Introduction In career planning there are four steps or processes that are followed. These include self-assessment where one has to evaluate themselves to find out what they want with their lives. This includes their interests, values, skills and developmental needs. Secondly one has to assess available options to ensure that they will get opportunities to practice their skills after completing their training. The third process is matching where one may identifies possible occupations and compare various alternatives. This can be done by comparing their short and long term options. Finally, one has to take action whereby they have to put into use the other three steps to make sure that achieve their set goals. Body My career vision is to provide efficient leadership to business people on how to manage their businesses. This means that I will make sure that I apply my knowledge and skills in advising people on how to succeed in their business. My career mission is to be the best business manager in my organization. A strong business manager should develop ethical values in order to earn credibility from their customers. This means that one has to be trustworthy and reasonable enough in order to advise people adequately. In fact, one should develop listening skills in order to allow clients adequate time to present their cases. This will guide them in making a decisive conclusion hence helping them run their businesses best. In order for one to achieve their goals they need to identify their competition. This is extremely significant because people plan on handling competition in order to achieve their goals. In fact, one should be able to carry out research on business operating environment in order to come up with strategies of achieving their goals. One has to balance their internal characteristics and external requirements in order to succeed. This is tremendously beneficial because one has to be tolerance to their competitors by practicing fair competition. This helps organization to run their operations without facing conflicts from other players in the business environment. In addition, one has to listen from customers in order to come up with what they want from the business firm. This means that a talented business manager should be able to prioritize issues brought about by customers and competitors, as well. Competition and cooperation plays key roles in career development. For instance, competition helps business managers to come up with best ideas to counter threats brought about by competitors. This helps them to strengthen their skills hence developing their careers. Cooperation also plays a key role in career development. This is evident because i
Analysis of major characters Howards End Analysis of Helen Schlegel Helen Schlegel is an idealistic, kind and very unpractical person. Like her sister Margaret, she is concerned about the struggles of poor people, especially the Basts; however, she cannot offer them valuable help. She has an obvious disdain for money and agrees with her sister, who says that it is “the warp of the world” (Forster, 98). Yet, Helen does not realize that without it, she would have been unable to lead a care-free life. She is fond of literature, art, and music; to some degree, they enable her to escape harsh reality or at least not to think about it. This aestheticism does not make her callous or indifferent of other people, but she cannot fully understand what kind of challenges they have to face. She fails to realize that culture, education, or art cannot exist without money, she takes them for granted. Helen is genuinely willing to help poor people and she even offers money to the Basts, but she is so generous because she has never had to earn her living. This is the main barrier that prevents her from understanding the needs of these people. Helen’s attitude toward Henry Wilcox tells much about her values and believes. She dislikes this man because of his materialism and disapproves of her sister’s decision to marry him. His business and slightly mercantile character annoys her, and she believes that her sister and Wilcox are incompatible with one another. Overall, it is possible to say that Helen does not accept realistic attitude toward life. Helen is a complete antagonist of Henry Wilcox, though at the end she manages to accept him because she sees that pure aestheticism is not the only components of people’s relations and happiness. Additionally, to Helen’s surprise, Wilcox proves to be a kind and compassionate man. By describing this conflict between these characters, Edward Forster shows that Helen’s lack of real life knowledge does not allow her to see good qualities in other people. Helen’s behavior suggests that she cannot bear responsibility for her actions. For example, when she becomes pregnant, Helen leaves her family and goes to Germany, in part because she does not other people to know about her condition. Furthermore, Helen avoids meeting her sister, because she is very much ashamed of herself. Eventually, she reconciles herself with Margaret and her husband, but readers can see that Helen’s personality has changed significantly. In particular, she becomes more practical and more aware of those obstacles that common people have to overcome. Apart from that, this character understands that her unconcerned attitude was the main cause of Leonard Bast’s death and the ruin of his family, but it is not clear whether she feels regret for her actions. Edward Forster might have included this character into the novel for several reasons. First, Helen represents an intellectual who is alienated from others and whose understanding is based mostly on books rather than real experience. Secondly, her example shows that philosophizing about social injustice or poverty is of very little use
People often choose the occupation which is familiar to them from their childhood because of their parents’ specialization or because of the extreme interest in some spheres. Michael Dorris presents his vision of the role of a profession in the person’s life in his short story “The Benchmark”. Frank, the protagonist of the story, feels a real passion for his work in the field of hydrology, and different stages of his life are closely connected with his occupation. Although it is typical to portray characters with references to their work, Dorris explores the theme of the protagonist’s occupation paying attention to the role of the profession in Frank’s life as the way to feel pain and be happy at different life stages and concentrating on the protagonist’s attitude to the vocation. Frank’s interest in hydrology can be explained with references to his father’s work. Frank became the follower of his father’s ideas and made water and water objects a significant part of his life. It is important to note that the protagonist’s passion for his work can be discussed as extreme because Frank is inclined to assess the other people according to their attitude to his passion. Thus, Frank’s wife Martha should also overcome the test on the attitude to the water and Frank’s occupation. That is why, Frank hopes that his children could follow his business. However, Frank states, “it bothers me, when I let it, that I’ve apprenticed no successor (Dorris 502). The protagonist feels a kind of frustration understanding that his children are not interested in his work. The author develops the theme of vocation as the protagonist’s way to escape from the reality. Moreover, the aspects of Frank’s occupation form his reality that is why all the tragic and happy situations are connected with the particular features of his work. Thus, Frank hopes that his son Ben can become a good successor. The protagonist states that by the time Ben was seven “he was my number one. He had the eye, no question. He could sense the vibration of water it moved under layers of dry ground, could calculate on a sunny day the route a rain spill might follow” (Dorris 504). Nevertheless, the favourite occupation can become the source of the pain. Ben dies, and the cause of his death is closely associated with the result of his father’s work. However, this tragic situation does not influence Frank’s attitude to his work because now his occupation is his way to overcome the depression. Dorris accentuates that Frank experienced some changes in his attitude to work, but in spite of any situations, hydrology remains to take the first position in his life. Frank stresses, “I became less my father’s son and more a man for himself, in my own eyes as well as in the estimate of others” (Dorris 506). Frank continues to build ponds after the death of his son, and he understands that his actions can be discussed as indirect causes of
Figure 1. The evaluation report. According to the evaluation report, Sally has a good grip on how to behave in front of a customer. She is confident, always smiling, tries to present her company in a favorable light, and is not afraid to admit a mistake or her lack of knowledge. These are very good qualities in a salesperson. However, her flaws are many. Her personality flaws include a lack of creative thinking, which is shown by her inability to generate new ways of tackling problems, and general lack of punctuality, which is shown by her low scores in returning calls and submitting reports on time. While punctuality and forgetfulness could be remedied through organizers and notes, a lack of creative thinking is much harder to make up for. Lastly, she should learn the applications and functions of all company products, which is an easy task. This survey shows that the company lacks an adequate training program for its salespersons. Functions and applications of company products should be explained to salespersons in detail if the company wishes them to be successful.
Introduction To implicate the knowledge that I acquired through studies and classroom lectures, I needed to work in a real business environment. Further, I needed to learn new skills and expertise in the real corporate environment. Hence, I decided to follow an internship in a well-established organization, where I could get all relevant experiences and a congenial environment. My choice for following the internship program was the Landmark Group. My objective in choosing the Landmark group was to benefit from the prolific work culture of the company. I wanted to facilitate my understanding of the corporate business world and to improve my expertise in the same. Besides this, I wanted to gain experience and develop new skills that are necessary for working in a real business environment. The reason for choosing the Landmark group for my internship program was that it is one of the leading companies in the region and offers a congenial environment for learning and experiencing the corporate work culture. In my eight weeks internship in LANDMARK, I did assignments that were related mostly to the marketing sector. The reason behind this choice was to enhance my knowledge of the English language and to pursue my interest in the marketing sector. However, I endeavored to gain experience in the jobs related to other departments too. This report is a short description of my eight weeks internship carried out as a part of my course. The internship was carried out within the organization LANDMARK in the retail business segment in 2014. Since I am interested in marketing; the work was focused on marketing and promotional activities. The internship report consists of the activities that I performed during my eight weeks program in LANDMARK to achieve the stated objectives. It also reflects the effects on my work and the accomplishment of my expectations from this internship program. My experience of the whole internship program is also presented in this report.

Abstract The American Red Cross is an organization that offers humanitarian aid to individuals struck by disasters and emergencies such as earthquakes, floods, blasts, and hurricanes. In the assessment, it is noteworthy that the author of the marketing plan is a competent individual with essential qualifications, and a passion to work as an operations manager in the organization. Since American Red Cross offers quality services, it enjoys a high reputation; therefore, it should employ effective marketing mix and perform SWOT analysis to maintain its position in the competitive realm of non-profit organizations. Summary The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization in the United States that prevents disasters and alleviates the misery that people experience in the occurrence of disasters. Organizational Background The American Red Cross is an organization based in the United States and has its offices in Washington. The humanitarian organization offers donated blood, alleviates disasters, provides international relief, it improves human safety, and supports the military officers and their families ( American Red Cross, 2014). Moreover, the organization offers services like education, training, and development of humanitarian structures to boost emergency responses in the United States. The chief executive officer heads national operations, while the board of directors heads local offices in various states. The purpose of the American Red Cross is “to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors” ( Give, 2014, p. 2). In its purpose, the American Red Cross has gained significant reputation in providing humanitarian aid. The emergence of the organization dates back to 1881, when Clara Barton started the organization, and made it receive the first and the second congressional charter in 1900 and 1905. The annual revenues of the American Red Cross are about $3,470,535,000 ( Give, 2014). In addition, American Red Cross has 32,000 paid employees and uses 92% of its donations in programs ( Give, 2014). The goals of the programs are to improve disaster preparedness, promote health and safety conditions, prevent diseases, offer emergency services, support armed forces and their families, and provide humanitarian aid. The management of the organization comprises of Gail McGovern, the chief executive officer, who took over leadership in 2008, James Hrouda, the executive vice president, and Bonnie McElveen-Hunter, who is the chair of the board of directors. These top officials work together with the board of directors and executives such as Sarah Corrigan, Brad Campbell, and Richard Lee, who are directors of various local offices in the United States. In our community, the organization helps during emergencies by providing services like shelter, education, and blood donation. Author’s Background Educationally, the author is a finalist pursuing a Bachelors degree in business administration with an associate degree of business in business administration from Baker College. The educational qualification shows that the au
Human beings are social beings in nature who find it difficult to stay alone. As a result, they require people who are close to them, people with whom they can share ideas and help one another. A person who is close to us and whom we enjoy spending time with is referred to as a friend. Everybody in life requires friends because they are always there when we need them. Friends can be categorized into best, fair and new friends. Best friends are friends who can be trusted in all circumstances and who are ready to offer any assistance required. In other words, best friends have qualities that distinguish them from other types of friends. For people to be our best friends, they do not have to be cute or possess a lot of wealth, but best friends possess some crucial qualities. One of the qualities that a best friend should possess is the ability to understand us. This means that the person knows us very well by recognizing our behaviors, fears, and the things will value and adore. In addition, a friend who understands us knows when we are unhappy and comforts us. Another quality that is characteristic of best friends is honesty. A best friend should be able to keep our deepest secrets and should never talk ill of us or betray us. Honest friends are trustworthy and we feel safe when we share secrets with them because we do not have worries that the information will spread to other people. A friend to qualify to be our best friend also needs to be caring. An example of a best friend is our parents or our spouses. The second type of friends is referred to as a fair friends. Although fair friends are slightly different from best friends, they are friends who can be relied on in different ways. One of the qualities that should be possessed by a fair friend is impartiality. Being impartial means that fair friends are just and they do not give information aimed at making us happy when, in real sense, there are potential risks. In all circumstances, fair friends like to see that we get the attitude that we deserve. Sometimes, we require people who tell us the truth, no matter how painful it might be, so that we avoid getting into trouble. However, some friends praise us when they know that we are heading the wrong di
The reader is extremely important for the writer because reading is the significant act in disclosing the generosity of the work, and the writer should understand for whom he writes because the reader is free in reading, and he is also responsible for the work and for the produced universe. From this perspective, in “Why Write?”, Jean-Paul Sartre recognizes the importance of the reader’s personality for the general act of writing, reading, disclosing the world. Sartre notes that “the one who writes recognizes … the freedom of his readers” (Sartre 67). Thus, Sartre focuses on one of the most important questions for the writer in order to provide the contest for the ideas of generosity, essentialism, freedom, and justice. This question is “For whom does one write?” (Sartre 69). Concentrating on the role of the reader, Sartre receives the opportunity to discuss the complex process of writing as the act in which both the writer and reader are responsible for disclosing the aspects of the world. From this point, addressing the freedom of the reader, Sartre clearly states, “both of us bear the responsibility for the universe” as the world of writing (Sartre 66). Thus, the reader is responsible for the universe while referring to the idea of generosity. Disclosing the world, both the writer and reader should be not only free but also generous. That is why, the reader and his freedom are the focus for the writer who often writes for the certain public. In this case, literature becomes not only the product of writing but also the product of relations between the writer and his audience because the written world can reveal itself clearly only within the context of the reader’s perception
How do we know the rate at which Turkana Boy grew up? How does Turkana Boy’s growth rate compare to those of chimpanzees and modern humans? What might be the evolutionary point of a prolonged childhood? Turkana Boy grew up at a rate that is more typical for the growth of chimpanzees rather than for humans because of the extreme speed. It is possible to conclude the age of Turkana Boy as well as the rate of growth referring to the skeleton’s dentine parts. Thus, the enamel is characterized by a regular growth pattern, and each day of life can be reflected on the enamel. That is why the age can be count appropriately according to the signs on enamel. Despite the large size of the body, Turkana Boy’s age is only eight years, and the evolutionary point of the prolonged childhood is based on the necessity for the human brain to develop completely after birth during the childhood period. How and what can we learn about the cognitive abilities of Homo erectus by studying the endocasts of their brains? What can we add to this understanding by examining their stone tools? Studying endocasts of the brains of Homo erectus, it is possible to conclude about the abilities of these humans to think and speak. Endocasts allow speaking about the shape of the brain and, as a result, about abilities to talk. Examining the endocasts of Turkana Boy, it is possible to assume that Turkana Boy could talk. The focus on stone tools and the particular features of their design and practicality help discuss the abilities of Homo erectus about the decision-making process and assessment of their activities. The usage of definite stone tools can support the opinion on Turkana Boy’s developing thinking processes such as decision making. How are humans adapted for “persistence hunting,” and what evidence suggests that Homo erectus may have been capable of this technique? Humans are adapted to ‘persistence hunting’ because of the ability to sweat. The air can circulate freely close to the human skin because the human body is rather hairless. From this perspective, the body can cool down with the help of sweat evaporation. Thus, Homo erectus could run for long distances and pursuit an animal till its exhaustion because of this characteristic feature. The ability of Homo erectus to find food supports the idea that humans have been capable of the technique. What species is referred to as the “hobbit,” and when did it live? What reason is suggested for the small size of this hominin? Why do researchers think it is interesting that these hominins made and used stone tools? Homo floresiensis is referred to as the ‘hobbit’ because of the small size of the body. Homo floresiensis is as
