...Expository Essay October-2-2011 Expository Essay Joe Chernov, public relations executive whose arms are inked from wrists to biceps with Asian-themed tattoos, applied for a position at a conservative company, where he was given a chance for an interview. Upon this interview he decided to wear a long cuffed shirt which he usually would not wear as it ended up showing part of his tattoo on his wrist. He didn’t get the job even though he was more than qualified for the position he had applied for, it could be questioned if the tattoos had anything to do with this decision made by the interviewing company (Pyrillis, 2010). Although people have tattoos and body piercings in a workplace their performance while working should matter not their appearance. With that in mind it can be viewed that tattoos and body piercings in a workplace or during a hiring process can make speculations of unfair judgment against potential employees, since it can be argued that the interviewer bases their opinion of the candidate with the tattoos or piercings work off of their appearance versus their work history, performance, and work ethics. Many persons feel as though it is necessary to cover up any tattoos or piercings while in their workplace. One example would be a survey of two thousand twenty people was taken where sixty eight percent of men and seventy two percent of women felt it necessary to cover up their tattoos and/or piercings in the workplace (Pyrillis, 2010)...

Not too long ago all men wore suits and ties to work and women did not hold prominent positions in the workplace. All this has changed in the recent years. More companies are now adopting a casual work environment with less dress code restrictions and a better work/life balance. But there are still companies out there who still hold on to the traditional values of business and it’s protocols. In the next paragraphs I hope to outline the protocols and culture of Google and how it came to be, as well as compare and contrast it a more traditional company, Goldman Sach. I will also outline Google’s failed experience in China how the Google culture influenced that. Google’s Founders: Montessori Reason for It’s Culture “You can’t understand Google unless you know Larry Page and Sergey Brin were Montessori kids,” Levey (2011). Montessori schools are schools based on the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori, an Italian physician who believed children should be allowed the freedom to pursue whatever interest them. Knowing this you can really understand the culture of Google why their business protocols are unique to traditional businesses. Like so many other technology start-ups Google was founded in the mid-90’s by a pair of college buddies, Page...

...“Assessment is the foundation of the social work process with service users” (walker and Beckett, 2003:6). Social workers are expected to carry out an initial assessment of situations they encounter before taking action.

...responsibilities would include interviewing patients or representatives to obtain and record name, address, age, religion, persons to notify in case of emergency, attending physician, and individual or insurance company responsible for payment of bill. For the first month or so of the internship, I felt that it was a much directed process. Daily I would arrive at The Trust Hospital and my tasks for the day would be emailed to me along with a detailed explanation of how to complete them. As I became more comfortable and aware of what tasks needed to be completed by the intern at TTH, the internship became much more self-start. My ultimate goal was to develop an understanding of how to complete these responsibilities and learn as much about Human Resource practices in the process. Quality of Instruction The quality of instruction that I received during this internship is a priceless asset in my learning as a human resource management student. Since The Trust Hospital is a small company, there is not a Human Resource Management Department. These tasks are carried out by different personnel throughout the organization. Staffing needs are taken care of by upper management (Administrator), when a job becomes available the secretaries are told to put out advertising searching for personnel, and the head of the hiring department is responsible for doing initial interviews. The General Manager, Darius Kofi Osei makes all final decisions on the hiring process. The training needs of employees...
