...candidate who makes both functional and cultural fit for the company, especially giving approval to the candidate who turns a wrong fit later, might bear some negative impact on my credibility and reputation among the colleagues and supervisors. Based on the two premises outlined above, I believe that the most suitable of the four is the first candidate, Natalya Godlewska. Not only does she have very strong academic credentials both from her MBA and undergraduate studies, but she also has excellent references from her previous employee. Among other positive characteristics of this candidate are her determination, ambition, and readiness to work hard. She also made an impression of a go-getter with a “can-do attitude” who radiated positive energy. The reservations of the two members of the recruiting committee about her stiffness, being uncomfortable during small talk, and her “less-than-perfect” English that would possibly affect her ability to work smoothly with the managers don’t really have much merit in my opinion. I believe she has proved her social skills in the work place by the fact that she had earned high marks from her previous supervisor. Also a comment about her English seems to be superficial. After all, she was able to master the graduate level...

...Course Introduction—Religion IV (Acts) We will study the Book of the Acts of the Apostles chronologically. Many theological topics will present themselves along the way as we see the growth of the early Christian church as recorded under inspiration by Luke. We will conduct the course in a seminar format, with many topics assigned for pre-reading and research, with learning shared with the class on a daily basis. There will also be a major topic assigned (“term paper”) for research and presentation to the class. Classroom Expectations 1. Speak and listen with a generous spirit. 2. Bring a physical, printed, Bible or have a Bible app loaded and ready on your chromebook.. Load up the “Daily Questions” from your “classroom folder”. 3. Be prepared to share your insight each day into the topic shared in “The Look Ahead” section in the previous day’s “Daily Questions”. Classroom Procedures 1. Nearly every day, there will be some question that required “presearch” for the section of Acts being considered that day. 2. Nearly every day, the “Daily Questions” form should be considered, and completed with answers from yourself and the class reflected there. 3. Most often, we will study a section of Acts, with students seeking answers to questions presented by the teacher, and with students seeking life-related applications of the answers found. Grading This course is in development and in “rough form” as far as grading procedures are...

... As a result they will give you more leniency. If you want something you need to be proactive and take the initiative. One area where this is particularly important is academics. If you work hard in school it will result in getting into the college you want and getting good grades. For example math doesn’t come naturally to me so I’ve had to study and practice to get better. Also if you get your assignments done then you will also have more free time. You also need to be determined in any job you have. Employers are looking for people who they cant trust to be responsible, hard workers. If you can show them that you can efficiently get your work done, then you will be more likely to get promotions and raises. Businesses also want hardworking people to fill their management positions. Hard work is also essential in sports. This was my first year playing softball and I loved it. I want to try out for the high school team next year, but sine I’ve only played one year I need a lot of practice. I’ve had to work very hard to get to improve my skills. In conclusion, hard work is the only way to excel in life, especially in Sports, academics, and at a job. You can’t go through life assuming that people will do your work for you or that you’re not equipped to do something. You need to take charge and work...

...departmental memos, receipts from the last conference she attended, a decade's worth of professional journals...well, you get the idea. The place is a monument to the paper products industry. Now, given that Allison does her clinical work in the operating room and doesn't see patients in her office, you might think that the mess is without consequence. After all, it only affects her, not the surgeons or the patients. Moreover, it only interferes with the administrative aspects of her job, not critical patient care issues. But you'd be wrong. Allison's hospital is also a teaching hospital, which means that she's expected to write grants to bring in funds for academic research and she's supposed to publish her findings. Want to guess how many A papers Allison has published in the past two years? Zero. She justifies her lack of academic productivity by explaining that her clinical responsibilities are so onerous that she has no time to find available grants and apply for them. To be fair, she does work a long day and she doesn't get as much academic time as she'd like. But when you watch her for a while, you see that's not the whole story. Paper shuffling It turns out that on days Allison works in her office, she's awfully busy. She spends time moving paper from the left side of the desk to the right side. She spends time looking for articles and print-outs. She spends time looking for...
