  STRUCTURE OF AN ORAL PRESENTATION  A good oral presentation is well structured; this makes it easier for the listener to follow.  Basically there are three parts to a typical presentation: the beginning, the middle and the end (or introduction, body and conclusion).  We are going to look at each part in turn and present the language needed to express both the structure and the content.  II.1 THE BEGINNING OR THE INTRODUCTION  The beginning of a presentation is the most important part. It is when you establish a rapport with the audience and when you have its attention. More detailed techniques can be found in our full course.    II.1.A Get the audience's attention and signal the beginning.  Right.  Well.  OK. Erm.  Good. Fine. Great.  Shall we start?  Let's begin.  Can we start?  Let's get the ball rolling.  Let's get down to business.  In English-speaking countries it is not uncommon for the spe...

Most of the Freshers are not ready to upgrade their skills after Completion of Study  Now a days freshers are not having interest to learn new technical skills based on the job demands. they are just wasting the time in social media without any goal to achieve their goal.  They are interested to get good job with high salary but the effort to put to obtain the same is very limited. Based on your study, you have to choose your field after your completion study.  I have noticed lot engineering graduates working in service-oriented field such as delivery boy, taxi driver etc., Actually what happened to these graduates? why they are not getting required job? If you take an example, in India, Tamil Nadu alone, approximately around 400 Engineering Colleges are existing, and the passed students are around 400 x 300 mechanical students, approximately 1,20,000 students are coming to the job market every year in Tamil Nadu alone in engineering degree. think about other engineering ...

Demanding Job in Construction Global World - Estimation Engineer  Lots of new projects in Oil & Gas, Infrastructure, Building, Pipeline, industrial, and offshore are executing in the global world. various types of estimation professionals pre and post construction works are required in large numbers in various parts of the world. Actually experienced professionals in estimation are high demand; companies are searching for such personnel for their brown and green field projects. Estimation Engineers are the backbone of the companies because they are the ones calculating the project cost prior to awarding the project in the preconstruction stage. If the cost is too high, the winning chances of the project are reduced; if too low, the project shall be awarded, but in the execution phase, the contractor will face a huge loss due to the low bid calculation.  How can we tackle this issue? we need to estimate the project in optimized cost and it should be within resonable expecte...
