How You Make Your Job Application Stand Out
How To Make Your Job Application Stand Out Getting a job sounds like an easy proposition, doesn't
it? After all, everyone else seems to have one, so how hard can it be? Unfortunately, getting a job
that you enjoy, that pays well and that offers you something more than 40 hours a week of drudgery
isn't that easy. There are huge numbers of people out there looking for exactly the same thing. When
the right job pops up, you have to be aware that you're not going to be the only person clamouring
after it. With so much competition, you need a strategy to make the employer sit up and take a closer
look at your CV over the next person's. We're going to take a look at some ways you can give
yourself a leg up in the job hunt from our own ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Firstly, even if the employer doesn't read it, having it shows that you have at least taken the time to
find out something about the company and personalise your application in some way. Leaving it out
and simply submitting your generic CV immediately shows the recruiter that you couldn't be
bothered doing ten minutes legwork to individualise your application for the position. That's not a
good look right off the bat, and many employers out there will just throw your CV in the bin without
purusing it further. Sure, you got noticed, but it was for the wrong reasons and got you the wrong
result. Many job seekers think the best way to stand out is to make their CV "fun". Images, colours,
jokes, puns and funny fonts are all popular choices, and all of them are bad ideas. Just don't do it
please! Okay, maybe that's harsh, but generally, unless their is a specific reason why the organisation
you're interested in would like that sort of thing, trying to stand out through superfluous aesthetic
choices isn't going to work. Understand Your Application So far it seems like we've only told you
what not to do. But what about things that you should do? The best way to make yourself stand out
is to be the applicant who is most familiar and most invested in the company before you've even
been in for an interview. That doesn't just mean

On November 28, I went to the ASU Harp Studio Recital, students of Julie Smith Harp recital. The
venue had a massive organ in the back, behind the performers. There were 5 harps onstage. Each
performer, one by one, would go onstage, give an introduction, play a piece, then leave. After all the
performers played a piece solo, they all went onstage and played as an ensemble. The first solo piece
is called La Fille Aux Cheveux de Lin by Claude Debussy, arr. Salzedo. It started out very slow and
there was many long, powerful pauses throughout it. There were a few very slow places with short,
surprising outbursts. The piece was fairly short and lasted around 10 minutes. What stood out to me
was the music the harp made. The harp seemed like a background ... Show more content on

The first song was a paraphrase on Greensleeves. I was amazed by how perfectly insync they were.
The song ended softly and quick. The next song was Carol of the Bells by Dudley. There was one
harpist who played the melody. It was very smooth, soft and fit in perfectly with the season and
theme. The last and final song of the night was the Waltz of the Flowers. From The Nutcracker by
Tchaikovsky. There was a soloist who played on her own for the beginning without any background
music. Throughout the piece, there were many soloists and they all played smooth and consistent. I
thought this song was very lively and

Short Summary : A Short Story-A Story?
Hidden in the dark, lied a mansion – a mansion inside the woods, hidden of secrets that nobody
could hear. Long and forsaken, down the lobby into the most distant room, children gathered into
this ghostly tomb, grinning, as they waited here to play with Mary. "Hey, can you hear me? I called
out your name." Mary's eyes opened. Unsurprisingly, the children started to surround her. They
smiled, grabbed her hand, and touched her face. Her face was plush, smooth, and brimming with
life. Their appearances, washed out of all colour, yet at the same time sparkled as they grinned.
"Good morning, Mary!" said a pair of twins among the several children. "You rested for quite a
while, it's evening time!" said one of them. Both had wonderful light hair, and their brilliant beady
eyes took after those of a doll. Their garments were smooth – one wore a dark dress brimming with
laces while the other wore a dark suit and under it a striped white shirt. Mary couldn't help but
notice how beautiful they all were and the happy faces that circled around her. "I must go check up
on father," "But, it's almost time for our nightly game, must you go now?" A small girl spoke, with
long black hair tied with a pink bow, blue eyes and exceptionally fair skin. But, before Mary could
answer, the children already started. They began to blindfold her. Through laughter and with the
children's hands, they came together in the room, "It is time," they said, "And we'll all play!" They
began to cheer

1. Nowadays, many immigrants have moved to America(north, central, and south) for many reasons,
searching for a fresh start. My family was one of them. I was born in Egypt and lived there for six
years of my life. My family's decision to immigrate to Canada was basically for my future. At that
time, the state of the Egyptian government was very unstable, the economy was poor and there were
many problems between Christians and Muslims in the country. Also, the education system in Egypt
is not one of the best in the world. So, thinking of my future, my parents decided to immigrate to
Canada. I have been living here for 12 years now. My country will always be the best to my eyes but

I gasped in surprise, still not used to the sight of dragons walking around. Although... this dragon
wasn't very large. He was only the size of a full–grown horse, and he wasn't very threatening
looking. Just to add to his apparent softness, he wasn't particularly brawny, though he didn't look
very thin, either. Over his shoulder was some sort of draped cloth, but it was a dull grey. His front
two legs were shaking like he didn't know how to stand on them, and his face was full of horror.
"Um... e–excuse m–me... m–master human?" he asked, walking up to Alex.
Alex didn't respond. Instead, annoyed, he continued to walk.
"Sir! I–I'm sorry... I–I didn't m–mean to s–startle... I... I... I n–need to t–talk to you!" he stuttered.
At that, Alex turned to look at the dragon in the eye. One eye was glowing, and he seemed to be
expelled an aura of danger.
The dragon gave a yelp and darted behind a tree. However, the tree he had selected was smaller than
he was, and his body stuck out on either side enough for him to be noticeable from a hundred feet
away. "P–Please don't d–do anything to h–hurt me..."

Alex was confused. "What kind of dragon are you?"
He didn't move, but instead answered from behind the tree, "I–I'm Benjamin... Benjamin

Henry Viii : An Old English Folk Song And Tune That Talks...
Greensleeves is an old English folk song and tune that talks about a woman named Lady Green
Sleeves, who many believe was a prostitute. Although there was never a named composer, many
people believe that it was written by King Henry VIII for his future queen, Anne Boleyn, but there
are some problems with this theory because of its style and of the time period it was written in. In
fact there is no direct information that can link Henry VIII to this piece. In this paper, using
historical information and scholarly articles, I argue that Henry VIII did not compose Greensleeves.
Greensleeves is written in a form called passomezzo which is "an old originally Italian dance in
duple time resembling the pavan but about twice as fast". passamezzo was popular in the mid 16th
century till about 1650, and there were two types, the passamezzo antico and the Passamezzo
moderno. With each passamezzo there is a certain chord progression for each passamezzo, with the
Passamezzo antico having a i–vii–i–V–III–vii–i–V–I progression and the passamezzo Moderno
having a I–IV–I–V–I–IV–I–V–I progression. Now "Although in the extant sources this distinction
emerges only in the late 1550s, both types are already clearly defined in earlier examples simply
entitled 'passamezzo'" showing that passamezzo was barley being practiced a couple of years after
Henry died in 1547. Also "...the passamezzo developed mainly in Italy, both types appeared in lute
books published in Nuremberg." reienforcing the

Greensleeves by Alan Spence
Greensleeves by Alan Spence "Greensleeves" by Alan Spence is a short story describing the life of
an elderly lady living alone on the top floor of high rise flats in Glasgow. Spence creates a character
readers feel sympathy for through isolation and lonliness, themes that run prominently throughout
the story. The title of the story – Greensleeves – is significant in developing the story.The elderly
lady hears the song playing on an ice cream van, but it's not as pleasant as she remembers. "She
could only just recognise the tune for what it had once been. Not that coarse parody, stilted and
mechanical, a tin brashness, a gaudiness of noise." Unpleasant and irritating sounds and noises

Ralph Mayan Williams Influences
Ralph Vaughan Williams is known as one of the most influential composers of the late eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries. It has been stated that, "Hardly a musical genre was untouched or
failed to be enriched by his work..."(Connock). Although he is known for his symphonies and other
works, there is much more to Williams' life and legacy than is written in the lines of his Sea
Symphony. Ralph Vaughan Williams was born on the 12th of October, 1872, in the Vicarage of
Down Ampney. He showed brilliance at a young age, writing his first musical piece, The Robin's
Nest, at only age 6. This was due to his family's passion for music and the lessons he was given at
such an early age. He attended music school into his adolescent years, allowing ... Show more

During his schooling at Trinity College, he met a woman named Adeline Fisher, also a musician,
who he became infatuated with, marrying her in October of 1897. Ralph Vanaugh Williams was an
organist for St. Barnabas church, which also influenced his work in religious pieces. He resigned in
1899, choosing to compose his own pieces and start his own career. For over a decade, Williams
wrote symphonies with different qualities and influences. This was cut short by World War One and
his enlistment as a Private in a medical unit. He was forty–two at this point, and yet still found a
way to support his country in the war. Although Ralph's work resumed in almost an unaffected
manner, he did write Morning Heroes in expressing the pain and sorrow of the war as he had
experienced it. Williams continued working on symphonies for plays such as The Pilgrim's Progress,
a religion based play. This was strange for an agnostic to do, and yet it was not strange for Ralph
Vaughan Williams, because he had done this before in his Mass in G Minor. In the 30's Ralph had
moved to a new house nearby to Dorking and had developed arthritis. The second World War came
and once again interrupted his work, but had him contribute his music to film

The Rhetorical Analysis Of 'Viva La Vida'
Titanium– This song relates specifically to the scene at the end where he stands up for himself by
refusing to give back his signature. They attempt to coax him into handing it over and signing it in
order to convict the other people holding out. Then at the last moment he takes a stand for himself
and the others by defying the court and being hanged... He let there empty threats ricochet of him as
he stands defiant against the evil and corruption of the court. When he answers, "I did not" when
asked if he saw anyone else with him, he is standing up for for his friends and protecting them.This
parallels to the general tone of the song and strongly relates to the lyrics, "I'm criticized but all your
bullets ricochet–You shoot me down, but I get up–I'm bulletproof nothing to lose–Fire away, fire
away".
Viva La Vida– Viva La Vida is a song of remembrance for a time when the King of France had real
authority and now he is washed up and no longer respected. This directly reflects the loss of
authority that occurs throughout the story as Hale loses respect. Hale goes from the de facto
authority on witchcraft and a chief member of the Salem court... to a person who's pleas and
reasoning is dismissed. This is shown in two quotes that represent him at the beginning and the end;
these quotes are, "There be no unnatural causes here. Tell him I have sent for Reverend Hale of
Beverly, and Mister Hale will surely confirm that" and "Now hear me, and beguile yourselves no
more. I will not

Love And Love : The Love Of Queen Anne Boleyn
The Love of Queen Anne Boleyn
One of the things that make humans so unique is their ability to passionately love another more than
themselves. So attracted are they to the idea of love that stories of lovers who died for their beloved
in the name of love have survived the test of time. Among these great love stories throughout history
is that of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII. Their love story was so striking to those who knew it
that it is still being told centuries later. Though all good stories deserve embellishment, over time
and countless retellings the clear truth of Anne Boleyn and King Henry has become muddy waters
that only expert historians are willing to brave. There are many people who are of the opinion that
Anne was promiscuous, enticing the king with sexual charm and promises. This is an example of
just one of the ideas Anne's enemies circulated to the English people and even to other nations (with
high moral culture) in order to demoralize her character and turn people against her. "Much of the
hostility to Anne, however, was also associated with a dislike of royal policies of recent years" (Ives
249) This view of her has survived to modern times and can be reflected in modern books, movies,
and even festival plays that portray Anne Boleyn as exactly that.
There is a popular historical festival that travels throughout the United States, celebrating the
medieval era and the art and clothing that was present in that time. During this festival, actors

A Short Story : The Story Of My Grandma's Home
We arrived at grandma's place to clear out her home. As I stepped in, warm morning light caressed
my face and was infused with a golden orange glow. I clutched a photograph of my grandmother,
now worn and tearing. I still couldn't believe that she was gone. I still remembered when I first
heard about this, sorrow twisted tightly into me and a rush of tears flowed from my eyes. That day,
was the mournful days of my life.
I quickly shoved my thoughts into the bottom of my brain and entered the living room. The furniture
was covered in sheets and collecting dust. She used to keep the house in great condition, but now,
the floors were chipped and dull.
"Megumi," my mother called. "Can you go up to the attic and see if there's anything left that we
could sell?"
I nodded, but felt a sense of discomfort. As far as I knew, nobody had been in that attic for years.
Who knows what was up there? Nevertheless, I ascended the ladder and turned the door handle,
until it clicked open. As I went inside the dark room, goosebumps crept across my skin with every
step. The sensation was so intense that my heart thumped vigorously in my chest. Heavy dust
choked the air and I rushed to open the windows. Phew! It felt a lot better! I surveyed the bright yet
solemn room with my eagle eyes, until it was attracted to an elegant–looking string instrument
resting on a guitar stand. Its shiny varnish reflected the sun rays from the window and a distinctive
odour swirled around my nose. I plucked a
