...Creating Your Dream Job Tanishia Skipper Denise Frevert Human Resource Management December 2, 2012 Create a job description and specifications for your dream job. My dream job would be a fashion buyer (you may know it as apparel buyer). I have always love high end fashion. As a child I would go into my mom’s closet and dress myself with her jewelry, pumps and different high end clothes. My mother always had different designer closes and shoes. I do believe that is where I began to love fashion because she would always dress very stylish. I grew to love to dress other people and show them how to put stuff together. My sisters would come and ask me what looked good together and what did not. By the time that I was 18 I would have my family members asking me about fashion. Then before I knew it it was something that I was doing naturally. I have come to realize that most people have no idea as to what all is involved in fashion. People do not understand that fashion does not only include putting colors together. I have a cousin that is a fashion buyer with Neiman-Marcus. She has been working for them for about 10 years now. She went to the University of New York to earn her degree in Business Management. She has been my inspiration as a fashion buyer. Being in this field of fashion allows you to travel across the country and it also allows you to be able to attend the different fashion weeks across the country. I am attending Strayer University and majoring...

...Argumentative Essay Ever since you were little, your parents have been talking about this wonderful thing called college. They told you that you have to go there to get an education before you can get a good job. Many kids have dreamed of going to college, and being able to get the job of their dreams. By putting in hard work and dedication to good grades in high school, you had high hopes that you would be able to get into an Ivy League school. The American dream of being able to go to college to get a degree is sliding away from many people due to rising costs. With increasing tuition prices and job loss, the college dream is slowly and surely slipping away from many students and their families. The first step in the college process is to be able to afford the tuition and other expenses. Many families are unable to do so by themselves and depend on the help of financial aid and loans. Financial aid has recently been harder and harder to come by and loans are now harder to get. In 2000, the average gap between a financial aid offer and a family?s ability to pay for college tuition was $3,000.00. Since then, tuition has risen twenty one percent and shows every sign of continuing to rise with inflation (U.S. News and World Report, 53). If federal aid and federal loans are not easily accessible to families, how are they supposed to send their children to college? The financial aid system is meant to help needy students and their families, but the system is cracking under...

...importance, it is the year I’ll realize my dreams. What dreams? Some of you may wonder… While growing up, I never dreamt to become an astronaut, never dreamt to become an actor, nor become the president. I had one dream, and that is to become a millionaire. Thus 2018 for me is the year I will make my first million. Oscar Wilde once said “There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor.” Today, we will be discussing the one thought that possesses every man, the one thing that every man and woman covet, and that is money. It was once said by Henry Wadsworth, an American poet that “Music is the universal language of mankind”. Today however, music has ceased to be the universal language of mankind, and money arose to become the prominent language that connects all people across the globe. Rupees, Pound, Yen, Lira, Dinar, Euro, and Dollars; languages that every single one among you speaks, languages that all men speak. And to master that language; to become a fluent speaker capable of communicating and influencing others, one ought to become a millionaire. Thus, as a student studying business, and as a young entrepreneur fascinated by the world of money, I would like to demonstrate to you in my speech how to become a millionaire in 5 years. The first step in the journey of becoming a millionaire is what I like to call the mind-set. This step is an internal step constituted of your mentality and it encompasses several aspects...

...The American Dream is something we hear about from our parents when we are growing up. Is the American Dream some unattainable thought of someone’s misplaced perception of reality? Or is the legendary American Dream just a matter of a few steps away from all of us? This dream we know of is not an illusion but a reality, all we must do is work for it. Some might say Gatsby in the “The Great Gatsby” had the American dream as he lived in a huge mansion and got anything he wanted. Well that is except for Daisy, his only love. Others might say that the American dream is to have a healthy and happy family instead of all the material goods in the world. Generation after generation, individuals and families have come to this land we call America in high hopes of creating successful life. They come in high hopes of finding a job to support their spouse and kids. These generations do not stop here but will only continue for the times to come. The American Dream is not something people simply hope to attain one day but are willing to work for it. By whatever means necessary they are willing to work for their dream. We all hope to live the American Dream; we all want the fancy car with the big house and the beautiful family but are we willing to work for it? When that question is upon us we are quick to answer yes but not all of us pursue our dreams. The few who do pursue their dreams and education sometimes do obtain the dream. The others who do not are the individuals...

...My Dream Job I guess my dream job would be a combination of things. I don’t like just sitting at a desk. I need to get up and move around. I guess it would be a helpdesk role along with a systems administrator and a network administrator. I enjoy working with people hence the helpdesk role. I like the freedom to move around of the helpdesk role. Network administration is the most challenging of the roles. System admin is probably the most mundane of all. The helpdesk requires you to go to a person’s desk and interact with them. In the network admin role you work with the different devices. You may have to troubleshoot a connectivity issue, install a device, and configure the device. In the system admin role you mostly create user accounts, set shares and permissions, create e-mail accounts. To be able to land this type of job I will have to update some of my credentials. Probably go to college for at least an associate’s or maybe a bachelor’s degree. A lot of job advertisements I am seeing are requiring those now. I have experience but no degree. I need to renew my CCNA certification. That entails either going to classes or studying online. Going to classes would be the best because it would go toward a degree and give some hands on experience. The same applies to my A+ certification. Some of the other certifications also need refreshing. At my age I wonder if it would be worth the effort of working toward a degree. It would take over two years to complete...

...Getting Employees To Fall In Love With Your Company Just imagine that your employees choose to give their incentive bonus back to the company to help pay down the corporate debt, or show up at 6 a.m. Sunday morning for a nonmandatory quarterly meeting. Even more than that, how awed you are to see off-duty salaried employees wash and clean the company’s facilities. Getting Employees To Fall In Love With Your Company written by Jim Harris is definitely a book that helps you to turn your company into the type of place which will attract and retain all the brightest and hardest-working employees. Hence, the company can truly turn the levels of employee commitment and productivity into its distinct competitive advantage. I definitely agree as Jim Harris tells the reader at the beginning that this book is not a “cookbook”, rather it is a “lighthouse” with five powerful principles pointing direction for the managers to create the “employers of choice” companies of every employee in the market. Through balancing their business plans with an equally powerful strategic people plans, companies can keep the dream career alive in the extreme environment. With just about a hundred pages, Jim Harris has been able to capture the audience’s attention by real workplace examples of companies get their employees entertained and committed to the companies. For instance, the “sick and tired award” carried out by the CEO of North American Tool, it not only lets the employees enjoy the monetary...

...Yobana Andreina Garcia I believe that having a career is fundamental to success in the world these days. We live in a time when if you do not have a degree you probably will not work in the area of your interest, or get very far for that matter. Luckily, some people have found their dream job and have not required a university degree, but this is the exception, not the rule. An example of this is my mother, she has a medical degree from a technical school and she loves her job. She goes to villages that cannot even be accessed by car, and she is so committed to her job and helping others that she has been doing it for over thirty years. She wanted to go to college, but sadly her boss discriminated against her for being a woman and did not...

...Live the joy of change Introduction Taking the decision of studying abroad implies leaving your family, your friends, and adapting yourself to a new culture and to a new city; but in the end you will live the joy of your new life with new friends, more knowledge, and probably you will get the job of your dreams, or whatever your first purpose of changing was. When we think on change sometimes we think that it must be something painful, and it can be, but we need to learn to postpone our rewards. Change means sacrifice some things to get others even better. And as I already said, although the process of change can be painful and frustrating, the reward can be bigger than this pain. Starting the change is just a matter learning where you must start; people can change their lives if they dare leaving their comfort zone, creating a dream and taking action. I. Create a dream Creating a dream is the first step to start changing your life, and this means that you need to set your first goals. Bird (2012) uses the term 3% to mean that you need set a little goal. He recommends setting a goal that you feel comfortable with, and that you are completely sure you can achieve. In other words, you need little dreams to star your change and then the change will get bigger and bigger as you go on, because if you want to succeed in change realism is an important point; for example, if your goal is to become a CEO of a company, but you have no experience, this goal might not be realistic, or...
