The Aim of this assignment is to make your probably first attempt in writing your first CV as well as a cover letter that is a tailored around a certain job offer.

So first you need to create your own resume (CV) as we have discussed previously.

During the class we were relying on the following article:

http://knol.google.com/k/norman-creaney/how-to-write-a-great-first-cv-resume/1hzaxtdr9c09g/12#

Where you will find a good explanation why you need a resume and how to start writing one.

Next step would be to use BasharJobs.com to fill in your profile by creating an account and completing your profile to at least 70% then you can easily click the generate CV button to create PDF copy of your profile which is a fair CV however you need to take that content and format it in a good way as in the article above.

After that using BasharJobs.com you may find jobs that fit your skills as well as your ambition. read the job ad carefully and analyize it for the information you need to write a good cover letter.

Take a copy of the job ad as well as its URL (web address from your browser).

Write a cover letter to include with your resume.

you may see the following article for examples of good cover letters.

http://www.career.vt.edu/jobsearchguide/coverlettersamples.html

So in conclusion you will deliver 3 items:

1. Your very well written CV.
2. The Job Advertisement to which you wish to apply.
3. A cover letter as if your were really applying for that job.

Please do your best to proofread your resume and cover letter to make sure they do not have typographic errors or formatting issues.

This assignment is due Thursday, December 8, 2011.

Finally I wish to remind you (again) copying from your colleague or friend is a terrible crime that will assure the both of you a very big zero.

Thank you & best wishes for you all on your midterm exams

فيما يلي ترجمة لمقالة مصورة (رسومية) كتبها مات مايت من جامعه يوتاه الأميريكية بعنوان ” الدليل المصوَر للحصول على درجة الدكتوراة الفلسفية “ يوضح فيها الكاتب كيف ترتبط رسالة الدكتوراة الواحدة بالكم المعرفي الكلي للإنسانية بأسرها

كافة الصور و العبارات و الأفكار هنا تعود ملكيتها للكاتب مات مايت و قمت أنا بترجمتها للعربية

تمثل هذه الدائرة الكم المعرفي الكلي للإنسانية بأسرها

حين تنتهي من دراستك في مرحلة التعليم الأساسي يكون مقدار معرفتك ضحلاً أو قليلاً

حين تنتهي من دراستك في مرحلة التعليم الثانوي يكون مقدار معرفتك أكثر قليل

مع حصولك على درجة البكاليريوس تكون قد إكتسبت تخصصاً

درجة الماجيستير تعمق معرفتك بذاك التخصص

قرائتك للأوراق البحثية يأخذك إلى حافة دائرة المعارف الإنسانية

بمجرد وصولك لحد الدائرة تبدأ بالتركيز

من ثم تقوم بالضغط على حد الدائرة لعدة سنوات

يوما ما سينحني حد الدائرة و يعطيك مجالاً

هذا النتؤ الذي شكلته يدعى درجة الدكتوراة الفلسفية

وبالطبع ألاف الأشخاص الأخرون يقومون بتشكيل نتؤاتهم الخاصة في نفس الوقت وبذلك تتسع دائرة المعرف الإنسانية في كافة الإتجاهات في نفس الوقت

بالطبع العالم يبدو مختلفاً من وجهة نظرك الأن

فلا تنسى الصورة الكاملة لأنك جزء من دائرة المعارف الإنسانية

حافظوا على همتكم في الضغط على حافة الدائرة

As a matter of fact I have found a Dilbert Comic to say it all for me

Your assignment for next week is simply to implement the list.php file which will display the following list and have a fully capable search function.

How the output should look like

of course you are more than welcome to try to enhance the looks of the form & in such case you will be rewarded with bonus marks.

Also if you implement a Full Text search that would be awesome and will be rewarded with the most bonus marks

please take into your consideration the following points DB name is cdlib and the disc line is formated like this:

well, I just wish to say hello & thank you to all those who have decided to give it a shot and go for it but it strikes me that only 5 out of around 60 of you guys did try. I ask God that this is only because of you guys are being lazy not because you have problems in understanding

below is the the closest answer to what was required done by one of your colleagues (Mohamed Saber Mahmoud).

Big thanks to Mohammed Saber, Alamir Mahmoud Abd El-Aziz and to the rest who cared enough to try. you may download Mohamed’s code from here: list.zip
