Typical characters on public buses

The cover story of Phase magazine, out with The Times tomorrow, is a lighthearted piece depicting typical stereotype characters found on public buses. Mark Scicluna's caricatures promise to make the cover story the perfect summer comic read.

The sixth issue of Phase features a dissertation by Dayena Petrova, a graduate in tourism studies, dealing with the catering industry and the impact of hygiene on the tourism sector.

Face of Phase is a new series focusing on individuals who can inspire others, are ambitious and have a unique sense of style and strong beliefs.

In the career and education sections, Phase advises readers how to prepare successfully for a job interview by asking a few experts in the field - human resources managers from three organisations - for tips and common mistakes to avoid during an interview.

The National Commission for Higher Education provided Phase with research on skill shortages and job potentials and skills that are likely to be in demand within the next 10 years in Malta.

Brian Campbell introduces some of the best Maltese deviant artists, some of whose work is showcased in the magazine.

Two new young poets feature in the poetry section.

With the help of Tip Top's professional instructor, Lawrence Agius, Phase offers four pages with free workout sessions. Nutrition tips are practical and compliment the fitness section.

A closer look is taken at patients with scoliosis and how early diagnosis and proper treatment can cure the condition.
