Dear xxx,

 

Thank you for expressing your interest in employment opportunities with Unesco Alliance.

We strive to be an excellent workplace and are pleased that you would like to join our team. Enjoy your first working day!

 

Today you will be creating a winning presentation describing the area you are living.

It might be your city or province, you decide! We want it to be impressive for foreign students and get the idea how great it is to visit Indonesia or study in Indonesia .

 

How to make a presentation?

 

The foundation of every presentation should be a clear statement of the goal of the presentation. While I am sure you would agree with this, stating a clear goal is much harder than it seems.  

 

Make your presentation goals achievable with these simple  presentation tips:

 

- Describe your area, mentioning the opportunities for students.

- Include information for the most famous sightseeing, libraries, museums etc.

- Embrace as much sights of your city as possible.

- Include the information about the transportation to that places.

- Length 20-25 pages ( slides ) you can create more than 25 pages

 

Audience: Remember, our audience is youth that should be interested to visit Indonesia.

Reach out to the audience using Visual Aids. Include as much images as possible to make it more vivid and informative.

Usually kids 14-18 years old.

 

This project will require a large amount of research, planning, and design.

Plan your time wisely. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me back with your questions or call me. However, remember to be professional. As always, you should e-mail me with questions; but know that I will not be available to remedy problems immediately before the assignment is due. Make sure you plan enough time to complete the assignment and upload the file correctly.

 

The presentation should be done in MS Power point or PDF (acrobat reader)

 

While you are working on your first assignment please give me a brief report on the following questions:

 

1) Do you have a printer? 

 

2) Is there a place nearby, where you can quickly print out documents?

 

You would need a printer to print out list of educational materials and reports.

 

DUE DATE: 24 May 2016 before 5 PM (in your time zone )

 

Thank you for considering a career with Unesco Alliance.

I said to him that why should you bitcoin? Because it's not even legal in my country. And he said it's ok and convince me to register (which is I did, for me to investigate further). And I said to him through Telegram messenger that I don't want to register bitcoin after I consult my lawyer. And he replied to give me another task tomorrow, but no more task.

After doing some internet research, I found this article: https://www.scamwarners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&p=293777

Hope this usefull.
