NeTakaya2 years ago

Answer: Many countries and companies have rules against nepotism- favors from relatives. We all know it happens, but it would not be a good idea to leave a paper trail of evidence.

I would hope you have a good enough relationship with your uncle so he really could and would help you. If so, you should have a good enough relationship to talk to him on the phone.

Call him on the phone, ask him about the best way to get a job where he currently works—- don’t just tell him you need a job there. This way you are not putting him on the spot in an uncomfortable and possibly illegal situation or one that at least violates company policy. Let him come up with his own ideas on helping you. If he is well enough connected, he might in fact be able to get you a job behind the scenes. At minimum he can probably tell you the inside scoop on the best way to apply and have a decent chance of hire for that particular company, saving you lots of wasted time.

I would not write a letter telling him you “need” employment there. You are putting him in a very uncomfortable situation, where he is being pressured to make a choice: put his own reputation and position on the line professionally or choose not to help extended family and it is being done in writing. A more informal approach would be to request his help- he can then choose the best way to use his knowledge and influence to help a relative in a way that will reflect his true confidence in your abilities and worthiness. If I personally had a niece or nephew go the letter route, I would likely see it as an attempt at coercion coming from a sense of entitlement, almost blackmail, and likely that relative would not have any chance of getting my support

Explanation: good luck!

What is good side and bad side Mobilphone
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

One good side of having a mobilephone (or giving one to a kid) is that you will have much more contact. If the person with the phone is in danger, they can call their family and/or the police. Without a phone, this may be much harder to do. A downside of a kid having a mobile phone is that they may be exposed to many things on the internet, especially with social media. They could see thing they do not wish to see, they may be bullied, or they may experience jelousy when seeing other people on social media. In my opinion, phones are a very good resource for schoolwork, watching occasional videos, seeing the news, and staying in contact with family and friends, but this is only up to a certain point.

Identify the OBJECTIVE COMPLEMENT in the following sentence. **The last scene left the audience frightened.** *
salantis [7]

Answer:

The objective complement in the sentence is: frightened.

Explanation:

An objective complement can be defined as a noun, an adjective, or a pronoun that complements the meaning of the verb and, at the same time, modifies the verb's direct object.

Let's apply the definition above to the sentence "The last scene left the audience frightened." The verb is "left" and its meaning is completed by "audience frightened." To find the direct object, we can ask the verb a question. The scene left what or who? The audience. But notice that this is not enough. Something is missing. The audience was left what? Frightened. Thus, the adjective "frightened" is modifying "audience" and completing the meaning the meaning of the verb.
