Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Over the course of this term, I learned a lot about recruitment and selection. I came into this class not knowing much at all about this topic, but now I feel confident enough to describe it to others. The most important thing I learned was the lesson on the implications for Job Seekers in last…

For this week’s blog post the task is to evaluate myself through four different questions: What am I good at? At this point in my life I feel that I am good a several different things. Some of these include: analytical skills, leadership, organizational skills, Emotional intelligence, communication, and a few more. I have realized…

For this week’s assignment I chose to do the short version of the IPIP-NEO. This test consisted of 120 different personality questions that I answered honestly. The results of the test did not really shock me, and I did not think that anything was that inaccurate. In the first section of Extraversion, I scored as…

I would no longer consider that company to be my favorite anymore and would look for the…

The last job I applied for was actually an internship position last year at CED or Consolidated Electrical Distributors. I have been lucky to have had many jobs, but only actually applied to one of them because of connections or other circumstances.
