          1. Organizing a portfolio<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            A portfolio is a collection of financial investments like stocks, bonds, commodities, cash, and cash equivalents, including closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). A portfolio may contain a wide range of assets, including real estate, art, and private investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Steps to organizing a portfolio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. Collect the details<\/strong>: Data, files, photos, and all other documents as required for the portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            2. Organise and prepare:<\/strong> Convert and export any files that you need in a specific format. Organize your details in the order you want to present them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            4. Social media<\/strong>: Connecting your online portfolio with Facebook or Twitter is an excellent idea to keep your day to day or project by project updates flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Types of customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            A customer is an individual, group of individuals or an organization who receives or may receive goods, services, products, or ideas from another individual or a company in return for value which can be money or anything of equivalent value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            FOLLOWING ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CUSTOMERS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. Loyal Customers-<\/strong> These types of customers are less in numbers but promote more sales and profit as compared to other customers, as these are the ones who are completely satisfied. Loyal customers want individual attention, and that demands polite responses from the supplier.<\/li>
            2. New Customer<\/strong>: The new customer is the one who has used the product or service for the first time from a particular organization or a company. Such customers can switch from a competitor brand or maybe a new entrance into the market. <\/li>
            3. Need-Based Customer<\/strong>s- These customers are product specific and only buy items only to which they are habitual or have a specific need for them. It is difficult to satisfy these customers because they don’t become a part of buying most of the time. These customers could be lost if not tackled efficiently with positive interaction.<\/li>
            4. Discount Customer<\/strong>: Those who only buy or use the offering because it was on discount or offered a cashback. These people are more likely to switch brands easily if prices reduce, unlike loyal customers.<\/li>
            5. Impulse customers:<\/strong> This customer is quick to buy when something catches their eye, but isn\u2019t always the best at reading the fine print. So in situations where these types of customers get a product that isn\u2019t exactly what they thought it was, they might be impulsive in calling customer support as well.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              3. Characteristics of work ethics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              A simple definition of \u2018ethics\u2019 would be a set of moral principles. The word derives from the Greek concept of \u2018ethos\u2019, which means \u2018the characteristic spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              We can summarize the characteristics of work ethics under three major heads \u2014 interpersonal skills, initiative, and being dependable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Interpersonal Skills<\/strong>: Interpersonal skills include our habits, attitudes, manners, appearance, and behavior we use around other people. This affects how we get along with other people. Our interpersonal skills develop early in our lives. Our family, friends, and our observation of our immediate world influence our attitudes and interpersonal skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Initiative: <\/strong> Initiative is a very important characteristic in modern times. It means the ability to act or take charge before others do. Direct supervision is often not a feature of the modern workplace. Without initiative, we may delay things and miss opportunities, which can cause problems for us. And if our performance is poor, we may lose our job and may not get another chance to prove our worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Being dependable<\/strong>: Being dependable is a highly valued quality in the modern workplace. This concept includes honesty, reliability, and being on time. People who are not dependable can cause extra expenditure, emergencies, and wastage of time, not take initiative, and not use resources well. Sometimes lack of dependability can have serious consequences like losses of different kinds, even loss of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              4. Three stages of a presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              There are three broad stages in a presentation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              a) Beginning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              b) Body of the presentation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              c) Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              a) Beginning<\/strong>: At the <\/strong>beginning of the presentation, the presenter greets the audience. (Good morning\u2019…, \u2018welcome\u2019 etc.). Then the presenter states the topic of the presentation, simply and briefly. In doing this, the presenter may define any term or concept that is new to the audience. This is an important point to remember since the audience can comprise business people or laypersons or both. The presenter must know the level of the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              b) Body of the presentation<\/strong>: In the body of the presentation,<\/strong> which is the main part of the presentation, the most important aspect is the sequencing of ideas. For each idea, the following sequence may help: Give the main idea Explain the related idea e.g. Cause, reason, link Show its result, effect or implication<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              c) Conclusion: <\/strong>The conclusion of a presentation is important because, mostly, an audience will remember a presentation\u2019s beginning and ending most clearly. The ending should summarize the main points of the presentation and create a lasting impression in the minds of your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              5. The importance of cultural awareness in a multicultural workplace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Cultural awareness is all about recognizing and understanding that we all have different values shaped by our diverse cultural backgrounds. Cultural awareness is important to help members of a multicultural team identify where things may be going wrong or how to best leverage their differences. Cultural awareness helps us break down cultural barriers, build cultural bridges, and learn how to love, and appreciate those different from us. We can relate better to people with cultural differences as we begin to understand ourselves better. This results in more cultural connection and less cultural conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
