The Information Age has drastically changed the way companies recruit employees. The Internet
makes huge numbers of job seekers available to any firm with access to the Web. At the same
time, many companies increasingly rely on executive search firms to locate good candidates for
important posts. But traditional recruitment methods — by word-of-mouth or newspaper
advertisements — still work best for some firms.Here's the lowdown on each recruitment method
and how you can make it work for your business:The Internet. Learn to love the Internet — it’s
probably the greatest recruitment resource around. Already, more than two-thirds of human
resources professionals use the Internet to recruit. On the other hand, a recent search for the
phrase “employee recruitment” found more than 1 million Web pages.Executive search firms.
The executive search industry has grown rapidly in recent years, thanks to our booming economy
and the resulting labor shortage. Large corporations make up most of the search firms´
business.Traditional recruiting methods. Don’t be so wowed by fancy technology and premiumpriced headhunters that you ignore time-tested ways of finding good talent. Often, the best
prospective employees are people you hear about from trusted friends or associates.

In order to fill a key vacancy, a company will usually follow the same recruitment procedure.
First, it will produce a job description, then it produces a profile of an ideal candidate, which is a
list of skills, experience, attributes and so on. Having produced this profile, the company should
then decide on the best recruitment method to get a candidate with this profile. This might be an
advertisement or an advertisement in a newspaper, on the Internet, even an agency or perhaps a
headhunter. After the advertisements are placed or the headhunter contacted, a list of candidates
will then be drawn up to be put through the company’s recruitment process. This might be
interviews, psychometric tests or even handwriting analysis. This should produce the ideal
candidate for the company.

where it is necessary
There are many outstanding women around the world. Women have excelled in the fields of arts
and literature, politics and governance. Here we look at some of the famous women, who paved
the way and have shown that women are on par with men in their accomplishments. Though
most of the rulers of the ancient world were kings and pharaohs, nevertheless, there were queens,
empresses, saints and other women rulers who ruled their kingdom in their own name. Here are a
few of the most powerful women. Artemisia: Artemisia ascended to the throne after the death of
her husband. She was proclaimed the ruler of Halicarnassus (present day Turkey). Boudicca:
Also known as Boadicea, she was the queen of the Iceni tribes. She was known as a warrior
queen. She led a revolt against the Roman occupation in the East England (present day Norfolk
and Suffolk). Cleopatra: Cleopatra was the Queen of Egypt. She was famed for her beauty.
5. Complete the following article using the correct prepositions.
Use one of the prepositions given in the box
A report published in EastLink Small Business Services shows that women are still less likely to
start new business ventures than men, although they are usually better qualified and more
realistic in their business planning. The report claimed that women were responsible for only 29
per cent of all start-ups in the first half of the year. Moreover, there has been little change in the
proportion of male to female start-ups over the last 10 years with the growth in women-owned
businesses typical of female employment. Studies have shown that gender has no effect
whatsoever on the potential success of a business. The crucial factors are age, vocational
qualification, amount of relevant experience and the number of people employed by the start-up
business.

Nowadays we can see that the greatest challenge to women in business is having access to the
opportunities, to fill positions, to contract opportunities, to open corporate board seats. Women,
who are successful, need to do more to let other women know when they’re aware of
opportunities. It’s only fair that women be in the pool in relevant numbers. The crucial issue for
businesswomen is the balance between their business and their family life. Many women believe
that being a boss may give them some flexibility as they themselves are able to decide what the
priorities are.However, when a woman has her own business, clients are critically important, and
sometimes she has to make difficult decisions, like to not attend her child’s school event, or
whatever. Somehow, businesswomen manage to survive. The key thing to be prosperous for a
woman is to trust her instincts.
7. Render the following text
Society is interested in the problems of businesswomen. A lot of money
draws attention to themselves. And all just because it is simply impossible not to pay attention to
businesswomen - they are socially active.
Meanwhile, let's say, a music teacher or an engineer at an institute are no less interesting objects
for the attention of specialists. And what distinguishes them from
businesswomen are distinguished only by the absence of small specific problems. Therefore, it
would be more correct to talk about the problems of professionally
of professionally oriented women in general. After all, both the owner of the enterprise, and the
teacher at the school has a certain range of common problems.
Work, if a woman takes it seriously, takes a great deal of her
A lot of energy, thought, creativity and time.
The main problem for the working woman is "how not to become a workaholic?" Included in
this global theme is the question of "do I become one?" On the one hand
on the one hand, this is probably the safest of all addictions: it gives rise to self-confidence, lust
for life, allows a woman to feel herself as an extraordinary person. But on the other hand,
"workaholism" leads to Workaholism leads to defects in the rest of her life, especially her
personal life, to stress, overstrain, a feeling of not being free and discomfort from this
dependence.
The second important problem is the unequal starting conditions in business for
for men and women. It is still relevant in our (and not only) culture. It is considered that business
is a man's business, women are not capable to lead, and being a leader is not a woman's business.
As a result, in order for a woman to get the same respect as a man, she needs to expend
2.5 times more effort than a man! This creates certain psychological problems.
If you feel the strength and potential to overcome all obstacles,
If you are ambitious and creative, you will undoubtedly succeed!

4. Complete the following passage using the, a/an or the zero article (–)
Issues for service providers Service providers face many obstacles selling services that goodssellers rarely face. Services are not tangible, making it difficult for potential customers to
understand what they will receive and what value it will hold for them. Indeed, some, such as
consulting and investment services, offer no guarantees of value for the price paid. Since the
quality of most services depends largely on the quality of the individuals providing the services,
it is true that “people costs” are a high component of service costs. Whereas a manufacturer may
use technology, simplification, and other techniques to lower the cost of goods sold, the service
provider often faces an unrelenting pattern of increasing costs. Differentiation is often difficult.
How does one choose one investment adviser over another, since they (and hotel providers,
leisure companies, and consultants, as well as many others) often seem to provide identical
services? Charging a premium for services is usually an option only for the most established
firms, who charge an extra based upon brand recognition
