21、 the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selectiong process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications

22、 and an impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, This can be a serious problem of employers, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies. Resear

23、ch shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange.

30、the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon, it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can

Decisions toreorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time

The noise suggests that people have a spiritual problem. They can buy things in stores, but they do not have enough human contact. So they fill their

47、most memorable ad campaigns nowadays tend to be funny.Advertisers use this strategy to attract customers to their products. Audiences like to be entertained not forced. People will pay more attention to a humorous commercial than a factual serious one opening themselves up to be influenced. The key

48、to funny advertising is assuring the humor is appropriate to both the product and customers. The balance between being funny and being obnoxious can often be delicate, and a marketer must be certain the positive effects outweigh the negative before an advertisement can be introduced.The best product

49、s to sell using humor tend to be those that consumers think the least about. Products that are relatively inexpensive and often consumable can be represented without providing a lot of facts, and that's where there's room for humor. Candy, too, food, and entertainment-related products such a

50、s toys have got the most benefits from humor in their campaigns. One of the most important things to keep in mind is relevance to the product.Another point to consider when using humor in advertising is that different things are funny to different people.
