Once the applications are reviewed, the best candidates are then selected and an interview for each candidate is set up on a specific date and time. Preparation is critical to make a positive impression and set you above the other applicants. Most organizations have a website with an abundance of helpful information. Your aim is to research and familiarize yourself with their website. What are their strengths? What types of services or products do they offer? Other facts such as their location, size and history are typically available and can be useful to show your knowledge of the organization. Research who their top competitor is, and make sure you are familiar with any current events that may involve or could potentially impact the organization. The next step is to gather any documentation that would be useful during the interview. At the very least, an additional copy of your resume should be in hand. If you have any work samples or a portfolio, you should prepare to bring that along with you.

Its possibly the best time of the year, football season. The weekends couldn’t get any better than this. A legitimate reason to keep myself indoors.

My high school diploma and my Associates Degree from Miami Dade, a constant reminder that there is still work to be done. I think I somewhat become infatuated and addicted to those things.

The first step we had was to establish a good communication between each person which is very important for meetings. This leads to build a good relationship with each other in class and outside of class. After a good communication has been set up, we usually set up a time to meet up to discuss headlines about our presentation. Most of the time we had conflict to find a mutual time agreement and we used this website where everyone entered his or her free time and we could see a day and time where everyone can meet up. The most important part of that meeting is to assign everyone a task in the textbook. In the worst case scenario we can usually meet on Skype to have that step done. Once that step is done, it becomes more personal where everyone has to do his or her own research. It usually consists on working on a part of the presentation topic.

...When deciding whether or not to take online courses, there are three important factors that must be considered; dedication, determination, and motivation. It can be difficult to balance life’s daily chores and because of this anyone considering online courses must be ready to make sacrifices. Life can always get in the way and you must be able to decide what is more important. Online courses require, at the minimum, a few hours each day without distraction. You must find something to keep yourself motivated; be it a promotion at work or simply having a diploma. Determination is a must in order to get the job done as it is very easy for things to fall apart. It can become extremely stressful balancing work, home, and school. It is also difficult to motivate yourself to “attend” school without a set schedule which is why a daily regimen must be establish and adhered to. Online courses aren’t necessarily easier than classroom courses; you get to wear pajamas but you lack direct contact with a professor or with someone else of experience. If you are not easily motivated or is a visual learner that requires direct contact with a professor, online courses may not be recommended. Online courses are recommended for dynamic learners who have the dedication, determination, and motivation to get the job done. There are many pros and cons for taking online courses. Here are just a few of the pros: not sitting in a classroom, not being late for class, reduced costs, and the ability to...

...Judith Litton MAN 104 April 4, 2015 Independence University Small Business Interview This small business interview was conducted between Judith Litton (student) and Kelly Maynard (Thirty-one consultant). The interview took place on April 1, 2015 over the telephone. I told Kelly I needed to know what makes women want to become Thirty-one consultants. Kelly said that she has sold many different products over the last few years such as, Avon, Mary Kay Cosmetics, and even some jewelry, and she stated that out of all of her ventures she has been the happiest with her Thirty-one career. I asked Kelly when she first decided to become a Thirty-one consultant what if any particular challenges she faced while attempting to build her business and she said there were a couple of different things that she had to deal with. Kelly stated that the biggest challenge she faced was she had to wait so long to be able to sign up as a consultant. Over four years ago when she decided to join that was when over ninety three hundred other women decided to join Thirty-one as consultants also. Thirty-one was forced to put a joining freeze on which lasted a little over six months. Kelly stated that once the freeze was lifted Thirty-one broke the women into three groups based on their last names which meant that Kelly was put into the second group of new consultants. With this additional obstacle that just meant that Kelly ended up waiting an additional ninety days before she was able to...

...The faces of my coach, my teammates, and myself were covered in sadness and disappointment. It was the day of the State Cheerleading Championships at the Siegel Center at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia; a day I will never forget. The morning of the biggest competition of the season I woke up bright and early to get myself ready to go to Grassfield High School to meet my team. Upon arrival at our school, my teammates and I joined together in the gymnasium and set out the cheer mats so we could warm up our skills. We ran through our tiring routine and practiced our individual stunts as much as we needed to in order to feel prepared to compete. After what felt like a successful warm-up, my teammates and I put the mats away and sat around in the gym, anxiously waiting to leave. After what felt like several hours, our charter bus arrived to take us to our competition. We all boarded the bus and got out our uniforms while the team captains checked to ensure we had them with us. We tried to get comfortable for our two to three hour bus ride and off we went. Because it was early, we went...

...Abstract There are some assumptions made by university health care system in its implementation that the common advantages of using a computerized system would obviously work to their own advantage. Users of the system make a great impact to the existence of the same. It is imperative to consider old data that is supposed to be fed to the system in order to make it efficient while updating the rest of information. Self evaluation process is recommendable to the system by the Information Technology experts. The human interface of the system should be included by the evaluation team. This will include two psychologists. The above aspects should be considered by a team of analysts before they conclude on whether the project does or does not meet its worth. Case Study 16, “Assessing the Value and Impact of CPOE.” University Health Care System did not do a thorough investigation of the impacts that the CPOE process would have had on the current system. For this reason, they took the step to begin the process without having had its basics. They may have had assumed that the common advantages of using a computerized system would obviously work to their own advantage. They failed to realize that the user understands and experience with using the new system would have a significant impact on the efficiency of the system. The staff had not been well educated on how to use the system and hence had remarkably little experience on how to make it work out for them. They had the right idea...

...Ready or Not…. For once, governments and public health official appear to be more prepared than businesses do. They have spent billions preparing for a potential influenza pandemic by buying medicines, running disaster drills, and developing strategies for tighter border controls. On the other hand, a survey of global companies by London-based newsletter Continuity Central found that 72 percent have not even begun to get ready for a potential bird flu pandemic. Businesses in the U.S. seem to be particularly unprepared. In a survey by Deloitte & Touche of 100 U.S. executives, two-thirds said their companies had not yet prepared adequately for avian flu, and most have not one specifically in charge of such a plan. What these businesses might not realize is how they potentially will be affected. For instance, how will they continue to do their business if their workforce is ill or quarantined; if transportation, communication, utility services of other necessary public infrastructure functions are not available or are only available in limited areas; or if financial services are curtailed? How will they earn revenues if the general public is sick or not able to venture out? It’s a scenario with monumental implications for both the short term and the long term. One company that has panned for any potential avian flu outbreak is Deutsche Bank. The steps it has taken include making sure employees in infected zones don’t carry the disease to co-workers, moving others out...

...Are We Ready? What does ASEAN Integration really mean? How could this integration affect the lives of Filipino people? Are we ready for this? Am I ready? As a student, I am wondering why we need this ASEAN integration if according to the news our economic status is now improving. I know we are part of ASEAN region but are we entitled to adapt and integrate with them. Why do we need to level off ourselves from different countries globally? There are so many questions, and still remains a question for everyone especially for me. But I have faith in our country that we can prove it like what we did before this integration, which we Filipinos can adapt. By this I believe we can survive to the educational changes – specifically in our curriculum or the K to 12 Program. I know this has been set up so that we can level off with ASEAN and the rest of the world. Though there are some errors and lapses in instituting this program, I can see the efforts of Educational agencies to provide a quality education which we can say would help us to compete universally. And this kind of leveling up our education quality is necessary The strengthening of our universities is a necessity because we want to compete with the world as global athletes, not just barangay warriors. That could be the reason why we should involve the Department of Education, Commission on Higher Education, Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, and the Department of Labor and Employment to have that assurance...
