Transform your CV – It’s not desirable to most consultancy hiring managers to submit a CV longer than two pages. Read more about Political & Social advocacy here. They expect their consultants to be succinct, strategic, able to summarise the key points. A long project-orientated CV doesn’t do that, you need to highlight impact and measurability, tell them what you achieved in each role, and how you presented to and convinced C-Level or Board-level to get buy-in. If you do submit an elongated verbose CV then unfortunately their concerns that you wouldn’t transition well to consulting are probably valid.
EVMs were introduced in India on an experimental basis in 1998 in a select few constituencies in state assembly elections. The objective of using EVM technology in India was to strengthen the electoral processes and to reduce the costs of conducting elections. Upon preliminary success, the technology was then rolled out in a phased manner for subsequent assembly elections. Innovations in technology have rapidly transformed democracies in the last two decades. One area where digital technology’s relevance and impact has often been debated is the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) in the choice of political leaders. Compared to a pencil-and-paper system, technology has tremendous potential to empower citizens, amplify their voices, and allow citizens to hold governments accountable.

Some in Congress say the fact that the party could still get 69 seats with a 39.5% vote share meant all was not lost, unlike in 2013 when Congress dropped to 21 seats. Smith and his colleagues say they know Vanguard will have its detractors, particularly as it starts working in more countries.
However, existing research shows that some abstainers report having voted when they in fact did not (Granberg and Holmberg, Reference Granberg and Holmberg1991; Selb and Munzert, Reference Selb and Munzert2013). If this misreporting is correlated with other traits, analysis based on the data can be biased. One possible solution to reduce the incentive to overreport is to reframe the turnout question. However, existing research shows that some abstainers report having voted when they in fact did not (Granberg and Holmberg, 1991; Selb and Munzert, 2013). An ODIHR election observation mission (EOM) consists of a core team of experts, long-term observers (LTOs), and short-term observers (STOs). Candidates for all positions must be citizens of OSCE participating States, excluding the country where the election is taking place. Other ODIHR observation activities (limited observation missions, election assessment missions and election expert teams) comprise a smaller number of mission members.

Stacy Chen, 43, said she has always voted for DPP because “Taiwan is an independent country.” She said she wanted her son to grow up in a country that is separate from China. Of course, this election is about local issues — from the cost of housing to better care for the elderly. “I’ve got a joke for you,” says radio afficionado Robin Hsu, 52, who blogs on Facebook. “In Taiwan, the people are free to criticize the president. And in China, the people are also free to criticize the president — of Taiwan.” Chan and his fellow vloggers said the Chinese flights were intimidation meant to influence voters to cast ballots for Taiwanese politicians who favor closer ties with China. “Hong Kong’s experience in recent years is something that the Taiwanese most assuredly do not want for themselves,” said Cole, of the International Republican Institute in Taipei.
Some on the left have long urged the Democrats to reclaim the party’s populist and New Deal roots and thus emerge, once more, as a true majority party. According to this logic, going “big” should have resulted in a far more favorable electoral environment for Biden today. He has gone “big,” and a president with Biden’s raft of domestic accomplishments should be favored to win under conventional conditions. His party would likewise be poised to make inroads in several districts usually deemed safe for Republicans. “China meddles every time Taiwan holds elections, but this time it is the most serious we have ever seen,” said Lai in the runup to the election.
