other areas of their new life. Anybody who is resident in the UAE is eligible for inclusion in any of the state run schools in the region and those who do not fit the residency criteria can pay to attend local education facilities. There are also a number of international schools in the region, an area which is obviously targeted towards the expat market and which continues to grow. However, the education ministry in the UAE plays a very important and a very hands-on role in the area of education as a whole, something which is adding to "life in the UAE". It will come as no surprise to learn that there are various overseas universities prominent in the UAE with the American University opening its doors to Dubai back in 1995. The ongoing success of the American University in Dubai has prompted a whole array of other overseas education facilities to look at branching out into the UAE. The overall level of education in the UAE, both in state run and private education facilities, is excellent and the area has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. Slowly but surely it is becoming more and more apparent that the various rulers of the UAE have invested very wisely in a whole range of different sectors and areas of the region. However, a massive 25% of federal government spending is targeted towards the education sector, something which is continually bringing benefits to the region. When moving to the UAE from any area of the world you will have many things to consider but the very fact that high-quality education is available on your doorstep for your family is very much welcome.
