Final Hybrid Homework

On Wednesday 29, 2015 Professor Santana set up mock interviews in groups of three for the class. In my group I was the first to hear the questions and give my best answers or answers I thought would serve more purpose to the exercise. The interview went very well and I answered each question with confidence and talked more about my experiences than anything else because it showed that I learned from those certain situations that I had to endure. When it was my turn to give the interview I based the questions off of what would be asked in a real interview because most of the questions that were on the list were poorly written. Alex answered his questions well and like myself based his answers from personal experience. So, all in all the interviews went very well and everyone answered the questions in a professional manner.

Employment Project

The employment project went pretty well and after completing the assignment, I understood the value it had on me. The skills inventory really helped me establish the way I work with other individuals and how I establish a sort of happiness with all of my employees. When I typed everything up, I didn’t really speak highly of myself because then it would have shown what type of individual I am. When I was creating the resume it brought back memories because it explains were a certain individual begins his/her working experience. Growing up, I had many work experiences so writing about it helped me remember where I came from and how hard I have worked to become the person I am today. Also, the John C. Lincoln hospital was my first interview, so I knew what to expect when we did the mock interview with the class on Wednesday. The questions at the hospital interview were similar to the questions that we got in class. Moving on, the job analysis worksheet was opinionated and the main reason for it was to get more information from the place where that the job is being attained. So the main reason for the job analysis is to inform the professor about the location that you are applying for or want to apply for.
Cover Letter
The cover letter was also pretty easy because once the resume was completed all that was needed was to thoroughly explain what was going on in that resume. Like in the beginning, I talked about where I currently work and how it’s going so far and how have I improved since then. Well, I started off by saying that even though my mother owns the restaurant; it doesn’t mean that I get special credit. It means that you have to do twice the amount of work. I started at cleaning the tables and moping the areas that were dirty then from them I was promoted and so on. Currently, I hold a managerial position and correct any situation that becomes crazy and unmanageable. I look forward to those types of incidents happening because it shows that you have improved from the beginning to the end. In the near future, I hope that our business expands and becomes a franchise, so that we can make a name of ourselves. Right now we are blessed and everyone’s work experience is going great and expanding, so at this rate I am excited to see what is in store for me in the future. The employees help me a lot because they also see if I’m doing my job correctly.

Going back to the project as a whole, I believe that it saved everyone an enormous amount if time because some of the students in the class are graduating and needed to submit a resume to jobs and by doing this project it puts them in a good position to begin with. Also, the professor could help these students submit a proper resume the correct way because most students still do not have a clue on how to write a resume. This project did many things to me at least because I knew how to write a resume, but I know more now that I completed my resume and got help from the professor. So all in all I would like to thank Professor Santana for such a great semester and that she taught me so much not only in English, but also in a more professional way.
