What does EAG stand for? Employment Advisory Group
Know Your Rights! The weekly roundPublic up... Holiday Entitlements
What is involved with an EAG? The primary purpose is to advise on the needs of the industries with which NZMA is most closely associated. Members are selected on the basis of their expertise in the appropriate industry. Advisory feedback is utilised where appropriate for programme development. Earlier in the month of July, Auckland South Campus (ASC) hosted the Business EAG Breakfast. Representatives from various Business organisations were in attendance to share their knowledge and experiences, from their current roles in their organisations but also other previous roles they have held. What feedback was received? The following feedback points were noted:
All Business programmes offered have a good breadth in regards to their area of study
Soft skills are important—specifically time management, communication skills, personal presentation & active listening skills
Competency in MS Word, specifically Word, Excel & Outlook is highly regarded
Avoid the use of ‘slang’ within interviews and day-to-day business practice
As part of the Feed-forward process, Careers then provided a brief summary of the meeting outcomes to each of the Business classes at ASC, to increase their awareness of industry expectations and to provide additional motivation in their journey here at NZMA. Thank you to IRD, ANZ, Barfoot & Thompson and the Business tutorial staff for their participation.

21st July—27th July Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori—Maori Language Week The theme this year is 'Te Kupu o te Wiki', 'The Word of the Week’. This week began in 1975 amid concerns about the health of the language. It has now grown into a week of community celebrations. This year Maori Language Week is being used to launch a year long project. Each week, a new word will be introduced along with its translation and usage. A word that we can use often in this weather is "Makariri". It means cold.
Remember if you need any support, advice, counselling or just someone to listen, you can contact Amy across each of NZMA’s campuses. Her contact details are also listed below so get in touch!

time of year. Despite all the brightly coloured and expensive packets that line the pharmacy walls, the truth is, there is not much you can do except keep your fluids up, take vitamin c and wait it out. While you are at it, you may as well become an expert on sneezing. 1. Your sneezes travel up to 100 miles per hour. At least, according to some. The brave "MythBusters" guys actually timed theirs, clocking those sneezes between 30 and 35 miles per hour. 2. Their germ-ridden spray can land pretty far away. Some guess you'll spread in a fivefoot radius, others have wagered mucus lands as far as 30 feet away. At that rate, there's practically no escaping those germs! 3. We sneeze to give our noses a reboot. In 2012, researchers figured out why, precisely, we sneeze, and what's supposed to happen when we do. Science Daily reported:
4. Sunlight causes many people to sneeze. Feather, pepper, colds, flus and pesky allergies aren't the only reasons we let a sneeze rip. Theories abound to other causes, but one in particular has been scientifically studied: bright light. About one in four people sneeze in sunlight, a reaction called aphotic sneeze reflex, LiveScience reported. Scientists don't entirely understand why this happens, but expect that the message the brain receives to shrink the pupils in the presence of bright light may cross paths with the message the brain receives to sneeze.
Much like a temperamental computer, our noses require a "reboot" when overwhelmed, and this biological reboot is triggered by the pressure force of a sneeze. When a sneeze works properly, it resets the environment within nasal passages so "bad" particles breathed in through the nose can be trapped.

Know 5. It's quite normal Your to sneezeRights in twos or threes. Those "bad" partiStudents volunteer for cles trapped in the nasal passages and expelled by sneezes aren't exactly sprinting to the exit. It often takes more than one attempt to kick those irritants out, which can lead to multiple sneezes in a row, Everyday Health reported.

6. Your eyes close involuntarily. Despite the panic it instills if you happen to be driving when you feel a sneeze coming on, there's not much you can do to keep your peepers
8. A sneeze is better out than in.
open. Part of the message the brain receives
First, an important distinction: There's the type of stifling that occurs when you feel like you might need to sneeze, and then there's the type of stifling where the sneeze is already halfway out of your face.
in the lead-up to a sneeze is to close those eyes. It's an involuntary reflex similar to the way your knee reacts when your doctor taps on it with that teeny-tiny hammer, NBC News reported. A sneeze can't, however, pop your eye out, like some tall tales would have you believe. 7. Your heart does not stop when you sneeze. Despite the persistent urban legend, your heart does not skip a beat mid-sternutation (fancy word for sneezing alert!). What may happen, according to the New York Times, is that the heart rate naturally slows -just a tad. This is due to both the deep breath most people take before sneezing and the stimulation of the vagus nerve that occurs during a sneeze.
In the latter case, whether you're in church or at a movie or in a lecture, stop trying to stuff that sneeze back in. While rare, it can lead to injuries, including broken blood vessels in the eyes, weakened blood vessels in the brain, ruptured ear drums or problems with the diaphragm. 9. But you can quiet the urge to sneeze. If you only have that sneeze-on-its-way tingly feeling, there are a few tricks that seem to nip a sneeze in the bud, Wild told LiveScience. Try rubbing your nose, pressing on your upper lip underneath your nose or forcing a big, deep breath out your nose. 9 facts retrieved from Huffington Post: www.huffingtonpost.com
