Unique collection of 50+ common interview mistakes Fundamentals: •Following the rules helps more when job market conditions are not really good •Is there exact science behind the questions asked? It depends: -There might be a novice as scared as you are about the situation -There might be an Interviewing Pro playing with you •People buy to satisfy their needs, not yours.

StopFundingIsrael call to Attorney General office of Australia
After calling the Human Rights Commission to enquire about the arrest of those complicit with War Crimes in Palestine in January 2009 involving the GAZA genocide of civilians, I really didn’t manage to get anywhere…. The operator gave me the number of the Attorney Generals Office of the Commonwealth of Australia and suggested that I try there to get some answers to my questions that he could not (would not) answer. Using the exact same method of interview style I telephoned the Attorney Generals office only to find they were even more non responsive to giving answers or freely exchanging information. Listen in and prepare yourself for a definite shock as the media representative of the Attorney General shows the world that a well trained happy monkey always deserves a new bright yellow banana for remembering a standard response to every single question given. These kind of public servants give a whole new meaning to the word “programmed people” Uninformed, short patience and quite simply unresponsive and unhelpful. Listen in and see what reaction I get when I tell her an answering machine could do her job just as well.. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC SERVANTS who are loyal not to Australia, but to supporting their party, saluting their party, marching to the party beat, and demonizing anybody who questions otherwise. Does anyone remember the 1970′s US movie called “The WAVE” ? I wonder why its not essential reading for high school students anymore… Maybe they …
Trigonometry Review (1 of 5)
Part 1 (1-13): Convert between degrees and radians, graph angles in standard position, and find coterminal angles in both radians and degrees. Find the exact value (the ratio between the sides) of different special angles (30°-60°-90° and 45°-45°-90°) by evaluating the trigonometric function (sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, cot). Part 2 (14-20): More evaluating questions continued from part 1. Find the trigonometric ratio given: (1) a point (x, y) on the terminal side of an angle in standard position, (2) a triangle, (3) another trig ratio. All answers are left as exact (simplified radical form). Part 3 (20b-23): Using trig functions and inverse trig functions to find missing angles or sides in right triangles. Now we’re using the calculator and approximating our answers. Part 4 (24a-c): We leave the comfortable world of right triangles behind and enter a world with no 90° angles and no hypotenuses. So, we must use law of sines and law of cosines to find missing sides and angles and solve triangles. Beware of the SSA situation because it doesn’t mean there is only 1 triangle possible; there might be two or it might not even be a triangle. Part 5 (24d-25): We continue solving triangles with the law of sines and law of cosines. We also find the area of non-right triangles using two different area formulas.
