Waiting positions at Bon Thai restaurants are a popular choice for students looking for flexible working hours and interaction with the public. Wait staff occupy a front-line position of significant responsibility and all applicants are thoroughly reviewed. A recent Sullivan Report indicated 68% of customers decided against a return restaurant visit because of a lack of interest conveyed by an employee. Motivation and enthusiasm are therefore essential requirements for any prospective Bon Thai employee, as well as an acceptable level of English. Successful applicants must be able to warmly greet customers and answer questions regarding the menu. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Recruitment Process <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The application should be submitted online to our head office in Auckland. Within two weeks, you will receive an email acknowledging the receipt of your application. If your application has been successful, you will be invited to take part in the second stage of the employment process &#8211; a personal interview with the Manager of the Bon Thai restaurant in your area. The email will contain the date and time of the interview. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the interview is satisfactory, you will be selected to take part in the three-week initial training course at the restaurant. Once your training is complete, the second formal interview with the Bon Thai restaurant Manager will take place.

Harassment in the workplace is any unwelcome form of behaviour towards an employee which may offend, humiliate or intimidate. Employees, whether full-time or part-time, are not to be harassed by their employer, supervisor, or by any customer they may be required to deal with in the course of their working day. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Any employee can become a target for harassment as a result of sex, race, disability or religious belief etc. Harassment is often about a person, or a group of people, bullying or using power improperly towards another person or group of people. The following behaviors would, in most cases, constitute bullying or harassment: <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u2022 verbal abuse and joking that puts down or stereotypes other employees; <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u2022 joking about material in the workplace containing sexual or racial material; <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u2022 isolating or ignoring a person or group because of their sex, race, disability, religion etc. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If the employee does not mind the behavior then it is not considered harassment. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What to do if Harassed at Work<\/strong> <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you feel that what is happening to you in your workplace is against the law and would like clarification about what is considered just and fair behaviour, most governments have anti-discrimination boards that will help you. Many government websites that deal with workplace issues and discrimination are also an excellent secondary source of information. A third option is to check with the organisation you are working for to see if they have any policies dealing with discrimination or harassment. Often there will be a person in Human Resources who will be able to assist you. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sometimes all that is necessary is to go to your employer and talk about the matter. It is against the law to treat unfairly or victimise anyone because a complaint in relation to harassment has been made. An employer is obliged to treat what is said with respect and to investigate any issues reported. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before lodging a complaint, make sure you have all the necessary information. It is a good idea to keep a written record of the instances you wish to relate together with dates, times and names of any witnesses. Copies of any emails and other communications supporting your story would also add to your credibility. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In most cases, employers will do what they can to alleviate the situation and the matter will not need to be taken further. If, however, the harassment continues, or you feel you are being disadvantaged or mistreated because you raised the issue, employees are advised to contact the appropriate government agency which is empowered to intervene in such circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Questions 21 &#8211; 27<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Complete the sentences below.

For centuries diamonds have been renowned the world over as a natural material with matchless physical attributes of superior abrasiveness and lustre. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>B.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0It is believed that the Greek word &#8216;adamas&#8217;, meaning \u2018unbeatable\u2019, transformed linguistically over time to the English version it is now known as diamond. Apparently, the ancient Greeks used the highly treasured adamas as a religious icon.\u00a0 Prior to ancient Greece, diamonds were widely used as engraving tools to cut grooves into concrete surfaces. The popularity of diamonds among the masses started to increase at the beginning of the 19th century when their supply increased significantly. The cutting and polishing of diamonds were also improved upon at the time making them even more attractive for the masses. The rise of the world economy and, at the same time, persuasive advertising campaigns, combined to elevate diamonds to the status they have today. Today, about 130 million carats (around 26,000 kilograms) of diamonds are mined yearly fetching a combined value of some 9 billion USD. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>C.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0The central and southern regions of Africa combine to provide almost 50 percent of the world\u2019s total diamond production. Significant sources of diamonds have also been discovered in both Brazil and Australia. Irrespective of where diamond mines are discovered, in reality, there are very few specialised diamond mining companies who do the actual mining. The main reason for this is because they must be given permission from respective governments to undertake the large-scale digging required &#8211; a very complex, bureaucratic process. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>D.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Diamonds are mined through very sophisticated and complex processes. Diamond crystals are formed by high pressure and temperature deep within the earth. In time, volcanic \u2018pipes\u2019 called \u2018kimberlite\u2019 and \u2018lamproite\u2019 rock transport the diamonds to the earth\u2019s surface. These rocks are composed of minerals such as olivine, phlogopite, pyroxene and garnet and a variety of other naturally occurring minerals, including diamonds. Experienced diamond miners know that when they discover kimberlite\u2019 and \u2018lamproite\u2019 in the earth\u2019s crust, there may very well be a rich source of diamonds not far away. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>E.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Considering they are located almost 150kms below the earth, it is a modern engineering marvel how diamond-containing rocks are brought to the surface. Artificial volcanic forces are created beneath the area where diamonds lie via man-made pipes. These forces push the rocks upward in the same way a volcano erupts and ejects lava. The only difference, of course, is the force in the volcano occurs naturally whereas the forces generated in diamond mining are artificial. As the diamond is pushed toward the earth\u2019s surface, a separation process occurs.\u00a0 The technology used for the separation process is different from that of the extraction process \u2013 the former process requires man-made forces to move any and all rocks to the surface, while the latter focuses only on locating diamond-containing rock once it reaches the surface. Testing is conducted on the first few batches of rocks mined to determine whether the mine will be economically viable or not. Whether or not the mining will continue on a larger scale depends on the ratio of diamond-containing rocks to ordinary rocks that are mined. The more worthless rocks that are found in the test mining, the less economically viable the mine is for a larger-scale operation. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>F.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>From the deepest regions under the earth to the point where the diamonds finally reach the hands of the miners, the 4 C\u2019s come to the fore. The 4 C\u2019s are the four standards by which all diamonds are measured and judged.\u00a0 The first C stands for Carat.\u00a0 This refers to the unit of weight by which a diamond is measured.\u00a0 One carat equals exactly 200 milligrams. The value of a diamond increases mainly in relation to carat weight and so, the other 3 C\u2019s play a lesser role in determining the price of a diamond. Cut is the second determinant. As the term suggests, this is all about the art of transforming a rough diamond into a sparkling centerpiece. It requires significant technical knowledge, artistry and experience to cut a diamond. The dimensions and angles of a diamond depend on how it is cut.\u00a0 The next C is colour. The colour of a diamond can change significantly depending upon the chemical combinations and structural formations of other minerals nearby as it is forming.\u00a0 The influence of neighbouring minerals can result in a diamond ranging in colour from completely transparent, to bluish, and a host of colours in between. The final C is clarity, which is a measure of a diamond\u2019s internal inclusions<strong><sup>1<\/sup><\/strong>. These naturally occurring inclusions determine the transparency of the diamond and according to how many there are, an inclusion rating is given. In addition to the 4Cs, fluorescence in a diamond is also considered. Fluorescence refers to the ability of a diamond to absorb invisible light and emit visible light. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>G.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Although diamonds are extremely important for industrialists and a sure symbol of love between a husband and wife when joined in marriage, many environmental activists protest diamond mining.\u00a0 For this reason, mining companies are often under pressure to minimise the negative effects of their mining activities. In fact, a large number of mining companies nowadays regularly publish their process details in order to demonstrate that they conduct their mining business in a socially and environmentally responsible way. <\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>1)\u00a0<\/strong>a naturally occurring imperfection (spot, cloud or fracture) in a diamond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Questions 28 &#8211; 35<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The passage has seven sections labelled\u00a0<strong>A-G. <\/strong>Which section contains the following information?
