**Applying for a job**
By Vendela and Fanny

When you are applying for a job, one of the most important rules is to give the impression that you are serious and interested, which means showing yourself from your best side.

It is not only about you previous experiences and jobs. If you want to be taken seriously you have dress right depending on the occasion. For example, when applying for a job that requires meeting important clients and working in an office then dressing formal is important. That also gives the impression to the employee that the person are serious about the job.

Another important manner is that you cant be shy, you have to be open, social and positive. Dont use slang words, for example, like, um, yeah etc. Speak in a formal way but still be interesting. It is very important that the person has prepared his or hers answers that are related to the job.


 * Questions**

Do you have any previous experiences similar to this position? What kind of education do you have? Why do you want this job? What can bring to the company? What do you expect to accomplish here? Sell this toiletbrush to me. Why should I buy it from you?

=

 * The light I give you is not the light in the tunnel of the end, it's not going to make everything alright ****. **=====

=

 *  Our light shine bright on every path you decide to explore, and I promise you, I will be there every step of the way. **=====


 * All of a sudden I see you, behind me, limping while I'm running towards our dream. I’m faster, you cannot keep up. I stop for a second, thinking. I hesitate and slowly start running again. I change my mind and turn around to help you. **


 *  You’re gone, you chose to climb another mountain. Our paths went in different directions. I know we will meet again, we are different but the same, and I find that beautiful. **

=

 * I am your light in the dark, still we’re apart! Look at the sky when it's dark and we will look at the same stars and remember that you'll always have me in your heart! **=====

//Description of my poems//

Losing someone, it does not have to be physically or even losing someone at all. It is about giving someone the impression that you will alway be there, for better or worse. I feel " Lights" in general is a word that gives you hope and a feeling of being home or at another place where you feel safe. I was trying to send out a massage that even if we are apart we still have each other. Even if I past a way or chose to do something different with my life, I will always be there for the people that I care for. I wrote another poem down bellow called " To: You From: Me". Sometimes when I am writing I intend to come up with another idé. I were really excided trying to mix my idéas to something better. After a while I decide to write two different poems and I am satisfied with the decision to do that. My other poem is about a love story, they were not meant to be, and now it is time to say goodbye.

//Performing my poem//

I was a bit nervous holding a speech for the hole class because sometimes you doubt yourself. " Have I interpreted the assignment right and will they even understand what I am trying to procure up there". Of course you feel a bit insecure but practice gives makes you develop your ability to hold speaches and you will grow as a person.


 * Poem 2.0**


 * To: you **
 * From: me **


 * I've tried writing this letter for a while, but it keeps getting wet from my tears behind my convincing smile trying to tell "everything's alright" **


 * I'm angry, not at you, the letter or the fact that I always picture us together no matter the weather. I'm angry that I took it for granted. I hope you find love more than once. You deserve something we couldn't find. We were blind trying to find something we only pictured in our mind. **


 * Saying goodbye with right words is like walking around trying to find love birds. So I'm just going to end this letter with: **


 * " I hope you find better because you deserve something that lasts forever" **

** A world cooperatation ** ** By: Alice and Vendela ** This text is written by: __Alice and Vendela__ //Vendela//
 * Alice**

__ Our opinion is that a world cooperation is something that will do everybody´s best, human and business. This subject is very big and a hard question for many people to face. We have divided to focus on the biggest part which is the human, the person and the people which Alice is going to talk about. The business and world economy is also a big question which I am going to talk about. __


 * Some feel that the world only gets smaller and smaller for every single day. Far back as the industrial revolution took place, the world got smaller because of the new inventions. Today, we can make calls with Skype to the other side of the world free of charge. The world is also smaller because of all the media we have everywhere today. We know as much about Austrailia as we know about our neighbor, if not more. Many of you in here might dream about an international success in many ways Am I right? Some of you are attracted by the warm climate in the southern parts of the world, others by the access to good education and jobs. The relatively low prices, and access to cheap flights give us an opportunity to live and work abroad. **


 * In the past, it was more difficult and expensive to travel long distances for most people. Most of the dreams about a life abroad never came true. **


 * Maybe because of the technical improvements (like the internet and the air traffic) it is now easier to move abroad, to countries that fit our dreams of the future, especially in the European Union (EU). EU was established, after the second world war. The fundamental idea of EU was to start an economic cooperation between European countries, which would lead to the countries become so dependent of the trade which each other so they remains as friends. In recognition of six decades of peace, reconciliation, democ(k)racy and human rights in Europe was EU rewarded with the Nobel peace price. **

// So if you would get the opportunity and you had the ability to build a new business and work abroad. It would not just give you the chance to succeed, it would also help others. //

// And now I will explain a short version of the world economy. //

// It´s based on the economies of all of the world´s countries. The global economy affect us in many ways even if we don´t think about it. Especially 2008 when the bank Lehman Brothers declared a bankruptcy. It was the fourth largest investments bank in the US. They had ”Bank of America” which is one of the largest bank for private people who are living in the US. Why are we only counting on one source when we are seven billion people all around the world with a lot of founds and skills, sounds crazy to me. And now your thinking that I have my money at Handelsbanken so I have nothing to worry about, well that´s not entirely true. // // Because we all effect on each other. If your driving a car that´s not good for the environment then of course it will effect me in a way. In every country are we going to find small banks, and that´s the best thing, but our idea is that all of this small banks and big banks all over the world are working together and are helping each and other for good and bad. Not that every bank keep in touch every hour, but what we need is to get the spaces between the continents smaller when it comes to business. //


 * Isn't obvious that we must take EU further to the rest of the world. Do you agree with me that most of the people on the earth are dreaming of a world that trade peacefully with each other. That shares the thoughts of human rights, and how to handle poverty. Today the world feels small enough to build world cooperation. **


 * In the middle of the 40’s the people did not have the same possibilities as we have today. EU made a difference in a war-torn continent. France and Germany have now not even a thought on fighting with each other again. I think that it was a very difficult step for EU to take. To make war-torn countries collaborate with each other, it sounds impossible. But as we have seen today the EU-work turned out to work well. **


 * With the success we have done today. Would a world cooperation sounds equally difficult as a European cooperation sounded in the past. And I think it is possible that we can make a change in the world. **


 * If we had a system like EU but in the whole world. I think it would be much easier for us to get a job in the popular parts of the world like US, China or Australia. More people could move around and create a healthier mix of thinking. Which would lead to a fast success in every country. **

// A good example is the developing country Africa. A continent with a lot of economic problems and not the ability to find a solution because of the poverty. And most of the people living there our uneducated, which is a big problem. A lot of reliable sources and measuring shows us that the continent are about to be very big in the industrial business. Because the continent has a lot of founds, like for example oil. Untouched material. //

// China knows about this and have started to invest money in Africa in places they know they can find oil. That´s not good for Africa because they are poor so if China comes and asks to buy this mark for a lot of money then of course they will say yes. But that´s not so good for the future of Africa, its just a short time plan that of course will give them money but just for a little while. A better plan is to save the founds and start to build up a business of there own, and to help them do that do we need to be able to build a new business and work abroad. //


 * You all aware the problems in the world. Dirty water, the global warming because of the use of oil and other fossil fuels, I can talk about this list for days. If we should solve these problems I think that the hole world needs to invest in science. I mean that we need take the science to rest of the world, like Afrika and South America e.g. **


 * There are too few scientists that come from Africa, the reason for this is that countries like Kenya and Uganda have invested in schools on a low level. The people who want to succeed in science don´t have the ability to do that in Africa e.g. They move to China instead to reach the good education as a result of the lack of universities. These big countries success well while the developing countries developed kind of slowly. This need a change, we need to share our knowledge to these countries instead of keeping it for our selves. The objective should be to make it equally good to work in a country like Kenya or Uganda as it would be to work in USA. **

// A world cooperation would also help a country like Africa to get on board on the economic world wide. Helping a country can be solved in many ways. But our opinion is that your helping the people and the environment best if you let them do all the work. That can sound really strange but what we mean about that is what would Sweden feel if we had a lot of problems financially and somebody just looked over our heads and solving the problem when we have no clue of what was going on. That´s why I think that the best solution is to help the people by giving them support for jobs and the opportunity to build up a working and a save place that also would help others people world wide. That´s why I think that everyone should have the opportunity to build up a new business abroad. //


 * Take the example of science again. In the futures research countries like China or South Korea the students are very strong in math and science subjects. This make them good scientists. But they also have weaknesses, that are strengths of swedes. Like the creative thinking.² In these ”science” countries and schools do they learn things by heart instead of find solutions by their own. A solution to this problem could be that every country should collaborate to make the school better. Science is the savior of the future. But, to make it a success in long term we also need to make a critical way of thinking. If every country learn to think critical, I think that stuff like dictatorship e.g would be more rare. **

// We also need each and other in Business and pleasure, what I mean about pleasure is that the global warming is not good for our environment and as Alice said we need to figure out a way to safe the planet. I think that we all can agree on that one, can´t we? . English is one of the largest languages in the world. China is also a country with a lot of smart people and good at solving problems. I mean how many people don´t own something that says MADE IN CHINA in the back. Why do we still fight when we after all depend on each other all the time. The industry is huge, clothes, shoes everything is MADE IN CHINA. Africa is a huge continent with a enormous popularity so why shouldn't they have the same chance. We should just help them by giving them a chance to succeed and get out from the enormous bubble of poverty there in. The good part in all of this is that we have a chance to change the future and the marketing of the world of economic. So what should we focus on, to help Africa or build a more stable continent for the people who lives there. To do that we need to start seeing them as a chance for the world instead of a problem. //


 * Have you ever seen a commercial with poor children that live in pain. Do you feel sympathy or bad about it? These children often live in countries where the political system doesn't work. This often lead to poverty or war. Wars make it even harder for the country to succeed. That because of the lack of education. The children in these countries haven’t a choice. They are forced to stay home because of the danger that is outside. There might not be any schools at all in the country because of the war. **


 * Imagine that you live in a country like this, you have lost almost hole your family. Your parents were only out to get some food when a bomb hit them. You don’t even know where they are buried, likely in some mass grave somewhere. Its only you and you brother that still are in the world trying to survive. You can’t get any education, because there are no schools that is open. You know that a bomb or a shoot could take away you or your brother any time. What would you think about your life if it was in this situation. **


 * Do some of you feel that you want to donate some money? Of course is that good, but will you really do that in the end of the day? Somebody will, and they are really strong people. I wish that I were that strong, but I’m not. My thought is that to give some money to these countries make them a short-term relief. But the money wouldn’t stop the political problems. **

// But the thing that´s most important is if we continue to provide for Africa for example. Will we only end up with a country with sorry people instead of helping them help them self for once. //

// And have the chance to succeed and help the world of economics. Who would have known that for once we need help from Africa. The good lack of interest and the sense of right and wrong is something that the world should share together, why? //

// I know that for some of you is this hard to just turn by reading a text that only effect the business and economic when were only 14 years old but I´m sure that someday you will look back and think what a huge difference it was ten years ago. And by looking forward you will also see all the possibilities that you have ahead of you. Jobs that are going to turn out to careers, a relationship that will turn out to marriage, a whole life ahead of you that´s just waiting you to take a chance and the possibilities to success, so why don´t do that in Africa. //

// In ten years I can assure you that Africa won´t just be a destination for safaris. In the future I do think that we will be looking at a working business with a lot of successful people doing a great job. //


 * To unite some of the world’s countries. It doesn’t matter which ones. They just need to follow the contract. Not to violate the human rights and don’t fight with each other etc. Every country in this cooperation would get a surety. And they could together collaborate to help vulnerable countries with their political systems and economic business. **


 * Of course can’t every country become a member in this world cooperation. Especially countries like North Korea, that are totally cut off from the rest of the world. But I think the more the better. We can think in this perspective. A lonely man can’t lift a car by his own, but what if a dozen men came to help him? Would they be able to lift the car.?I think that it is the same with the countries of the world. If all the countries that already are strong collaborate to help the developing countries, would it be much easier for them to succeed. **


 * We also need to think that this countries need to be independent and ruled by their own people. With saying that I mean that they not just can be independent countries, they also need a democracy and a peaceful trade. Without that can’t we say that they are independent in real I think. What Europe did to countries in the past was awful, but I think if something have been destroyed it can always be fixed again. We can’t just leave these countries to their destiny any more. When we help them can we not either become power mad again. We must think about the consequences. For the hole world’s sake, we need to get all the countries in the path. Without this action I think that the world can’t carry the big inequality anymore. **

// So if you are an unemployed student and you have this perfect idea that you love and believed in. It would also help a lot of people but especially yourself. But you don´t have the rights to take it to India for example and start working there without it being illegal. You wouldn't do it right? But if you did you would probable worry a lot and have big problems to go out with it in media. That´s the issue. Everybody should have a chance to try and to succeed in another country. //

// What we want is to have everyone on the same side, not in religion, sex or assessments but in the sense of what will do everybody's best financially. If I would give an example it would probably be something like this: //

// ” It´s christmas and your whole family is coming together, your grandma and grandpa flies in from Alaska and your ant is driving from Washington. Everybody is so thrilled to spend the holiday together. But it feels so forced, like being with your family is something forced on every holiday. Don´t get me wrong I would do anything for them but that does not mean that I want to spend time with them all the time. Always friends and family but we don´t need to spend time together, once a year is perfect!” //

// Not every country likes each and other but in the future while the industrially is going for worth so does the financially communication also. We care about each and other financially. If one goes down, will the others be there for financially support. //


 * I expect that most of you have wanted to buy something from the USA or another country sometime. Probably have you also been stooped by the expensive freight and customs. I think that the online shops is the future of the trade, and I think it’s stupid that we don’t can trade with each other in this way without expensive costs. With a system like EU could we trade with each other in this way. Your opinion for this is maybe be: **
 * - The environment would become worse because of all the freighter aircrafts! **
 * But that is not really true. If you trade in a normal store, have all the products in their been freight a long way, maybe will not even everything be sold, which means that some products have been sent there unnecessarily. **


 * Witch small or free freight would just the stuff that people wants been freighted. The traffic would be less in the big towns. There will also be easier for every country to make a good trade. It would make you in this classroom a favor by making it easier for you to get what you want. I think also the economic problems in the world would be smaller because of that every country trade with each other. **


 * In the history lessons do we learn about everything that have went out wrong. We see that the tragedies got consequences that influence us still today. I think that everyone who are against our opinion feel that we don’t need a change in the world. But I think you mean that we don’t need a change in sweden. You have never seen the real problems in the world out of the schoolboard and the TV-screans. We here in Sweden don’t have the same problems as the rest of the world. I think it is therefore you think it is unnecessarily to make a change. **


 * But think now of how many times a week we make complaints over what’s wrong here in Sweden and why we haven’t this and that possibilities. We think it is awfully with all the wars and poorness, but still are we against a chance? We must stop with all this talking and instead decide us for what we really want. **

** The fundamental idea is to make a economic cooperation between countries, like EU but now in the hole world. Maybe can a measure like that become a bit of the solution of a peaceful world? **

 * __ That´s our idea for a world cooperation __**
