Respect is…
“a feeling or understanding that any person is important and should be treated in a good way.” Respect is demonstrated by appreciating your partner(s) opinions, and decisions. It’s about deciding and marking limits, listening to your partner when they say “Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe.”

Equality is…
“being equal in status, rights, and opportunities.” Power is balanced by (and between) the people in the relationship. Decisions are made together.

Safety is…
“the condition of being protected from danger, risk, or injury”. It is safety with and from each other in the relationship. Safety is about knowing that your partner won’t intentionally hurt you — physically, emotionally, or psychologically. It’s knowing that they care for your general well-being.

Trust is…
“the belief that a person is reliable, good, honest.” A mutual trust that the partners in the relationship can believe one another and be good to one another. Trust is about knowing that you aren’t manipulated.

What makes a relationship healthy? Unhealthy? These four things, to start. (Part 1)

Published on 3 May, 201915 May, 2022 by aldanapiresLeave a comment

Relationships are influenced by our gender, our sexuality, and many other aspects of our identity. These aspects are going to determine what we consider good or bad, desirable or detestable, healthy or unhealthy. It is very complex, but there are four elements that are required for a healthy relationship. They’re not sufficient, but they are necessary.
The four things that are needed for a healthy relationship are: respect, equality, safety, and trust. Each component can manifest in healthy ways (columns) or in unhealthy ways (shadows) in any relationship with actions and/or words.

A cover letter is a document you send with your CV (traditionally as the front cover). It allows you to highlight certain areas that make you perfect for the job.

What should a cover letter include?

Cover letters are less rigid than CVs, but there are some things you should always include:

Your personal details (e.g. name, address, phone number)
The hiring manager’s name (if you have it)
Where you found the vacancy
Why you’re suitable for the job
What you can do for the company
Closing statements and thanking.

How should a cover letter be formatted?

To make sure what you write is logical, to the point and easy to read, here are some key rules to follow for your cover letter:

Be clear and concise
Keep paragraphs short and direct
Choose a professional font
Check spelling and grammar
Use a template

How long should a cover letter be?

Around half a page of A4 (one page maximum).
It should be a little more in-depth than your CV, but keep it brief.

Do I have to have a cover letter?

You should always submit a cover letter with your CV. No exceptions.*
Not only does it show you’re serious about the job you’re applying for, it also gives you a chance to tailor your application to the role.
