2/2010

There are a lot of people who are celebrating this week that Obama persevered with Kennedy’s cause. It should be a lesson to all of us.

This lesson plan is based on an article that deals with the moral dilemma faced by many job seekers when it comes to applying for a new job: whether to embellish the truth on their CVs/résumés. It looks at the difficulties faced by both human resources departments and applicants and the consequences that may result from lying (and not lying) on a CV/résumé.

When you open up Business Spotlight 2/2010 you’ll find a new product inside. It’s a colourful and stylish 24-page vocabulary guide to help you to skill up — and it's called Skill Up!

Companies lie to employees. Politicians lie to the public. There’s nothing wrong with lying to get a job you know you can do. Is it ok because everyone does it anyway? But maybe your lies can stop you from getting the job you want and come back to haunt you.

A selection of ideas and suggestions for using Business Spotlight in your lessons. It is free to teachers who subscribe to our magazine.
