But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed
when online. 1 imagine how you"d feel if you were in the other person"s shoes.
For anything you"re about to send, ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person"s face?" If the answer
is no, rewrite and reread. 2 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct ( 本能) is to fire
back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 3 if it was caused by a disagreement with another
member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of
others in the chat room.
4 offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to
communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it"s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long
answer, be kind about it. If it"s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel
strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Have good manners yourself doesn"t give you license
to correct everyone else. 5 at the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and
apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know
the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don"t ask such
questions.
B. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely
C. It"s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online
D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated
E. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages
F. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear
G. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you"d feel comfortable saying words to a person"s face.

grade point averages, who were involved in the most clubs, or scored the highest in sports. They want to
find employees who are the best fit for the job. Why? Those candidates will stay the longest.
The average college graduate stays with her first employer for only nine months. Employers have
concluded that most new young hires are unrealistic about what entry-level jobs needs and will soon
leave in search of something "better". They"re right.
This costs companies a lot of money, because training new hires is expensive. It"s not surprising, then,
that most companies-especially those with training programs-will be interested in whether you"re likely to
remain in that position.
How can you show a company you won"t move on too soon? You must display a true interest in the
industry, in the job function itself, and particularly in that employer. Intelligently discussing the company,
current trends in the industry and showing that you are genuinely interested in the job are two great ways
to communicate to an interviewer that you"re a low-risk hire.
Maturity is another factor that employers weigh heavily. Some students or recent graduates, in
one-on-one situations with older adults, may not come across as being mature and confident enough for
the professional world. Unfortunately, such judgments are often made based on assumptions, but they are
sometimes based on an impression made during a job interview. It is up to you to convince the employer
otherwise. When on a job interview, make sure you project yourself as a mature candidate wlio is ready to
enter the business community. Practice a firm handshake and learn how to make good eye contact.

| TransLink is urging customers to avoid non-essential travel today and to stay home where possible in the difficult weather conditions. TransLink chief executive officer Peter Strachan said bus and train services were continuing to run where possible, however all CityCat and CityFerry services had been cancelled until further notice. "These are extremely difficult conditions for South East Queensland-we are running essential services where possible but safety remains to be the most important," Mr Strachan said. "Severe weather and associated flooding has impacted on all modes of public transport, with bus, ferry and train services all impacted to varying degrees. "If you are planning to use public transport at anytime over the next few days, then I would recommend you check that your intended service is still running." Service disruptions (中断) for today include: City network trains running hourly on all lines. lBus diversions, delays and cancellations in some regions, particularly across Brisbane, Ipswich and the Sunshine Coast. CityCat and CityFerry services cancelled. Queensland Rail Chief Executive Officer Paul Scurrah said rising waterways had closed some train lines, and road closures and damage to property throughout the South-East had contributed to a shortage of available rail employees. "We intend to run trains hourly on all lines, similar to the timetable we operate on Christmas Day. We will also be looking to run other additional services to meet demand as required. At this stage we will run services stopping at all stations which will depart at the same time on the hour, however, this is all subject to the weather conditions and the availability of traincrew." Mr Scurrah encouraged all customers to visit the Translink website for specific departure times for their station, and asked for patience in the event of delays. "Queensland Rail appreciates that reduced services may cause disruptions but it is simply unavoidable. We have a dedicated and experienced team monitoring the situation around the clock and will be working to reopen the network as soon as practicably possible," Mr Scurrah said. The latest service disruption information is available on the TransLink website www.translink.com.au. | |
