Security Guards work for a Security Agency/Company that gets hired by third parties to protect and guard their assets (e.g. property, people, equipment, or money). They can be armed or unarmed and use specialized equipment and tactics to do their job. Security Guards use various types of equipment to do their job (e.g. video cameras, motion sensors, alarms, and lethal or non-lethal weapons, always in compliance with regulations). The level of security required and the means to protect an asset will depend on the client’s profile and what they are intending to protect.
Security Guards are often stationed guarding private and public institutions, private property, and residences. Many companies hire the services of specialized Security Agencies to protect their assets. However, some companies are big enough to have their own security staff. The grand majority of Security Guards wear uniforms to properly identify themselves and the agency they work for, as well as to create a sense of authority.

The basic premise of kinesiology is that the body has its own healing energy and is doing its best to care for itself, but sometimes needs a little help to achieve this state. Kinesiology, therefore, may be understood as a system of natural health care which combines muscle monitoring with the principles of Chinese medicine to assess energy and body function. The kinesiologist enables this process by applying a range of gentle yet powerful healing techniques to improve health, well-being and vitality.
Kinesiologists tap into energies that other modalities do not assess. They look beyond the symptoms, and do not diagnose or treat named diseases. In fact, they do not limit themselves to dealing with ailments, since energy balancing can bring a person closer to achieving any goal of their choice, whether in sport, relationships, learning or coping with life in general. They are concerned with imbalances in the body’s energy, and in this respect, have close links with the acupuncture concept of energy flow. A kinesiologist recognizes that there are flows of energy within the body that relate not only to the muscles but to every tissue and organ that go to make the body a living, feeling being.
Kinesiologists apply muscle testing to identify and correct energy blockages within the body; it is a natural feedback system which receives information via nerve pathways and the meridian system of the brain and body. This muscle feedback system gives instant access into the holistic information held by the subconscious brain. A weak muscle test can therefore be an indicator that stress is having a tellingly negative effect somewhere in the system. By accessing the bio-system via this muscle monitoring tool, kinesiologists can get quite specific and very quickly come up with the right answers.

Cabin Crew are in many ways the faces of airlines. They take care of passengers, tending to their needs, comfort, and safety during a flight. The primary duty of the Cabin Crew is to ensure passenger safety during flights by adhering to safety regulations. They are also tasked with serving meals and drinks to passengers, but this is mostly a secondary responsibility.
Cabin Crews are employed by airlines and most of them work in commercial flights, although there is also a market for private cabin crews (e.g. private charter planes or jets). Depending on the size of the plane, international safety regulations demand a certain number of cabin crew to be on board the aircraft. The standard rule is that there should be one Flight Attendant for each 50 passengers. Although most Cabin Crew in the majority of airlines are female, there has been an increasing number of male Cabin Crew in the last years.
Work Duties:
Greeting and helping passengers board the plane.
Helping passengers with their carry-ons.

Receptionists are usually the very first point of contact with whom clients and employees will be interacting when contacting an organization. Their main duty is to greet visitors and show them to the person best suited to assist them. They also address clients and employees’ phone and in-person inquiries, schedule and confirm appointments, and answer information requests.

Media relations is a subset of public relations that focuses on sharing the benefits of an organization’s products, policies, or services through news media outlets. The goal is to maximize positive coverage in the media and protect the client organization from negative coverage when things go wrong. Unlike public relations as a whole, media relations is limited to working directly with the press, rather than the general public.
Like all of public relations, media relations is both an art and science, and each situation presents a unique set of challenges. Media relations workers spend much of their time cultivating relationships with journalists, and translating the media’s needs back to clients. Employees must become adept at understanding the requirements of various media outlets, and figuring out how to target their client’s message to each one.
Media relations workers generally develop what’s called a “press kit,” which provides information on the company’s history or background, information on its services and products, biographical information on the organization’s leaders, and contact information. Media relations employees will also work with their clients to develop a playbook of media strategies, as well as talking points for specific news events. They also write press releases on a regular basis.
Media relations workers may also need to counsel clients about the realities of the media environment, which include tight schedules, the need for “hooks” and “angles” that will keep the news fresh, and the requirement to preserve objectivity. Clients may need to be convinced of the fact that the news media choose their own stories, which means that media relations employees can’t always control the stories about their organization.
The Internet has changed the industry in several ways. Many press kits are now online, making them potentially easier to access. However, the online environment has in some cases made the client’s message more difficult to control. There are often hundreds, if not thousands, of online outlets covering each industry, and it may be impossible to monitor each one. Fact-checking by the crowd has become easier and more commonplace, which means companies must be scrupulously honest about their activities. On the plus side, social media has created significant new opportunities for companies to share their message.
Many media relations workers are former journalists, who have developed the necessary communications skills and possess a strategic understanding of the media industry. Regardless of their background, media relations workers spend a large portion of their job staying up to date with broadcast, print, and online media. They know their way around a television remote, and their RSS readers are always packed with content.
