When you know your limitations, you will also understand your strengths and how to make the most of them. The dreaded job interview question, “Tell us about your weaknesses”, will no longer leave you groping for an answer. Supported by the experience and expertise of recruiting agency training, you will be the candidate with the answers and the ability to convince your interviewers that you are the right person for the job you want.
Through a quality UK recruiter, you can find your way to a position in one of the aerospace, defence, flight crew, aviation support or rail industries. With decades of experience, UK technical recruiters have built up a quality reputation for helping graduates seeking careers in these industries with its many prestigious clients who include Rolls Royce, Airbus and Agusta Westland. When, with the help of specially trained recruitment consultants, you attend the job interview that could place you on the path to the career of your dreams, you will need to have some good answers at your fingertips if you want to stand out from the other candidates. This is particularly important for that moment when you are asked to state your weaknesses, or limitations. By asking this question, the interviewers are trying to ascertain your suitability for the role and to pinpoint the area in which you believe you would benefit by development. If you prepare at least part of your answer in advance, you will enhance your likelihood of winning the job.
The key to making a successful response to a question about your limitations is to turn it to your advantage. Rather than admitting to weaknesses, use the question to provide the interviewers with examples of your awareness of your potential for development. Instead of replying with an admission of failings, point out that any limitations you have will not affect your ability to perform successfully in the role for which you are applying. Another way to give a positive spin to the issue is by acknowledging an area in which you need development and then immediately describing how you are working to achieve this development, such as by enrolling in a course. In this way, when you are working with a UK defense recruiter to secure either a temporary or permanent position in the aerospace, defense, flight crew, aviation support or rail industries, you will be well prepared to show that while accepting your limitations, you have the initiative to address and overcome them.

Land Rover celebrates sales success
Last November, for the first time in its 59-year history, Land Rover drove through the 200,000 sales barrier. Its global sales reached 205,717, or 27 per cent ahead of the same month last year, putting the company on course for its third successive record sales year.
"This is a significant milestone in Land Rover's history and puts us on a firm footing as the marque approaches its 60th anniversary. Our sales achievement has been driven by exciting new products with improved environmental performance. Confidence is high - Land Rover is firmly in the black with our revamped product line that will continue to be prized highly by our target market," said KIG's sales and marketing manager, Kent LaCroix.
Range Rover, powered by a diesel V8 that delivers a 32 per cent fuel improvement on the petrol version it replaced (it is installed in the compact Freelander II as well), has driven sales across the world. The success of Land Rover's models peaked with even more awards for the Discovery 3, delivered by the British magazine Planet 4x4. Range Rover was voted overall runner-up - just 4.1 per cent behind the Discovery 3, and Range Rover Sport and Freelander 2 both scooping class wins.
"With the top three overall places in 2006 and a clean sweep of class awards this year, Land Rover is getting it right at just about every level. One tester after another was wowed by the Range Rover's class, the Sport's style and the Discovery's practicality," said Alan Kidd, editor of Planet 4x4 magazine.
"But what I think Land Rover can be particularly proud of is that this result comes in a competition where scores for off-roading meant almost nothing - and value for money counted towards almost a quarter of the total mark. It would be easy to write this off as a series of victories for the most expensive machines ... but, in reality, it shows that with Land Rover, you really do get what you pay for," he concluded.
Not one to rest on its laurels, Land Rover has developed a new concept vehicle that is based on trends they feel that this new buyer wants. Called the LRX, is not slated for immediate production. But it is quite a departure from LR's traditional boxy styling cues. It has put a wheel at each corner of the chassis, still retains traditional touches but has applied these appliqués in a way like never before.
Where the old template woos you with old-world civility and charm, this new concept hits you in the face with modernity. It is real swoopy. As the company prepares to celebrate its 60th anniversary during 2008, the three-door LRX, with its more compact size, lighter weight and sustainability-focused technologies, clearly addresses the needs of a changing world.
LRX is described as a cross-coupe and dramatically extends the scope of what Land Rover represents. Though 149 mm (5.9 in) shorter than the Freelander 2/LR2 and 205 mm (8.1 in) lower, LRX was conceived as a premium car, designed to appeal to new customers in the luxury and executive sector - those who want many of the benefits of a 4x4 and the presence of a larger vehicle, but in a more compact package.

Rental Cars - One of the Best Values on the Road
What if you could find a used car that you knew had been well maintained the first year of its life - regular oil changes, brakes and other parts inspected often? What if that year-old car also came with an additional warranty and a 7-day repurchase agreement?
Actually, this scenario requires no imagination. Today's used car buyer has access to a wide selection of these types of late-model, high-quality certified used cars via car rental companies.
Used rental cars often are some of the best buys in the used car market. These vehicles, while driven by multiple motorists, receive much more care than the average consumer-owned vehicle. While many used car buyers understand the advantages of a used vehicle over a new car (especially the depreciation tied to new vehicles), they may not consider the benefits of purchasing a used rental car. In 2003, 1.7 million rental cars were sold in the United States. Many were passed directly to auctions and onto used car dealerships. However, tens of thousands were selected by rental companies for their own resale businesses. These vehicles represent the "cream of the crop."
For instance, most of the vehicles on Enterprise Car Sales lots are chosen from Enterprise Rent-A-Car's fleet of more than 700,000 rental and lease vehicles. This presents a great opportunity for used car buyers to buy a quality used rental car - and all the advantages that come with the purchase.
