...objectives that I would like to achieve as part of networking to help me with my short or long-term career goals are the following: Firstly, I am most interested in finding out what skills I need to get a particular job. Though skills are included in a job descriptions, but I would talk about how my past experiences and skills could relate to an entry level position in the networking contact’s company. This conversation may lead me to realize that I am a great candidate for the job, or that I need to gain more skills and experience for that particular job. I would discuss with him how I can get those necessary skills related to the job or industry. Secondly, I will find out the strengths and type of personality that an employer is looking for. I will specifically ask about the mental and physical strength necessary for the job. While I may have the strengths that a position or company requires, I need to ensure that I fit in the company. Different personalities often have difficulties getting along, so this is a big factor. While I consider myself a team member and friendly person, I still need to figure out the culture of the company. Then, I would like to know the prospects for the industry and the areas that are expanding and recruiting. This is important for both my short and long term career goals. I would seek information about who is hiring, for which sectors, and for what type of positions; such that I can gather the necessary skills and experiences. Next, I would ask what...

...PROGRAM Organizational BehaviorPersonal Reflection About Job SatisfactionSubmitted by ; Mr. Lynn Pyi(Austria) Submitted to ; Dr. Ioan Voicu | Student ID ; 5819019 | | Date; 21, September, 2015 | Personal Reflection of Job Satisfaction Job satisfaction is a pleasurable or positive feeling about a job and it is one of most important job attitudes. Some believe it is simply how content an individual is with his or her job, in other words, whether or not they like the job or individual aspects of facets of jobs, such as nature of work or supervision. Others believe it is not so simplistic as this definition suggests and instead that multidimensional psychological responses to one's job are involved. Job satisfaction of employees improves the organization or company’s advantages. A person with a high level of job satisfaction holds positive feelings about his or her job, whereas a person with a low level holds negative feelings. Job satisfaction scales vary in the extent to which they assess the affective feelings about the job or the cognitive assessment of the job. Affective job satisfaction is a subjective construct representing an emotional feeling individuals have about their job. Job satisfaction can also be seen within the broader context of the range of issues which affect an individual's experience of work, or their quality of working life. Job satisfaction can be understood in terms of its relationships...

Trouser or skirt suits are acceptable, with a plain shirt and polished shoes. You need to look the part! • Always arrive at least 10minutes early to an interview. You want to show that you are punctual and reliable. • Be confident and smile and when you shake the hand of your interviewer, make sure it is a firm handshake – not bone crushing, just firm and assertive. • Keep eye contact throughout the interview, show your feelings through facial expressions. • Always try to use relevant examples for questions asked.

...What are your top 3 motivators? In their jobs or in their everyday life style, people use motivators to help them get through the work they have to do. Everyone has different ways to motivate themselves; some people like to work on challenging projects, and others like to be able to have friendly interactions with their coworkers or even have the power to be in charge of the project that they’re working on. If an employer is able to have motivated employees, it help them run their business successfully. For my first motivator, I like to be rewarded for a job well done. If I know that after I’m done doing a job or simply a school project, it will give me a reason to work harder for it. It will motivate me to do a good job on it and my employer happy. If I were to go in for a shift one day and know that I won’t be getting paid I would consider that like volunteer work that I didn’t volunteer for. I’m not saying that doing volunteer work is a bad thing but for me being able to have something to look forward to will make me work harder at my job or assignment. As a second motivator would be being able to work with friends or people that I like. If I were to be stuck working with people I didn’t enjoy being with I would have almost zero motivation to work. If I have to work with people I don’t like I probably won’t be able to get along with them and that would just cause conflict in our group. Some people are able to work like that because they take their part of the work and go...

...Introduction The department I chose to study is the customer care department of a wireless carrier located in Michigan. This is a call center environment and the company employs 250+ representatives at this particular location. In the customer care department there are representatives, supervisors, four associate directors and one head director of the overall department. Each supervisor has 12-15 representatives that they must oversee. The duties of each representative consist of retaining customer business by renewing contracts, present data solutions, offer accessories, demonstrate equipment functions and network capability and answer customer billing questions. The supervisors’ job is to monitor daily team results to ensure performance, retention and objective compliance, complete monthly reporting, provide effective feedback, supervise, educate and motivate their team to exceed all performance measures. I have worked for this same wireless carrier for 4 years and I currently work in their financial service department but I have a few close friends who work in the customer care department who don’t be satisfied with their jobs. I found this quite interesting because we all worked for the same company but there seemed to be a huge difference in job satisfaction from department to department. In order to find out what this difference is from our department to theirs I did an hour of side by sides with some of the customer care representatives and gave my friends from the...

...describe a person like me. These characteristics are subject to personal interpretation. It is with these three characteristics that I will present my argument for wanting to pursue and obtain a Master of Business Administration, MBA degree. These reasons are related to issues such as job scarcity, wage earnings, and personal goals. It is because of job scarcity that I would like to establish myself in a good company. Once established, I can work towards increasing my wage earnings and at the same time work towards my personal goals. An individualistic mind is one that seeks to separate itself from the rest of the pack. Because obtaining a bachelor’s degree is fast becoming a common practice, pursuing a master’s degree only makes sense to a person seeking to be more distinguishable in a sea of familiarity. Degree requiring jobs are also becoming difficult to obtain. This difficulty can be attributed to the growing number of BA degree holders seeking jobs. According to NACE’s Job Outlook 2010 Spring Update, report shows employers plan to hire 5.3 percent more new college graduates in 2009-10 than they did in 2008-09 ("Job outlook: hiring," 2010). More and more college graduates are sought out for jobs. If having a master’s degree gives a person the extra edge, why not go for the degree that will separate you from the rest. Entrepreneurial opportunities make up the majority general descriptions of what the Jungian Personality Assessment reveals as possible job choices. To have...

...Hixenbaugh 1 Kyle Hixenbaugh English 1510 Professor Drew April 25,2013 Personal Essay The piece that I will compare my life to is “Serving in Florida.” This piece is about a woman named Barbara Ehrenreich, who moves to Florida to work unglamorous jobs as a type of “experiment.” Barbra meets very many people and starts to understand the struggles within working low-waged jobs .Although Barbara wasn’t forced to work these jobs, she funds the readers with a great backround of the jobs that she works. In this piece, I will compare my experiences within working low-waged jobs and share my relationships that I have made within these jobs. Working low-waged jobs isn’t a career someone should ever aim for in life. Low-waged jobs can be great for a short term or summer job, but I don’t recommend this as a career. I have worked at three low-waged jobs throughout my lifetime. The most unglamorous, was working in the fast food industry. While working at Wendy’s, I witnessed theft, drug use, and many other different types of crimes. As a minor working under these conditions, I learned that I wanted to make something of myself, and didn’t want to be a worker under these conditions anymore. Unlike Barbara, I was actually working these jobs to maintain my bills. Working these jobs wasn’t an “experiment” for me, it was a short term job to raise money before I went off to college. Working at Wendy’s really broadened my perspective about making myself successful. After walking in on...

...I have always been told, to find a job that I love. I plan to enter a career in the telecommunication, such as a Fiber Optic Technician. I enjoy learning and doing new things and the fiber optic business is a constant learning experience. I also liked this career because it guarantees a good amount of money, and who wouldn't like to make lots of money? In this speech, I will outline the job description, preparation and advantage/advantages of a career as a fiber optic technician. First before we get started what is “fiber optics”? Well fiber optics is the science of light/data moving through small glass or plastic fibers. The field began in the 1970s and by the 1980s fiber was replacing copper as a way of transferring information. They...

...605 I Believe In my “this I believe essay”, I stated that I believe that everyone deserves a chance. A few have a feel other beliefs that are not mentioned. They are that respect shouldn’t be earned to give it, and no one is too young to be responsible. This has kind of developed recently, well one of them. I have always believed that everyone should respect each other regardless, however responsibility should come at any age. However my biggest belief is that everyone deserves a chance. In my future profession, I plan on either becoming a store manage/director for a Hy-Vee store, or to become an athletic director for some sort of institution. Whether it is a college or some school, as long as I stay in the midwest I’ll be content. For the most part, to acquire jobs like these ill have to be kind hearted, and organized with the job. On top of those, ill have to learn to work with people, employees or customers, be able to give up hours outside my job, and know that I can’t quit on a certain task until the job is completed. There are plenty of reasons why I chose this. I have worked at Hy-vee since I was fourteen years old. Since then, I have been given plenty of chances to learn new things, and have acquired a number of skills to make me a better person. The reason why I have chosen this as my future occupation is probably because some of the people you get to meet on a daily basis. I am a very social person, and I like being nice whenever I can. Every moment that I am at...

...about your dream job. Don't mention a specific job. Say something generic like, "I want a job where I love the work and the people I work with." Why did you leave your last job? Never refer to a major problem with management or say undesirable things about your supervisors, co-workers or the organization. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, or a chance to do something better. What is your weakness? Always try to give a positive answer. For example, "It takes me a long time to get ready in the morning, so I set my alarm two hours ahead of my time in for work." What are your strengths? Sell yourself. Say how you can be a desirable employee for the company. What do you know about the type of work we do? Do a research about the company before going to the job interview. Why should we hire you? This is your chance to show why working for the company is important to you and why you think you will fit in. Don't mention other applicants for comparison. Tell me about a suggestion you have made. This will show that you care about the company's growth. Use an example that was accepted and successful, especially one that is related to the position. Do you consider yourself successful? You should always answer yes. Success doesn't necessarily have to be big ones, just mention how you have achieved goals you have set for yourself. What do co-workers say about you? Recall good things that your co-workers have said like, "My manager...
