Job interviews can be unreliable when it comes to hiring for a particular job role. in-tray exercise are designed in order to understand how a potential employee will handle a set of tasks that they’re likely to encounter on a typical work day.
An in-tray exercise is a simple simulation of tasks and responsibilities that an employee has to handle on a day to day basis. The person doing the exercise plays the role of the employee and deals with the tasks assigned.

English is the most widely used language in the world today. Need we say more to encourage you to learn English. It’s the only ‘international’ language in the true sense of the term, and it’s a fact that learning English can open a world of opportunities for a person.
First of all, a large part of the information industry uses English. This means a wealth of knowledge and information on the internet is available in English and a large amount of books are available in English.
It is considered the international language of communication. So much so, that if two people from different language speaking countries meet at an airport for a business meeting, one instinctively expects that they will communicate in English! (more...)

Very little else looks as good on the road as the BMW X5, or drives that well, for that matter. It is one of the best looking cars in its range. It manages to retain its curves and blended angles while having amazing road presence, unlike some vehicles in its class which rely more on their rugged looks.
The inside of the vehicle doesn’t fall back. Functionality is excellent and you soon get comfortable with BMW’s iDrive system. In fact, although the system has managed to get a reasonable amount of negative reports, using it soon becomes intuitive and definitely a pleasure to use!
It depends on the individual vehicle of course, but all other things being equal, a well used bmw x5 is undoubtedly worth its value. Used BMW x5s are likely to cost somewhere around 45,000 pounds, on average, but prices may vary from seller to seller and car to car. (more...)
Multiple agendas appear to be at play in the Smart Grid space. Two clear threads run through it that I can see:
1) the utilities see the need for dedicated wireless spectrum to allow them to advance their distribution and workforce automation goals and perhaps as a way to ensure reasonable cost access to metering data (either collector backhaul or direct to meter).
2) recent entrants to the space (Google, Intel, CISCO, etc etc) see metering data (and the applications that access to that data would enable) as the holy grail of the Smart Grid . (more...)
