Top Thames Hospitality
Companies in London looking for the perfect venue for their corporate hospitality event consistently seem to overlook the one genuine asset the city has – the River Thames. The River Thames has enough variety for everyone. If you enjoy peace and natural beauty, then the gentle and remote stretches of the Upper Thames from its source through Lechlade to Eynsford will delight with tranquillity and natural beauty before it flows into Oxford. From Oxford downstream the Thames meanders its way through beautiful countryside passing Windsor Castle and Hampton Court. Downstream of Teddington (which literally means Tide-end-town) the River Thames changes its rhythm and although still 60 miles from Southend and the North Sea, the Thames becomes tidal.
In Central London every stretch of the river has a tale to tell with iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul’s Cathedral and London Bridge. Past the Tower of London and Tower Bridge the river widens as it sweeps down to Greenwich with its naval tradition and maritime history and past O2 Dome before finally reaching the Thames Barrier and the open the sea. This historic highway offers hundreds of venues for the perfect corporate hospitality event in London.
Whether an intimate gathering aboard a Thames sailing barge with Tower Bridge opening for you, a staff get-together on an elegant river cruiser, or a gala dinner aboard a large paddle steamer, the river and its sights is a fantastic venue for entertaining or holding a conference. For larger conferences and hospitality or launch events that may require more up to date presentation and A-V facilities, the river can still be a part of a unique package by using ExCel, London’s state-of-the-art conference and exhibition centre in Docklands. With the exhibition hall located right on the Royal Victoria Dock, ships and boats can be moored at the quayside for groups of 10 to as many as 200 people. Boats can also be chartered to cruise from ExCel into central London.
Resume Objectives – Your First Steps
The objective of a resume is not hard to explain. The job of a resume is to find a job that lies within your skill set. An alternative way to put this is that a resume is a valuable tool used to show you have the skills that a company needs. If you’re an accountant, you’re not going to apply for a job as an electrician. But the whole purpose for your resume is so that you can show that you have what it takes to fulfill that objective.
So the very first part of the resume is the objective. This is where you tell the company what you wish to bring to their company and what you intend on getting out of it. You can even briefly state what it is you intend to get out of it for yourself and for them. For example, you may wish to state that your objective is to “use my expertise to contribute to a large corporation and enhance my own skills” or something of that nature.
You then have certain objectives you are trying to reach when you create the employment history section of your resume. The objectives are to show the potential employer that you are exactly what they need based on your experiences with past jobs. You have to outline your job duties in a way that is easy to understand. Even if a job skill is very small, you want to include it because you never know how relevant it may be to the business that you are looking to acquire a position with.
You also don’t want to leave anything out about your life that is relevant. When you add something such as a volunteer section, you are showing the employer that you have range. The same applies when you include certifications and licenses that you may have. These items may be relevant to the job you are seeking. You want to show the employer that you are capable of doing many different things. You want to highlight your talents and show the employer that you are the best they are going to find. It is not considered self-centered to highlight these tings, but displays that you take pride in your work.
So make sure you don’t let up anywhere in your resume. Building your resume can be rather daunting, but it is important to remember that it will really pay off in the end when you get the job. A great resume can also teach you a lot about yourself when you look at it. It shows you that you are talented, goal-oriented, and that you really have a lot of value to give a lot of people. Sometimes it takes physical evidence like that to tell us how great we are, which is the same reason why an employer needs a quality resume to make the decision of whether or not to employ you.
