Snowsill wins women's triathlon

BEIJING // Emma Snowsill of Australia has won the Olympic women's triathlon, pulling away from the pack at the beginning of the 10km run to finish over a minute ahead of the field. Vanessa Fernandes of Portugal won the silver, and Emma Moffatt of Australia came across the finish line nearly 20 seconds later for the bronze. Four years ago, Australia's Loretta Harrop ran alone for over a half-hour before being passed only a few seconds away from the finish by Kate Allen. This year, Snowsill had time to grab a flag, pull up and wave for a bit before strolling across. Snowsill, ranked No. 3 in the world, was the world champion in 2003, 2005 and 2006. She is also a nine-time World Cup winner.

Tips for job-seekers

Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.
