Succeeding an Interview
Review of Succeeding at interviews by Sunshiine21

Advantages: You just need to look good
Disadvantages: You can't make any mistakes on your CV or Certificates

To succeed an interview first of all you need to know if that job is qualified for you. Are you happy with the job? Or are you being forced to take it? Well you need to be happy with watever you're going to work with Secondly, you need to have the qualifications for the job. You also need to bring all your certificates and datas to show how capable you are with this job and you have to tell the truth about yourself. I have had job interviews ...
...and that was because i made mistakes in ma CV, to get a good job you'll need a good CV that will describe your personality and you need to have references to back you up, someone who knows you and you've worked with them for e.g. Your Teacher or a friend who has their own business. You also need to look good, i mean you can't go on an interview and wear shorts n a large t-shirt. You need to be well presented in trousers and shirts, maybe in black ... Read review

Where's my black pen...?
Review of Writing application forms by dynamicnurse

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...may require for you to fill in the form in a certain way. Also, don't forget to fill it in in black pen as this photocopies better. And remember - CAPITAL LETTERS, as if your writing is like mine when writing in lower case, you can't read half of it. ... Read review

...I am actually writing this in response to some of the comments that I have actually in fact currently received, through writing this review. Certain people have stated that I don not need to include certain things in a CV, however I have quite openly stated (I have even checked this myself by way of reading through my own review), that what I have included in here as advice is what was passed on to me in various mannerss. Therefore, what I pass on ... Read review

Work hard
Review of Member Advice on Home Study by prasadnp

Advantages: A lot of help in self study
Disadvantages: Nothing, absolutely nothing

Man learns till he die. Every second of his life, he is learning. Here is my review on home study. Basically, i don't agree that we should not study hard as many mention in their reviews. You have to work hard and nothing else can replace it. First of all we should make a clear time-table for major activities for the day and night. When you should get up, when to eat, when to sleep.....everything should be depicted there. Don follow it by minutes; ...
...you make a time-table, if you achieve 80% in adhering the times, i will say, it is great. Adhere to the time table in the right spirit is important. Play while u play and study while u study. Never mix-up activities. You cannot study playfully. It should be taken in its seriousness. Try to make short notes on what ever you study. References are to be used only one time when you prepare short notes. After that you have to refer only those short notes. ... Read review

...the lecturer, and a senior member of nursing staff from the hospital. I was asked all about my past experiences; what I could bring to the nursing profession as a whole, and what I wanted to do with my career. One good thing is that they not only gave me verbal feedback there and then, but also wrote to me with the same information to tell me as well. They said that I could have asked them for feedback if they didn't already give it to me, so this ... Read review
