Elija al mejor (Nueva Edición)


Book Description

Nueva edición 2017 La entrevista - La entrevista por competencias Elija al mejor fue publicado en su primera versión a fines de la década del ’90 y fue uno de los primeros libros en nuestro idioma que, haciendo foco en la entrevista, abordó la temática de Gestión por competencias. Tuvo desde entonces numerosas re ediciones. A lo largo de este tiempo, si bien los conceptos básicos sobre selección de personas y sobre la entrevista en particular no se han modificado, sí han cambiado sustancialmente las formas en que estos procesos se realizan: las vías de comunicación, los soportes en los cuales se registran los datos, la manera de interactuar entre las personas y, por ende, los comportamientos relacionados, de todos los involucrados. Esta circunstancia ha motivado a su autora, Martha Alles, a reescribir integralmente esta obra clásica y ofrecerle al lector una edición completamente actualizada,que expone las buenas prácticas vigentes hoy en la materia, en todos los aspectos. La obra está dividida en dos partes: en la primera se ve con todo detalle la entrevista de selección para aquellas organizaciones que no poseen modelos de competencias,y en la Parte II se presenta la entrevista por competencias. Este enfoque permite, adicionalmente, que las empresas que no hayan implementado aún el modelo de competencias puedan conocer criterios básicos de esta modalidad de gestión, explicados en la segunda parte del libro, para mejorar sus técnicas de entrevista. La obra está dirigida a entrevistadores diversos, desde especialistas experimentados hasta aquellas personas que deban efectuar entrevistas circunstanciales o esporádicas.

The Ocean Challenge Badge


Book Description

The ocean covers 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, and is essential for life on our planet – even for those of us who live nowhere near the sea! It provides us all with food and other materials that we need, regulates our climate and provides half of the oxygen we breathe. The ocean also offers us various means of transport and opportunities for recreation. People have long thought that the ocean was so wide and bountiful that it would go on supplying our needs forever, but this is not the case: human activities are causing significant damage to life in the ocean. People are often unaware of the problems created by this heavy reliance, as few of us have the opportunity to look beneath the surface of the sea and see the damage that our actions have caused. This is where the Ocean Challenge Badge comes in: let it take you on a journey to discover the ocean! It is packed with activities to help you learn about how the ocean works, the creatures that live in it, and just how important it is in our everyday lives. You will also discover how YOU can play a role in protecting our ocean for future generations. We hope you will be inspired to take the challenge and celebrate our ocean. So dive in and begin your aquatic discoveries!

The Forbidden Religion


Book Description

Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.
