I approached he talk with a customer. A Typical Day He told me he love this job, he need to receive many different customers every day, although in these customers Most people will not choose or buy a car, but he still need to patiently explain some information about VW cars to his clients. Mark's work time is Monday to Friday, he generally work from 12 PM to 6 PM, but if necessary he need work later. Like me, I remember the day I buy a car, it spend much time until seven o 'clock. His work is not busy, because every day if there is no customer, he can do some other things in the office. But if a situation, must be immediately returned to the post. Interview Analysis This interview show more new career ideas to me and how to conduct an interview. From this interview I realized that sale cars it not a simple thing. Auto Sales is an important part of consumer spending, it also can reflect Consumers' confidence in the economic outlook at the same time.

...Running Head: Unique Kirk Tia Houston Final Paper Eng. 1010 WCC 11/7/13 Abstract In this paper I will be explaining why and how my mom had a nervous breakdown. Back in 2008, I made a choice that I deeply regret which caused my mom to have a nervous breakdown and it also broken my family apart for a while. It all took place between my Grandma’s and my mom’s house which were next door to each other. It all started at my mom’s house when I came out on the porch to tell her, I approached her with sweaty hands and my breathing became rapid and my voice a little shaky when I blurted out, “Mom I’m pregnant!” but when I got the words out of my mouth, she responded with a surprised smile on her face and in a happy yet concerned voice, “I already knew that you were pregnant, but why did it take so long for you to tell me? You’ve graduated from school and you’re not young anymore.” I sat next to her and we talked a little more about the news, even though it was a lie but I told her, “I’m five months and the father moved out of town before I could tell him.” She sat with no response to what I have told her before she asked, “Do you want to tell the rest of the family the good news?” From that point I pulled out my cellphone from my pocket to make the call to everybody informing them of the good news. But hours later it took a turn for the worst, at my grandma’s house, I was lying on the floor by the TV, on my way to sleep when my grandma’s house phone started to ring. My mom reached...

...The Art of Persuasion By Eric Pratt English 1010 Eric Pratt English 1010 Tues, Thurs 09/28/2010 The Art of Persuasion The film “Twelve Angry Men” is a good resource when analyzing methods of persuasion. In this film a jury meets together to give the verdict of a murder trial. With the evidence presented in court there was no reasonable doubt among the jurors, except one, that the young man on trial killed his father. It was juror number 8, also known as Davis, who was hesitant at putting someone to death without talking about it. In a room where everyone is on the defense of proving the other wrong Davis was able to gather his own army out of those that were not even on his side in defense of the boy whose life was on the line. This film displays perfect examples of persuasion like admitting that one can be wrong and displaying information in a timely and organized manner. On the other hand it also displays bad examples of persuasion like losing one’s temper and not listening to everything one has to say. Despite the good and bad methods of persuasion used by Davis and his fellow jurors, it still turned out to be the best strategy of convincing everyone on the jury in this film to his way of thinking. Throughout the movie Davis demonstrated that he wasn’t sure if he was guilty or not. He had a reasonable doubt that he was guilty, but was still unsure of his innocence. In the beginning of the movie he was asked, “So you think he’s innocent?” He responded, “I...

...THINK that getting their organizations to learn is only a matter of articulating a clear vision, giving employees the right incentives, and providing lots of training. This assumption is not merely flawed – it’s risky in the face of intensifying competition, advances in technology, and shifts in customer preferences. Organizations need to learn more than ever as they confront these mounting forces. Each company must become a learning organization. The concept is not a new one. It flourished in the 1990s, stimulated by Peter M. Senge’s The Fifth Discipline and countless other publications, workshops, and websites. The result was a compelling vision of an organization made up of employees skilled at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge. These people could help their firms cultivate tolerance, foster open discussion, and think holistically and systemically. Such learning organizations would be able to adapt to the unpredictable more quickly than their competitors could. hbr.org 1010 Garvin.indd 109 | March 2008 | Harvard Business Review 109 1/30/08 12:13:45 PM TOOL KIT | Is Yours a Learning Organization? Unpredictability is very much still with us. However, the ideal of the learning organization has not yet been realized. Three factors have impeded progress. First, many of the early discussions about learning organizations were paeans to a better world rather than concrete prescriptions. They overemphasized the forest and...

...Communications 1010 Midterm Chapter 1 Question #2 The communication channel changes that I noticed went from the owners being the sole source of communication with the employees to the operations manager. The owners talked directly to each employee, but when the operations manager took over his source of communication became through written word and email. He first created an employee manual then went strictly to memos over email. There was never direct face-to-face communication any more. The owners lost their voice with the shop. They weren’t in on any of the new ways of communicating with their employees. It also seemed like the owners didn’t really know what was going on in each of the stores. By having new employee meetings and training available for the new employees, this would really help them to also know and gain an understanding of what is expected of them. This will help alleviate the employees learning the “wrong way” and won’t be taught from other employees that may be lazy or not as knowledgeable. Also, if they were to have a monthly meeting with everybody -- owners, managers, and employees – then if anything is new or changing for that month everybody will know about it at the same time. Also that is a good time to bring up any concerns that anybody has. It is just nice to know what to plan for each month, even though the information may be the same as last month. Depending on the culture background of an employee he or she may not respect...

...Austin Cooper Professor Lloyd English 1010 12/1/2012 Proposal Argument Day by day, college students arrive late to class if not completely missing it, and in the mean time they are also getting fined for illegal parking. In the article, “UT A Top National Public University,” it was written that the freshman class of 2009 held 3,723 students and had an average core GPA of 3.79 and ACT average of 26.5. As you can see The University of Tennessee Knoxville is a very sought after University to join. Being one of the top schools at its level, it has drawn a tremendous amount of attention and desire for students to attend. With in-state tuition being around $8,300 annually, they tend to draw in a heaping amount of students and scholars from all over the state. Tennessee Journalist reports an interview of UT student Liz Whitley, “The University sells more parking passes than there are spots available, so during busy times like lunch, it’s almost impossible to find a place to park your car.” Also according to another college student, “There were either too many permits given out, or people illegally parked there all the time,” as written by Aubrey Roff. The biggest issue as far as parking goes is that colleges issue too many permits to students. In reference to UT school website, the ratio of parking permits issued to actual parking spaces available is an almost 2 to 1 ratio; 1.85 to 1 to be precise. Based on the article, “Parking and Transit Services Rates” from the UT parking and...

...decimal Each position to the left is worth 10 more than the next position to the right. For numbers example: in the number 7654, the rightmost place is worth 1, the next to the right most position is worth 10, next position is worth 100 and the left most is worth 1000. The number 7654 is therefore: 7 ∗ 1000 + 6 ∗ 100 + 5 ∗ 10 + 4 ∗ 1 which is 7654 in decimal. The base 10 number system, numbers are represented by a list of symbols of which there are 10 kinds of symblos: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The position or place values are powers of 10: 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , ... or 1, 10, 100, 1000, ... Long ago computing machines used mechanical mechanisms and decimal represention but now with fast electricity based computing devices a new way to encode numbers and data in general is needed. 1 Binary In binary, the base of the number system is 2. Base 2 or binary numEach position to the left is worth 2 more than the next position to the right. bers For example: in the number 1101, the rightmost position is worth 1, the next to the right most position is worth 2, next position is worth 4 and the left most is worth 8. The number 1101 is therefore: 1 ∗ 8 + 1 ∗ 4 + 0 ∗ 2 + 1 ∗ 1 which is 13 in decimal. In short converting from binary to decimal is as easy as just adding up the binary digits times their place values.

...Anastasia Mozols Prof. Kate Simonian English 1010 30 September 2013 Personal Essay. It was a sunny day. My older brother and I were playing in the kid’s room, when our parents came. “We want to talk with you about something very exciting! We are going to move pretty soon! It is will be a long way to our new home! But, finally, our family will live closer to grandparents. Do you like that?" they asked. Of course, we did! Denis and I were very inspired about this news. We were too small to analyze how bad or good this decision was and accepted everything that our parents told us. Our family did not know how immigration from Kazakhstan to Russia would affect all aspects of our life. I looked to the daddy’s eyes and knew: everything was going to be alright. “I will prepare faster”, said my brother.” No, no! I will”, we were run to our room to pack all our toys for the new adventure. That night I had a hard time trying to sleep. I was imagining a new place, incredible house. I thought about how I could finally have a dog, a cat, or both! * * * So why did we leave? It was early 1990. The Kazakhstan steel was a part of Soviet Union, but the smell of close collapse of the system was in the air. My mother was pregnant with her third daughter and, of course, our decision about immigration was not so easy for my parents. They understood, that they left high-paying jobs, excellent apartment...

...Conflicts and Regional Security Southeast Asia has been one of the most vibrant regions in recent years. This resilient and dynamic region is one of the major hubs at the heart of Asia and is likely to play a significant role in the rising Asia. It can help shape and evolve the larger regional architecture in the Asia-Pacific region. Inside Southeast Asia, the internal political and social systems and the interaction between the two have created an interesting mix of hope, challenges and threats at the national, bilateral and regional levels. Besides, with the ongoing economic integration and political and security cooperation with regional powers, the regional organization-ASEAN seeks to balance these relations with the proliferation of new powers. The Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies (IPCS), as an independent research institute and a leading think-tank, explores what is happening in Southeast Asia today. The Southeast Asia Research Programme (SEARP) at the Institute monitors these internal issues in the region on a regular basis and further intends to convert the process into a annual meet to understand the dynamics of the current issues, challenges and problems in Southeast Asia. Three themes have been identified in the region which need immediate attention– Internal political challenges, inter-state conflicts and ASEAN and regional security. Theme-I Internal Political Challenges The primary security concerns confronting Southeast Asia have always been internal in...

...english 1010 October 15, 2015 On the Street Many people pass them on the side of the road, many have a thought they stay under bridges, also a lot of people think they are just low down. the truth is they are just human beings trying to survive one day at a time. 17% of the world is homeless that means out of the 7.3 billion people recored in the world over a billion of them are homeless. that makes up more then half of the united state population. though some were never educated and some where just put in a hard spot they all ended up in the same place, on the street. I asked one man, on the corner of highland and sam cooper why he's out here. He told me with a smile,” i'm working so I can eat.” Which got me interested? I was curious, why he was smiling. To have nothing, and be begging for money how could someone be so happy, but then Tyrone (the man from the corner) and I got into a deeper conversation; Tyrone told me he was my age once ,and he thought, he could take on the world. He said,” school wasn't for me and I had a bad hand dealt when I was younger,” with his father out of the picture and him the oldest of five siblings he knew he had to take the reins. With no education and job back round you ask what did he do. He did what any man would do he provided any way he could which took him down some long dark road. He stated he was in and out of jail and eventually his mother didn't want anything to do with him till he got back to who Tyrone truly was. So hearing hard...
