Resource Planning Manager: Assessment of Suitability for Home-based Working
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to assess the suitability of my position as Resource Planning Manager for home-based working.
Findings
My working pattern and that of my colleagues varies from week to week. During certain periods a large proportion of my time is spent doing fieldwork. This is followed by office-based work collating and recording the data collected. Once the results have been recorded, I proofread the colour copies of all reports and maps.
As regards communication with colleagues, department meetings are held once a fortnight. At all other times, the individual members of the team communicate either face-to-face or by phone, depending on their location. Apart from official meetings, the same results can be achieved whether I am in the office or working elsewhere.
Conclusion
It is clear that I would be able to undertake the same duties while working from home for a large proportion of my time. Clearly, some days would be spent in the office for face-to-face communication with colleagues. It would also be necessary to use the technical facilities of the office at times. However, in order to be able to work effectively from home, I would need to be provided with a networked computer and printer.
Recommendations
I would suggest that I should be given the necessary equipment to work partially from home for a trial period. After this time, further consultation should take place in order to reassess the situation.

Part I Objectives
· What you should know before negotiating
· 北美商务谈判须知
· Seven useful tactics in negotiation
· 谈判的七条战略
· Negotiation language focuses
· 谈判口语用法总结
Part II The How-Tos
What you should know before negotiating in US
Your business card will not be refused, but you may not always receive one in return. Try not to be offended--in the U.S., the rituals involved in exchanging business cards are sometimes not observed as closely as in other cultures.
The recipient of your card will probably place it into a wallet, which a man may put in the back pocket of his pants. This gesture is done for convenience and is not meant to be a sign of disrespect, as it might be in other cultures.
In many cases, business cards are not exchanged unless you want to contact the person later.
Usually, business is conducted at an extremely fast pace.
In a meeting, the participants will proceed with business after some brief, preliminary “small talk.”
Many Americans believe that their country is the most successful economic and democratic power, and assume that American ways are the “correct” ones. This attitude frequently leads to a lack of interest in or knowledge of other cultures.
Americans often know little of concepts such as “saving face” and the social niceties and formalities that are vitally important to other cultures.
The United States is a very ethnocentric culture, and so it is closed to most “outside” information. Thinking tends to be analytical, concepts are abstracted quickly, and the “universal” rule is preferred.
Regardless of the negotiator, company policy is always followed.
There are established rules for everything, and experts are relied upon at all levels.
The concept “time is money” is taken seriously in U.S. business culture, so always get to the point.
In the U.S.A., money is a key priority and an issue that will be used to win most arguments. Americans don't always realize that businesspeople from many other cultures rarely, if ever, sacrifice status, protocol, or national honour for financial gain.
In arguments, Americans will often emphasize their financial strength and/or indomitable position. Generally, they will use a majority vote unhesitatingly if they have it and will not spend much time seeking consensus. In many cases, they are willing to fire anyone jeopardizing their deal.
Americans regard negotiating as problem-solving through “give and take” based on respective strengths. They often are unaware that the other side may have only one position.
American businesspeople are opportunistic and willing to take chances. Opportunism and risk taking often result in Americans going for the biggest possible slice of the business, 100 % if possible.
U.S. salespeople sometimes bring final contracts to first meetings with prospective clients. In large firms, contracts under $10,000 can often be approved by one middle manager in a single meeting.
Be aware that the United States is the most litigious society in the world. There are lawyers who specialize in practically every industry and segment of society.
In negotiations, points are made by the accumulation of objective facts. This evidence is sometimes biased by faith in the ideologies of democracy, capitalism, and consumerism. The subjective feelings of the participants are not as much of a factor.
In general, people from the U.S. will not hesitate to answer “no.”
American businesspeople can be very blunt and will not hesitate to disagree with you. This approach often causes embarrassment to business travelers who are unaccustomed to dealing with Americans.
Although they are risk-takers, American businesspeople will have a financial plan which must be followed.
Often, American businesspeople try to extract an oral agreement at the first meeting.
Americans tend to dislike periods of silence during negotiations; they are used to making up their minds quickly and decisively.
Persistence is another characteristic you will frequently encounter in American businesspeople; there is a prevailing belief that there is always a solution. Moreover, they will explore all options when negotiations are at an impasse.
Anxiety often develops over deadlines and results. The work ethic is strong, so that it appears that Americans' lives revolve around work.
Refrain from discussing personal matters during business negotiations.
Consistency is another characteristic among American businesspeople: when they agree to a deal, they rarely change their minds.
Americans tend to be future oriented.
Innovation often takes precedence over tradition.
Golf is a popular sport, especially among businesspeople. Moreover, the golf course is often a venue for business discussions and deals.
Ethnic and social bias against some minorities does exist. Nevertheless, personal equality is guaranteed by law.
Traditional sex roles are changing rapidly, but women are still striving for equality in pay and positions of authority.
This culture stresses individual initiative and achievement. Moreover, Americans can also be very competitive in both work and leisure.
In the structure of the workplace, there is an inevitable inequality in employees' roles, but personal equality is guaranteed by law.
Although the United States is probably the most individualistic of all cultures, each employee is essentially replaceable in any workplace.
Outside of the office, Americans tend to be informal and insist on staying on a “first name basis.” Nevertheless, it's important to understand the office hierarchy, and a visitor should learn the rank and titles of all members of the organization.

BEC Higher 总结分享帖
并没有考完某个考试后写总结的习惯,但是在准备BEC高级的过程中的确经历许多滋味,也有一些后来人或许只会付之一哂的感受,另外,在备考过程在论坛下载了一些资料也看了一些前人的分享,所以在这里写下这篇感悟,权当对论坛的一份回馈,
知道论坛内高手云集,自己只是C,是没什么资格写分享的,但想到可能对将来的备考者有所贡献,就也斗胆写下此文了。
本人在11月参加BEC高级考试,大连外国语大学考点,成绩C,由于分项成绩还未公布,故不列述。
一直对自己英语水平比较有信心,六级考试分数640 ,所以刚开始并没把BEC高级放在眼里,尽管很多前辈都说bec和四六级很不同,还是耳朵很硬没当回事,开开心心和好友一起去报名,然后随便翻了翻考试中心的考生手册(报名后会发,剑桥考试中心出的),然后就没怎么把这事放在心上。
当时在网上搜到一篇一个北外学生的分享,说自己英语不错,最终拿到A,当下就感觉自己应该也是拿这个成绩的。可是不得不说,自己整个过程小看bec这只猛虎了,等到考前一个月左右自己开始着手复习时才始觉其凶猛,以致考前某段时间自己小小地焦虑了一下,为已成为沉没成本的600块大洋。
历来有个习惯,凡是备考用书,都不惜血本买正版的,教材和练习册等都是,这个不光顾学校门口“物美价廉”几可乱真的盗版书摊的动作主要是为了激励自己加油努力,取得好成绩,对得起付出的成本,于是报完名就花了100多块左右买了书,书单如下:新编剑桥商务英语(高级)学生用书(sample,有些我们看来觉得蛮不错的文章却得到蛮低的等级,一些我们觉得还好的文章反而是得分很高,而且看到一个人在网上写的分享说过了六级往往只能得到band3,还蛮受挫的,所以大家一定要相信自己,尽力做好就好,毕竟评分的细则我们也无法了解通透,写作部分我觉得新东方网络课堂讲得挺好的,还有一点或许有人觉得是废话,但是我发现四六级考试很多人犯了这个错误,就是平时不练习写作,其实写作部分并不是很难,只要稍加练习,任何基础水平的备考者都是很容易得分的,但是很多人都不练,导致分数不高,同时,由于自己所剩时间限制,索性将大作文锁定为report,专攻这一项,反正考试是3选1的,当然自觉这样并不可取啦,还是应该留下充足时间备考,备考过程更应该是个学习真知的过程,
备考资料
总体而言,高级阅读部分的题量蛮大的,听说一些人答不完,to be honest,练习做真题时,可能由于所剩时间不多,自己有点小焦虑,答不完的情况也不是没有的,但是正是考试时,由于比较兴奋,反而速度很快,而且感觉良好;写作过程也是不错,挺顺手的,不管神马英语考试,自己都有一个写作原则,就是干净整洁,尽量不涂抹,因为根据经验涂抹的代价并不仅仅损失印象分~~由于考试整个过程超长,只允许在写作期间用自己考试时间上厕所,写完作文发觉时间尚足,还上了个厕所。回来检查一遍,紧张情绪减少许多,感觉自己应该可以挑战A,唉~~不过啊,自我感觉良好往往是噩梦的开始……
果不其然,接下来听力考试完全是蒙了……备考时,我先把教材上的听力听了一遍,几乎都没错误,而且听说BEC教材和考试听力难度很接近,就大意了,结果最后做真题时发现错误率蛮高的,信心大丧啊~~可能也是有点紧张,最后两周做8套真题的过程,听力的错误率一直都挺高的。说实话,那段时间是我自从学习英语以来唯一的比较折磨的时期,真的语速太快了,那段时间意气风发地下载了BBC神马的,睡前听20分钟左右bbc新闻,娱乐时间也逼自己看一些英音的东西,简爱神马的。但是不得不说还是收效甚微,所以奉劝后来者,即使其他版块临时抱佛脚,也要提前练练听力,我是觉得自己栽在听力上了,直接导致考完心情都不太好。
由于下午的口语自己是在7:商务英语经验BEC高级A通过经验
查了BEC H的成绩,很惊讶地发现自己得了A,说实话,BEC考试那天状态不是很好,听听力的时候觉得没有像往常一样那么有信心,有些答案是不太确定的,所以没想过自己能得A,但是因为是英语专业的,所以在考试准备上可能比较沾光。考过CET4,650分以上,专四的成绩也还不错。
关于BEC
书和资料
看过大家论坛上很多帖子,也有很多牛人把自己用过的资料和书推荐给大家,我其实也没有什么可以补充的。我用的书目很简单,连教材都没有看过,专注于真题集2,3,4,还有人民邮电出的那本写作指南,口语的话也是从大家上找来的PASS必备口语手册,相信大家都能找到。另外补充的是我9月开始上了新东方的BEC高级班,所以有一份新东方的资料,还有写作老师给的范文什么的。
准备时间
我其实是从上新东方的那天开始准备BEC的,用了两个多月的时间。基本上从十月份开始我每天都要用一个半小时的时间做阅读题,一周写两次作文,每天坚持听听力。口语的练习我没有找Partner,最后两个星期的话我是每天早上起来就看一道口语题,然后就开始说,看看自己对待这个话题能说几个点,能用上多少专业的词汇,然后再看参考的答案,对比,熟读。
我觉得准备考试需要有一个计划。准备之前应该先了解清楚考试的基本信息,流程,时间,内容什么的大概有个了解。然后需要去评估一下自己听说读写四项中哪一项最弱,或者说哪一项需要准备的时间最长,这样子准备起来效率才会比较高。有许多材料的同学准备时间可能应该更长些,不然什么材料都只是随便看下的话效果可能不太理想。
准备内容
阅读
阅读的话在我看来主要是积累词汇短语还有保证速度,另外语法基础也要扎实一些,不然改错题有些麻烦。词汇积累的话看一些外刊杂志有帮助(比如Economist),我准备的时候因为比较怕麻烦,看这种长文章没什么耐心,所以我就把真题集里面的阅读题都仔细看了,然后把词汇和短语总结起来,还有一些近义词(题干里和文章里的对应词汇)都总结了一下,掌握了这些东西,后来发现对口语也有帮助,说起口语来显得专业了些。速度的话练习的时候多注意一下,最后一两个星期的时候练习阅读要一套一套地练,按照考试时间来练。做题的时候跳读的话会提高速度,我很多时候会先看题干,根据题干找文章对应点,比较快。改错和完型的话就要看语法基础了,有时间的话可以找本语法书看看,如果基础好的话就没问题。
听力
上新东方的时候我听老师说听力部分是很多同学都头疼的地方。我的听力在练习的时候一直比较好,反而是考试的时候自我感觉差了些。我觉得练听力是提高英语水平很好的方法,还可以顺便提高一下口语水平。我练习听力的话是一定要练到脱离原文的情况下把文章全部听懂,答案全都找到,所以一篇听力文章至少听过十遍吧,到后来对出题点好像都有了些模糊的感觉。练听力的话也可以看着原文跟着听力读,自己的速度如果能跟上的话,说明自己理解的差不多了,跟原文很像的话口语水平就上来了,
备考资料
我觉得BEC的听力比较考察逻辑和推理,所以听的时候注意力要集中。我一开始听到跟题目里相似的表达时会很开心,立刻选答案。后来我发现BEC听力有时候喜欢拐个弯,得理解整句,甚至整段话的意思才行。因为每天面对的都是英语,所以我准备考试的时候没有专门另外找材料来练习听力,但是个人觉得论坛里推荐的听力材料很好,大家有时间想提高听力的话拿来听也挺好的。听力的关键是一些连词,往往传达出了一些态度还有观点。
写作
写作的话我觉得跟其它考试的考察点差不多,可能多了一项是对businessEnglish词汇的掌握程度。我上新东方还有自己平时练习最大的感触是写作文应该言之有物,写出来的话最好不要太空泛,要有一点实质性的内容。此外,写作文应该有比较好的逻辑性,具体说就是整体结构,句子之间的链接和前后呼应,要用上连词,还有呼应性的词汇吧。此外,句子形式可以多样一些,词汇量大一点儿的话当然更好。我觉得背模板太多了也不好,因为这样容易跟其他人相似。平常看阅读题的时候发现好的表达都可以积累下来,变成自己的东西,写文章的时候用出来效果也还不错。
口语
口语跟写作都是表达个人的观点,所以我觉得口语跟写作有些时候要求差不多,逻辑性还有实质内容都很重要。练习每个题目的时候最好要想两至三个点,并且每个点之间要有一定的联系,能被串联起来。平时练习的时候用上从听力和阅读中总结出来的专业词汇,这些词汇在考试中都会给自己加分的。说话速度也不一定要很快,稍微磕绊应该也没有太大的问题。练习的次数多了说的自然会顺一些。如果考点可以找partner,提前找好,两人练习下时间控制什么的当然好。我考试的地方不能自选partner,我和partner是考口语前20分钟的时候才开始熟悉,我们就大概定了一下时间怎么分配,谁先说什么的就去了。平时练习的话自己说给自己听也挺好,看看自己说的和书上的差距,看看书上的答案有什么逻辑。这样收获还挺大的。
真题
我这次考BEC(月)后,觉得样题集和真正考试之间也是有一定差距的。比方说这次考试的时候,听力部分8:商务英语BEC高级课文辅导

V. Oral Practice
Training Opportunities
l How important is it to you to be offered opportunities for training in a job?
参考答案:
It’s very important because ongoing training can guarantee that employees have necessary skills to meet the requirements of the job.
l What do you think makes a training course effective?
参考答案:
First, a qualified and experienced teacher can make the course effective. A further factor is to satisfy staff needs.
(location, materials, audio-visual aids)
l How do you think employees should be selected to attend training courses?
参考答案:
All new staff should receive orientation programme to facilitate their job. For ongoing training, HR Department can carry out opinion surveys among staff to include as many staff as possible.
l Do you think employees should contribute towards the cost of training?
(Should employees pay some of the cost of their training?)
参考答案:
I don’t believe so. Many big name companies now make full use of training as motivation. This will help retain staff and enhance staff loyalty to the company. So I reckon that companies not employees should contribute towards the cost.
Teamwork
l Do you prefer working on your own or as a member of a team?
参考答案:
I prefer to work in a team. Teamwork means that team members can swap ideas and offer help.
l Which do you think are more effective, small teams or larger teams?
参考答案:
I think small teams are very effective. Small teams can ensure better communication and fighting spirits.
l Do you think teams always need to have a leader?
参考答案:
Yes, I believe so. A team leader can allocate roles, chair regular meetings and set targets for the team.
l Do you think it is important for a team to have regular meetings?
参考答案:
Definitely. At regular meetings, team members can swap ideas and ensure the flow of information.
