Welcome to this edition of Career Talk.
We are proud to bring our Hospitality Diploma students a new option for in-
ternships in Shanghai, China. Radisson Blu hotel—New World Shanghai is keen
to take on NZMA students to complete their internships. A great opportunity!
Also inside we look at the events and activities that have been occurring around
our campuses. Waikato hospitality students have been busy with site visits and

dents while Sylvia Park has had Graduation
Ceremonies and successful students.

The Vilagrad Winery makes for a pretty nice classroom! In Level 4 Hospitality stu-
dents learn all about wine evaluation and viticulture - very important industry
knowledge! Hiren and his class from NZMA Waikato got to learn all about the pro-
cess of making wine, as well as taking part in a tasting.

The weekly round up...
August 2014
WKO Students of Level 3 – Block 4 had an engaging practical session of food and beverage service as part of unit 26308 in their studies.
It took approximately an hour and half for students to lay the tables and provide bever-age service as per industry standard.
We also took a kitchen tour where students got to see the plate warmer and portion bowl sizes as part of the unit 26308 along with checks to perform before and during the ser-vice. The kitchen order ticket system was explained where by students get to see the or-der getting processed with special requirements if any.
Mr Singh Assistant Manager of the restaurant spent 20 minutes providing them with valu-able information on complaints and feedback management and most importantly his journey as a student studying hospitality in New Zealand.

What does EAG stand for? Employment Advisory Group
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 appropri-ate industry. Advisory feedback is utilised where appropriate for programme develop-ment.
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 man-agement, communication skills, personal presentation & active listening skills
Competency in MS Word, specifically Word, Ex-cel & 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 pro-vide additional motivation in their journey here at NZMA.
Thank you to IRD, ANZ, Barfoot & Thompson and the Business tutorial staff for their participation.

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 intro-
duced 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, ad-
vice, counselling or just someone to lis-
ten, you can contact Amy across each
of NZMA’s campuses. Her contact de-
tails are also listed below so get in
touch!

4. Sunlight causes many people to sneeze.
Feather, pepper, colds, flus and pesky aller-
gies aren't the only reasons we let a
sneeze rip. Theories abound to other caus-
es, but one in particular has been scientifi-
cally studied: bright light. About one in
four people sneeze in sunlight, a reaction
called aphotic sneeze reflex, LiveScience
reported. Scientists don't entirely under-
stand 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.
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 five-
foot 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, pre-
cisely, we sneeze, and what's supposed
to happen when we do. Science Daily
reported:
Much like a temperamental computer,
our noses require a "reboot" when
overwhelmed, and this biological re-
boot is triggered by the pressure force
of a sneeze. When a sneeze works
properly, it resets the environment
within nasal passages so "bad" parti-
cles breathed in through the nose can
be trapped.
9 Facts About Sneezing
Scratchy cough, bleary eyes, sniffles, the common cold. Something we all endure at this
time of year. Despite all the brightly coloured and expensive packets that line the pharma-
cy walls, the truth is, there is not much you can do except keep your fluids up, take vita-
min c and wait it out. While you are at it, you may as well become an expert on sneezing.

5. It's quite normal to sneeze in
twos or threes. Those "bad" parti-
cles trapped in the nasal passages
and expelled by sneezes aren't ex-
actly 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
open. Part of the message the brain receives
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.
8. A sneeze is better out than in.
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 latter case, whether you're in church or at a movie or in a lecture, stop trying to stuff that sneeze back in. While ra-re, 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 tin-gly feeling, there are a few tricks that seem to nip a sneeze in the bud, Wild told LiveScience. Try rubbing your nose, press-ing on your upper lip underneath your nose or forcing a big, deep breath out your nose.
