...un-aided. The use of an analysis helps to identify the competencies and pertinent skills required to meet the needs of a job position, and the ultimate goals of the organization or department within the organization. Job analysis aids in skill set determination, selection practices, provides appropriate classification or reclassification of positions, and sets standards for performance appraisals. In this paper I will describe the interview process using a job analysis. My job analysis is very close to the job descriptions posted on various websites that host open jobs for the hair industry. The duties that I perform as a salon owner are similar to those for jobs in my field. For example, a duty that is listed to perform the job that I do is the ability to provide exceptional customer service. If I were interviewing a candidate for the job as a stylist I would ask for examples of what the applicant thinks exceptional customer service is. I researched three hair salons; Super Cuts, Hair Cuttery, and Great Clips. Duty Details The ability to provide exceptional customer service is paramount in this particular industry. After researching similar positions in the hair industry, I found that the duties are similar. Most of the duties for hairstylists are to deliver exceptional customer service while providing the full range of hair care services. The stylist are expected to control expenses, complete required administrative task, market themselves, cultivate their...

...what feminism preaches, or does it? Feminism is a tricky matter to discuss because if you do not know how this movement started, you would look at modern day feminism and instantly be put off by what you see. Webster defines feminism as: 1.: the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities, 2.: organized activity in support of women's rights and interests. The original purpose or goal of feminism was to present women with the same opportunities and rights that men had and as hard as it is to believe, it still is. Therefore, if this is truly still the case, then feminism is still relevant even in modern day societies. On the one hand, feminism is still widely recognized as a movement with true intentions to better the world we live in, making it a fair place for both men and women. Feminism covers almost all inequalities between men and women, including the day to day matters that have been overlooked for so long that they occur unnoticed. The list of a few of these simple matters would include body hair and sexuality. People might say that body hair is just personal preference when in reality...

...My mother, with a sorrowful look in her eyes, began to explain the economic poverty she had suffered in Indonesia, the place where she was born. In Indonesia, the education system was not public and required tuition to even attend school. My mother was only able to receive a middle school education.

She then explained to me the reason we moved to America was because she saw my potential, and knew that Indonesia would not be the best place to nurture my...

...For my project I job shadowed a cosmetologist. I went to my mentors house where her business is located and I observed her work. I asked questions and learned at every opportunity I was given. April would explain what she was doing and the reasons behind it. My project was very successful. I feel that I was able to achieve all of my goals. We have talked about the costs of the equipment needed and the pros and cons of having your own salon vs working for someone else, and how to make the client feel comfortable. This project is a huge help to me in my future because this is what I want to do with my life. Becoming a cosmetologist is my dream job. This project was an excellent experience for me because it brought into perspective everything that I am going to have to do to have this career. This project helped me step out of my comfort zone because I am not very comfortable talking to people that I don’t know, but April helped me by including me in the conversations that she was having with her clients....

...My personal educational goal is to obtain my esthetics license before I graduate high school. Then, I will strive to advance my ambitions in the beauty industry at New Beginnings College of Cosmetology of Albertville, Alabama . In addition to receiving my full cosmetology licence, I aim to own a salon and possibly open a privately owned cosmetology college. Cosmetology has been my ambition for as long as I can possibly remember. I have always loved makeup, hair, and nails. By the time I could walk, I was applying any makeup I could find. If I got my hands on it, I usually smeared it all over my face ;nevertheless, I still felt beautiful the entire time. When I was a little older, I spent most of my free time attempting to style the three Barbie mannequins I had received over numerous holidays. My love of makeup and hair was a stage that I never grew out of. I started out at EPCOT taking cosmetology classes my sophomore year in Hollywood, Alabama, then I had to move about sixty miles to Sand Rock, Alabama. Now, I am still pursuing my dream as a third year Cosmetology student at Cherokee County Career and Technical Center. By the time I graduate, I should have over one thousand hours of classes in the Cosmetology field....

...Heather Hogue CRMJ348-001 12/8/2015 Response Paper #3 In this paper, I will argue that police women’s image are still being effected based on their gender characteristics, their career in policing, and their role in society. The article I will use as a reference is called, “POLICE women or police WOMEN?” by Cara E. Rabe-Hemp. She explains how women in policing are depicted and the emphasis of conforming to police subculture. Gender Characteristics Women are normally depicted into a certain stereotype based on how they look. For example, if a women has short hair or doesn’t wear make-up, she’s “butch” or too masculine. On the other hand if a women wears a lot of make-up or has long hair, she’s a “slut”. Those stereotypes are the same when...

...These individuals cut hair, shave and polish shoes to earn a living. One interesting research fact I found was in the past, barbers were also surgeons and dentists. Becoming a barber has both personal and professional benefits, if you are considering this career. One of the main benefits of being a barber is the lack of demands of a busy workplace. Barbers in a shop work together as a team and help each other by taking customers to the barber chair and completing their customer’s request. The ability to work as a team can play a major role in the success of the business as a whole, but working alone can be just as a big deal. When one works alone, the customers take into account the amount of time that it will take for one to perform their job, the constancy of that individuals works, and that prices may be more expensive than normal. Secondly, while some customers only want a...

...heightened awareness of the expectations of women and how each woman has to fit a certain role as a little girl, an uneducated and unemployed teenager, and finally as a wife and mother who is happy to clean the house and cook things all day. After World War II, a lot of women's organizations began to appear with the goal of bringing the issues of equal rights into the limelight. The Feminine Mystique also seems to come from her determination to locate the deeper causes of the frustration that she and women like her feel. There are countless stereotypes mentioned in the book. The stereotypes even come down to the color of a woman's hair. Many women wish that they could be blonde because that was the ideal hair color. In The Feminine Mystique, Friedan writes that "across America, three out of every ten women dyed their hair blonde " (182). This serves as an example of how there is/was such a push for women to fit a certain mold which is portrayed as the role of women. Blacks were naturally excluded from the notion of ideal women and they suffered additional discrimination which was even greater than that which the white women suffered from. In addition to hair color, women often went to great lengths to achieve a thin figure. The look that Potter 2 women were striving for was the look of the thin model. Many women wore tight, uncomfortable clothing in order to create the illusion of being thinner and some even took pills that were supposed to make them lose weight...

...Middle Adulthood Transitions Interview 1 For my first interview I decided to interview myself. I am 35 years old with dark curly hair, hazel green eyes and fair skin. My face is round and symmetrical. I am confident in my own skin and I have an outgoing social personality. I enjoy adventures but get antsy easily. I know how to work a room and engage an audience. I have been in banking for 18 years and recently took on a manger position. In reference to the 5 factor model (Craig and Dunn 2013, p 437) I am still a little emotionally unstable. I am moody at times with a bit of sensitivity, yet I can be relaxed in certain situations and feel emotionally stable. I am very much an extravert who likes to talk and socialize. I have always been open to new things with a wild and creative imagination. I think of myself as warm, friendly, king and sympathetic; I have always been able to sense the emotions of those around me. I am also very dependable, someone who can be counted on in times of need. In regards to Erikson’s stages of development (Craig and Dunn 2013, p 417) I feel I have so much more to contribute to the world. I feel I have spent enough time in self-absorption and need to have more generativity. When I hit my 30’s it really hit me how much more I could do to add value in this world. I started to question my career goals and life aspirations, looking back at what I’ve done and thinking about all the things I could do in the future. Looking at the questions...

...Nature Nurture D 1 http://s2.hubimg.com/u/3627189_f520.jpg(1 August 2011) Some scientists like George Howe Colt think that people behave as they do according to genetic predisposition this is known as the nature theory of human behaviour. Other scientists believe that people think and behave in certain ways because they are taught to do so, this is known as the nurture theory of human behaviour. For Nelson Mandela in his childhood stage he was able to build a house for himself, looking after cattle, playing different types of games. This allowed him to exercise helping him physically in his childhood stage, so I think you are not born strong but you train yourself to be strong which is nurture. From the earliest moments of life, the interaction of heredity and the environment works to shape who children are and who they will become. While the genetic instructions says that a child inherits from his parents which may set out a road map for development, the environment can impact how these directions are expressed, shaped or event silenced. The complex interaction of nature and nurture does not just occur at certain moments or at certain periods of time it is persistent and lifelong. Clearly, social and emotional development can begin as early as birth, but these developments tend to be primordial and limited until the child is no longer a toddler. This is the period when children begin to develop the abilities to interact with others. These interactions can range...

...Soc 1 Sociological analysis In the movie film The Hunger Games, the nation of Panem is a society very dissimilar to our own. This nation once began with 13 districts, until the thirteenth district chose to take action against the oppressors. They were quickly put down, the remaining 12 districts were punished and were forced to fund two participants which were known as tributes , a boy and a girl of young age to the Capitol each year to compete in the Hunger Games which is a brutal fight to the death. The winner of the huger games is then rewarded with a number of rewards, as well as their home district receives an extra amount of food for one year. The government of Panem administrates these annual “games” as a reminder of what power they hold over those who live in the districts who live inpovrished . This film can be analyzed in a sociological way , for there are many examples of social stratification, power, and socialization. Starting with social stratification, one of the most identifiable examples in the film is the seperation of districts. Each district has something to contribute, a specific area of production. For example, District 1 is in chanrge of the production of luxury items (such as jewelry and fashion for the Capitol), District 4 is in charge of fishing, District 11 is in charge of agriculture production , and District 12 is coal. This can be seen as an example of how labor is divided among districts. Each district has something specific...

This when the thought is symbolic and the language and imagination is most important. Emotions are changed by the different stimuli. There are...
