Read the text below and answer\u00a0Questions 21-27<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

CLASSIFIED ADS \u2013 A USEFUL JOB-SEEKING RESOURCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In their search for employment, increasing numbers of job seekers are once again turning to the help-wanted classified ads in their local newspapers. For some time this popular resource slumped as the heavily trafficked internet job sites became widely regarded as offering greater numbers of employment opportunities. In many cases, this is a valid assumption. A local newspaper focuses on positions vacant in a specific town or region, whereas the online job site will typically contain advertisements for the whole country and possibly even overseas.

If you are seeking work in your neighborhood, and do not wish to drive a long distance or move, the local, classified ads in your newspaper may be a viable option. Recent canvassing has revealed that some local and regional employers don\u2019t always post their position vacant ads on the major websites. Many prefer to advertise closer to home and to hire locally in order to avoid having to pay relocation costs.

Often it is not necessary to purchase the newspapers, as these publications are widely available in libraries, coffee shops and even some waiting rooms. In addition, online newspaper editions, which contain the help-wanted ads, are now widely available and have contributed to the popularity of this form of advertising. These ads are usually searchable by date, category, keyword and location, making them competitive with the larger career and employment agencies found on the Internet.

Whether you apply for a job through a large, on-line employment agency or via a classified ad in a newspaper the same strategy is valid. First of all, read the ad carefully and do your best to answer the following questions:

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Am I the type of person the employer is looking for \u2013 do I have the essential skills and experience?
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>With whom would I be working \u2013 a group of people, one person or would I work independently?
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>What other talents and experience can I include in my application?
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>What opportunities and experiences might be available in this position that would be advantageous to my career?
\u2022\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Do I have the skills to negotiate the challenges and problems of the position? (For example: working with much older employees or a woman working in an office full of men.)

Importantly, try to find a way to stand out from the other applicants. Remember, whether you are responding to a positions vacant advertisement from an internet agency or a newspaper, your goal is to secure the interview before you stand a chance of being hired for the job.<\/p>\n

25.<\/strong>\u00a0Compared with jobs online, jobs in newspapers require a slightly different approach.

Section 3: Question 28-40<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Notes in Australia<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Issued by the Bank of New South Wales in 1816,\u00a0Police Fund Notes<\/em>\u00a0were one of the first official notes in Australia and were well-circulated throughout the 19th century. Their use continued up until 1910, around which time the\u00a0Federal Government<\/em>\u00a0became responsible for issuing, monitoring and controlling all currencies that were used throughout the country. Once the\u00a0Australian Notes Act\u00a0<\/em>was passed in 1910, it took three years for the\u00a0Federal Government\u00a0<\/em>to issue the first series of Australian notes. The Government followed the British Imperial system where twelve pence made a shilling and twenty shillings made a pound. The same Act also stopped different states and their banks from issuing and circulating their own notes. The status of\u00a0\u2018state notes\u2019<\/em>\u00a0as legal tender ceased from that time resulting in the\u00a0Commonwealth Treasury<\/em>\u00a0having full responsibility and control over\u00a0issuing notes<\/em>. In 1920 however, control was transferred to a\u00a0Board of Directors<\/em>\u00a0directly appointed by the\u00a0Commonwealth Government<\/em>.

By the end of 1924, a number of changes took place regarding the control of note-issuing, the most significant being the replacement of the Commonwealth Government Board of Directors by the\u00a0Commonwealth Bank Board of Directors<\/em>. Gradually, the Commonwealth Bank became the sole authority to issue Australian notes. This authority was formalised in 1945 by the\u00a0Commonwealth Bank Act<\/em>. In 1960, control was passed to another authority, the\u00a0Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)<\/em>, which took over the responsibility of central banking and the issuing of notes. In 1966 the RBA converted its currency from the Imperial system to decimal currency and named its standard currency the\u00a0dollar<\/em>.

In the 1970\u2019s Australia experienced rapid growth in its economy and population. This growth meant that more currency would need to be printed so the RBA began the construction of a new\u00a0note printing<\/em>\u00a0complex in Melbourne. In 1981, the first batch of notes was printed in the new complex by the printing branch of the RBA which, in 1990, was officially named\u00a0Note Printing Australia<\/em>. In addition to larger-scale note printing, the RBA also concentrated on developing technologically\u00a0advanced and complex note printing mechanisms<\/em>\u00a0to guard against counterfeiting. As a result of joint efforts by the RBA and the\u00a0Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)<\/em>, revolutionary\u00a0polymer notes<\/em>\u00a0were invented. Featuring exclusively a pictorial theme of settlement incorporating elements of Aboriginal culture, commemorative $10 polymer notes were introduced in 1988 as part of\u00a0Australia\u2019s bi-centennial celebrations<\/em>.

The basic idea of developing polymer notes originated from an experiment where the RBA attempted to insert an\u00a0Optically Variable Device (OVD)<\/em>\u00a0in the notes so that counterfeiters could not copy them. Over the years, a process has evolved in the production of polymer note printing which involves several steps. Initially, blank sheets are made out of a special kind of surface material called\u00a0Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP)<\/em>\u00a0– a non-fibrous and non-porous polymer used as an alternative to paper in note printing that has a distinctive feel when touched. Usually, a technique called\u00a0Opacifying<\/em>\u00a0is then used to apply ink to each side of the sheet through a die-cut that has a sealed space in it for the OVD \u2013 no ink is placed in this area, it remains transparent. The sheet is then ready for\u00a0Intaglio Printing<\/em>, a kind of printing which sets the ink in an embossed form, raising the printed elements \u2013 text, image, lines and other complicated shapes. The process then prints a\u00a0see-through<\/em>\u00a0registration device by matching the images on both sides, dot by dot.\u00a0 If the images on both sides do not align perfectly, then the\u00a0see-through<\/em>\u00a0device will not show any printing on it once the note is held up to a light source. As a special security feature,\u00a0Shadow Image<\/em>\u00a0Creation technique is then used by applying\u00a0Optically Variable Ink<\/em>\u00a0(OVI) which allows the print on the reverse side to be also seen. All the notes then undergo a safety and functionality test where they are placed in front of a light source to check manually whether or not the reverse side can be seen. If the notes pass the test, it is assumed that the process has been successful.

The process then moves to\u00a0Micro Printing<\/em>, which is the printing of text so small that it can only be read with a magnifying glass. The second last phase of the process is\u00a0Florescence Printing<\/em>\u00a0where some texts are printed in such a way that is only visible when viewed under\u00a0ultra-violet (UV)<\/em>\u00a0light. The authenticity of a polymer note can be quickly established by holding it up to a UV light source \u2013 if some texts glow under the UV light then the note is authentic. The last phase of the process is called varnishing, which is the over-coating of notes with a chemical that consists of drying oil, resin and thinner. This final phase makes the surfaces of the notes glossy and more durable.

Despite significant developments of technology and control, some people argue that the life of polymer notes as currency in Australia will come to an end due to the widespread usage of electronic fund transfer cards(1)<\/strong>. Whether this will come to pass remains to be seen. One thing, however, seems certain, innovation of currency notes in Australia will continue into the foreseeable future.
