How to apply for a job.
Money makes the world go round. In todays world money is everything to everyone. If a person doesnt have money its standards of life are not so nice. A job is one of the most crucial aspects of anyones life.
More and more people are looking for job. Also, more people are changing jobs as job markets change. How do you find out about new jobs? Besides the local newspaper, there are many places to check for more information on possible jobs.
Public libraries in most towns and cities have information about jobs and different careers. Many businesses hire workers through employment agencies. Employment agencies handle both temporary and permanent jobs. Many employment agencies list jobs in the want ad section of newspapers. Your friends and relatives who are working are another source to learn about jobs. They can tell you about job openings where they are working.
Now when it comes the time to chose a job there are millions and millions of jobs out, however there are billions of people vying for these jobs. This makes incredible importance to have an edge over the other people trying to get the job.
There are three major things to know when trying to get a job. The first crucial step to getting a job is actually to talk to any trustful person you are acquainted with. This may sound weird as employers generally hire people they know. In fact five of every ten positions are filled through personal contacts. The better the job and the better the pay, the greater the chances it will be offered through a personal contact. However personal contacts do not guarantee a job, which is why it is significant to know the other important things to do.
The next crucial step to getting a job is being prepared as much as possible. Not only one should be prepared physically for an interview but also mentally. When going to a job interview dressing nicely is an important aspect. To the average employer seeing the fact that you took the time to get nice for the interview shows your genuine interest in the job, thus improving your chance at getting the job.
Aside from looking good its also important to be educated enough to talk about the job. Some things a person should know about the job and the company includes what the companys business or service is.
The last crucial step to getting a job is something so simple that everyone should be a pro at it, however it is where a lot of people trip up. The last important aspect is being able to talk about yourself. When going into an interview it is important to be able to talk about your education, experience, and ability to adapt to the job position. Also it is important to talk about why you want the job, and why you would be a great fit for the job. In fact to make sure youve got what you want to say down it might be helpful to practice what youre going to say before the interview.
In conclusion, getting a job is a crucial part of almost everyones life. If you follow the three easy steps of getting your foot in the door you find it much easier to find a job. With your newfound job you can hopefully make all the money youve ever wanted.

Laptop Computers.
Laptop computers are small portable computers. They weigh from two to six pounds and are easy to carry. Most people carry their laptop computer in a padded case that has a handle. The case protects the laptop. A laptop computer is different from a desktop computer. Laptops are smaller, lighter, and sometimes they have less storage space.

Exercise 1. . . ?
_______________ SMART MUSIC_________________
There are now more and more ways of listening to music.
Many people now listen to music on their smartphones.
But do you know what a smartwatch is? Smartwatches do far more than tell the time; they also enable you to control the music you're listening to. They are part of what people call 'wearable technology', like Google glasses.
On a smartwatch you can make phone calls, read emails and texts, and answer them. Some smartwatches have voice recognition, so you can speak your reply to a text, and others have a camera. Soon everyone will want a smartwatch.
But there are two problems. The first is that having so many functions on a small device means that the battery life is short. So the battery will need a recharge every two days or so. The second is that a smartwatch is not stand-alone. In other words, you will still need to have a smartphone. The watch 'talks' to your phone using Bluetooth.
So why get one? Well, you won't miss calls when your phone is in your bag and you don't hear it. And you won't have to look for your phone when you get a call or a text.
