Time is all we have in life. It can be said as a truism that we get too late smart in life. time management is like that. We only have a limited amount of grains of sand in the hourglass sundial clocks of our lives. Eighty percent of the results of all efforts and projects all depend on only 20 % of chosen actions. Thus you have to focus on the meaningful productive and well chosen components of all your plans and planning if you want to get anywhere and ultimately anywhere in your life both for yourself, your family and co-workers on the job or jobsites.

Countless individuals wrongly believe that professional life starts with a job search and quickly obtaining employment. In truth our professional lives start in the last few years of school and though we do not have to pick a career path, who we socialize with, our internships and other activities all play a central part in influencing the ease with which we can obtain a job after graduation and in succeeding years. Networking is a fundamental element in any job search or career success and has to be established over the years using regularity, social skills and organization. Here are some of the general techniques of networking during your life as a professional and student.

Recent years has seen an influx of Social Work recruits to Britain from other countries. Local authorities are contacting agencies in the USA, Canada, Australia, India, and Africa as well as from the European community. There has been a heavy supply of new professionals joining the diverse community in Britain adding value to the social welfare service. However this has resulted in challenges for workers and service users in terms of new recruits being highly skilled but often lacking in basic knowledge about British cultural, economics and diversity as well as procedural information required to hit the ground running.
Unfortunately not a lot is really available for workers concerning what to expect when they get here. It is would seem fundamental for everyone’s benefit that workers are offered more than just an induction programme on arrival, they need to be offered a mechanism to build their own induction and socialisation programme in advance.
Workers who have come to the country under their own steam, in this context I mean not having been recruited from abroad by on e of the major recruitment companies would probably benefit from this to a greater degree more than others who have been recruited by such means.

Although the following is not exhaustive it is based on research of the main practice, guidance and legislation made available to Social Workers and is intended to aid workers in formulating their own Induction Package. It’s also based on common sense.
Social workers based in all social care setting s will need to know about some common core information.

What relevant legislation will you be operating under? Check the Government website.
What templates for assessments are available and accepted by the Authority? All workers have to use a framework and this too can be obtained from the internet.
What Policies and Procedures must be adhered to? These are generally called Procedural Manuals and are usually on Local Authority websites or intranets. These will help you to ensure that you are clear about your main roles and responsibilities as well as crucial fair access criteria.
Generally they should ensure that you do the following

What is Your Relationship With Work?
Monday, August 17th, 2009“If society be held desirable, it surely must be free, equal, and reciprocal society, where benefits are conferred as well as received, and not such as the dependent finds with his patron or the poor with the rich.”
–Thomas Malthus
“An Essay on the Principle of Population,” Chapter 4, 1798.
“Still men accept servility in order to acquire wealth; as if they could acquire anything of their own when they cannot even assert that they belong to themselves, or as if anyone could possess under a tyrant a single thing in his own name.”
–tienne de La Botie
“Discourse on Voluntary Servitude,” 1548.
