...For a moment, consider who the audience is for your MBA application. You will be spending countless hours writing a magnum opus that may be read by only one individual—or a select few at most. These people have many applications that they need to go through every day, and even the most meticulous individuals may at times miss some parts of your essays. That’s why you need to make things as clear and easy to read as possible for the admissions committee team by making sure that they can’t miss who you are and what you can bring to an incoming MBA class. The best business school applications feature four or five aspects of the candidate’s character and experiences that anyone reading the essays will identify. These traits blend to create “Brand You.” We all understand the power and influence that brands have. Businesses spend a lot of money to make sure you know how they bring value and what they stand for. While there are many more subtle parts to their full corporate identities and many tones to their product/service offerings, companies need to ensure that purchasers have a complete understanding of a limited set of characteristics. As an example, this is list of traits for a few reputable companies: 1. Low prices every day of the week, large selection, one-stop store 2. Fun place to be, socially responsible, respect for employees 3. Creative design, simple, cool 4. Cheeky, young, influencing lifestyles 5. Fun, family, fantasy Even from only these...

...A business (also known as enterprise or firm) is an organization involved in the trade of goods, services, or both to consumers.[1] Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and administered to earn profit to increase the wealth of their owners. Businesses may also be not-for-profit or state-owned. A business owned by multiple individuals may be referred to as a company, although that term also has a more precise meaning. The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage to mean a particular organization; the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness; and the broadest meaning, which encompasses all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings. Classifications Agriculture and mining businesses are concerned with the production of raw material, such as plants or minerals. Financial businesses include banks and other companies that generate profit through investment and management of capital. Information businesses generate profits primarily from the resale of intellectual property and include movie studios...

...Developing Your Empowering People It’s very true that in many companies or organizations managers delegate responsibilities to other team members due to his or her own increasing responsibilities to be shouldered. A correct or we can say right person has to be identified and clearly mention their job requirements allowing them to participate and also inform other members about the change. In the example “practicing the skill” Anne has delegated a project to putting together new departmental procedures manual by the end of the month to Mr. Ricky Lee. Since Ricky is already working on another project he asks Anne if this project could be delegated to Bill Harmon. Bill Harmon is working in this company for the past 3 years. Hence Anne approves Bill Harmon being reassigned as far as Bill knows the parameters of the project and what needs to be expected for the completion of this project. Now Ricky is preparing for his meeting with Bill regarding the assignment to be reassigned. It is very important to understand the capability of completing the project. Anne knew that Ricky was capable of completing the project given to him as Ricky believed that Bill was capable. Here Ricky did not analyze what Bill might be working on as Anne did not realize what Ricky might be working on. If there could be any alternate possibility of Ricky and Bill teaming up and complete the project of putting the procedures manual together, could cut down time by the work being divided among the two. I think...

...Vanessa Zsorey Dr. McCort College Comp 11 December 2015 Sonic Highways A band lasting as long as twenty years in the music industry with their original sound not suffering is a rarity. The Foo Fighters, led by the legendary Dave Grohl, are magnificent rockers who throughout two decades, continue to stay relevant in many ways. Throughout these twenty years they have released nine albums, each of which contained some of the biggest alternative rock hits of all time. Though they may not be riding the radio waves constantly or may only appeal to a shrinking audience, their craft has never once suffered. Their newest album, Sonic Highways, is pure proof that the Foo Fighters continuously try to push themselves out of their comfort zones in order to remain interesting to their fans. Sonic Highways was the most recent project the Foo Fighters have put out and the most creative of the past eight albums. The process to create this album was far more in depth and unique compared to the traditional methods. Typically, when a band decides they want to record, they find the closest studio that is in their price range and is the best quality necessary to fit the project. Mixing the recordings has gotten incredibly easy in recent times, where all that is really necessary is the ProTools program. With Protools, any errors can easily be cleaned and corrected, then moved on to the master CD and sent off to be pressed. A decade ago, recording and mixing were not nearly as simple or cheap...

...own in the future. I would like to ask the young people reading this: Do you ever wonder what you will do to earn a living, what your career will consist of? Do you ever wonder how successful you are going to be, or what things you will be able to accomplish? Do you ever wonder if you will be able to enjoy the “good life” and afford the nicer than average things? Do you wonder if you will wind up having a job that you enjoy, or one that you must do out of necessity? Will you be able to support yourself and a family and own a nice home and automobile—all of those things we think of as the “American Dream”? Probably most young people have these thoughts and questions from time to time. You may not worry about such things at this time in your life, but you do think about them. We are all aware of the economic downturn in the United States, as our nation faces many problems at this time. Unemployment problems are continually in the news with many major corporations laying off employees as part of necessary cutbacks. Some of these may already be affecting your family.

...Joe Polce English 015 Mrs. Wickman How To Roll Your Own Cigarette Is anyone in your life a cigarette smoker? Do you often notice that they are always complaining about their ever-rising price? According to the U.S Census Bureau, out of the 6.7 billion people in the world, 2 billion are smokers of cigarettes or some other form of tobacco. Almost 75% of these 2 billion spend between $1000 - $1500 yearly on their favorite packs and cartons that they just cannot resist. We know its a habit, right? Its also an expensive habit. I am going to show you a quick and easy way to not only cut the cost of cigarettes in half, but also save you hundred of dollars. A select few smokers of the modern world have been fortunate enough to find the solution to the climbing prices of cigarettes. This solution is actually very simple. Why don’t we, instead of spending the $6 plus on an already produced pack of Marlboro Lights, make and produce our own pack of very similar cigarettes? Herein lies the solution; roll your own cigarettes. Most people shy away from such an idea claiming that they would never know where to start, or have no idea where they would buy the equipment, but on contrary the first steps to this new lifestyle are very easy, and the tools needed are readily available. The benefits of rolling your own cigarettes are numerous. First off, its inexpensive.

Furthermore, Stolpestad seems to be genuine depressed as he says to himself “this is your life, Stolpestad” which shows that Stolpestad’s not where he wants to be in life as he has to end the sentence white “Stolpestad” as if he was not listening to himself. “As if you have seen or imagined or been through all of this before, or will be through it all again” The fact that Stolpestad feels like he has experienced things that he haven’t even tried yet, shows how much he has given up on life. Stolpestad’s sad view on life probably is a mix of his life going in circles, and the fact that he is constantly experiencing unpleasant things that just repeats and repeats itself throughout his life: “Your whole life spent along the same sad streets (..) as you pull around the house, as if you’ve seen or imagined or been through all of this before, or will be through it all again, over and over”. Moreover, instead of going home to his family after his attempt to kill the dog, he ends up on a bar, telling about the episode, which brings out laughter: “this little dog they heard about, ha...

...music learned how to play several instruments by the inspiration of others. Mayer loved music, especially blues as can be heard from all his songs in which they all share a melancholic tune. As a young man in high school one of his first gigs was at a local blues bar with a band he had been currently been a part of. Although he only played guitar at the time Mayer was still songwriting. He learned how to write after being hospitalized at the age of 17 with a mental issue even though his illness was destroying his body his creativity kept flowing allowing him to find his newfound passion, songwriting. All these action leading to his first debut of his album in 2001 “Room for Squares” in which he would receive Grammy nominations for the song “Your body is a wonderland” and the public eye would be drawn towards Mayer. After this Mayer would release many albums and singles that would lead to the fame he has today. In my opinion, John Mayer’s music is one of a kind and truly beautiful all holding a deep message leaving for the listener to interpret in however which way they feel. Furthermore, out of all of Mayer’s accomplishments “Waiting on the world to change” from the album “Continuum” is one of his best works. This song has a slow tempo like most of his songs on the “Continuum” album. Also, in this song the beats are...
