Levelsofformalityinwriting3.1

How to Pitch Your Shareholders Like the Media (and get support for your ideas)
The document provides tips for pitching ideas to shareholders or other stakeholders in a way that engages their attention and meets their needs. It advises framing the pitch around what the stakeholder wants, not what you want, by highlighting how the idea solves their problems or helps them achieve their goals. Pitches are more likely to succeed by making the idea intriguing rather than complicated, focusing on benefits for the stakeholder rather than your own efforts, and offering a range of solutions rather than a single idea.
Networking
Networking is an essential tool for finding new jobs. More than 65% of job applicants use networking to find employment, rather than applying to advertised positions. Making connections and developing relationships can benefit both parties. Effective networking involves actively listening, asking open questions, and following up with contacts by sending a thank you message. Networking can happen anywhere and anytime through casual conversations. The key is to create a positive impression while learning about others.
Testing in the Age of Distraction: Flow, Focus, and Defocus in Testing
We live in interesting times. Knowledge is available at our fingertips, no matter where we are. Social networks enable communication around the world. However, along with these marvels of the information age come weapons of mass distraction. With so many things competing for our attention—and so little time to focus on real work—it’s a wonder we get anything done at all. What does this mean for testers? A common belief is that only focused concentration leads to productive work—and conversely, that distraction causes procrastination and stifles creativity. While it is important that testers find flow and maintain focus, Zeger Van Hese believes that a state of defocus—guilt-free play—can also be helpful in testing. Zeger shares tips, tricks, and tools that have helped him focus and defocus while testing. He explains not only how to benefit from distraction but also how to return to flow and focus when needed. Learn to make the most of these techniques in your testing.
Business Jargons
Business jargon refers to specialized words and phrases used in business conversations. While jargon can be effective when used appropriately, it can also leave people feeling excluded if overused or not well understood. Some examples of common business jargon include "out of the box" thinking, "face time" for in-person meetings, and "core competencies" referring to a company's strengths. Both advantages and disadvantages exist to using jargon - it can help communicate within an industry or feel like belonging to a group, but may seem like an unnecessary barrier to outsiders. Care must be taken not to overuse jargon to the point others cannot understand discussions.

Second Conditional - 22.pdf
This document provides examples of how to use the second conditional to talk about hypothetical or unlikely situations in the future or present. The second conditional is formed using "if" plus the past simple tense, followed by "would" and the infinitive verb.

It also gives sample questions that could be answered using the second conditional.
