Your Christmas Song Is



Joy to the World



Joy to the world, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And heaven and nature sing,



It's not about what you get under the tree

But sharing love with family, friends, and strangers

..." I approach my job hunting strategy pretty much like I approach my work. I took some time to think about the skills I want to use on my next job, the industry I’d like to work for and the location I want. I did some research on companies that were advertising and knew this company had the qualities I am looking for in my career and future."

"Mind Maps™, developed by Tony Buzan are an effective method of note-taking and useful for the generation of ideas by associations. To make a mind map, one starts in the center of the page with the main idea, and works outward in all directions, producing a growing and organized structure composed of key words and key images. Key features are:

Organization
Key Words
Association
Clustering
Visual Memory - Print the key words, use color, symbols, icons, 3D-effects,arrows and outlining groups of words
Outstandingness - every Mind Map needs a unique center
Conscious involvement "

"een sterke theoretische ondergrond;
training in modeldenken;
stimulering van eigen kennisverwerving en kritische reflectie;
kennis en onderzoeksvaardigheden als basis voor fundamenteel en toegepast onderzoek; dit vanuit het perspectief van kennisverwerving en vanuit de overweging dat het doen van onderzoek een uitstekende training is om sociale processen te analyseren en sociale problemen op te lossen;
integratie van theoretische kennis en praktische vaardigheden; dit vanuit het inzicht dat praktische vaardigheden (bijv. onderhandelen) gestuurd moeten worden door theoretische inzichten hierover, en andersom.

Types of Questions

There are two types of interview questions, Traditional and Behavioral. Traditional questions spark solid answers that focus on your candidacy for the position, motivations or work history. The theory behind Behavioral questions is that past behavior can predict future behavior. Be prepared with solid, detailed examples of instances in which you encountered the topic situation.

We've provided these sample questions for your reference.

Traditional
What can you tell me about yourself?
What are your most significant accomplishments?
How would you describe your ideal position?
What can you contribute?
What's the biggest mistake you've made in your career?
Why are you interested in this position?
Why should we hire you?
Why did you leave your last position?
What will references say about you?
What are your strengths? Weaknesses?
Behavioral Questions
Share a time in which you were very persistent in order to reach a goal.
Tell me about a time when you had to provide service to a stubborn, arrogant customer.
Give me an example of a time when you failed to meet a specific deadline. Why did you fail? How would you do it differently?
Can you describe a high-stress situation in which it was desirable for you to keep a positive attitude?
Give me an example of a time when you used facts and reason to persuade another person to take action.
Tell me about a time when you strongly disagreed with your supervisor. What was the basis of the disagreement?
Describe a situation in which you had to draw a conclusion quickly and take speedy action.
When have you found it useful to use detailed checklists/procedures to reduce potential for error on the job? Be specific.
What idea have you developed and implemented that was creative or innovative?
Describe a situation in which you had to adjust quickly to changes in the organizational goals. How did these changes have an impact on you? Give an example.

"Europol (Officiële naam: European Police Office) is een multinationale onderzoeksorganisatie en het samenwerkingsverband van de politiedienten van de Europese Unie. De oprichting van de organisatie werd vastgelegd in het Verdrag van Maastricht (1992) maar voor de feitelijke oprichting is een apart verdrag tussen de lidstaten tot stand gekomen. Europol is volledig operationeel sinds 1 juli 1999. Het hoofdkwartier van de dienst is gevestigd in Den Haag, Nederland.

Europol organiseert de informatieuitwisseling tussen de politiediensten van de 25 lidstaten van de Europese Unie. De laatste lidstaat, Estland, is op 1 juli 2005 tot het Europol verdrag toegetreden. De lidstaten én Bulgarije, Noorwegen en Roemenië (welke niet lid zijn van de Europese Unie) hebben ten behoeve van de informatieuitwisselingen één of meerdere liaisons bij Europol geplaatst.

[bewerk]
Functies
Europol was al vóór 1999 in functie, als Europol Drugs Unit (EDU). Deze "unit" was actief sinds 3 januari 1994 en werd naderhand door de hoofdorganisatie vervangen.

Het doel van Europol is om de effectiviteit en samenwerking tussen de autoriteiten van de lidstaten te versterken, om zo zware internationale misdaad te bestrijden.

Europol heeft geen uitvoerende macht. Het is een ondersteunende dienst voor de ordehandhavingsdiensten van de EU-lidstaten. Dit betekent dat Europol niets te zeggen heeft in onderzoeken of het arresteren van verdachten. Europol kan wel informatie uitwisselen en analyseren. Daarvoor heeft elke lidstaat onder andere een of meerdere liaisons bij Europol gestationneerd en een Europol National Unit (ENU) in eigen land opgericht vanwaaruit de contacten tussen Europol en de nationale politiediensten plaatsvinden. De Nederlandse ENU is georganiseeerd binnen de Dienst Internationale Politiesamenwerking van het KLPD.

[bewerk]
Autoriteit
De directeur van Europol wordt aangewezen door de Raad van de Europese Unie. De Duitse Max-Peter Ratzel is sinds februari 2005 directeur van Europol. Hij wordt in deze functie bijgestaan door de Spaanse Mariano Simancas, de Deen Jens Højberg en Kevin O'Connell uit het Verenigd Koninkrijk.
