Note: If your job posting happens to be for your future career, you may include the required experiences in your letter. Also, we will be using Turnitin Submissions to check for plagiarism. Directions: In your cover letter, you should:Be as clear as possible about the kind of opportunity you seek.Show that you understand the company and the position.Never volunteer salary information unless an employer asks for it.Keep it short—no more than three or four paragraphs.Show some personality and include keywords found in the job post.Project confidence without being arrogant.Don’t just repeat the information from your résumé.Note: Application letter is the same as a Cover letter.A solicited application letter is in response to an announced job opening and you’ll usually know what qualifications the organization is seeking.An unsolicited application letter is sent to an organization that has not announced an opening, so you’ll need to do some research to identify the requirements the position is likely to have.Tips: Because application letters are persuasive messages, please use the AIDA (pg#226) approach to organize them.The opening paragraph of your application letter has two important tasks to accomplish:Clearly stating your reason for writingGiving the recipient a reason to keep reading by demonstrating that you have some immediate potential for meeting the company’s needsTo build interest and create a desire in the middle section of your application letter, try to:Be specific and back up your assertions with convincing evidence.Be sure to discuss each requirement specified in the ad (if you’re writing a solicited letter).Mention salary requirements only if the organization has asked you to state them.Refer the reader to your résumé by citing a specific fact or general point covered there.The final paragraph of your application letter has two important functions:To ask the reader for a specific action (usually an interview)To facilitate a replyTo motivate action, you should:Offer to come to the employer’s office (or its nearest representative) at a convenient time.Include your email address and phone number, as well as the best time to reach you, or you could take the initiative and say that you will follow up with a phone call.
solved Situational Cases for PharmacistAnswer the following cases using your knowledge
/in /by adminSituational Cases for PharmacistAnswer the following cases using your knowledge on the practice of Pharmacy. The cases being evaluated are base on your decision as a future Pharmacist if being situated on the following scenario.1. Mikasa and Eren Hill have 4 children, all under the age of 7 years, 3 of whom have a congenital heart defect requiring medication use. Without these medications there is a 75% risk of death within the next year; with use of these medications, this risk drops to 15%. Side effects of this medication are relatively benign and readily managed. The Hill’s belong to a recognized religious group that firmly believes in “noninterference†even in life-threatening medical conditions. Although insurance will pay for the medications, the Hills don’t believe they should interfere with fate. Under pressure from Eren’s employer (a family friend), they have visited a physician, received prescriptions and come to the pharmacy to get them filled. Your pharmacy assistant has overheard them speaking and learned they actually have absolutely no intention of administering the medications to their children and have had the prescriptions filled simply to placate Eren’s employer. Your pharmacy assistance shares this information with you immediately prior to your counselling session with the Hills.2. Nathan Drake is a pharmacist working in a busy community practice. He has an excellent rapport with his patients and provides effective patient-centered care. Recently, his brother Samuel ‘Sam’ Drake told him about a girl he just met. Sam has been dating (unsuccessfully) for many years and is very keen on meeting someone, settling down and starting a family. Nathan is thrilled for Sam, as the 2 cousins are very close. Sam’s new girlfriend is called Elena Fisher. From what Nathan is told by Sam, Elena is a sweet and sensitive fellow. Nathan has also seen a few pictures of Elena and she appears to be a strapping young woman. Today in the pharmacy, Nathan received a prescription for antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV. These prescriptions are for “Elena Fisher.†The person presenting the prescriptions looks very similar to the photographs Sam has shown Nathan, but Nathan is not 100% certain it is the same person. What should Nathan do?*Your assignment submission should be concise. It should contain proper grammar, be free of spelling errors, and reflect critical thinking.

/in /by adminwork on this discussion forum, carefully read and review Chapters 7, 8, and 9 in the course textbook, review the Change Designs (Links to an external site.) website, and watch the How Can You Influence Others? video.
Let’s have some fun during this week’s discussion. Prior to beginning the response to the discussion, familiarize yourself with the activities that occur during the various types of change intervention. Consider the variables of working with leaders versus teams, groups, or the entire organization. Once you have a solid understanding of how inventions look and the requirements to successfully deploy an OD interaction, you can move forward to the actual research for the discussion post.
There are numerous companies that develop and market support tools and activities for learning and development. There are tools for individual, team, group, and organizational activities. Your job is to first decide on the type of intervention you will facilitate. Then, you will search online for a tool to use during your intervention.
Refer to the table below for guidance during your search:
DO
DO NOTDo decide on a specific type of intervention.Do not decide on a specific change.Do research various companies and the tools they offer for development and collaboration.Do not select the first thing you find. Be choosy and understand how the process works and if it fits your needs for interaction.Do select a tool that will work well with your intervention choice.Do not select a process that is beneath or above the understanding level of the audience.
*******For your initial post*****
1)Identify your selected intervention.
2)Explain why you chose that type of intervention.
3)Describe the tools and activities selected to facilitate the interaction.
4)Determine how you will use the tools and activities.Â

/in /by adminParagraph #1: Introduction.Describe the scene/setting of the interview. Introduce/describe the person you are interviewing.Introduce the topic of the essay.Thesis – Dominant Impression – last sentence in the introduction.Paragraphs #2-4: Body paragraphs.- Begin each of these paragraphs with a topic sentence that aligns with the dominant impression. – Vary quotes and paraphrases, pulled from your interview. – Remember the quote sandwich! – Always begin and end body paragraphs with YOUR writing voice (not a quote or paraphrase). – Try to keep each body paragraph centered on ONE main idea. – Don’t forget to include descriptive details that allow your reader to SEE as well as HEAR your interview.- Aim for 3 well-developed body paragraphs.Paragraph #5: Conclusion.- Tie together the ideas/details you’ve already presented in your essay. – How might you reiterate (but NOT repeat) your dominant impression of your interviewee?- What’s one key idea you want your reader to know or understand after reading your essay?- What’s one really important quote you might end with? (NOTE: in academic essays, it’s best to keep quotes and paraphrases out of the conclusion.)Conducting the Interview (READ)Step 1: Brainstorm the PERSON/PURPOSE of your interview. Who do you want to interview, and why? What do you want to find out from this person? Remember to be specific with your topic. (For example, if I were interested in interviewing my friend who loves to travel, I might focus my questions on ONE specific trip my friend took to a specific place.)Step 2: Schedule the interview. Once you have chosen the person to interview, and you’ve narrowed down a topic, then you must contact that person and make an appointment for the interview. Ask your interviewee if they’re comfortable being interviewing on the topic you chose. You may want to have a conversation with your interviewee to help you make a final decision on the right topic. (I may want to interview my friend about her recent trip to Spain, but she may be more interested in talking about her trip to China — that’s ok!)Step 3: Write the interview questions. I recommend being prepared with a minimum of 15 interview questions that are focused on your topic. Make the questions clear and interesting, and keep them all focused on ONE topic. Questions that are well-phrased and thoughtful will produce answers that you will be able to actually use

/in /by adminA #2: Rhetorical Analysis InstructionsPurposeAmericans are constantly bombarded by political rhetoric, particularly during election years. Presidential elections are hotly disputed. We still have many examples of political campaigning fresh in our memories. Much of this rhetoric seems empty and meaningless; what does it mean to say that “I’m for America,” or “I’m running on a platform of family values?” The purpose of this project is to help you learn about political rhetoric. You will learn to identify the different types of appeals, analyze political jargon, and consider how politicians use rhetoric to influence voters. A good understanding of political rhetoric is an absolute necessity for citizens in a democracy.This project is designed to help you learn about classical and modern rhetorical concepts like the three appeals (ethos, logos, and pathos), audience, and identification.Assignment DetailsFirst, visit The Livingroom Candidate website and browse the political commercials Use this link and pick Mitt Romney vs Barack Obama year 2012 as your chosen comercial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (http://www.livingroomcandidate.org). You can also use a commercial from YouTube or othersite for a political ad, but I recommend the Livingroom Candidate because it provides some context and background information on the commercial that you may find helpful.Your 1,000-1,500 word essay should do the following:1.DESCRIBE the commercial and its historical/political context2.DETERMINE the intended audience3.IDENTIFY the types of appeals and issues addressed in the commercial4.EVALUATE the effectiveness of the commercial.The commercial will be your PRIMARY source; you also need at least two other SECONDARY sources to support your arguments or supply additional material.
