Having a well-thought-out and interesting cover letter that describes and demonstrates relevant qualifications will ensure that the hiring manager identifies you as a great match for the advertised role. A nursing cover letter is specific to applying for a graduate role in nursing, nurse training or even for a promotion in another facility or hospital. A good CV is still important, of course, but a nursing cover letter allows you to personalize your application to the specific role advertised for a particular facility....

We’re starting week two of Project Cactus, the vehicle that I bought as a parts car for this — a former Kangaroo hunting ute: I’d purchased the ‘roo shooting ute above on a whim after Laurence — a Dubbo, New South Wales-based reader whom I’d met over Instagram — saw that I’d been daily-driving a crusty 1965 Plymouth Valiant in Michigan. A huge Valiant fan and a frequent reader of my stories about arduously swinging wrenches to bring old junkers back to life, Laurence showed me some listings in his area of Chrysler Valiant Utes (not Plymouths, and not sedans like the Valiants in the U....

Yes, in the 1950s, the dream of freshly-sizzled hot dogs while tearing ass down an open, two-lane highway was no longer a dream, but a reality, thanks to a dozen volts of electrical power and genuine American innovation. That newspaper clipping on the left pops up on sites all over the internet, but so far I haven’t located the original source paper. Sometimes there’s a different headline, so I suspect this was a syndicated story from a wire service that ran as filler in many papers....

First, however, let’s see where you were willing to compromise: Looks like you chose bros over Broughams. In my younger days, I probably would have agreed, but as I get older, I value comfort and originality more and more in cars, so given the choice between these two, call me the Omegaman. Now then: Imagine, if you will, that you are a member of an international gang of jewel thieves....

In a common situation such as this, reliance on strong managerial personalities is what ensures success. Your management style not only helps you achieve results in the long run, but it can also support your team’s daily performance. If you work in an active environment, where the goals and targets change regularly, your leadership style is an essential part of managing the changing environment. Daniel Goleman, a well-regarded researcher in psychology and emotional intelligence, is credited with developing the six leadership styles theory....

I’ll allow my younger, 26 year-old self to explain how thrilled I was to have bought this 1991 Jeep Cherokee in September of 2018: Reading that last sentence, “I need nothing more in this life,” reminds me of just how much of a rollercoaster car ownership can be. I was so excited to own my very favorite version of my very favorite Jeep, but then the machine kept breaking. In my previous article, I listed all the parts I’ve had to replace in the 100-ish miles I’ve ever driven this Jeep since buying it....

Successful children will be eligible to apply for district G&T programs within NYC or citywide programs. The benefit of having your child in a G&T program is that they will spend a large section of their education learning with other gifted children, using techniques and resources designed to enhance learning experiences. NYC G&T Gifted Programs G&T programs are not required to follow any standardized curriculum. So long as they meet the Common Core Learning Standards in math, English and science, the schools are free to choose their own learning program....

“Oh, shit” says Fancy Lady Journalist knowingly, rolling her eyes. “Vat…vat eez dis noise?” asks the international correspondent. Lady sighs, “It’s just some losers that I used to work with.” Suddenly the whole driveway of the club is filled by a white 1981 General Motors RTS city bus covered in lurid graphics of cars and white guys. The bus crawls to a stop and hisses, lowering down to its haunches....

This week, I’ve returned to my roots a bit and none of today’s picks have a six-figure price tag. In fact, everything here will have a list price under $50,000. Yet, there will be plenty of sweet rides to drive home in. Here’s what I’m looking at this week! 1970 Chrysler 300 – $24,900 The first Chrysler 300, built in 1955, got its name from the 331 cubic inch V8 under the hood that made 300 gross horsepower....

Last week, I handed Parts Bin Puzzle to our lovely daydreaming designer, the Bishop. In his entry, the Bishop took beautiful AMCs and pulled from the parts bins of other automakers to prepare them for export to France. In doing so, he created some wild alternate reality vehicles. His Matador sedan borrowed from the European Ford Granada, the Matador coupe borrowed from the Citroën Ami 6, and the Gremlin borrowed from the Vauxhall Cavalier....

Those new caveats haven’t gone over all that well with several automakers, other countries, and EV buyers. There’s a lot of confusion regarding how to even correctly quantify and identify the percentage of an EV’s battery mineral content or the source of assembly for many of the smaller pieces that make up a battery. In order to clarify this confusion, the U.S. Treasury Department said it would issue guidance by March 31....

Welcome to The Morning Dump, bite-sized stories corralled into a single article for your morning perusal. If your morning coffee’s working a little too well, pull up a throne and have a gander at the best of the rest of yesterday. I Woke Up In A Certified Pre-Owned Bugatti If you’re like me, you can’t afford a new Bugatti. Hey, some of us have regular jobs and didn’t do something insanely lucrative like invent canned soup....

The market for small commercial vans in America is dwindling. For a while, Americans could get their hands on a commercial van that wasn’t just a minivan with blanked out windows. In 2009, Ford started bringing over its Transit Connect. Nissan followed it up with the NV200, with General Motors badge-engineering it into the Chevrolet City Express. Mercedes-Benz made a showing with the Metris, and Ram arrived on scene with its ProMaster City....
