...Over seventy five percent of Career Centers across the country use E-Recruiting. It has become a new way to work around the traditional ways of addressing job openings. Most company’s today main goal is to figure out how to make the most money, while spending the least amount of money. And e- recruiting falls right in line with helping them achieve this goal. But what some HR personnel are starting to worry “Is this form of e-recruiting working too well?” Today e- recruiting has become one of the fastest and easiest ways for potential job workers to apply for their jobs. A few key stokes is all it may cost to apply for a job. The country likes the new idea of not having to take time to spend and create paperwork just to get an interview. But with easier applying processes comes more applicants, and this cannot always be a good thing. As stated in the textbook, “Lockheed Martin received 300,000 resumes from which it filled 900 positions.” And although some view this as a good problem, it is still a problem that is causing burdens. Because as the applicant pool grows so is the number of recipients that will potentially be rejected. “Now organizations are compelled to ask themselves how this mass of failed applicants influence their reputation.” Companies need to stay a step in front of the game and be prepared for any obstacles that may come their way with e- recruiting. They need to be cautious with the number of candidates that apply online for a position. Because...

...In businesses today, there is a uniform strategy to operate the business effectively at a lower cost and online recruiting is one way to do business cheaper. Online recruiting allows for an organization to cut recruiting cost while also acquiring the talent needed to help the organization succeed. According to Hauer (2004), while online recruiting saves money, it also saves time on the applicants behave as well as the company’s. The Internet is everywhere and it’s the fastest most affordable way to attract qualified applicants to fill vacant positions. Traditional ways of recruiting such as newspaper posting can be very expensive while limiting the content needed to attract the specific qualified individual the company is seeking. Most online job boards allow employers unlimited space to sell their organization to the right candidates. Newspapers price ads by the amount of space being used so it becomes very expensive to post important details about a particular job. Online recruiting offers convenience of being able to apply for jobs anytime and anywhere. Human resource (HR) professionals aren’t available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to accept resumes from potential applicants. This also allows job seekers who are employed to search for other jobs since Traditionally, HR professionals also had to take countless hours to shuttle through enormous amounts of resumes, whereas job boards allow employers to set up screening questions to help filter through resumes with the most...

...Companies are increasingly utilizing online recruiting in an effort to reduce costs, stay competitive, and reach their target market. “E-recruiting and fairness: the applicant’s point of view” (Thielsch, Traumer & Pytlik, 2012) examines how applicants perceive the procedural fairness of e-recruiting processes. This study has critical human resource implications because fairness perceptions of potential applicants can influence an applicant’s evaluation of the organization and their motivation to apply. This research endeavored to answer three questions and confirm one hypothesis; Q1) What are the general experiences and expectations of applicants with respect to e-recruiting? Q2) How does an applicant’s perceived importance of procedural fairness in e-recruiting compare to their expectations? (researchers hypothesized (H1) that perceived importance would be higher than expectations) and Q3) How do applicants react when different experimental information is given in a fictitious online recruiting situation? The methodology incorporated an online survey involving 1,373 participants. The survey was divided into three parts. Part one gathered demographic information. Part two addressed research question #1 and required participants to answer four questions. Part three was divided into two specific sections. The first section addressed research question #2 and hypothesis #1, and required participants to answer a questionnaire specifically adapted to analyze online recruitment...

...Dustin Davis Mrs. Herr English 102 12 April 2016 College Athletes Should Be Paid Many people in the United States say that college athletes should not get paid because they already receive a scholarship. Did you know that college athletes miss quality class time to play in tournaments and televised games? What happens when that scholarship is revoked, or for the athlete that only receives a partial scholarship or not one at all? The majority of college athletes put more time into playing their sport than an employee does working a full time job. Student athletes are also core members of the University’s marketing team. How are college athletes supposed to pay for tuition and everyday expenses if they are not paid for what they do for the school? Also, a sports injury could prevent a college athlete from ever playing again. College athletics have gained immense popularity over the past few years. The NCAA is a billion-dollar industry and has been for a long time. Due to the increased ratings of college athletics, the NCAA will continue to rise. Therefore, college athletes should be paid. To begin, college athletes miss classes to play in tournaments and televised games, reducing the quality of their education. According to Marc Edelman, Forbes contributor, “The men’s college basketball teams would miss up to a fourth of their classes due to the tournaments they participate in” (“NCAA”). College athletes should receive some type of pay for this because they are risking the...

...Abstract This paper debates whether Division 1 athletes should be paid or not. I explain the situation to the readers that do not have much background knowledge of the topic. I go on to say that Division 1 players should be paid because they do not have much money to buy necessities. The NCAA does not allow players to get jobs due to the workload required for their particular sport. The athletes also cannot sell their items or autographed items for revenue. My next reason athletes should be paid is because they are the core of the collegiate sports. Without the players, there would be no revenue period. My next point is that the scholarships are not enough to compensate or the time the athletes put into their sport. Although the scholarship helps, it doesn’t help the players any further than paying for tuition, rooming, and books. Should Division 1 Athletes Be Paid? Imagine one having a career that takes up a majority of one’s time, requires one to do rigorous tasks, and causes one to travel to many different states. Their role in their career brings in billions of dollars to the company but one doesn’t get paid one cent. Seems like a lop-sided deal, right? Well this is the position for many Division 1 athletes all across the United States today. Today a hot topic in the collegiate world is whether Division 1 college athletes should be paid for what they do and if there are too many responsibilities put on these young adults’ backs. Some believe that the...

...MAT220 119. Explain how to solve an exponential equation when both sides can be written as a power of the same base. When an exponential equation has both sides of the equation as the same base one needs to rewrite the equation in the form of bM=bN. For instance, 24x-3=8. To make this the same base we need to make 8 a base of two by writing it as 2^3. Then we have 24x-3=23. Then we get rid of the base and get 4x-3=3. Finally we solve for x. 4x-3=3 4x=6 x=23 120. Explain how to solve an exponential equation when both sides cannot be written as a power of the same base. Use 3x = 140 in your explanation. To solve this equation one needs to use a natural logarithm or ln. First take the ln of both sides, ln 3x= ln 140 Then using bx= x ln b, move the variable to the front, x ln 3 = ln 140 Solve for x, x= ln3ln140= 1.0986122887/4.9416424226 = 0.22231723680404. 121. Explain the differences between solving log31x - 12 = 4 and log31x - 12 = log3 4. When solving log31x - 12 = 4 one needs to write it in the form of bc=M. To do this we do the following; logbM=c means bc=M. 1) log31x - 12 = 4 2) 34=x-12 3) 81=x-12 4) x=93 In the case of log31x - 12 = log3 4, since the log is the same on both sides of the equation the will be omitted. The new equation would be; 1x-12=4. Then solve as normal. Add 12 to 4 to get 16, leaving 1x, which is just x and you have x=16. 122. In many states, a 17% risk of a car accident...

...Nina Hills MAT 205 /Week 2 Focus on Application 07/11/2014 The concept of this week was to look at function problems that can include exponentials and logarithms with functions. These functions help with situations such as profit analysis, compound interest, continues compound interest or even doubling time for an investment. An example that I have that would go very well with today’s day in age would be simply the economy on its own. Our economy has taken such a huge turn downhill due to big banks making poor choices of investment. With that, many people don’t have savings accounts, 401K’s and such for their own future ahead. These two examples are examples of ways we may save for our retirement, but at this point there is a bare chance of that happening at an earlier on age. Many will have to work longer throughout their lives just to make sure that they are financially set when entering retirement. With the concepts of this week, we can calculate how long it would take to double a certain amount of investment in a certain time period with a fixed interest rate that would play upon a certain interval. A=P(1+r/m)^mt This equation can help determine t (time), for the principal to double. We can put in 2P for A, due to the other known values are r (interest rate) and m=1. Once we solve for t, we know the amount of time it will take to double our investment. With this week’s concept, we can predict at a pretty accurate rate the amount of time it takes to grow...

...This is an essay about nothing in order to qualify for this site it must contain at least 250 words. So On the left-hand side above is the exponential statement "y = bx". On the right-hand side above, "logb(y) = x" is the equivalent logarithmic statement, which is pronounced "log-base-b of y equals x"; The value of the subscripted "b" is "the base of the logarithm", just as b is the base in the exponential expression "bx". And, just as the base b in an exponential is always positive and not equal to 1, so also the base b for a logarithm is always positive and not equal to 1. Whatever is inside the logarithm is called the "argument" of the log. Note that the base in both the exponential equation and the log equation (above) is "b", but that the x and y switch sides when you switch between the two equations.PrintHidden<p><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#000000">Note: The graphic in the box below is animated in the original ("live") web lesson.</font></p> —The Relationship Animated— | | If you can remember this relationship (that whatever had been the argument of the log becomes the "equals" and whatever had been the "equals" becomes the exponent in the exponential, and vice versa), then you shouldn't have too much trouble with logarithms.

...and brought the microscope over to my work area, making sure to carry the microscope by the arm and base. I uncovered and plugged in the microscope. I then went back to the cart and got a slide and slide cover, as well as a small glass bottle and dropper. I filled the small glass bottle with water and took everything back to my work area. I wrote a letter e on a piece of paper with a pen, pulled a strand of hair from my head and pulled a string off of my jacket. Then I turned on the microscope, prepared my slide and proceeded to look at each object under the microscope. Data: If the slide was too close or too far from the lens than you will not be able to see the specimen. The larger the magnification on the microscope the more detail that can be seen. The course and fine adjustment knobs move the slide up and down to help focus the specimen on the slide. The mechanical stage controls move the slide left and right, and forward and backwards. Findings: While observing the hair under the microscope I noticed that it is not smooth. The hair actually looks like it is made up of tiny scales. While observing the paper with the letter e written on it, I noticed that, just like the hair, the paper does not look smooth. The paper actually looks like a bunch of threads woven together like a birds nest. The ink on the paper only seemed to stick to the top layer or two of the paper material. I also observed that the letter appeared upside down and...

...A Generalized Logarithm for Exponential-Linear Equations Dan Kalman Dan Kalman (kalman@email.cas.american.edu) joined the mathematics faculty at American University in 1993, following an eight year stint in the aerospace industry and earlier teaching positions in Wisconsin and South Dakota. He has won three MAA writing awards, is an Associate Editor of Mathematics Magazine, and served a term as Associate Executive Director of the MAA. His interests include matrix algebra, curriculum development, and interactive computer environments for exploring mathematics, especially using Mathwright software. How do you solve the equation 1.6x = 5054.4 − 122.35x? (1) We will refer to equations of this type, with an exponential expression on one side and a linear one on the other, as exponential-linear equations. Numerical approaches such as Newton’s method or bisection quickly lead to accurate approximate solutions of exponential-linear equations. But in terms of the elementary functions of calculus and college algebra, there is no analytic solution. One approach to remedying this situation is to introduce a special function designed to solve exponential-linear equations. Quadratic equations, by way of analogy, are √ solvable in terms of the special function x, which in turn is simply the inverse of a very special and simple quadratic function. Similarly, exponential equations are solvable in terms of the natural logarithm log, and that too is the inverse of...
