It is always a good idea to have a plan in place of the places that employment is desired. Then research those companies and determine what the best way to present a resume is. It is always a good idea to research the companies to begin with in order to come to a good determination as to whether or not this company is one that is good to work for. There are four businesses that I researched and have submitted my resume and applications. I will discuss which companies I chose, why I chose them and the steps that I took in order to present myself to their HR Departments. I have been doing this for the past 3 years, so I have some good references and a little bit knowledge as to how some of these companies perform their hiring process. The first company that I researched and chose to apply with is Ford Motor Company. Ford Motor Company is an organization that I chose because the pay and benefits are great and if you can get through the probation period, it can be a very good job. I looked them up online and found that Ford Motor Company is always hiring however you have to know exactly what positions are open that fit your qualifications in the area in which you want to work. The online application is very long and tiresome and it is often times overlooked. From my experiences, it is better if you actually...

...COMPANIES TO ADMIRE: success story of L.N.Mittal “Raise yourself so high that one day god himself asks you “what else do you want?” “ Many of you reading this would want to start-up a venture of your own and some of you already have established enterprises. I want to ask you a question “is only the idea and the execution enough?” I believe it isn’t, because becoming an entrepreneur isn’t a one day task. It takes years of toil, in fact I believe it isn’t your usual 9-5 job and so each day is a different journey. What really binds all of us, established and aspiring entrepreneurs are “idols”. And this brings me to one of those businessmen who have been so many people’s idol MR.LAXMI NIWAS MITTAL, from his firm to his personality, to his success story, everything about him is inspiring.

...How Lakshmi Mittal Created Arcelor Mittal Steel and became a Billionaire The story of Lakshmi Mittal is such an inspiring story. Though he didn’t make our list of school drop out billionaires; he’s been nicknamed “Carnegie of Calcutta” after the 19th-century American drop out railroad tycoon; Andrew Carnegie. His story is that of a man, who rose from nothingness to join the coveted Forbes list of world’s richest top ten billionaires. He achieved this feat by creating ArcelorMittal; the biggest steel company in the world, worth over £100bn. Let me also bring to your notice that this Indian-born steel tycoon is the wealthiest man in Britain, with an estimated fortune of £30bn. He is also well connected to rich and powerful men such as Nicolas Sarkozy, Bernie Ecclestone, Tony Blair and Bill Clinton. Lakshmi Mittal was born in 1950 in a small town in India called Sadulpur, in Rajasthan. Being the eldest of five children, his parents decided to name him Lakshmi after the Hindu goddess of wealth. At the age of six, his family moved to Calcutta, where his father gained employment in a small British steel company. This gave the family the brevity to set up their own business, but it turned out to be quite challenging and tough. While his father worked night and day to build their new business, Lakshmi Mittal, who happens to be a shy and introverted teenager graduated from a Jesuit college, St Xavier’s. Mittal surprised everyone, including his parents by receiving excellent grades...

...Big Business Andrew Carnegie, born in Scotland in 1835, settled in Pennsylvania with his family at the age of 13. He started off working in a cotton factory, later moving to a telegraph company. Here he met Thomas Scott who hired him as a secretary and telegrapher. Scott was a superintendent of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Pittsburgh division. When Scott moved up to become general superintendent for the railroad, Carnegie, at the age of 24, took over his position within the Pittsburgh division. Carnegie worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad for 12 years, leaving in 1865 (Biography.com, 2010). His first steps toward big business were his investments in a sleeping car company and oil. Both investments paid off handsomely (n.d.). Then, in 1864, he turned towards the iron business. He had contracts with the railroad to build new bridges out of iron replacing the existing wooden ones. In 1872, Carnegie learned the Bessemer process which converted iron into steel. Steel was more flexible than iron and lasted longer (PBS, 1999). In 1875 he opened the biggest steel mill in the world. His final step toward being one of the wealthiest men in the nation was expansion. He bought competitor mills and built new ones. By doing this he had control over the industry and could ensure profits at all stages (Davidson, Gienapp, Heyrman, Lytle, Stoff 2006). In 1901, Carnegie sold his business to J.P. Morgan for $480 million (PBS, 1999). The reason Carnegie did so well is because he knew business...

...Made Men. Rugged, independent, and driven: they became pioneers of their time. They lead the way in progress and innovation during the Gilded age. One of history's best know examples of a Self Made Man is Andrew Carnegie, the Steel king . Born in Scotland to hand loom weavers, his family immigrated to America when the mechanization of the cotton industry put them out of work. They settled down in Allegheny, PA where Carnegie worked as an errand boy in a textile mill to support his financially struggling family. He soon gained a job in a telegraph office where he proved himself dedicated when he memorized addresses and names. When his father died he was left the sole supporter of his family at age 20. With little education, Carnegie taught himself at the library and night school. While in the telegraph industry, he proposed new ideas that increased profit in Railways and communication. He invested in sleeping cars, earning $5000 revenue. He founded two successful companies including Keystone Bridge Co., building iron bridges,and Keystone Telegraph Co. which he merged with the Atlantic Telegraph Co. He then traveled between the US and Europe selling Bridge Bonds. Later he took an interest in the steel industry. He invested in the Bessemer method of steel manufacturing and...

...Carnegie and the Age of Steel, I learned a lot about what steel manufacturing had to do with the Gilded Age time period in America. The film first opened by talking about how in the late 1800’s Andrew Carnegie was now the richest man in the United States. But how did he get to be that way? Well, that is what the film goes into next. New Englanders were faced with a crisis in these times, iron was too expensive, but iron was the thing that fueled the New Englanders industry. So the colony started to manufacture their own iron to try and cut costs. Many iron mills were created in the New England area, and some Americans, but many indentured servants from Europe worked in the iron mills. With America becoming a hub for producing iron, the British wanted to restrict the growth of the iron mills in the United States but ultimately failed, because by independence day, the United States now produced 1/4 of the worlds iron. Many cities emerged with the creation of the many iron mills in America, one being Pittsburg, which became iron’s capital. When Andrew Carnegie was a young boy, he was poor and worked as a telegrapher, until noticed and admired by Tom Scott, a man who was very knowledgable in the railroad and iron industry. Soon after Tom Scott discovered Carnegie, Carnegie became his assistant, and became very interested in iron and the use of it to build America’s many new railroads. However, while iron was a great industry for Carnegie, with the invention of steel in 1856, Carnegie...

He was a poor Scottish man turned philanthropist who did not believe in dying a rich man and had made many donations to help expand the Public Library of New York.
