If I were in the shoes of the business owner, I would choose Jaime. The reason I would select Jaime over Avery is because she is reliable. Every time you give her a task of similar caliber you know what the end result will be. If Avery was performing at a high caliber most of the time or at least above average, she would be the easy choice. In this case Avery is below average most of the time and only performs exceptional well a small percentage of the time. In my opinion consistency is very important and is a high trait that I like in employees. Even if you have high-performance ceiling, that only shows your potential but doesn’t indicate your determination and drive. Performance is a great trait, but determination to achieve high performance is even more important  

The type of job that you would best put Jaime is one where it might be more entry level and there is a lot of repetition. The job set would be more of an administration type of jobs. Having a more paperwork position allows for her to remain constant and don’t require her to excel as certain times.

The type of job the Avery would be probably a recruiter/ sale, this allows her to determine the outcome of her job perspectives. If she wants to make money, she has to work hard to gain sales. If she’s does not meet her quote, she will be out of a job. This allows her to be a slacker and determine the outcome.

When I meet an employer, the first impression I give is friendly. My strengths that I have are I’m a hard worker, determined in what I do, fast learner, and problem solver. My weaknesses are I care about my employees to point where it can possibly make a negative impact, take on to many projects at once, and being to outspoken. The thing that makes me unique is that I have a broad range of skills and experiences. I have worked in Airport operations, Hotel operations, and as a sports official. These have given me tools is working in a fast-paced environment, high stress environment, and improving interpersonal skills.  

I think the best way to show the creative side by demonstrating these through an Ad is by making a video! In doing this it would be similar to a recruitment video. In this video I would demonstrate all the attributes of my job by performing day to day activities on the flight line. This would include talking to different organizations, pushing pallets, uploading cargo, and using problem solving skills to accomplish the task. This video would be kind of like a quick documentary showing one leg of a trip showing the up load and download of the airplane, and demonstrate all my strengths and weaknesses in doing my job. Another way I can be creative in showing this is by showing them what the path of a sports referee to get to the highest levels of collegiate sport and professional sports. The amount of work to achieve these levels, shows determination and drive to be successful. So be successful at the highest levels, you have to be athletically fit and work hard to be the best. Showing them the amount of training that goes into sports officiating will make anyone goes wow. A basketball referee watches 3 hours of film for every hour of game.

In my last job I was a C-17 Aircraft maintainer. I wanted a position that was on the flight line and was a good balance with working on school. The job description is very vague because the aircraft has so many systems and components that if you listed them the list would go on and on. The general job description does well in describing the activities that would happen fairly often. In the maintenance world, there is always something to do whether it is aircraft servicing (fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, or oxygen), just like you car you occasionally have to fix minor details until you hit a huge milestone, then the aircraft gets a complete overhaul which is called depot. The best way to refer to the position it’s a car mechanic for airplanes. The thing that I found out about the job compared to the description is for most part we ran the diagnostics (since the airplane is mostly electronics) and did most labor, but rarely hand is over to the specialist. It was a great job if you don’t mind long days and getting dirty.

Job description: We do everything we can to keep our aircraft in peak condition at all times. Conducting pre- and post flight inspections, Airlift/Special Mission Aircraft Maintenance specialists ensure that all our aircraft are operational and ready to fly. Primarily responsible for general maintenance, these technicians also determine when repairs require the focus of an individual systems specialist so the aircraft are ready to go whenever they’re needed.

So, if my favorite company were faced with a public lawsuit it would bring a slightly worried. I am a firm believer in there is two sides to every story. I would analyze the situation prior to making an opinion on the subject. I would first look at the evidence against the company if the evidence proved the company was making discrimination-based actions then it would definitely change the way I feel on the company. It would definitely influence my decision to support the business. A way a company can rebuild my trust is my outlining a plan to fix the issue at hand. A good example is Starbucks, they had racial discrimination on using the restroom when they had a policy in place that only paying customers can use it. Starbucks admitted they were wrong and immediately had a shutdown day to give racial training and changed its policy. If I were to apply for a company that had a discrimination suit in the past, I would take it consideration what changes they have made to the company whether leadership, training, and relative steps to avoid having similar actions happen again. If they were to take corrective action within the company, then I would consider applying for the company if it were an industry or a job that I would like to fill. What makes the difference in me supporting a company is what are they doing to change the culture of discrimination. I don’t want company that is constantly getting in legal trouble or doesn’t want change for the better. If they are willing to learn in get better, I want to help that company strive to get better.
