Qualifications are obviously important, because without them it is impossible to even apply for certain positions. However, work experience is equally if not more important, especially to employers in today's economy. I will never forget the advice I received from a business man while I was in school. He told me, "You can have all the education in the world, but without experience it means nothing." I agree with him, you can read a book on how to do anything, but until you've actually done it, that knowledge can only take you so far. Real world experience truly is important.
Work experience can be a double edged sword for any new college grads, including myself. After I graduated from school, everywhere I applied wanted previous experience. I always thought to myself, "How do I get experience if no one will give me an opportunity to gain experience." Internships are very important. Any kind of experience will pay dividends when trying to obtain a new position.

In the U.S., there is such a melting pot of different nationalities, you can find a restaurant from every country in the world. I love trying different types of food, but I really enjoy spicy food.0 votedDecember 17, 20130
I am on holiday!
After a tiring year in school, I am on holiday. I will not travel to anywhere this year, so I will have to find interesting things to do at home.
I have some plans. I want to improve my English in a relaxing way: watching videos in English, listening to music, reading good books, etc. I will spend a lot of time drawing and I will try to join in a different sport.
I will also read some books for entertainment, what I mean is: books that aren't related to a school homework. Yesterday I began to read a book called "The Book of Embraces," written by Eduardo Galeano. I like it.
I want to pass my holiday as better best as possible, I'm trying to avoid feeling bored, because many teenages feel bored when they get on holiday and spend most time surfing the internet randomly or sleeping. I am not like them hehehe.Great job Gabriela!! Very few minor mistakes. Your English is excellent!

An "employee" is one person, while "staff" is the sum of all employees.
Examples:
"Maria is our best employee. I would recommend her for a raise."
"That hotel has the finest trained staff I have ever encountered, they were very hospitable."

EPN lanza iniciativa para privatizar el agua
Se dio a conocer un video clandestino donde el presidente de la república, Enrique Peña Nieto, declara frente a diferentes servidores públicos su plan de “privatizar el agua”, supuestamente con el fin de ayudar a los mexicanos a tener un mejor servicio y a ahorrar en su consumo.
En el video el presidente explica que está “harto” de ser la burla internacional, ya que México es reconocido en otras naciones como “el país en que mueres si tomas agua de la llave” y recalcó que esto no es un juego ya que incluso en varios capítulos de “South Park” se han mofado de este hecho.

I think you are thinking of the verb: Choose - to select or pick something. You could say, "I'd choose her over any other girl." or in past tense, "I chose her over all the other girls."0 votedDecember 12, 20130
It hurts to hear, "You failed." It is easy to become discouraged and quit. However, you must pick yourself up and use those feelings of pain and doubt as motivation for sucess. Some of my greatest failures has led to some of my greatest successes.
One of my favorite quotes by Dale Carnegie:
"Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success!"
