My research project question was; How can a person with limited experience find a job on an Australian cattle station. My sub-questions were; Are there any skills required to work on a station? If so, what skills?, Would Uni/TAFE/school subjects etc. help me obtain a job on a cattle station?, Do I need to learn new skills? If so what?, What certificates are needed? I obtained my information from online sources, formal and informal interviews and practical experience. The majority of my information came from primary sources such as the interviews I conducted on my trip to Anna Creek Station and the experience itself. It became apparent after my trip to Anna Creek Station that obtaining a job on a station is relatively easy and

The process that gave me my most valuable information was practical experience obtained from my trip to Anna Creek Station. Centralstation.net.au gave me some really good information, a particular article “Tips for Station Newbies” was very useful as it was written from experience and it aided me on my trip to Anna Creek. Job seeking websites such as Seek.com.au and The Job Shop were excellent sources to find information about the kinds of jobs on offer, the skills you need and what the demand was like for different jobs.
I found that all the websites I used were accurate. I had to be careful using websites that were opinion based not fact based as they tended to be biased and many were hard to prove reliability. A combination of fact and opinion was the best way to complete my research as my question would be incredibly hard to answer with just facts.
I found that a combination of online information and my trip to Anna Creek was the most useful combination of sources because online information is easily assessable, has multiple types of information (e.g. journals, job offerings, etc.) and for the topic I picked mostly reliable. My Anna Creek visit was an excellent source of information because I got to talk to real life station workers, experience station life and the skills required and observe what made an ideal worker whilst learning skills myself that will be beneficial to me in the

My research question was, what jazz techniques did Sidney Bechet use and how can I use these to compose my own clarinet piece? There were different research processes used to find the answer to my question and they were: the internet, books, an interview, videos and music. These processes were useful to me as the information was accessed easily and effectively. Each process was used to find a different aspect of my research and allowed me to discover different angles and opinions on the topic. Using books, interviews and videos were new research processes for me and I discovered that they are very useful when conducting the research for this topic.
After reviewing the sources that I have gathered in my previous weeks’ assignments, I have noticed an underlying factor between them all. Some of the sources take this factor a completely different direction than what I was originally looking for, but they all have similar sections or quotes that attribute to my own personal questions and possible research topic.
Between 1840 and 1950, over fifty-three thousand people travelled the Oregon Trail. Native American exposure to diseases such as smallpox and diphtheria decimated the tribes, and that along with the encroachment of settlers on tribal lands, was the cause of much strife between Native Americans and the incoming Europeans. The Land Donation Law, a government land giveaway allotting three-hindred twenty acres to white males and six-hundred forty to married white couples, gave impetus to the western expansion and the American idea of "Manifest destiny." This promotion of migration and families also allowed America to strentghen its hold on Oregon, in the interests of displacing British claims.
I hope you find this information helpful. I included some job board and resume service websites as well (not that I’m looking for a job or anything).
One of the best vacation spots and most fun are down the shore in Wildwood, New Jersey. Wildwood consists of a boardwalk with tons of rides and fun, a beach with a beautiful ocean, and little summerhouses with ocean-side views. The best attractions though would probably be located on the boardwalk. There are so many things to see and do. Although it’s rather costly, it’s well worth it and it’s a great place for a family to share quality time together.
You have to have study background information in order to be prepare for programs or interviews. Identify stations, and introduce or close shows, using memorized scripts or by reading the little tv right beside the camera. Interview the show’s guest about their opinions and see what they think about current or upcoming events. They would have to make promotional appearances at public or private events in order to represent their current or past employees. They have to cover specific events, go into the field of important news or games that a really big deal. The hour of employees are all different because they all work at differe nt time som...
The search question guides your research and your project is revolved around it. I knew that Frank Abagnale made a lot of money during his fraudulent years, so my immediate question was: How much money did Frank Abagnale make while writing bad checks? Although this is a question that most people are curious to know it would not be substantial for me to create an entire research project around. I could find the answer on one website, and it would only be an estimate. I then tried to think of a broader question that would allow me more directions to go with my research. The second question I came up with was: How was Frank Abagnale able to imposter so many identities? But as I thought more about this I thought it would lead me to too many different answers, and it might not even be clear on how he was able to. I liked what this question was asking because it is interesting to know how he could impersonate a doctor and a lawyer. So, I just tried to improve it and I came up with: What strategies and events contributed to Frank Abagnale Jr.’s success as a con artist? This narrows in on the elements that contribute to his success as a con artist instead of just any events during his life. It also focuses on the strategies he used so I can find out more about how he was able to pull off some of his stunts. This question should provide me with information to explain how a teenager was able to steal and impersonate for years before getting caught which is what I hope to learn from this
This is a very credible site, all of their information they put out must be 100% accurate because so many people read their papers that they can't afford to ruin their
Their will always be a life changing event that happens to everyone’s, everyday life. Mine started when I went to a summer camp in El paso, Texas. The camp is on a military base named Fort Bliss. I went to this camp two times, both were equally as fun and life changing. On base they had a wide variety of leadership reaction courses waiting for us.

Internet research such as blogs and unofficial sites were valid in providing a great deal of information relevant to my topic that could assist in answering the research question however, they were all generally unreliable due to many not having an author listed and the ones that did had no qualifications in either childhood obesity or screen time. Blogs can be seen as bias as many are generally based entirely on the authors point of view and opinions.
These sites were used as a comparison, I have only linked the home pages however the entire sites were explored.

One of the most enjoyable things in life are road trips, particularly to the Colorado mountains. Getting to spend time with your family and friends, while being in a beautiful place, is irreplaceable. The fifteen-hour road trip may feel never-ending, but gazing at the mountains from afar makes life’s problems seem a little smaller and causes worries to become a thing of the past. Coming in contact with nature, untouched, is a surreal experience. My family trip to the Colorado mountains last summer was inspiring.
