British Company Management

I. Read and translate the text.

The management of the company is called the Board of Directors (not Managers) headed by the Chairman (= the President Am.).

There is usually a Managing Director and in the case of big companies there may be several Joint Managing Directors.

A Manager in British companies is the person who is head of a department — Sales, Export, Works (Production), Staff, etc.

So there are Sales Managers, Export Managers, Works (Production) Managers, Staff Managers, etc.

A general Manager has managers, working under his control, and receives his instructions from the Managing Director.

By British Company Law a limited company (public or private) must have a Company Secretary whose duties are manifold.

First he is the clerk to the Directors: he is to keep Registers of Directors and Members, arrange for proceedings at Director's and shareholder's meetings, prepare notices for the calling of these meetings, attend them and advise directors at board meetings on the legal, accounting and tax implications of any proposed business move as well as keep minutes and write reports (the minutes of a meeting are usually concise records of resolutions or decisions reached, and the reports are more extensive and give details of discussions, arguments for or against the resolutions, and so on).

Second he represents his company "and in this capacity he supervises the working of the staff and the maintenance of staff records (if there-is no special staff manager), finally he is often responsible for the accounting and handling of contracts. Thus he is the link between the company and the members, between the company and the staff and between the company and the public.

The Company Secretary must be a properly qualified person, and be able to fulfil his routine duties well.

He is supposed to have training in company law, accountancy and many other subjects. He is expected to be a part-lawyer, part-economist, part-administrator and part-accountant.

But it takes a good deal more than professional qualifications to make a good company secretary: "he must be businessman and humanitarian, lawyer and visionary" (as one of the English newspapers puts it).

V. Read the dialogue between Personal Manager and a group of new secretaries:

P.M.: Good morning, I'd like to welcome you to our organization. Now you all know which departments you are going to, but before you go off I am going to tell you a little bit about us and about the rules and regulations which we try to adhere to. And the reason why we have these rules is that they help us all to know what we can do, what we must do, and what we shouldn't do — and in the long run make this a happy place to work.

S.: And what can you tell us about flextime system?

P.M.: First of all the flextime system. Most of you can choose what time you are going to start and finish. However,

you must all be here for core time which is from 10 till 3.... You should all work for a minimum of 37 hours a week and not more than 41 hours. If you look at your job descriptions you'll see that you should put in an average of 38 hours a week. This means you can put in up to an extra 2 hours per week. However,-at the end of a month you shouldn't have more than 10 hours overtime, because only 10 hours can be claimed. Is that clear? …

S.: We would like also know about daily working hours.

P.M.: As far as your daily working hours are concerned, you.: should tell the departmental heads on the Friday, what times you are going to start the following week. You needn't start each day at the same time, but you must be here between 10 and 3, and you mustn't put in less than 37 hours in a week. And one more point, you needn't specify in advance what time you are going to finish.

S.: How long does our holiday last?

P.M.: You all have 18 days holiday a year. Ten of these 18 days must be taken during July when the company will be closed. The other eight days may be taken in either one" or two instalments, for example five days and three days or six days and two days, etc. But you can't have eight separate single days off or four 2-day periods off.

S.: Could you possibly tell us about lunch hours?

P.M.: We have a canteen here where you can have lunch. Lunch tickets are on sale on Monday mornings only and this means you must buy your tickets then for the rest of the week. The canteen is open between 12.30 and 2 o'clock and there are two sittings. You should decide on Monday which sitting you are going to attend and tell the supervisor when.you buy your tickets. So, any more questions about these three points — flextime, holidays and lunch — before I move on to the next matter?

UNIT 6.

RESUME (CURRICULUM VITAE)

A resume, sometimes called a Curriculum Vitae or CV, is a summary of your career history, the skills experiences you have gained during the course of it.

A good resume should:

1. attract attention

2. create a positive impression

3. present your skills and qualities clearly and concisely

The purpose of the resume is to tell to an employer why you should be hired. Consider it as your personal marketing instrument. A good resume will help you open the door to a job interview.

There are two kinds of resume: employment and academic. The employment resume: is typically shorter. Academic interview generally includes several additional sections such as:

1. Conferences, seminars attended

2. Papers given

3. Publications

4. Professional affiliations

The academic resume is used when applying to research bodies, international or educational organizations, NGOs, etc.The resume, as a standard summary of information, may be photocopied and sent off to many employers, changing sections of the content according to the different needs of the organizations contacted.

Resume writing tips.

As you write your resume, keep in mind the following:

1. Use concise language

2. Minimize or omit everything which is irrelevant

3. Select and order the major categories so that the most relevant information is placed near the top of your resume where it will receive the majority of the reader’s attention

4. Your resume must be free of typographical and grammatical errors

5. Have your resume critiqued by an experienced person

6. Print your resume on white paper.

A CV ('curriculum vitae' or 'resume') is essential if you're applying for a new job or for promotion within your own company, or even to register as a delegate at a conference. Some information might be given in your CV, some in your letter of application — and perhaps some on a Supplementary Information sheet (giving information relevant to the particular job you're applying for). There are no fixed international rules about this: different countries have different practices.

RESUME

A: Work in pairs. Decide where you in your country and in your line of business, would normally give this information:.

I Your name, address and telephone number.

4 Your marital status.

5 The name and the address of present (or last) employer.

16 When you are available for interview.

17 Details of your present (or last) job..

18 Your current (or last) salary.

19 The salary you would expect to receive.

20 The names and addresses of two or three referees.

a) in your CV or resume? c) on a Supplementary Information Sheet?

b) in your Letter of Application? d) or on an Application Form?

A Letter of Application

Dear Sir,

I should like to be considered for the post of Personal Manager at your Croydon factory, which was advertised in the "Sunday Chronicle" on February 15th 2002. The relevant information concerning my education and professional experience is as follows..

From 1980 to 1983 I studied Sociology at the University of Harrogate and graduated with a Second Class Honours Degree (Lower Division) in that subject. The main degree course was concerned with basic sociological topics, such as the history and theory of sociology, but there were also a number of optional courses available.

From amongst these I selected The History of Industrial Sociology and The Psychology of Management. In order to satisfy part of the requirements for my Finals Examination I had to submit a short dissertation involving original research. I wrote a paper on Nineteenth Century Industrial Relations in Yorkshire and for this section of my examination received a mark of distinction, j

Whilst at university I took an active part in a number of social activities, and was secretary of both the Drama Society and the Student Sociological Society.

On leaving university I was a student for a year at the North York Business College, where I was successful in obtaining a Diploma in Industrial Management, Class I. Courses at this college covered a wide field relevant to the management studies in general and I was able to supplement my theoretical knowledge with a great deal of practical experience of such things as office management, personnel selection and the development of modification of work schedules.

But it was in the area of personnel management and control that I found my interests satisfying fully and I took all available opportunities of increasing my knowledge of theory and practice in this field.

From July 1984, when I left Business College, until September 1988, I was employed as an Assistant Personal Officer with Messrs. James Bradley, at their Leeds factory. The company manufactures a wide range of small components for use in the electronics and motor industries, and employed at that time a Labour force of approximately five hundred men and women.

I enjoyed the work at Bradley's very much, especially in that it kept me closely in touch with both workers and management, but after four years' experience there, and in the absence of any prospects of promotion I applied for the post of Deputy Personal Manager with Yorkshire Engineers Ltd. I began to work there in September 1988 and am still employed in the same post.

My work at Yorkshire Engineers is in many ways similar to that which I was doing previously. The work is absorbing and rewarding, but now I feel that at this stage in my career I should like more responsibility.

In your advertisement you asked applicants to provide information on leisure activities, which may be considered relevant. First, I have continued ever since university to read widely in the literature relevant to my occupation I find time to contribute articles to several of the journals in this field. Details of my publications are provided on an attached sheet. Second, I began doing some voluntary social work while at business college and have gradually extended my commitment in this direction ever since. I enclose copies of two recent testimonials, and the names and addresses of two people who are prepared to act as my referees. I hope that the information I have provided in this letter and the enclosures is sufficient for your purposes, but I shall of course be glad to expand it should you wish.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Drayton
