The Graphic design learner has to develop some competencies, attitudes and behavioral traits that would enable him or her to be very proficient in his chosen career or field of study. These attitudes and behavioral patterns do not come by chance. The amateur Graphic artist or learner has to cultivate these traits as he undertakes his projects patiently and with the greatest care. Some of these competencies, attitudes, and behaviors have been discussed below.

1. Ability to observe- The learner has to develop the ability to make critical and serious observation and examination of things in the environment with the view of making an accurate or precise representation of the object or form. It includes the critical observation of linear patterns, variations of shapes, textures, gradation or tones of colours of natural and manmade objects found in the environment.

2. Ability to use memory and imagination to derive and develop ideas- This is the learner’s ability to use his or her own imagination to create things without resorting to copying from already existing items. He should cultivate the attitude of brainstorming new and relevant ideas that can be used in creating useful Graphic products.

3. Ability to pre-image/ visualize and make designs of items- The learner should be able to use his senses especially the sense of sight to foresee or visualize how the idea imagined can be used in creating designs which in turn can be translated into items.

4. Ability to translate ideas and paper designs into three-dimensional items to solve problems or satisfy an identified need using the design and technology process- Designs are two-dimensional in form or flat. These paper designs are often generated into three-dimensional forms. The learner has to be able to meticulously follow the steps in the design and technology process to produce functional items. He should have the mastery to be able to translate designs on paper into free standing items.

5. Dexterity and creative use of tools, equipment and a variety of materials- This refers to the efficient use of the tools and materials. This involves the correct handling of the tools to execute the work. The learner has to understand the nature and feel of the tools and materials so that he can use them appropriately to give the right effect in the artwork.

6. Application of knowledge and understanding to constant practice for proficiency and perfection- The learner should ultimately aim at achieving perfection in the various techniques of artistic production. He should be able to consistently apply the knowledge that he had acquired through constant practice to produce items with great proficiency or skill.

7. Creativity, originality in thinking and end products- The young Graphic artist must make it his or her hallmark to produce items that are original in design, form, colour etc. His ability to create new things should be evident in his thinking as well as in the final products he makes.

8. Ability to respond to an artwork by using knowledge and skills in perception, appreciation, criticism, judgement, evaluation and aesthetics- The learner must have the ability of quickly responding to artworks he comes into contact with. He should be able to apply his senses well in talking intelligently about the aesthetic qualities of the work. He must be able to evaluate, appreciate and criticize an artwork using the knowledge and skills that he has amassed.

9. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills, healthy competition, good human relations, etc. – The learner must also be able to think in concrete terms and always ready to bring out ideas that can solve pertinent problems faced by individuals in the society. He should be able to engage in competitions and exhibitions of Graphic arts held in the school, society or country. He must partake with a clean and clear motives of improving on his skills while learning and taking inspiration from the works of other Graphic artists.

10. Demonstration of human and moral behavior in thinking, feeling and acting e.g. honesty, commitment, self-discipline/respect, diligence, patience, tolerance, teamwork, etc. – There are some moral or behavioral traits that the learner must strive hard to cultivate. These include honesty, respect, diligence, patience, tolerance, and teamwork. People would like to have business transactions with an honest and respectful person. The learner has to be patient and tolerant to be able to absorb the pressures from clients which may sometimes be irritating or annoying. As a learner, he must also be ready to work with other people to achieve the same goal. This quality would enable him to work in a broader working environment such as in an industry or factory. In today’s working environment, teamwork is really essential for the success of any enterprise.

11. Portfolio of works- The learner has to cultivate the attitude of keeping a portfolio of his creative works either in hard or soft copies. This would enable him to enhance and improve upon his creative works every time.

12. Ability to perform tasks with little or no supervision- The learner should be able to perform his assigned work with little or no supervision. He must strive very hard to work independently with or without a tutor around. This would assist him to develop his skills at a relatively faster rate.

13. Self-learning/evaluation for improvement- The learner must be experimental, trying to learn new things on his own without being instructed to do so by a teacher or supervisor. He should explore new methods and techniques of achieving already existing production methods and techniques. It should be his or her attitude to try using the tools and materials readily available in the environment to produce meaningful and useful artefacts. Also, he should periodically self-evaluate himself by comparing his previous and current works for the purposes of knowing the mistakes in them and improving upon them.

14. Perseverance – The learner must show fighting spirit in attending to his creative works. He shouldn’t give up in his attempt to produce a difficult product or challenging exercise. He must not shy away from handling difficult artistic Graphic design products.

15. Time-management- The learner must be able to manage his time very efficiently. He should be time bound or time conscious in producing his artefacts. He should be able to meet deadlines set for producing works.

16. Work ethics- This refers to the accepted work behavior and attitudes expected of a Graphic artist. These accepted working behaviors include neatness, cleanliness, accuracy, and precision which are the hallmark of a good Graphic artist. The learner must be determined to display these work ethics in his artistic productions.

17. Self-confidence- The learner must be very confident when attending to his duties. He must not exhibit signs of fear. He should trust in his abilities, qualities or ideas. This would make it easier for him to gain the mastery over his artistic creations.

18. Communication skills- The learner must know how to communicate well with people. Cultivating these communication skills would enable him to communicate effectively with clients. People will certainly like to do business with people who speak politely than those whose manner of communicating pierces as if with a sword.

Gone are the days of getting a well fit, well-compensated position simply by attending college after high school. Not only has entrepreneurship risen so drastically in the last 20 years, unconventional opportunities for gainful employment are also plentiful. Ditch the old paradigms and adopt some of these new ideas to get the most of your job search and find work where you’re not only valued and appreciated, but well-compensated to match.

1. Apply for positions you think you’re unqualified for.

These days quality work ethic is just as hard to find in an applicant than the desired credentials for a position. With more companies and their owners striving to work smarter, not harder, they know how costly turnover can be and they are willing to invest time and training into a promising candidate. Do not sell your character short! Lead with your relevant experience and training, and express both your coachability and commitment to an employer who will invest in you.

2. Apply for positions that aren’t open.

The best company owners and managers will tell you “we’ll always make room for a good employee to come on board”. Don’t wait for the perfect position to open, or be advertised publicly. Dress to impress and bring your resume to them whether or not an open position was advertised. It may be your stopping in that pushes them to evaluate their current staff and fire a derf to make room for you, or create a position that utilizes your talent and experience.

3. Widen your search to national companies that may entertain remote positions.

Have a dream job in mind, but it’s working for an out of state company? Don’t write it off as a pipe dream just yet. Visit their website and scroll to the bottom of the homepage, and look for an employment link. If no remote positions are advertised or listed, make your own open door by sending a resume and cover letter to the email address of a hiring manager. Be sure to inform them of your location and how you are proficient in programs that will make training and correspondence with you a breeze.

4. Consider careers without required college credentials.

There are many careers that require education higher than a high school diploma, but less than a college degree. Most are part of a certification programs or apprenticeships. Some of these professions include funeral arranging, real estate, plumbing, electric, tree service, personal caring or nursing assistance.

5. Look for better opportunities when you’re employed.

The best time to look for a perfect fitting job is while you’re still employed. When we are job searching and unemployed, we are directing a different vibe toward our potential employers. Our energy is often tainted by past disappointment and fear, insecurity or doubt, and sometimes worse, our desperateness. While still employed, we have a unique opportunity to take advantage of our current confidence and security. While your commitment to your current employer is commendable, it’s often unreturned and you should never deprive you and yours the opportunity for a brighter future. The best employers will understand. If they can’t find respect for that, that should only confirm you can find a better fitting position elsewhere.

We walk into an interview with the unspoken assumption that the employer knows we want the job. Except for practice interviewing or cold calling, we put out the time and energy for an interview because we think the position is worthwhile and will be a good fit.

The employer may be interviewing many people for one position and has to weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate in a very short period of time. Quickly jotted interview notes reveal doubts about certain applicants and positive aspects of others. Whatever position is involved, from unskilled work to professional or managerial posts, employers overwhelmingly seek one major attribute: they seek to hire someone who really wants the position.

If you are unemployed (head hunter or promotional positions provide a little more bargaining room), you need to make it crystal clear that you want the job, that you are committed to do whatever it takes, and that you are eager for the chance to perform, to please, and to exceed all expectations that have been outlined.

Often, applicants are afraid to seem too eager, thinking that the employer will think that they are desperate and consequently that the salary offered will be lower. They play coy, stating that they need to think about it, that they have other irons in the fire, or that they are weighing different job offers. A lack of enthusiasm when pay and benefits are mentioned, or a lackluster response to the position’s details, rarely results in a positive response.

Hiring managers or company owners believe that what they are offering is a gift that anyone with sense would snap up in an instant. If the applicant seems ambivalent about the offer, it subconsciously suggests that maybe this position isn’t good enough. The manager/interviewer vaguely senses that their own choice in working for this company may be regarded as a mistake.

Ask directly for the job, even if you’re unsure about it. Display unabashed enthusiasm for this position, with this company, at this time, and make it clear to the interviewer that you want to start right away, eager to prove your skills and competence.

More than one hiring decision has been determined by who seemed to want the job the most – a classic marker of those who will work hard and produce. If you decide later that it’s not for you, you can always decline but at least you gave yourself a choice.

· Establish a regular work routine whether at home or anywhere else. You can set your own hours while self-employed whenever and wherever you want; however, in order to develop passive income sources or a create a new product, you must work regular hours every day. At the beginning you may be working in upwards of 12-14 hours a day. If you are not quite ready for that time frame, you can build up your hours incrementally as long as you are consistently working.

· Make sure to eat regular meals throughout the day (or night) to fuel your body. Nourishing your body at regular intervals keeps you sharp and focused as well as energizes your body and brain. If you skip meals for a long period of time (or all together) you will not be productive, you will fall asleep, you will be moody and you will not be at your peak performance.

· Make sure to consume whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meats and legumes. Try not to consume foods high in sugar and salt, as they will sap your energy. Organic/natural is optimal; cook and prepare your own meals instead of going out to restaurants, clubs and bars (As an extra bonus, you will save extra money eating at home or brown bagging your lunches),

· Hydrate yourself at every opportunity, especially with water. When you are dehydrated, you may have cravings for sugary or salty snacks and heavy meals. Your brain is fooled into thinking that you are hungry when you are, in fact, thirsty. You should eat only when you are truly hungry (usually 4-6 hours after a meal). Hydrating yourself also keeps your brain and body alert. If you drink coffee or tea, try to limit caffeine several hours before your bedtime. If possible, eliminate consuming sodas and energy drinks; they are diuretics and contain preservatives that make you prematurely thirsty and crave junk food. If you do not like plain water, or are not used to drinking water regularly, flavor with a lemon wedge or other fruit.

· If any element of your self-employment requires long hours on smartphones, laptops or PCs, take regular breaks. At least every hour, take a short walk and readjust your eyes for distant vision. If you work continual hours in front of computers, your joints and back will become painful and stiff and your eyes will become blurry and tired. Regular breaks from computer and smart phone screens will prevent you from getting fatigued as well as keep your metabolism healthy.

· Establish an exercise routine. You do not have to obtain a gym membership to exercise/stay in shape. Taking long walks every day (at least a half an hour) will suffice. Regular exercise reduces stress, enforces effective meal/snack habits and keeps your mind sharp.

· Make sure to schedule regular doctor’s visits if you can afford to. Maintaining great health is paramount for building your business long-term. If you cannot afford regular health insurance (e.g. COBRA), look into private companies that offer low monthly rates and high deductibles for self-employed individuals or find out if you can enroll on your partner’s or spouse’s healthcare plan.

· Try to go to bed at the same time every night as well as wake up around the same time every day. A regular sleep/wake routine is essential for good productivity, healthy energy levels and maintaining good eating habits. Turn off all electronic devices at least an hour before your bedtime. If you travel extensively, make sure you adjust your sleep-wake cycles accordingly and give yourself 6-8 hours of sleep wherever you are. If you must pull an “all-nighter”, please give your body the sleep needed when finished with the project(s).

· Reward yourself when you reach a personal goal or a breakthrough. A reward can be in the form of a lunch or dinner out (making sure you are living below your means, of course!), a workout, spending time with family, playing or watching sports, going for a drive, hiking in the woods, etc. Your rewards reinforce your hard work as well as relax your brain-to allow for new ideas to flourish.

· Live beneath your means financially. Assess your personal (or joint, if you are partnered) budgets and cut costs if you must. Do not buy anything you do not need, especially large purchases to be charged on credit. Pay off all debts, if possible. Work a part-time job to supplement your income, if necessary. Move into a smaller home. Buy non-perishable items in bulk. Walk, bike or use public transportation. Always have an emergency fund ($1,000) available.

· Ask for assistance from a mentor or friend who is successful in his or her own business. Their words of wisdom can help you avoid common mistakes or judgments. Most people who are successful in their small businesses/ entrepreneurial pursuits are more than happy to share their triumphs with you and will give you a boost if you need one.

· If you fail at any task, no matter how large or small, look at the failure as an opportunity for self-improvement or to help plan an alternate path of accomplishing any goals you set for yourself. Being persistent in building your business is essential; if you give up too easily, you will be frustrated with the entrepreneurial process.

· Maintain a positive attitude. You do not have to shout from the mountain tops for the whole world to hear every day; however, you should be passionate about and motivated in some form every day to keep building your business. If you harbor constant negative thoughts about what you are doing, you will sabotage not only your business growth, but also your personal growth. Negativity saps our creative and physical energies. Prolonged negative attitudes and outlooks also adversely affects your health. Even if you are experiencing the worst day, week or month, you should look for (a) positive trend(s) to keep yourself moving forward.

Sometimes employment law can be difficult to comprehend. Here are three common work place situations and their legal ramifications.

1: DISMISSAL DUE TO ILLNESS

There are three potential areas of legal exposure:

· unfair dismissal;

· unlawful termination; and

· discrimination

From time to time an employee will have to leave your employment due to long term health issues. They may decide to resign or you may have to eventually consider dismissing them. It is beneficial to consider as many ways possible to help them back to work – dismissal should be a last resort and could be deemed unfair if not managed properly.

If continued employment is no longer achievable because there are no reasonable adjustments that can be made, it may be fair for you to dismiss them.

The Fair Work Act 2009 states that an employer must not dismiss an employee because the employee is temporarily absent from work due to illness or injury.

The Fair Work Regulation 2009 provides that it is not a “temporary absence” if the employees absence from work extends for more than 3 months, or the total absences of the employee, within a 12 month period, have been more than 3 months. The employer still requires a valid reason to dismiss the employee, even if the employee has been absent on unpaid leave for three months or over.

We suggest you ask the employee to provide medical information on his capacity for work and what support he might need to return to work.

2: EVIDENCE OF ILLNESS

You can insist on employees providing evidence that would satisfy a reasonable person that they are entitled to sick leave, for example, a medical certificate or statutory declaration. That being said there is no specific timeframe as the timeframe required is “as soon as practicable”.

For this reason you should devise a written policy that stipulates that your employees provide such information within a specific timeframe. Your policy should also specify that your employees inform their manager directly of their absence (when possible), or phone their manager within a certain timeframe to explain why they cannot make it to work and when they expect to return.

3: NOTICE OF REDUNDANCY

When dismissing an employee it is necessary to give them notice. The notice commences when the employer tells the employee that they want to end the employment. If you notify them of their redundancy just before leave, the time spent on annual leave will count towards their notice period.

The pre employment background checks are the standard procedure for hiring in almost every successful organization. The FSA checklist is a useful tool to use for verification and better assessment of the potential employees.

The Key FSA Employment Checks include the following areas

1- Past Employer Reference

2- Education Document Authentication

3- Character Reference

4- Identity and Address verification

5- Credit History and similar issues

6- Criminal History

7- Directorship History (where applicable)

The FSA Employment checks include some few key steps like the cross verification of the references being provided. It depends upon the nature of the job for which person has been selected to really seek the back ground reference checks. For the person being considered on sensitive jobs, this reference can be started right from the first employment.

The verification of the Education credentials is done too; the universities or the institute where the person has graduated is asked for the authentication of documents too. This is important step if you are hiring a person from another country. Although there are certain degrees that might be accredited for being equal to U.S. degree, but most of the time gaps can be there regarding the whole study curriculum being out dated.

The FSA Employee Checklist is important also as the CVs tend to over state and include a lot of information that might not be true, so better find out this before hand then later. The checking of relevant professional qualifications and licenses is important step for assessing the candidate capabilities in true light.

The character checks has significance too, as this verification alongside the criminal record or ID background can confirm the social standing of the employee easily. The directorship information can determine the candidate ability in so many others light also. There are some important clauses that can affect the selection process very easily in case of the director ship being involved so it’s important where applicable.

Youth of a nation is considered to be the future of the nation and therefore it is essential to guide them in the right directions and protect them from exploitation during work. Work according to law1 is defined as the human effort whether intellectual, technical or physical, exerted in return for a wage it may be permanent or temporary in nature. The federal law no. 8 of 1980 concerning the regulations of labour relations (hereinafter known as ‘the law’) provides for special provisions for the youth of the nation. Article 20 to article 26 of the law pertains to regulating the employment conditions of a youth and the present article evaluates and discusses the same.

First, it is important to understand who all come within the definition of the term ‘youth’. The term is not defined in the present law and therefore the general meaning of the term is to be looked into. In general terms, the term ‘youth’ means the phase of life which comes between childhood and adulthood. The age till which a person is said to be in childhood is not mentioned but article 86 of the Federal Law no. 5 of 1985 pertaining to the Civil Transactions Law of the United Arab Emirates State, a person enters the age of discretion at the age of 7 and further article 85 of the same law provides that a person in UAE enters the age of majority at 21 years of age. Therefore considering the age below 7 years as childhood and the age of and above 21 to be adulthood, the age of a youth should be between 7 years and 21 years of age.

The present article deals with the regulating provisions for the employment of the youth. Article 20 of the law provides for a minimum age for a youth to be employed, it provides that a youth of either of the gender must have completed a minimum of 15 years of age for being employed. Hence, the regulating provisions for employment of youth are applicable to youth between the age of 15 years and 21years of age. Employing a youth below the age of 15 years in the United Arab Emirates state would be illegal. Therefore article 21 of the law provides for measures to be taken by an employer to confirm the age of the youth before employing him/her. The employer is supposed to maintain a personal file for the youth and is under obligation to maintain documents giving proof of the age of the youth therein. The following documents have to be maintained in the personal file of the youth:

1. A birth certificate or an official extract thereof, or an age estimation certificate issued by a pertinent doctor and authenticated by the competent health authorities. (for proof and verification of the fact that the youth is of employable age)

2. A certificate of health fitness for the required job issued by a competent doctor and authenticated.

3. A written consent of the guardian or trustee of the youth.

Further, the law provides for the maintaining a special register comprising essential information about the youth at the work place by the Employer. The said register is to contain information regarding the name and age of the youth, the full name of the guardian or trustee thereof, the place of residence, date of employment and the work for which the youth is employed. The date of employment is to confirm that the youth when employed was of employable age. The work role of the youth needs to be specified as youths are allowed to do work only that is considered to be safe for them. Article 24 of the law provides that employment of youth in hazardous, strenuous or in such conditions that are harmful to the health conditions of the youth is prohibited. The circumstances and environment that are considered to be hazardous and harmful to the health of the youth are determined by virtue of a decision issued by the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs upon the consultation of the competent authorities regarding the same. Here only the physical health of the youth is taken into consideration but with effect of an amendment the provision for safeguarding the mind and the mental health should also be added in the present law as youth is an age where the mind imprints very fast and easily and hence it is essential to keep it away from unethical, immoral and illegal activities.

Further, the law provides for the duration for which a youth is allowed to work in terms of timings and number of hours. Article 23 provides that a youth can only be employed during day time but this provision is limited to employment in industrial enterprises. Therefore there is no restriction on employing youth during the night time at work places other than industrial enterprises. It also provides the meaning of the word “night” to be a period of twelve consecutive hours at least including the period from 8 p. m. until 6 a. m. Article 25 of the law limits the maximum working hours to 6 hours per day for youths. These working hours would also include intervals for rest, meals or prayers. The intervals together are to be for a minimum of one hour and can be more than that but never less than that. Also the interval or the intervals are to be set in such a manner that the youth does not work more than four consecutive hours and the youth is not to be kept in the work location for more than seven consecutive hours. Further the law also has enumerated provisions within itself against charging the youth with overtime or retaining him/her at the work place after working hours or making the youth work of rest days which includes Fridays and public holidays.

At times it is necessary for the development and rehabilitation purposes that the youth is made to work for longer hours or to attend work on rest days. For such cases the law provides a special provision for philanthropic and educational institutions, that they may be exempt from the above discussed provisions if the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs thinks fit. This is not a rule but only a discretionary power of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs which shall take all necessary facts and circumstances into consideration before granting any exemptions.

These provisions are to be kept in mind by employers, their representatives, guardians and trustees of the youth. As article 34 of the law provides that they are and shall be partially liable for the following of the above discusses provisions of the law.

It is a known fact that the success of an employer and a company as a whole depends largely on the quality and reliability of its employees. This is the reason why employers must invest time and even money in the recruitment and interview process. Doing so would ensure that only the best possible candidate will be considered for a particular job.

When it comes to screening of potential employees, no other tool does it better than employment tests. These tests can measure what is called the KSA – knowledge, skills and abilities of the job candidates. Employment tests in this context are generally written or automated tests, but also include interviews, personality tests, skill tests, psychological tests, performance tests, medical examinations, agility tests, and so on.

A hiring process that is poorly designed is much like a recruitment process based on flipping a coin. Employers are well-aware that the impact of inefficient recruitment decisions can have costly and detrimental outcomes, which may include expensive training costs, decrease in overall productivity, increase in employee replacement, and increase in legal exposure.

Benefits of Efficient Assessments Incorporating assessment tests ensure that your company is making better hiring decisions. It can determine whether or not an employee can meet your criterion for maintaining high productivity. Consequently, pre-employment tests can reduce expensive and time-consuming recruitment steps by straightforwardly narrowing down the choices that will include only candidates who are best fit for the job. Because job fitting is greatly improved, this scenario can also increase the chances of retaining your employees for far longer periods of time. Furthermore, a well-developed pre-employment testing program can present a professional and positive image for your company, and will decrease the risk of hiring complaints.

Although pre-employment tests are basically a tool that protects employers, it can be just as important for them as for the applicant. It would be a shameful waste of time, effort, and even money to prepare for the responsibilities and challenges of a new job, yet find out later on that one is not capable of performing the tasks on hand and is bound for failure.

The benefits of pre-employment testing are endless. However, employers must know that these tests have certain limitations. For one, written tests must only measure skills that are important for the job description that a candidate is applying for. For this, employers must carefully design their pre-employment testing program. Pre-employment tests not properly designed may create an impression of being discriminatory, and this is something employers must avoid at all times.

Designing testing tools take time and experience. If these two are something your company does not have, you can easily find pre-employment testing software packages on the market. These pre-employment tests have been designed by professionals with expertise and experience in the field of recruitment, and thus can efficiently evaluate the general knowledge, office skills, personality, and so on, of a potential job candidate. There are various types of pre-employment test to choose from, and there will surely be one that best fits your needs as an employer.

Clearly, organizations that have a carefully well-developed testing program that best meets their exact needs will have competitive advantage. Employment tests allow employers to make the best hiring decisions and will consequently improve business revenue, productivity, and overall business outcomes.

If you have any service disputes, discrimination issues, harassment cases, debt related issues or any job termination problems, the most possible solution to resolve all this mess is to hire an employment lawyer. An Employment lawyer is a legal professional who takes care of all your trade & discrimination related matters, helping you assure the protection of your rights. These rights include rights as a person, employee and your rights to privacy. As we all know, getting a job is comparatively easy than keeping it! This makes keeping a job, an even more challenging and daunting task. In case you are facing any problems at your job, hiring an ideal employment attorney can help you get the results in your favor.

Being honest, most people will never seek to look for an employment lawyer. As a matter of fact, most of them have not even heard of it! The ones, who’ve heard about it, make plenty of mistakes before contacting an attorney, which in turn results in a financial disaster for them. Hence, picking the right and ideal public prosecutor is also crucial! The process of picking a good public prosecutor is very imperative, as it involves a lot of research, questioning & consultation before hiring.
