Origin Of The Principles Of Management. 

History

Henri Fayol (1841-1925) was a French management theorist whose theories in management and organization of labor were widely influential in the beginning of 20th century. 

He was a mining engineer who worked for a French mining company Commentry-Fourchamb oult-Decazeville , first as an engineer. 

Then he moved into general management and became Managing Director from 1888 to 1918. 

During his tenure as Managing Director he wrote various articles on 'administration' and in 1916 the Bulletin de la Société de l' Industrie Minérale, printed his "Administration, Industrielle et Générale – Prévoyance, Organisation, Commandement, Coordination, Contrôle". 

In 1949 the first English translation appeared: `General and Industrial Management' by Constance Storrs.

A Simple Way To Write An Effective CV

In the modern age of computer technologies, why would applying for jobs be any different?

Career websites are set up so that job finders can submit a resume online to contact prospective employers.

    First of all, start by researching job publications directly referred to your field of industry.

There always exist some particular requirements that are usually mentioned and you may use them as keywords throughout your own resume.

    Point out a resume objective. It will help potential employers in getting the right presentation of what your job expectations are.

    Detail your previous experience. Emphasize your job skills and related accomplishments that may be significant in getting particular job.

    Indicate education level. Mention if you have some additional degrees, certifications or specialized training.

  It is also possible to include any related unpaid work you perform, such as internship.

   


It is allowed to outline your hobbies and interests, but just in case they directly correspond to position you apply to.

 Concentrate the main attention only on what demonstrates your value; leave everything else out.

    For some recruiters it is important to know whether a candidate is ready to relocate. So, for example, if you look for getting a job in Lagos and not any other place, you should point it out in your CV.

    Note that optimal resume length is about 2 pages, but if you feel you are good in writing 3 or 4 pages resume, it is just up to you. But try to get rid of using the same words over and over.

 Avoiding repetition makes your resume more professional and attractive for recruiters.

    Constructing a CV or resume is enough work. Especially as you try to give it the best possible layout to appeal to a potential employer.

    But what about including an objective in your CV?

    Writing an objective in a CV used to be the common place. It was one thing employers of those days looked out for as regards what you have to offer the company.

But the tune has changed these days.

    Having the seemingly-best objective in your CV may not even qualify you for a call, let alone an interview.

    What employers want to see in your CV are your past, work experience, your achievements and how you qualify for the position in question.


    Objectives in your CV is not completely bad, but it could be worrisome when it does not align with the job position you are applying for.

It could be part of the CV but have it in mind, it's not a yardstick for hiring you.
