5 Steps to Launching an International Job SearchPosted on September 14th, 2012 2 commentsThere are many things to consider when planning for a global career transition, regardless of the country you are moving from and regardless of the country you are moving to. Here's a 5-step pre-departure job search checklist:
- Develop your action plan. You will need to begin developing an action plan. Develop your action plan before you depart, if possible, and keep it handy because you will refer to it regularly throughout your transition and during your time in the destination country. As well, you will need to ensure your action plan refers to future transitions to other countries or back to your home country. Your action plan should include your career goal(s), your approach to your job search, visa/work permit info, resources, strategies, contacts, business culture information, and other relevant information.
- Get strategic about networking and identify target organizations. You will find many resources available to you in your destination country to make great contacts, such as expatriate groups/networks, Chambers of Commerce, international women's associations, and many more organized groups. Try to avoid relying on just one or two resources. Using a variety of networking resources will help to ensure balance in your approach to your job search.Although it can be daunting trying to go through myriad online resources to find organizations in different countries, it is important to develop a list of 15-20 target organizations. There are many websites that have lists of organizations. The country-specific Chambers of Commerce can be found on the International Chambers of Commerce website. You may be able to find listings of companies and organizations by looking up the different country Chamber sites.
- Find out the restrictions and permissions for working in the country. You will want detailed information about the work permit process, such as what documents are needed, how long each will take to process and whether your nationality may cause any delays, etc. You can contact the country's embassy or consulate in the country where you currently reside.
- Learn the business etiquette and communication culture. You can learn the dos and don'ts for the destination country by keeping your eye on this blog. Members who have access to the password-protected Passport Career country portfolios should review the business culture sections for the destination country. There are also some great websites and books out there that cover this topic by country. Do not let this important knowledge/skill slip. You must know the key business culture to be effective with your networking and your job search—even when connecting with the expat community!
- Create a networking resume/CV. Create a resume/CV appropriate to the standards in your destination country to use for networking purposes and gather relevant papers that may be requested to be submitted with your CV/resume. What documents might you need? Plan to take copies of the following: transcripts from your college, vocational or other educational institute (if you have numerous degrees, then you will need copies of each), awards and training activities, proof that you attended relevant conferences (usually only needed if you have a certificate from a training at a professional conference), and other related documentation.

I do not even know the way I stopped up right here, but I believed this submit was good. I don't understand who you're however certainly you're going to a well-known blogger when you are not already. Cheers!
Great article, I enjoyed reading it.

I'm looking for a way to move some of the "stuff" on the top panel from the right corner to the center. It's a little frustrating thing to look at the time in the corner, when I can possibly just look up to the middle of panel.
Anyone got any idea how to do it?

CT and MRI of Wernicke's encephalopathy.
Summary of "CT and MRI of Wernicke's encephalopathy."
The purpose of this pictorial essay is to present the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of Wernicke's encephalopathy, a rare, severe, acute neurological syndrome due to thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, associated with high morbidity and mortality. The classical clinical triad, which includes ocular signs, altered consciousness and ataxia, can be found in only one-third of patients. Although chronic alcoholic patients are the most commonly affected, Wernicke's encephalopathy may complicate malnutrition conditions in nonalcoholic patients, in whom it is greatly underestimated. CT and above all MRI of the brain play a fundamental role in diagnosing the condition and ruling out other diseases. MRI is the most sensitive technique and is required in all patients with a clinical suspicion of Wernicke's encephalopathy. Medial thalami, mamillary bodies, tegmentum, periaqueductal region, and tectal plate are typical sites of abnormal MRI signal. The dorsal medulla, red nuclei, cranial nerve nuclei, cerebellum, corpus callosum, frontal and parietal cerebral cortex are less common sites of involvement although they are more frequently affected in nonalcoholic patients. Paramagnetic contrast material may help to identify lesions not otherwise visible.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Aphasia, Conduction
A type of fluent aphasia characterized by an impaired ability to repeat one and two word phrases, despite retained comprehension. This condition is associated with dominant hemisphere lesions involving the arcuate fasciculus (a white matter projection between Broca's and Wernicke's areas) and adjacent structures. Like patients with Wernicke aphasia (APHASIA, WERNICKE), patients with conduction aphasia are fluent but commit paraphasic errors during attempts at written and oral forms of communication. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p482; Brain & Bannister, Clinical Neurology, 7th ed, p142; Kandel et al., Principles of Neural Science, 3d ed, p848)
Aphasia, Wernicke
Impairment in the comprehension of speech and meaning of words, both spoken and written, and of the meanings conveyed by their grammatical relationships in sentences. It is caused by lesions that primarily affect Wernicke's area, which lies in the posterior perisylvian region of the temporal lobe of the dominant hemisphere. (From Brain & Bannister, Clinical Neurology, 7th ed, p141; Kandel et al., Principles of Neural Science, 3d ed, p846)
Wernicke Encephalopathy
An acute neurological disorder characterized by the triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and disturbances of mental activity or consciousness. Eye movement abnormalities include nystagmus, external rectus palsies, and reduced conjugate gaze. THIAMINE DEFICIENCY and chronic ALCOHOLISM are associated conditions. Pathologic features include periventricular petechial hemorrhages and neuropil breakdown in the diencephalon and brainstem. Chronic thiamine deficiency may lead to KORSAKOFF SYNDROME. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1139-42; Davis & Robertson, Textbook of Neuropathology, 2nd ed, pp452-3)
Encephalopathy, Bovine Spongiform
A transmissible spongiform encephalopathy of cattle associated with abnormal prion proteins in the brain. Affected animals develop excitability and salivation followed by ATAXIA. This disorder has been associated with consumption of SCRAPIE infected ruminant derived protein. This condition may be transmitted to humans, where it is referred to as variant or new variant CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB SYNDROME. (Vet Rec 1998 Jul 25;143(41):101-5)
Creutzfeldt-jakob Syndrome
A rare transmissible encephalopathy most prevalent between the ages of 50 and 70 years. Affected individuals may present with sleep disturbances, personality changes, ATAXIA; APHASIA, visual loss, weakness, muscle atrophy, MYOCLONUS, progressive dementia, and death within one year of disease onset. A familial form exhibiting autosomal dominant inheritance and a new variant CJD (potentially associated with ENCEPHALOPATHY, BOVINE SPONGIFORM) have been described. Pathological features include prominent cerebellar and cerebral cortical spongiform degeneration and the presence of PRIONS. (From N Engl J Med, 1998 Dec 31;339(27))

Official: Chemical put on Fla. girl in toxic truck
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Authorities searched the home of parents accused of abusing twin 10-year-olds - a girl who was found dead in the back of a pickup truck and a boy who was critically injured in the front seat after police said his father doused him with a chemical.
A chemical was also poured on the girl, Nubia, and it was difficult to determine if she had been abused before her death, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about the case publicly. It's not clear if the chemical was poured on the girl before or after she died.
The father, Jorge Barahona, is charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated child abuse with a weapon after authorities siaid he doused Victor with chemicals. He told police he loaded his dead daughter into the truck, got into the pickup with his son and planned to kill himself. The boy was found convulsing in seizures, overcome by the toxins. The father was nearby on the ground, unresponsive.
Barahona pleaded not guilty Friday. He is being held without bail and ordered not to have contact with Victor or other children.
Meanwhile, police were also interviewing his wife, Carmen Barahona. Child welfare officials said she repeatedly covered for her husband in the days before the twins were found. Law enforcement officials said the truck was so toxic several rescue workers were sickened and had to be treated.
Officials with the Department of Children and Families said they expect charges to be filed against the mother. West Palm Beach Police Capt. Mary Olsen said her agency is reviewing evidence, and authorities searched the couple's Miami home late Thursday night, but she wouldn't give details.
Child welfare officials have said the couple tied the twins' hands and feet and locked them in the bathroom as punishment. The couple, who adopted the twins out of foster care in 2008, have been the subject of three abuse investigations in the past few years.
A family member called the abuse hotline last week after the Barahonas' granddaughter claimed the twins were being tied up and locked in a bathroom.
On Friday, a judge removed the granddaughter from her mother's care amid concerns that family members knew about the twins' abuse but did nothing. Officials said Carmen Barahona even warned the girl that these were "family secrets" that shouldn't be repeated.
DCF officials do not believe the granddaughter was abused.
A judge on Friday ordered the mother not to have contact with the girl and placed the child in her father's custody. The couple are divorced.
The girl's abuse allegations tipped off a futile four-day search for Jorge Barahona and the twins. The agency finally called police Monday, the same day the truck was found.
Child advocates questioned why the agency didn't alert police sooner.
Newly appointed DCF Secretary David Wilkins has asked for an outside review.
"There are obvious questions. Did we do the right things in certain places/" Wilkins told The Associated Press Friday. "Have (the Barahonas) been deceiving us ever since they were foster parents? Are there signs that we should've seen or did something happen and did something just break in their mind?"

We started the process of migrating our SA setup to 10.x version (latest and greatest :-)).
This is one of the issue we encountered:
- on our previous version (9.02) partial templates with preserve value option was great to keep existing values in the file while pushing only values for which there are entries in the value set; the documentation for older releases (7.x and 9.x) said:
"Preserve Values allows the user to specify that any values for a configuration on the server that aren't't also stored on the core be preserved if at all possible. This feature is useful if you don't intend to import all the current values from the config into Opsware, or if you frequently have users or programs modifying configuration files outside of Opsware.
Obviously we would like you to use Opsware for all of your configuration changes, but we realize this is not always possible."
- on the freshly installed 10.0 it seems that something changed and the online documentation is somehow contradictory; in one part of the documentation we read:
while in other part:

Creed is one of the worst niche company in history in terms of longevity and sillage and the overhyped sense of quality.
Thread: Creed product reviews
I have tried out virgin island water soap, shower gel and green irish tweed shower gel. On me to be honest the soap lathers really good, you can very slightly smell the fragrance in the soap but not projection or longevity out of the shower, shower gels have stronger scent but once you leave the shower it is gone, and yes i am talking about green irish tweed too. Are they bad? No they are not, I suggest people who do love Creed to try them out they may or may not work for you depending on your ph ,etc. I am going to try out some other stuff soon. I will keep you all posted.
Ps. the room sprays are not that great in my opinion, keep in mind i have sampled the shower gel and the room sprays i did not buy them.

when you deal with more natural materials they projection and longevity will suffer but the quality is unmatched by anyone. fragrance is not supposed to go 50 miles long and last 5 years on the skin, many times those are synthetics that you do not even want to mess with all the time, given i have some nice designer gourmands and i use that if i want attention, but buying Creed is primarily buying for yourself, fragrance is person, if they are in my personal space they will smell it.
"unmatched by anyone" ?

you can smell the quality in their frags, i do not see that with other companies and i have smelled a ton of them.
All threads mentioning Creed must have a fight in them...
In the spirit of the initial post, I have the shower gels for Original Vetiver and Original Santal. Both smell dead-on like their perfumes. The OV is strong enough that you really don't need to apply a scent after using it, which is nice, but makes it so I can really only use it when I plan on wearing OV, which is kind of limiting, but keeps it as more of a special occasion luxury, which is probably proper, considering the price.
The OS gel, on the other hand, smells great while you use it, but doesn't leave anywhere near as much scent on the body. I can use it and then apply something different. (which is odd, given that OS is easily the strongest, longest lasting Creed)
Has everyone checked out my Top 100 Blog??

Hi 007!
I am also a fan of Creed, though we differ in taste: 3 stars only for Himalaya? And only one for Baie de Genièvre?
Nevertheless, I'm with you 100% in giving 5 stars for Vintage Tabarome and Royal English Leather!

Reviews: http://www.basenotes.net/reviews/30
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
My Antaeus can beat up your Armani.
Yes! Creeds have top-notch offerings, and a lot of them. They were the first niche I've tried and I fell in love. As time grew by, I sampled even more houses and my fragrance knowledge improved and Creed still keeps a pace in my top 3 niche houses.
At their retail price 250$ for 4.2 ounces the poor longevity is frustrating, I guess this is what keeps me from buying all of the Creeds available (thanks Creed for saving my bank account).
Their gig is that they only use natural ingredients, that may be true, but come on, who wouldn't want to smell like Millesime Imperial for 10 hours?
Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
Its the same with Creed as with many other companies. Some has bad sillage/longevity, and some are very good.
Davidbond, I thought I already told you about the evil truth behind Creed's use of naturals!
I'm sincerely glad you found a house you really like though. Creed does have some gems in their lineup.
"Nothing breaks up a team faster than.. Herpes"
-- Top --
(1) Guerlain Tonka Imperiale (2) Creed Millesime Imperial
(3) Creed Silver Mountain Water (4) Creed Aventus
(5) Creed Green Irish Tweed (6) Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Malt
(7) Amouage Reflection Man
Creed bodywashes almost ALL I use. With that in mind...
ALL three that I use are 100% accurate to their alcohol-oil fragrance counterpart.
Silver Mountain Water...FILLS your bathroom with the fragrance. It does stick to your body as well.
Green Irish Tweed...not so great stick-to-it, and moderately fills your bathroom when showering.
Virgin Island Water...poorly adheres, but it's a fun scent.
I gave Love In White (for women) to someone special. It's dead-on accurate.
get a bottle of unscented Aveeno body wash. Add a sample vial of your favorite Creed. Mix.
Longevity: I applied Erolfa this morning. Still a nice, faint skin scent 8+ hours later.
Products: I bought Original Santal deodorant. It smells good, but the deodorant effect is kinda weak. I wouldn't recommend it for long-distance wear.
People should try telling the Arabs that the "natural" agarwood oils and attars they use are going to suffer from lack of longevity and projection.when you deal with more natural materials they projection and longevity will suffer but the quality is unmatched by anyone.
Last edited by MFJ; 14th June 2010 at 06:41 AM.
it really depends on skin type and body chemistry...
I used to have longevity problems with one of my beloved fragrances, EAU SAUVAGE by DIOR... after 1 hour nobody could detect anything, on the other hand a friend of mine wear 3 sprays in the morning and you could smell it 7 hours later...!
Back to CREED.
As for me and my very dry skin: Bois Du Portugal gives the strongest Sillage and Longevity, since it contains woody ingredients such as Sandalwood, Cedarwood... etc.
Green Irish Tweed works well in warm weather and stays long on skin too...
So best thing is really try out several Creeds you like for several days and you can say which ones work with your body and which ones not...!
Last edited by Adesor; 14th June 2010 at 06:47 AM.
Tabarome Millesime, Erolfa, and Acier Aluminium stays for a long time on my skin. M-I has no longevity at all. Max one hour, and after that it`s gone! I use Himalay edp spray, showergel,and deo-stick, so the longevity on that one is quite good. The sillage could be better..
That's beside the point, sorry I couldn't resist - you're the #1 Creed fan.
Can you tell me what the GIT bodywash is like? I mean like in terms of quality and a lot of subtleties that I'd hope distinguish it from something you can get at walmart?
What is quality really ? If you say Creed is high quality, then high quality relative to what? People say Creed is mainstream niche, it *might* be better than some new designer fragrances. But, compared to top notch niche houses, sorry, no way mate.
How do you know Creed uses more "natural quality ingredients" than the other houses?
On luckyscent:
Wherever possible, Olivier Creed insists on using natural essences instead of the synthetic ones used increasingly by large perfume companies these days. This enables Olivier Creed, a perfectionist, to preserve the originality and superior quality of his fragrances. The components are then weighed, mixed, macerated and filtered, all by hand, before being shipped to only the finest department stores and specialist retailers worldwide. Creed fragrances offer all those who appreciate excellence the opportunity to rediscover the art of fine fragrance.
Does it sound like a marketing statement ? Yes.
Is it overpriced ? Yep. Definitely. $240 for 120ml of an eau de cologne ?
They say more natural ingredients but they didnt dare to say which houses, nor did they dare to say that those houses dont use natural ingredients. They don't even dare compare, coz im sure ppl will rebut them. So they try to make it sound so 50 50, that you can't really accuse them for making false statements. They use natural essence, but they didnt say other houses don't use natural. They just say other houses use synthetic as well. All perfumes have synthetic even creed. Natural doesnt smell as good, and as consistent as synthetic sometimes, partly due to the batch differences. As long as they create a nice smelling perfume, i rather it be synthetic, "at least they last longer" .
The only reason i bought my MI is because it was cheap. Im not saying Creed is bad. But for the retail price... no thanks.
My point is, since you are a basenoter, do not get too obsessed with one, because you might be fooled (you are) by the marketing campaigns, and missing out on the REAL deals.
Btw, my MI from 3-4 years ago still smells the same.

"No Pain, No Gain"
Creed is a well established niche house, they have great fragrances as Bois du Portugal, G.I.T., M.I., etc and they are easily accessible to the masses that's why I think it is so praised, because I must admit when you're used with designer fragrances, smelling a niche will blow your mind into tiny pieces, then it'll reconstruct itself after you've taken your nose out of the Creed smelling area.
In terms of ingredient's quality (even synthetic ones) they rank very high, that is true (you can feel it) but that is no excuse for the poor longevity, and it really pisses me off that they 'blame' it on the natural ingredients.
I still want a Millesime Imperial that will last 10 hours, Wall Street and Unforgivable aren't doing it for me.

Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
I love it how people who like Creed apparently don't actually like the fragrance, but rather all have just fallen for a con job.
Creed-haters are like those people who hate any band once they've gotten too popular... just because they are popular. Has nothing to do with the music anymore, just image. They get off on finding the "new" band before anyone else knows about it.
Has nothing to do with the music (or fragrance), but about using it to boost their egos.
I wouldn't care, but you Creed-haters tend to absolutely wreck any discussion someone tries to bring up about their product, and it's annoying.
I currently have 4 creeds Himalaya, VIW, Erolfa, and MI. I easily get 6-8 hours longevity out of them with the exception of MI which lasts 3 or 4 hrs....
The GIT Shaving Soap & After Shave Balm are very, very nice if you enjoy GIT but a little pricey IMO.
The OV Shower Gel does the original scent justice albeit just a little 'heavy handed' for me. Nice though.
My love-hate relationship with Creed.
Love: SOME of their fragrances. Honestly, maybe two or three.
Hate: The price-to-performance ratio of some things.
On the topic of natural materials, etc. I really don't care what they use as long as I like it. I will never forget though, the first time I smelled a couple of their fragrances -- like seeing a black & white film turned to color.
I use the GIT deodorant. It is a way to wear a scent to work without it offending anyone. You have to be in a hot car with me to really smell it strongly. It holds up really well as a deodorant too. Creed doesn't offer many scents in the deodorant.
I guess you can point your fingers around since you don't happen to be one of those characters in your flawed analogy above.
Pay some actual attention and look around the Creed threads in recent. Who's been breaking up discussion?
A lot of us really like our Creeds, but maybe not for the same reason as yours.

Just because it uses natural ingredients doesn't mean:
- Other houses dont use natural ingredients (i know heaps that uses much more than Creed)
- Other houses are of less quality (a lot of niche houses are of higher quality)
If Creed is good, there will be always a better house.

lets say Creed is the more "known niche house to the masses"... and that is why the discussions about this particular niche house are endless.
On synthetic/natural:
Creed uses synthetics, cause they have to! You can't make a fragrance without synthetics. They use high quality synthetics and also high quality extracs of natural oils, composed in a way to make a nice frag.
There are also high end Designer houses, who do the same as Creed, i.e. using high quality extracts of natural oils composed together with good quality synthetics such as Channel, YSL, Dior etc etc.
the discussion of Creed should not be based on natural/synthetics or niche/designer it should be based on how they compose their fragrances and how they smell to YOU!
Having said that Creed has composed some of the better fragrances out there and has been around with strong clientel for so long (regardless who their clients are, names or fames should not matter).
I like using Creeds because I find some of their frags mix well with my skin. Given my dry skin, I say they do a great job.

I've never said they use more natural ingredients than anyone else. I once said that their scents smell NATURAL.... meaning that they make scents that highlight certain aromas found in nature (lavender, mint, coconut, watermelon, rose, etc). I don't care if they make it out of Bisquick. I wear it because it smells good and fits my personality.
For the foodies out there - It's kind of like the difference between eating at Chez Panisse (Creed) or at some fancy New York fusion-american restaurant (Amouage, say..). Chez Panisse makes simple dishes that let the natural quality of the food speak for itself. As opposed to other fancy restaurants, who create elaborate concoctions of many different flavors. Both taste good, but are different schools of thought. You clearly favor the mad-scientist formula and respect when they make a great creation. I prefer Creed's approach of simplicity.

Since you asked... It's like blood in the water.... Any positive thread about Creed brings the sharks out:
and in the only other thread about Creed on the first page of the forum right now...
Again, I don't care if people don't like Creed, I just find it annoying that they purposely go into any thread about Creed and crap all over the company, which ends up destroying the discussion.

Am I confused as to why you don't address the topic, but rather go off on a tangent about how overrated Creed is? Yes. Yes I am.
Please explain to me how your initial comment (re-posted below, for your convenience) is in any way helpful or related to the original question about Creed soap/deodorant/etc?

That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Although I don't reach for them as often as I should, I love Creed fragrances and will continue to have respect for them. Take it or leave it, love it or hate it, who cares? I have my opinions and everyone else is most welcomed to have theirs. Personally, I don't care what anyone thinks.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
well i actually just made a sublime vanille lotion today, it works pretty well.
oy. I'm having deja vu here.
I know it's hard not to shudder when you hear noobs posting about what sounds like brainwashed, paid advertisements... but let's stick to the topic boys!
DavidBond actually had something good going here.... So who else tried the bodywash/deodorant?
Can anyone comment on whether the deodorants smell exactly like the EdTs?
I have SMW and MI and they both work well on me. I love them and get many compliments. However, the Royal Water, I'm struggling a bit here. On me, I know this sounds weird, maybe it's just on me, there's a waxy/melted candle wax smell which makes it not flattering. Will definitely get more Creed frags.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Some of their fragrances are great and some of them are alright.. just like pretty much any other house. I really love MI, I am interested in trying SMW again, and am wanting to sample VIW, Original Vetiver, and Bois du Portugal. The other ones I'd tried from them were boring, uninteresting and/or just not my thing.
I don't believe we need a Creed war ("The War Of The Roses" existed in history though ( : ).
Without being a particularly hype-vulnerable sniffer (not more than it is humanly unavoidable), I share many people's informed admiration for this house. More for its masculines than for its feminines, more for its "traditional" scents than for the modern ones.
There is doubtlessly a refreshingly solid number of other excellent houses out there but if I had to be limited to one house only, it would have to be Creed.
By far.

Guys, stay on topic please or we'll need to lock this thread. I'm moving it to the grooming board where it probably should have gone to start.
I'm a colognosaurus. Rawr!
Haven't tried their deos. But I can attest that the GIT bar soap and aftershave balm are first rate, if over the top pricey.
I'm a shaving aficionado and I rate their as balm as one of the best I've ever tried. But at $70, it's a tough bullet to bite.
Hard to really say if the soap helps extend the scent. Perhaps a wee bit. The AS balm does extend it and it feels amazing on your face.

Everythihg went smoothly, however, I do not like going up and down the steps to get in the plane,especially if it is raining. It is a little difficult for older people.
I had heard some unpleasant things about United, however, we did not experience any. It was a good flight.
