How To Select A Home Computer
Computers are very versatile. They can do many things such as teaching, playing games, or helping with a business, so choosing a computer is not an easy, simple job. But if you follow these steps, you will find it easier.
First, decide on the main reasons that you want a computer. Is this computer very useful for you? Is the most important reason to play games or to help with your business or to help with your school work?
Second,look carefully at the programs the computer can use. Some people also write their own programs. If you want to write your own, it is important to look at the computer language. Is it easy to learn?
Third, decide the smallest, or the least needs you have for your computer. What are the characteristics you would like to have? For example, do you want a typewrite keyboard? Is a colour display important to you? Your use of the computer will help you decide which characteristics are necessary,which are nice, and which are unnecessary.
Fourth ,when you have limited your choices to a few computers,look at the secondary uses and programs. For example,if your main reason for buying a home computer is to play games, you may take Computer A instead of Computer B because Computer A also can be used as word processor.
Fifth, think of the price. There are prices to think about. The first price is the price you must pay to take the computer home. The second is the price of additional programs and possible additions that you might want to buy at a later date.
Be sure to try out the computer before you buy it. Sales people at computer shops are happy to help you choose the computer that will best fit your needs and cost you least.

Let me tell you a story about Bert and Mildred Bumbridge, who used to be very forgetful. For example, Mildred would forget to cook dinner, or Bert would show up for work on Sunday thinking it was Monday. One summer, they were to take a long plane trip. What do you suppose happened? Well, they got to the airport with only ten minutes to spare. In that situation, anyone would board the plane right away. But not'Mr, and Mrs. Bumbridge. They just had to buy some flight insurance first. After all, who knows what will happen on a plane flight? They quickly put some coins into a machine and out came their insurance policy. “Who would get the money if we crash, I wonder?” asked Mildred. “My mother, of course,” her husband replied. “We'll mail the policy to her. Now quick, give me a stamp ,will you?” he said. “The plane is going to take off in another minute.” Bert put the stamp on the envelope, dropped it in the mail box, and suddenly let out a cry. What happened, do you suppose? He had mailed their plane tickets to his mother!

An employer has several choices he can consider when he wants to hire a new employee. First,he may look within his own company. But if none of the present employees are suitable for the posi- tion,he will have to look outside the company. If his company has a personnel office, he can ask them to help find qualified applicants.
There are other valuable sources the employer can use, such as employment agencies, profes- sional societies and so on. He can also advertise in the newspapers and magazines and ask prospec- tive candidates to send in resumes.
The employer has two kinds of qualifications to consider when he wants to choose from among applicants. He must consider both professional qualifications and personal characteristics. A candidate's professional qualifications include his education, experience and skills. These can be listed on a resume. Personal characteristics must be evaluated through interviews.
