This document discusses alternatives for hiring a pipe stress analyst named Grubb and dealing with his salary demands of $90,000-$110,000, which is higher than the present average basic pay of $85,000.
The alternatives considered are: offering a lower salary and risk being turned down; giving the demanded salary and risk upsetting other employees; or completely revamping the compensation system.
The recommendation is to offer Grubb a base pay of $90,000 with incentives linked to a pay-for-performance system, and provide ample growth opportunities. This is expected to make Grubb's salary fair and justified while also motivating existing employees.

It can be several pages long and include full education and employment histories, while a resume focuses on specific qualifications for a given job and is typically 1-2 pages.
A CV should be no more than two pages, easy to read, and tailored to the specific job. It should include your personal details, education history, work experience, skills, and references. The goal is to showcase how you meet the job requirements and will be a strong candidate through concrete examples from your background. Ensure it is free of errors and formatted professionally to make a great first impression on employers.

Preparing for assessments
Content covered
Have enough knowledge on the university assessments before you start doing it.
Comments on readings/practice.
Making study plan and Managing time are the best method to have the peace of mind.
Most interesting points
Feeling organised when finish multiple assessments in the right time.
Most difficult points
Reading the academic articles and find the relative information that supports my topic, How to discuss more in depth.
· Introduction
The above session provided the best academic and coordination skills by explained the multiple essential tips of preparing properly for the assessments and considering the times determinant, which encouraged me to think and write professionally.
· Reflection Discussion on the study plan for assessments
As the English language is my second tongue, I have faced many difficulties with reading and writing academic articles. I found the above topic has a significant impact positively to prepare my assessments in advance, especially when it displays at the beginning of my first semester in the university. However, an ongoing experience on what I gained from this session has a huge impact on me. For instance, after this session, I organised a table that shows each type of the assessments separately, and each one has its basics and elements in its allotted box. As a result, while I’m doing my estimates, I refer to my table and find my structures ready, which helps me seize the time and be more skilled.
· Reflection Discussion on prepare well for my assessments.
As I'm in my first year at the university, I thought there was no need to have an entire assessments plan. Later on, I noticed that working on assessments without organising a plan affects the whole semester assessments, which might cause time conflict in the Assignments due date. I wasn't aware of how important it is the preparing and reading enough sources before start writing. However, Glancing and reading enough information can convert the assessment from stress work to exciting work, which will help set the scene and allow me to think critically and write academically. Based on the benefits that I acquired from the session, the critical thinking and in depth discussion in a particular topic will need to be supported by academic information from reading more articles and spend more time on this part of the work. After this session, I became able to organise my assessments, which allow me to have enough time to working on them and preventing some of the study stresses and cramming. Also, I have been able to take a period to refresh my mind and get my memory retention. However, there is no doubt that it encouraged me to provide the work in a prime manner. This experience will be beneficial in my subsequent semesters to develop my ability to be further organised in my study and aware of how to prepare before the assessments.

What Type of learner am I? How do I
learn best? What’s my learning style?
Being trained by attending a moving and
handling course, how to move and handle
and use hoists and aids within social
care, settings and tasks.
Working at home.
Working in class and at university.
I have found out that I am a kinesthetic, visual and
reading learner, whilst attending recently a
mandatory manual handling training course as part
of my work role, the tutors actually showed us about
how to use the equipment and we even took part in
the demonstrating and correct use of the
equipment, this way of learning had more of an
impact with me and because I had visually seen the
correct way to use the equipment I remembered
better than if I had read it on paper, the tutor made
the training fun and we participated in the training,
when we came to do the short test at the end I
found I could visualise using the equipment like we
had done in training .
At home I am a time management planner I have a
weekly planner on my office wall and add all my
appointments, classes and study time, fitness and
me down so I know what I am doing and when, I
like my radio on low in the background whilst
reading or working on the computer and I work
towards my assignment deadlines at a steady pace
and set myself goals for finishing work on a specific
time limit and stick to those guidelines.
I take a lot of notes I have taken during the lecture
to remind me when I come back to look at them, I
listen very carefully to the tutor and I participate in
discussions when I can, I also like being shown
videos or visual aids and I like group work very
much, I find that I remember a lot more things this
way, rather than just reading a handout.

Personal Development.
I started the Bolton Award at the end of
September 2015.
+
I started the Bolton Award at the end of September
2015 at Bolton University which I am in the final
stage of completing, I should have completed the
award by the end of February 2016 and the next
presentation event is in April 2016, so I should
receive the award then, it has taken me 6 months to
complete the award which has consisted of a 5
month voluntary placement at the Salvation Army
homeless drop in session every Wednesday 9-
30am untill12-30pm and I have attended 6 extra
classes in extra classes within the university I have
also done 15 hours which are called enrichment
hours in other volunteering or support roles, all
working toward the criteria for completing the
award, I am currently in my 2nd year of a 3 year
degree and thought that it would be too much along
with all my assignments and work I have needed to
complete to do with all my various modules but I
have surprised myself by completing all my
modules and finding the extra time to complete the
Bolton Award also within 6 months. I have learned
that I can maintain a heavy workload academically
and that I am getting better at managing my time
and studying when I need to and that I actually am
quiet intelligent, I have learned from all the extra
classes I have taken how to improve my I.T skills
and C.V and how to research future career
prospects and what future employers are looking for
in an employee. I would change if anything that I
didn’t come to university before I did, I wish I would
have come at a younger age as I am a mature
student, but as I am finding out I not only have life
experience and 10 year health and social care
experience by the end of my degree I will have also
the academic skills employers are looking for also,
so I still have a fair bit of working life ahead of me
so you’re never too old to learn.
19. CV
Full name in bold type and centralised
(You don’t need to call it Curriculum Vitae as it’s clear that this is a CV)
Personal details:
Address here
Telephone number
Home Email address
Profile/career aim:
A statement about what keys skills you have and what type of role you are looking
for
Current responsibilities:
Adapt your current job specification to target the job you are applying for.
Additional training:
Relevant courses you have been on with dates, the most recent first
Employment history:
List of previous jobs with dates
You could list the different skills used and responsibilities for each work role
Educational history:
List of schools attended and grades achieved with dates
You could omit the more irrelevant qualifications, for example, a low grade in French.
Additional information:
Any relevant information for the role, i.e. clean driving licence, use of IT, any
specialist knowledge.
References:
Two references are usual practice. A work based reference and an academic based
reference would be ideal as it shows attainment in both theory and practice areas.
20. Types of Curriculum Vitae
There are three main types of curriculum vitae – (Latin for 'life story'), called in
some countries a 'resume'.
Chronological CV – presents your career history in chronological sequence,
starting with your most recent job and working backwards.
Useful when your carer history shows natural progression and growth with
well known agencies and you are staying in the same field of work
Functional CV – highlights your main skills and interests without emphasising
your past employment which may give you greater flexibility.
Useful when the emphasis is on skills and strength rather than paid
employment, or for unconnected jobs, or if returning to work after a break, or a
change of career.
Targeted CV – used when you are aiming for one specific type of job and can
be a combination of both functional and chronological.
Useful when you want to emphasise key skills and achievements that are
needed for the specific job so as to offer a tailor-made CV.
SSD do not accept CVs so you will have to transfer the relevant information
onto the application form for that particular job. PCT do accept CVs with a
covering letter but have no particular preference for the type of CV, so pick
the CV that suits your needs.
A CV/resume is quite simply an 'advert' to sell yourself to an employer. You
should send a CV to an employer when they ask for one in a job advert, or
when you are enquiring if any jobs are available. So the purpose of your CV is
to make you attractive, interesting, worth considering to the company and so
receive a job interview. An employer may have several hundred enquiries
about a single job; he or she will only choose a few people who appear
suitable for interview. Therefore, your CV must be as good as you can make
it.
A CV should be constructed on a word-processor (or at least typed), so you
can easily customise your CV if necessary, and change the layout and the
way you write your CV for different employers.
Use bold and/or underline print for headings but don’t overuse different font
types and sizes – you are not designing a magazine cover! Considerusing
'bullets' to start sub-sections or lists. Ensure there is plenty of white space,
and a good border round the page. Make sure your spellings are correct.
Picture yourself to be a busy manager in the employer's office. S/he may have
to read through 100 CVs in half an hour, and will have two piles - 'possible'
and 'waste-bin' make sure yours is easy to read, succinct (aim for 2 pages of
A4) and attractive.
21. What to Include in Your CV
It can be good to start with a Personal Profile/Objective statement. This is a two or
three sentence overview of your skills, qualities, hopes, and plans. It should
encourage the employer to read the rest.
Personal Details
Name, home address, phone number, email address, date of birth.
Education
Give places of education where you have studied - most recent education
first. Include subject options taken in each year of your course. Include any
special project, thesis, or dissertation work.
Pre-college courses (high school, etc.) should then be included, including
grades. Subjects taken and passed just before college will be of most interest.
Earlier courses, taken at say age 15-16, may not need much detail.
Work Experience
List your most recent experience first. Give the name of your employer, job
title, and very important, what you actually did and achieved in that job. Part-
time work should be included.
Interests
They will be particularly interested in activities where you have leadership or
responsibility, or which involve you in relating to others in a team. A one-
person interest, such as stamp collecting, may be of less interest to them,
unless it connects with the work you wish to do. Give only enough detail to
explain. (If you were captain of a sports team, they do not want to know the
exact date you started, how many games you played, and how many wins you
had! They will ask at the interview, if they are interested.) If you have
published any articles, jointly or by yourself, give details. If you have been
involved in any type of volunteer work, do give details.
Skills
Ability in other languages, computing experience, or possession of a driving
licence should be included.
References
Usually give two names - one from your place of study, and one from any
work situation you have had. Or if this does not apply, then an older family
friend who has known you for some time. Make sure that referees are willing
to give you a reference.
Length
Maybe all you need to say will fit onto one sheet of A4. But do not crowd it -
you will probably need two sheets. Do not normally go longer than this. Put
page numbers at the bottom of the pages - a little detail that may impress.
23. Personal Statements
A statement about you, used when applying for jobs and such things as
university, as a way of selling yourself.
It will show the skills, qualities and life experience you have had. These things will
be linked into the career choice you have made, showing why you are a suitable
candidate.
The application for university will aim directly at a particular course of study. For
example, if you wish to apply for nurse training, you must show that you have the
necessary qualities in your personal statement. So you would need to consider
the skills which a nurse requires, and show why you have qualities which could
be developed.
Key phrases could include: I can work well with others / I have a positive attitude /
I am motivated to succeed / I believe this career option to be worthwhile / I am
willing to learn.
If you have examples from your life experience which you feel are relevant, then
include them. E.G A home maker could be seen to make you into a well-
motivated, self-disciplined, time manager, able to work under pressure.
Personal experiences are important in demonstrating empathy, although any
disclosures, which are made, should be carefully considered.
The key to any personal statement is to be positive and take time in terms of
preparation, and full consideration of TRANSFERABLE SKILLS.

UPDATING MY CV, AND WRITING MY
PERSONAL STATEMENT FOR MY
RECENT PORTFOLIO AND FOR AN
INTERVIEW FOR A JOB.
My c.v and personal statement was a learning
experience it was the first time I had actually sat
down and wrote a statement about my current
situation and my aspirations and how I was to full fill
those aspirations, it made me think about my future
realistically, we fortunately had a lovely careers lady
come into our class and talk us through what you do
and don’t put on your c.v and in your personal
statements, I learned what key words and
statements that employers skim over and are
looking for in a c.v and I learned how to sell yourself
on paper, which was really helpful, I also learned
how to structure a c.v and personal statement better
and how to write more professionally and
academically, the only thing I would do differently
next time is to keep in future my c.v and personal
statement updated more frequently as I had not
updated my current c.v in just over a years’ time
and I learned that you have to be constantly
updating and improving your c.v to boost your
chances of any future employment prospects.
