StefanAVFC Posted June 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2015 Tomorrow I have to do a 3 minute presentation on why I want a career in sales. Any ideas (anyone in sales) what I should say that will catch the eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Give a member of the audience a piece of paper, then ask them to write down something, when they say they haven't got a pen, then you produce one from your jacket and say, I can sell you one. BOOM You're the new Wolf on Wall Street. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjaacckk91 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Anybody have any any experience of appealing against grades at University? Particularly the dissertation grade, just got mine back and was surprised to say the least that id only been awarded 35%. Looking at the marker feedback, my supervisor slated everything I did even though I'd gone above and beyond the many past dissertations id looked at in many areas, and only awarded me 35%. Yet the other marker found everything pretty much satisfactory, mentioned in some cases a lack of detail but not much more than that and awarded me 60%, obviously a huge disparity. Yet the overall agreed mark is 35%, how the feck does that work? Wouldn't even be too arsed if it was bumped up to 40% as at least that would mean I wasn't referred and had to do more work to it, not to mention print off and bind another 50 odd pages. Firstly I'd probably drop an email to your year head(or a senior lecturer you trust. I.e. not your supervisor), get their input see if it's worth it. But otherwise officially there is usually some kind of form to fill in, where you need to supply evidence. It'll give you a few basis on which you can appeal, so if I was you I'd Google your uni's appeal procedure see what options you have and appeal deadlines, but definitely try and get someone senior(ideally on the subjects exam board) on your side at the university to back/fight your case first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 something happend to him in the army but he wont say what it was, so maybe that could be the problem why hes so angry. his dad was not a great role model as he was a recruiter for the BNP and he got dragged to meetings and rally's when he was growing up. seriously though when hes sober hes just a normal quiet lad. All horrid but how that becomes boiling a kettle and pouring it over someone (and your brother, too)? Sos, mate. There's not a lot of places to go there. no excuses i know. doing that to someone is horrific regardless let alone your brother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 personally if i only drink and in drink too much i can get very aggresive if someone says anything wrong to me, tbf ive been known a few years back to be an absolute nightmare on alcohol alone. im not a good drunk once i pass a certain stage of being drunk.

mjmooney Posted June 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2015 Alcohol amplifies my mood. So if I'm pissed off I leave it alone, as it wouldn't cheer me up, it would make me feel worse. In good mood to start with though, fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) alcohol gave me confidence when i first started drinking, it was like this special stuff which made me feel good but having a short fuse at the best of times it quickly became a problem. got myself in some terrible situations but not all that i regretted. one time some bloke was with my cousin and he was knocking her about which i tried to keep out of but it kept happening so i thought i will have a talk to him but the day i was going out on the piss i read the local paper which had a little bit about the court case where he got accused of knocking her about. anyway it said in this article that after he beat her up this once he said to her that he hoped her gran would die of cancer, her gran was my gran and she was suffering with leukemia at the time so i rang her up to see if it was true and she said it was and she did not want to tell me because she knew what id be like. anyway i went out that night and i saw him in this pub and i was waiting for him to go toilet so i could have him, he knew i was on to him so he did not move an inch. anyway the sothern comfort had taken complete control by now and i was in no fit state to do anything with my fists so i grabbed a bar stool and smashed it over his head, i was covered in blood and he went to hospital having to have 15 stiches in his head. my only regret is that i never hit him harder with it, i dont class myself as a thug but if something needs doing then it needs doing and i dont regret that one bit. im more chilled these days but when your familyis being threatened or you get clearings in the woods making horrid remarks like that then violence is justified imo.

chrisp65 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Myself and another guy from the office just had a very frank and open discussion about pornography and men's habits and how tastes might change, the demise of the sex shop and what's readily available and what's a bit scary and all that. A full conversation around the subject. Not perving each other up, just a genuine chat about a normally fairly taboo subject. On finishing the conversation, it became obvious there were two female staff the other side of the partition. Ah well, all's good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I just took some documents over to somebody else's desk at work for a bit of help with something, but when I left I accidentally took this other person's documents with me. I didn't realise until they came over and asked if I had them. I also didn't realise I'd gotten them covered in chocolate. Oops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Whatever happened to the paperless office? that'll be the office I've been sat in this afternoon Unfortunately, somebody somewhere in Mexico kicked a cable out of a box and the interweb went off for about an hour, nobody could work, no voip, no drawing, no modelling, nothing can be stored on local drives, couldn't even fill in a time sheet or an expenses claim. I went out for a walk in the park. Stood behind a bush and had a little think about the man-machine Rugeley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
