Secret shopping is just so mysterious! One of the major reasons is the wrong notion people harbor about this job. Usually, people mistake this job to be a fun stroll in various stores and malls, or maybe lavish dining in different restaurants. Alas, this is not the case! People who take this job only for the fine food and the nice items that they can buy from the stores may get disappointed.

Guys, you’re here to keep an eye on the people working in the store. Your job is to scrutinize everything that’s happening in the stores, spas, hotels, restaurants, or whatever place you’re sent to. However, you’re not here as a detective. You’re a customer, but with prying eyes! And this, you must never reveal on the job. Well, this is what secret shopping is actually about.

Yet another wrong notion about mystery shopping is that you can earn a livelihood through this job. Relax! Do not take this job so seriously that you decide to make it your career! This job is best if you are looking to work part-time. You must do it along with your regular job. Only then can you enjoy the task. Or else you’d always be worried about paying your bills, as you don’t always get lucrative assignments in this field. Read the rest of this entry »

Being a stand-up comedian is probably one of the toughest jobs in the world. Spending days, weeks, months, and even sometimes years perfecting a single comedy routine is a demanding job in itself. Going on stage and moving the audience to laughs can often be even harder.

While every stand-up comedian has his or her own ways of ensuring a successful show, there are a few tips that you may want to try to help your show go even better.

Use Your Experiences As Inspiration for Comedy

You may be the “fiction” comedy lover who likes to make jokes out of completely made-up situations, people, and settings. But many comedians use their personal experiences as the basis for the storylines in their jokes. Of course, not every situation we go through in life is comedic (let alone worthy of producing laughs). But a little exaggeration and a few imaginative additions to our real-life stories can make almost any experience “funny.”

Are you a parent? Then maybe you could build a funny story out of all the foam-padded, childproof-your-house gates, furniture protectors, and floor mats. Do you work with animals? Maybe you have a real-life incident where you were nipped that would make the crowds double over in laughter if you turned it into a story about a maniacal cat that nearly bit your head off because it did not get its hair combed to its liking. Clearly, you get the idea: real life can feed your comedy. Read the rest of this entry »

The study of media in education implicitly assumes that each medium entails some particular attributes that matter in learning depending on the symbol system it involves. Media are our cultural device for selecting, gathering, storing, and passing knowledge on in representational forms. Representation, as differentiated from direct experience, is always coded within a symbol system. If one attempted to remove picture from film, cartography from maps, or language from texts, what would be left? Media without symbol systems are as inconceivable as mathematics without numbers. If symbol systems are central to media of communication and to thinking, then the interactions and interdependence between the two systems cannot be disregarded. For an example, it is possible that symbolically different presentations of information differ as to the mental skills of processing that they require. It is also likely that the major symbol systems of the media cultivate mental skills differentially and that one learns to use media’s symbolic forms for purposes of internal representation.

It is difficult to ignore the possible role media’s symbol systems play in the cultivation of mental skill not just as a carriers of information about skills or as carriers of skill-models, but rather as the mental skills to be. Our era, the twenty first century, can be characterized as the age of media and technology. As a channel for information and entertainment mass media surrounds us day and night.
