Are You Going To Register To Vote?

In the wake of the US General Election earlier this week, this weekend sees our nation march to our designated registration centres in order to register to vote in next year’s election. Between news of a brand new political party and their naming quandary, just how well has this registration campaign been marketed? Yes, there have been radio advertisements, a few street-pole signs and television notices, but have these campaigns reached the whole population? There are those South Africans who don’t have access to television and radio. How have they been reached in the build up to the registration process? Many people don’t know where to register and don’t have access to the IEC’s website to find this information.

How well was the registration process advertised in your area? Give your opinion on the marketing of this process.

The Currie Cup Final 2008 - Sharks vs Bulls

With an event as important as the Currie Cup Final coming to town, it certainly makes you wonder just what it takes to put such a large production together. From Marketing to Catering, Journalism to Tourism, there are so many people involved in arranging an event such as this. If you are an ardent rugby supporter, there could be nothing better than to be involved in making everything run smoothly in a bid to see your team hold up the all-important Currie Cup Trophy! If any of the above-mentioned career choices sound appealing to you, why not visit our website to view courses available to you.

Until then, enjoy the rugby this weekend and wear your team’s colours with pride! As the CoolCourses.co.za Website Manager, I’m definitely going to be sporting my favourite black and white outfit tomorrow!

Consider It Wrapped!

Does anyone know how to write a professional email these days?

Limelight Websites is looking for a new addition to our team. We are looking for a Junior Web Designer to assist us with our ever-expanding stable of websites and have advertised this position in both online and printed form. Because of this, we have had many applications and have seen many CV’s in our Inboxes from individuals ranging in age from 18 to 35. The problem that continues to crop up in many of these applications is the lack of command of the English language. The MXit generation has lost the ability to type full sentences, use punctuation correctly and even use the full version of each word.

We would like to encourage individuals sending official emails to be more professional. If you are interested in finding employment, an email containing your CV is your very first contact with a prospective employer. Make sure you have used a spell-check on your CV as well as your initial email, use full sentences and DON’T type the message in the same way you would a note to your best friend.

A good idea would be to attend a course or workshop in business etiquette or communications – this would certainly stand you in good stead in becoming a more efficient and professional member of the workforce.

Should you be interested in studying Graphic or Web Design, visit our website for courses in this field. If you are interested in sending us your CV and reside in the Durban region, please send a PROFESSIONAL email to lauren@limelightwebsites.co.za with the subject line “Junior Web Designer Vacancy”.

Have a wonderful weekend.
