2015 Election Special

The General Election is taking place on May 7th 2015. The country will have the opportunity to elect the best candidates to lead us for the next 4-5 years. Read our fun guide to the 2015 election. Politics can be fun!

So what is a General Election? Some Basic Facts to get you started

• General Elections happen every 4-5 years• Registered voters over the age of 18 have the opportunity to vote for MPs to

represent their consistency (local area)• Voters have the option to vote in secret using a ballot paper placed into a discreet

box• The political party with the most elected MPs will form the government• The leader of the winning political party will become the Prime Minister

1. Education – Vote for a party that offers you the best chances in education. Better schools, more funding, extra support…. What matters to you?

2. Tuition Fees- If you’re interested in going to university, vote for a party that can support your choice and offer you greater chances of success. Loan repayments, tuition fees, student debts…. what are you main concerns?

3. Housing- Are you keen to move out or buy a property in the future? What party is offering young people realistic

opportunities to live independently? Higher rates of rent and increasing house prices will all have an effect on your housing future!

4. Local Issues- If you have any concerns about your local area, vote for a politician that promises to make real changes. Gang violence, dirty streets, local of community centres and closed parks are all issues you can bring to politicians.

5. Make a Difference- Regardless of what your political views are, your vote matters and your voice should be heard!

Will you be 18 or over on May 7th 2015?If you’re eligible to vote on May 7th2015, here are five reasons why your vote counts.

Spring 2015 | Big Careers Magazine 05

News

Did you know?Women gained the right to vote with men in 1928 through the Equal Franchise Act.

21 and Over Please!Before 1969, voters had to be aged 21 years and over. The voting age was finally lowered to 18 years in 1969 for both men and women. Will it ever be lowered to 16? Perhaps this is an argument for lowering the voting age to 16. 21

I.D.

Steam Rolling Scots give 16 year olds the VoteIn 2014 Scottish teenagers aged 16-17 were allowed to vote in the country’s independence referendum. The voter turnout was a staggering 85%! The voter turnout for the last general election was just 65%.


News

Fun Fact – 2 Elections, 1 Year, Same Prime Minster!

The country had to vote TWICE in 1974 as there was a ‘hung parliament’- no majority winner! There was a vote in February and a second in October. Harold Wilson and his Labour party won the election and formed the government.

In some countries voting is compulsory- everyone MUST vote. If members of the public don’t vote, they can face monetary fines or in some cases prison sentences. Countries that impose strict rules on voting tend to have higher voter turnout levels of 80-90%. There are still

some exception to who can vote. These exceptions include minimum ages (18 or over) , restrictions on prisoner or exclusions of certain professional (Police and Military personnel). your political views are, your vote matters and your voice should be heard!

Vote or Go to Jail!

How Do the Big 3 Match-Up?

Labour PartyEmploymentLabour promise to guarantee a real, paid, starter job to every 18 to 24 year old who has been claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance for more than a year.ApprenticeshipsLabour aim to build a new post-18 apprenticeship and vocational education system to drive up the number of quality apprenticeships.Economy Labour would like to increase the minimum wage to £8 per hour.University Labour want to cut fees to £6000 per year.

Conservatives Party ApprenticeshipsThe Conservatives want to create 3 million more apprenticeships. EmploymentThe Conservatives want Young people out of work, education or training for six months to do unpaid community work. EducationThe Conservatives aim to protect the education budget from reception level (4 Year olds) to GCSE level (16 year olds). Post 16 education has not been included on this ring-fence of budget protection.Economy The Conservatives want to raise the taxable income level to £12,500. At present, workers start to pay tax after earning £10,500 per year. Therefore, if you get paid £10,500 per year or less, you do not pay any tax on your income.

Liberal Democrats EducationLiberal Democrats are calling for compulsory Personal, Social and Health Education in schools. EconomyLiberal Democrats promise to give 16-21 year olds in England a 66% discount on bus travel.

ApprenticeshipsLiberal Democrats want to create even more apprenticeships and are proud of the 2million they have help create in coalition with the Conservatives.

Interview Questions You Don’t Expect

How did you find the Interview? The interviewer wants to know how you found the entire interview process- for example the questions asked, the length of the interview and your opinion of the company. This question gives you a great opportunity to offer positive feedback about the company and express how excited you are about the prospect of working for them. Tip: Always offer positive feedback. If you struggle to think of feedback, use some of our starter lines ‘This was a great interview-You made me feel very welcome’ ‘This interview felt more like a conversation than an interview - I felt at ease the entire time’‘ The interview was positive, I think I will be a great fit to the company’

What is your main skill area?The interviewer wants to find out what relevant skills you possess for the job. Ensure that you only speak about the skills that are required for the role and give suitable example of how you have used each skill.

Supporting your skills with ‘real life’ examples is essential for convincing the interviewer that you are the best candidate for the job. Tip: Re-read the job description before the interview to remember 3-4 main skills required for the role. Use these skills as the main basis of your answer.

How would your rate your communication skills from 1-10 (1-poor / 10-Fantastic)? The interviewer is testing your ability to be reflexive of your skills and abilities. It is important to be confident in your abilities and skills. However, it is equally important to understand that you have room for growth and improvement. Always be honest when answering a reflective questions as you will have to ‘prove’ your skill level if you are successful in the interview! Tip: Think about the type of role you are applying for. Some companies might prefer a 10/10 answer (e.g. Sales Person role). Others may prefer a modest 7/10 answer (Administration Assistant).

Questions to expect

Interview tips



What do you think of our branding?The interviewer has a genuine interest in your opinion and feedback on their current branding. If your role involves marketing or design, answer the question with complete honesty. They will be keen to find out if you have any ideas for improvement or appreciate any of the design elements used. If you’re role is not design or marketing related, provide feedback that relates to the company’s ‘image’. For example, does the branding reflect the company’s community nature? Or do the colours represent the company’s creative personality? Or perhaps the logo is symbolic of the work they do?

Tip: Always be polite when offering constructive criticism. What do you do in your free time? The Interviewer is trying to gain a better understanding of your personality and ability to ‘fit in’ with the team. Many companies have extra activities that they put on for their staff including company football teams, free gym memberships and chess clubs. By expressing your interests they will see how compatible you are with the rest of the team. Tip: Always speak about the positive things you do with your free time. Sleeping till noon, watching catch-up TV or chilling with friends are not the best activities to advertise! Can you work without supervision? The answer to this question must always be ‘yes’. The interviewer needs to be reassured that you can work on your own and complete tasks without constant supervision. As standard, most companies will offer training or instructions before work begins. However, it is essential that employees can ‘have a go’ and use their own initiative before directly asking for help. It is also vital that employees can continue to work hard without their line manager or supervisor present. Tip: Give examples of when you have worked without supervision or when you have been asked to cover a senior role in someone’s absence. For example, I had to lock-up the shop on my own as my manager was off sick.

The arts and creative sectors in Britain are booming. More people are taking up acting and singing classes, while others are enrolling on creative courses at university and college. If the creative sector inspires you, read our information guide below. Get creative, get inspired, get a big career!

Routes into Creative Sector

UniversityUniversities offer a variety of creative undergraduate degrees. If you choose to take this route, we recommend that you apply to a university that offer a vocational element to the course. This can include working with a local production company, links with creative theatres or the ability to perform in shows/productions. With univer-sity degree costing £9000 per year, this might not be the best option for everyone. Conduct lots of research and speak to cur-rent students on the university course. Apprenticeship There has been a rise in the number of apprenticeships in the creative sector. Creative apprenticeships include Music, DJ-ing, Acting, Dance and Production. Creative apprenticeships are a great route into the sector if you would like to:Earn a wage while you learnGain real experience while learningAchieve a qualification without paying £9000 per year tuition! Speak to local colleges about their creative apprenticeships or visit a local theatre com-pany that have apprenticeship vacancies.

Private CoursesPrivate courses or classes can be taken to strengthen or improve your skills. They have the benefit of flexibility (evening, part-time , weekend) and not interfering with your current course or job. If you choose this route, make sure you check the credi-bility of your teacher and ask for referenc-es. Course prices will vary depending on the location and level of expertise (of the teacher).

Good Old Fashion Luck! Some of the most famous actors, singers and musicians have no formal training or qualifications. They simply achieved their successful through hard work, auditioning and good old fashion luck! If this is the route for you, make sure you attend plenty of auditions and castings – you just never know.
