technology

We have used technology in numerous ways for our group project. We have communicated with each other via email and have sent files to each other to review and to have for our portfolios. The electronic forum was useful for this project so that the ability to call on any part of the project that had been completed thus far was readily available. I feel our group was the most low tech in that we did not create an internet page or face book page but we were one of the most effective cost efficient groups with a plan that can be implemented almost immediately.

Ethical standards

The example we went over in class about the memo sent about the vans as transport of merchandise that turned out to be the Nazis transporting Jewish children was pretty shocking. I feel that a certain level of ethical behavior must always be maintained in order for you to have a safe and efficient work environment.

Job Miscommunication

At work a few weeks ago, we had a miscommunication occur between the waitresses and the cooks. We had four orders come back that were written for items that we did not serve. We asked the waitresses and we saw that the people had ordered the right thing they had just written it down wrong but by that time we had backed our orders up so we were all set back.

favorite presentation

My favorite presentation from last week was that of the best places to vacation at. I really liked it because it was cool to see different places and what they offered. My past experiences with online portfolios are from CU 101 my freshman year. We learned what we need to post into our E-portfolio and added three different pieces to it.

make up post for JAN 11

I think that the new use of the internet makes it very interesting for us now entering the job force. Incorporating new technologies,I.E. hypertext, shows how intricate technology is in applying for and searching for jobs.

3 presentations

My favorite three presentations were the worst 5 pick up lines, the new jersey one, and the best super bowl commercials. I liked the worst pick up lines one because it was straight and to the point but very entertaining. The new jersey one was very good because I learned alot about what New Jersey was really like. The one about the super bowl commercials was good because of the visual aids of being able to watch the commercials.

cover letter

I think that would be unprofessional to do that with your cover letter. I feel that you should not have anything handwritten on your cover letter. It should be done in the up most professional way because this is showing your potential employer how serious you are about applying for this job. If you do things like that it makes it look like you are trying to make some of it informal and that you are not that serious for this job.

Client Visit

I enjoyed listening to our client and her ideas during class last week. Right now I am still trying to really understand what exactly we are really going to do and less of what she is going to do overall with her program. I really enjoy my group I feel that it is a good mix of people.

Interview Mistakes

I do feel that these are all very valid mistakes of what to avoid for your interview. However, I feel that a really big one is that you dress appropriate for your interview. You should not show up to your interview wearing a t-shirt and jeans if you are interviewing for an office job. However, you should not show up wearing a shirt and tie for an interview to work as a cook at a restaurant. Another thing is you should not talk back to your interviewer, no matter how wrong they might be. They must be treated with the up most respect because remember they are the one in charge of hiring you. You need the job, not them.

Random Blog

So today we are supposed to blog about anything. I am going to talk about why I think that there should be a salary cap in Major League Baseball. Right now it has gotten ridiculous how that every off season it is the same teams that compete for the top free agents. (I.E. Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Cubs, Dodgers and Angels) Unlike in the NFL, where there is a salary cap in place, there is no real parity in MLB. Yeah you have the random uprisings of teams with low salaries such as the 2003 Florida Marlins or the Tampa Bay Rays from last season, but all in all it is the same teams competing. I feel that with a salary cap: it would bring parity to baseball, help infuse fan interest back into the game, and make the main focus of front offices into developing and scouting talent and not who can sign the biggest check for the free agent all star. I know this is like arguing for a play off system in college football (I am a fan of the bowl system personally) but I feel that this is something that is going to have to be done if Major League Baseball is to establish itself as a major sport instead of falling further behind the NFL and NBA.

My life

Well for this blog I need to talk about what I would like to do with my life. My job I would like to have some job where I get to interact with people because I am a really good people person. I think that is a good area for me, one of my real strengths. Right now I am not too picky about my job though because with the economy the way it is, I should just be really happy to have a stable job with good pay. Down the road I would like to get married but I would have to be sure that she was the one. I think after college I am going to be more likely to get a dog than anything at first. I really want a Blue-Tick Coon Hound.
