Plastic ubiquitous damage environment and marine life

The world is facing the biggest environmental problem in history, which looks inevitable at this stage. Still, we have enough time to prevent more environmental damage. For this world leaders, societies, communities, and individuals should take a step ahead to take immediate action. The first thing which can be started immediately from government, plastic should be ban for single uses and supermarket and individuals should follow strictly. Awareness in the society is an integral part to follow strict laws but law enforcement plays a significant role to adopt laws in the society without fail. I would urge people and authorities to take immediate action to prevent environmental damage.

Hiring Experts Favorite Interview Questions

Interviews are often stressful, but being prepared never hurts. 

Below, eight hiring experts share the questions they love to ask 

in interviews. 

Who do you most admire and why? 
— Michael Yormark, President, the Florida Panthers and Sunrise Sports & Entertainment

"The answer reveals a lot about who the candidate is, who she aspires to be, and whether she has the DNA to be part of a company's culture. It will also force the interviewee to make a decision between brutal honesty and telling the interviewer what she believes he wants to hear." 

In your last employee review, what areas for improvement were identified? 
— Andrew Shapin, Chief Executive Officer, Long Tall Sally

"When candidates are honest, it illuminates self-awareness and potential weaknesses. It also helps ensure I get the best out of them. The response can easily be verified with the previous employer. I also ask what progress has been made." 

Why are you here? 
— Andrew Alexander, President, Red Roof Inn

"I always ask this the minute a prospect sits down. After the initial shock wears off, I hope to hear a passion for the hospitality industry and a deep respect for customer service. I find this to be a tremendously effective way to gauge whether the person is interested in working for us or simply seeking a job." 

So you're a Yankees fan. If you were their owner, how would you make the team better? 
— Bonnie Zaben, Chief Operating Officer, AC Lion Recruiting

"I ask the applicant about their hobbies, and then we do role-play. I want to see how they think quickly and compose coherent presentations. Are they recommending specific player changes? Can they quote stats to back up a position? Can they present a cogent argument in five minutes without dead air? You'd be surprised." 

What is your passion? 
— Hilarie Bass, Co-president, Greenberg Traurig

"Passion leads to success. I have turned folks away who could not frankly answer this. The people attracted to us must show absolute commitment to the practice of law and solving clients' problems." 

You're a project manager? Tell me about a time you had a delayed project. 
— Susy Dunn, Vice President of People, Jama Software

"I always have a candidate provide a past situation similar to what they will encounter in a new position. The answer provides huge insights into their level of critical thinking, adaptability, awareness of their impact, and creativity." 

Describe an environment in which you would not thrive. 
— Larry Drebes, CEO, Janrain

"The candidate is less likely to have a scripted answer, and you see some on-the-spot introspection. You can learn a remarkable amount about personality, as well as cultural and organizational impact, which is hugely important. If this question is asked early in an interview, it often yields color for a richer conversation." 

If you could do anything, what would be your ideal job? 
— Liz Bingham, Partner, Ernst & Young

"A resume can tell you about their previous experience, but this question helps indicate the individual's passions and strengths and whether they're well-matched to the job. From aspirations in politics, to cafe ownership, to entrepreneurship, the answers are revealing.”

And the World’s Most Educated Country Is

With spiking tuition costs, insurmountable loan balances, and the unemployment rate for recent college graduates hovering around 53%, it’s clear that a college education hasn’t gotten the best rap lately. Despite the ongoing financial woes across the globe, though, many think that college is still worth the investment. A new study shows that we’ve continued to flock to institutions of higher learning, enrolling at record rates over the past few years. Not surprisingly, the percentage of adults with degrees soared highest in developed nations, reaching 30% in 2010. But which of these nations can boast the status of most educated?

Based on a study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 24/7 Wall St. compiled a list of the 10 countries with the highest proportion of college-educated adult residents. Topping the charts is Canada — the only nation in the world where more than half its residents can proudly hang college degrees up on their walls. In 2010, 51% of the population had completed a tertiary education, which takes into account both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Canada commanded the top spot in the last study in 2000, but even still has shown serious improvement. A decade ago, only 40% of the nation’s population had a college degree.

Snagging the number two most-educated spot was Israel, which trailed Canada by 5%. Japan, the U.S., New Zealand and South Korea all ranked with more than 40% of citizens having a higher-education degree. The top 10 most-educated countries are:

1. Canada

2. Israel

3. Japan

4. United States

5. New Zealand

6. South Korea

7. United Kingdom

8. Finland

9. Australia

10. Ireland
