Jobs and job positions

There are a lot of abbreviations for top leadership positions that contain the words “Chief and Officer” in the title. It may be confusing to keep the players straight. It may help to explain that a corporate officer holds a management-level position, such as a President, Vice President, or General Manager. Other common positions include:

·         CEO – Chief Executive Officer – This person is the highest ranking corporate officer.  They are the head of management for an organization.  They report to the board of directors. They make high-level decisions about policy and strategy.  The people that report to the CEO include:  The CBDO (Chief Business Development Officer), CFO (Chief Financial Officer), COO (Chief Operating Officer), CMO (Chief Marketing Officer), CIO (Chief Information Officer), CCO (Chief Communications Officer), CLO (Chief Legal Officer), CTO (Chief Technology Officer), CRO (Chief Risk Officer), CCO (Chief Creative Officer), CCO (Chief Compliance Officer), CAE (Chief Audit Executive), CDO (Chief Diversity Officer), and CHRO (Chief Human Resources Officer).  Steve Jobs was an example of a top CEO.  To find out more about these other chief officer positions, click here.  Check out:  The Best Performing CEO’s in the World.

·         COO – Chief Operating Officer – This person is responsible for the day to day operations or an organization.  Not all companies have one.  In 2006 more than 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies did not have a COO.  This person may also be called the company’s President.  This person could be thought of as the second in command behind the Chairman or CEO.  An example of a top COO is:  Tim Cook was the COO for Apple before replacing Steve Jobs as CEO. Check out: List of Famous Chief Operating Officers.

·         CFO – Chief Financial Officer – This person manages the corporation’s financial risk.  They deal with data analysis, financial planning and record keeping.  Although they report to the CEO, they may also sit on the board of directors.  Peter Oppenheimer is Apple’s CFO.  Check out:  Bonus Babies . . . The Best Paid CFO’s.

·         CMO – Chief Marketing Officer – This person is the head of sales, product development and all things marketing-related.  The CMO can report to either the CEO or COO. Their job is to obtain growth through sales and marketing.  The CMO has become more commonly discussed in recent years.  Check out:  The Chief Marketing Officer . . . A new Boardroom Role.

·         CIO – Chief Information Officer – This person is the head of information technology.  They may report to the CEO, CFO or COO.  They must create strategic goals to increase information accessibility and manage integrated systems.  The CIO and CTO roles are often confused.  Check out:  What is the Difference Between CIO and CTO.

There may be other chief officers’ positions in other industries as well.  For example in hospitals there could be a CMO (Chief Medical Officer), a CNO (Chief Nursing Officer) and a CMIO (Chief Medical Informatics Officer).

Crazy Jobs Around The World You Won’t Believe Actually Exist

As kids, we've always been asked this question and our mad-cap answers answers have made our parents smile. But little did they know that most of what we said were actually full-fledged professions (there's even a job where you have to sleep).

Here's a list of 21 such crazy jobs across the globe that you will not believe exist:

1. Professional Pusher

Japan is indeed a hardworking nation. It makes sure that all its people reach work on time and that's why Japan has employed people to push others onto trains so that nobody's late for work. I love this country!

2. Rental Boyfriend

In Tokyo, if you have the money, finding a boyfriend is as easy as it gets. I don't really know what all the boyfriend will do, but it sure sounds fun. I'll be shifting to Tokyo the day the Japanese come up with the concept of 'Rental Girlfriends'.

3. Professional Stand-In-Liner

As long as there are queues in the world, Narabiyas (Japanese for stand-in-liners) will never be out of fashion. These freelancers will happily wait in long queues for you as long as you pay them some money.

4. Professional Sleeper

My first reaction when I came across this job was... Wow! You actually get paid to... Sleep! Professional Sleepers doze off while scientists conduct research on sleep disorders. This has to be undoubtedly the most comfortable job on the planet.

5. Wedding Guest

This is a part-time job in Japan where people double up as wedding guests. Don't believe me? Here's an ad. Ask a Japanese friend to translate and you'll know. Apart from the money, they also get free food.

6. Vomit Cleaner

Some roller coasters dip, rise and turn at such crazy angles that your breakfast is bound to come out the wrong way. Amusement park owners knew this fact and thus this job came into being.

Q. Why would anyone do this job? A. Free rides.

7. Deodorant Tester

You have a habit of poking your nose into other people's business. Well, these people poke their noses into other people's armpits to test the odour-fighting powers of deodorants. Now that's what you call a stinking job.

8. Water Slide Tester

All play and no work makes Jack a dull boy. Not in this case, because Jack's work involves a lot of playing in water. Water Slide Testers have to check all aspects of safety and make sure these rides are absolutely safe. There's always medical insurance for those who break a bone or two.

9. Paper Towel Sniffer

Paper towel manufacturers leave no stone unturned (loosely translated to leave no roll unsniffed) in ensuring that their rolls don't smell foul before, during and after use. How do they check for any unwanted smell after use? Gross!

10. Chicken Sexer

Sure, there are chics involved, but still there's nothing sexy about this job. A chicken sexer's job is to identify the gender of a baby chicken. That's about it.

11. Professional Cuddler

If you happen to be in Japan and are missing your girlfriend, just shell out some cash and you get to cuddle and sleep next to a Japanese woman. Just cuddle, mind you.

12. Pet Food Taster

Whoever came up with this job must be a true-blue animal lover or someone who likes to chew weird-tasting food. Do animals and humans have similar taste buds?

13. Professional Mourner

You'll need these mourners if nobody gave a damn about you when you were alive. It's sad that you won't be able to see them mourn for you because you'd be in the coffin.

14. Cuidacarro

You'll meet a cuidacarro when you park your car in Costa Rica. His job isn't as complicated as it sounds. All a cuidacarro does is watch your car when you are gone so that nobody steals it (unless he himself has taken a fancy to it).

15. Furniture Tester

As long as the furniture's not made of cactus, this job's pretty cool. You have to sit, wriggle and sleep on the furniture to asses its comfort. This job is so cool that it's weird.

16. Wrinkle Chaser

The name says it all. Wrinkle chasers make sure there are no creases on shoes when they are whisked out of the factory. Yeah, I said that right - shoes . How else do you think those high-heels look so classy?

21. Bicycle Fishers

Amsterdam is the most bicycle friendly capital city of the world. It's no surprise then that a lot of these two-wheelers end up in one of the canals, thus giving rise to another profession - the bicycle fisher. Each year Amsterdam fishes out around 14,000 rusty bikes from its waterways.

A presentation with genially

You will have to create a presentation using Genially. For that, follow these links to get help.
The presentation should be about any aspect related to the environment.
Ask for help if you need any.

Genially tutorial

Web de ayuda para crear un Genially

Stages to do a Genially in class

• Present a plan which shows clearly the staging of the activities that the students used to prepare the project (e.g. Stage 1. Choose topic and establish groups; 2) choose modality of Genially…)

1. First, we were dealing with the issue of environment and environmental problems so they decided to to a genially on how to recycle better.

2. The small groups looked on a suitable source of information, and they decided on an article each. As we don’t always have access to the computer room, they finally reached an agreement and decided to do something about recycling. 

3, For that, they were investigating on the different templates, as they did not have any previous experience on Genially and they chose a quiz. We also watched a tutorial which I uploaded on the blog.

4. Again in the small groups, they chose one question each (they are 20 students organised in 5 groups of 4 people). They also had to search for images and the way to write them for the quiz.

5. Then, one representative of each group was chosen as a spokesperson because they had to decide on common things such as the background, the same way to answer the questions, etc,

6. Finally, the representatives did the presentation while the rest of the groups decided on how to present it orally. Each group had to talk about why was everything chosen and how they reached agreements.

7. Last but not least, the spokespeople did the presentation in class and decided that every person in every group should go to other groups of the ESO and Bachillerato students to introduce their presentation,

• Comment on how decisions were taken as to the grouping of students and timings of the process.

The decisions all had to be made within the groups and quite quickly, as we only had two hours in this particular subject to do it. There was a timer set on the computer and although it was quite stressful, they also learnt to organise their time better.

• A sample of any additional materials you used (handouts, project planners etc.)

A handout of the article https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=2ahUKEwjW27DvsYrmAhUK8hQKHQGrBLAQFjAAegQIAhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2018%2F05%2F29%2Fclimate%2Frecycling-wrong-mistakes.html&usg=AOvVaw3_6bBhWLCjOHLU7G08NLSe

They also downloaded the best images they found. Some were from Genially, some were from the web, trying to choose free images.

• Links to the projects realised by your students (you can choose the best ones to upload)

https://view.genial.ly/5dd7f04351a61a0f71d6f86d/learning-experience-challenges-recycling

• Video, Audio and/or photos of the presentations.

There was no video. Only the photographs seen in the presentation.

• Lastly, do not forget to reflect on how the use of the tool has optimised your students’ learning experience and has helped you achieve the objectives. Would you change anything?

They were not aware of this type of interactive presentations with Genially and they quickly loved the idea of doing something with it. Again, as in the other activities in this course, the limited use of computers we have makes everything a little harder.

Compound adjectives

Compound Adjectives

A compound adjective is sometimes called a hyphenated adjective. What are they?

Let's look at the following sentences:

• I saw a man-eating alligator.
• I saw a man eating alligator.

The first sentence contains a compound adjective.

The second sentence doesn't.

However the meaning of the two sentences are very different as can be seen in the picture below:

I saw a man-eating alligator.

We are describing the alligator. What type of alligator is it? It is one that eats men (or people).

I saw a man eating alligator. 

This sentence without the hyphen sounds like a man is eating an alligator. 

(man is the subject, eating is the verb, alligator is the object or thing that is being eaten).

As you can see, the hyphen (or lack of it) makes a big difference in the meaning of the sentence.

Before we explain in more detail why we put that hyphen between those two words in the first sentence, we need to do a quick review of Adjectives.

Compound adjectives

A compound adjective is an adjective that contains two or more words.

In general we put a hyphen between two or more words (before a noun) when we want them to act as a single idea (adjective) that describes something.

• I live in an English-speaking country.

English-speaking is an adjective (used to describe the country). We use a hyphen to connect the wordEnglish with speaking to show that it is one adjective (or one idea).

This adjective with two words joined by the hyphen is called a compound adjective.

Some more examples of compound adjectives are:

• Our office is in a twenty-storey building.
• I have just finished reading a 300-page book.
• He is a well-known writer.

There are many types of Compound Adjectives. Here is a list of the most common types:

Compound Adjectives + Periods of Time

When he have compound adjectives using numbers + a time period, that word referring to a time period is in singular form and is joined to the number with a hyphen.

• I work eight hours every day --> I work an eight-hour day
• I'm going on vacation for three weeks --> I have a three-week vacation
• There was a delay of 5 seconds --> There was a five-second delay

Notice how we normally write the number as a word, not in numerical form.

Adverb + Past Participle

However when we have an Adverb + past participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

• This is a brightly-lit room.
• She is a well-known actress.
• We live in a densely-populated city.

Noun + Past Participle

When we have a noun + past participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

• We should start using wind-powered generators to cut costs.
• I love eating sun-dried raisins.

Noun + Present Participle

When we have a noun + present participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

• I bought some mouth-watering strawberries.
• That was a record-breaking jump.

Noun + Adjective

When we have a noun + adjective, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

• She is a world-famous singer.
• This is a smoke-free restaurant.

Adjective + Noun

When we have an adjective + noun, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

• It was a last-minute decision.
• We watched the full-length version of the movie.

Adjective + Past Participle

When we have an adjective + past participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

• That is an old-fashioned dress
• Reptiles are cold-blooded creatures.

Adjective + Present Participle

When we have an adjective + present participle, we put a hyphen between the two words to make it a compound adjective.

• She is a good-looking girl.
• It left a long-lasting taste in my mouth.

Compound Adjectives with Proper Nouns

A proper noun is the name of something or someone (e.g. John, Susan Sanders).

Compound Adjectives made from Proper nouns don't need a hyphen though must have capital letters.

• I bought the James Jackson tickets for us.

James Jackson is a compound adjective describing the tickets (What type of tickets? James Jackson tickets). Since the adjective is a Proper noun, we don't need a hyphen between the two names.

How do we know when to put a hyphen?

If you can use the word “and” between the two adjectives or words, then a hyphen isn't necessary.

• She has a big blue book.

(Big and Blue are adjectives)

Can we say: She has a big and blue book. (Yes, it is possible)

• He is a world famous singer

Can we say: He is a world and famous singer. No, it doesn't sound correct so we need a hyphen to join the words world and famous.

Also, look at the following:

• It's an old coal-mining town

Notice how we didn't put a hyphen between the word old and coal. If we had have done that, we would have been referring to old coal, as in coal that is old. We want to emphasis that the town in old and not the coal.

Here we can say it is old and a coal-mining one.

Adverbs and Compound Adjectives

Adverbs modify a verb.

• She walks slowly.

How does she walk? Slowly. Slowly is an adverb that modifies (or describes) the verb.

Adverbs can also be used to modify an adjective.

• It is very hot today. (Very is an adverb)
• She is extremely intelligent. (Extremely is an adverb)

Notice how we do not put a hyphen between an adverb and an adjective (not even before a noun).

• It is a very hot day.
• She is an extremely intelligent girl.
