The first impression that I present to potential employers was active and willing to take responsibility person. I would like to present myself as a responsible person and willing to take risks that the employer could be able to trust me and give me tasks without worrying about will I ruin the job tasks. Also, I would like to present as an active person who is willing to ask for help when I faced difficulties. Being active is important in the workplace as the employer gets you thousands of job duties and you have to do extra than those and show your passion of work by being active to ask questions and provide advice. My strengths would be great in communication skills and I can keep a good relationship with others. Having the ability to have a great communication platform with your colleagues is really important to help your career path and be able to present your ideas to colleagues. My weaknesses would be a perfect pursuing person who would also require jobs to be done in a well way and no mistakes.

The means of a novel and creative situation wanted ad visible for me is to show the role play in my daily life. My daily conversation with my previous colleagues, for example how I keep the relationship with them and the way I presented my ideas to my colleagues. Letting employers get a higher understanding of myself. Also, I would provide my previous colleagues or employers’ comments for me about my performance of job duties and responsibilities. It allows employers to get more information by people with more real than just admiring myself.

Thinking of the last job that I had, the last job that I had was during summer. At that time, I have searched for my internship job in jobsDB. During the job searching, I have found for the Human Resources job position to apply for. When I search for jobs, I will usually start looking at the job description. The job description will list all the main job duties and job responsibilities.

The last job that I had was an HR internship. The job description did help me a lot when I applied for the job. As I would learn more about what job duties I actually need to do in the department of human resources. The job requires me to do the normal administrative duties and the main job duties were recruiting and holding events. At first, I would like to place my previous association club experience to the job because I think my previous experience would help me to get the job offer. The job description helps me to get more information and to have a deeper understanding of the job duties. It let me make the decision of applying for the job.

I think the job description is always similar to the actual duties that I have to finish. It is because the employers would also like to ensure you have the ability to do the tasks they gave us. It is not necessary for them to hide their job duties. If they hide it and the employees that hired, have no ability to do the tasks, they need to rehire. It will become more complicated.

Recently, I have read a news about my favorite company was faced with a public lawsuit in which they were accused of widespread discrimination against individuals from an ethnicity, culture, or belief system you associate with. It turns totally my side and support to the company.

I think the outstanding claims of discrimination change the way I felt about the company. I could not accept a company that involves discrimination, no matter who are they discriminated against (customers/ employees). I do think discrimination is the worse situation that a company provides to its stakeholders. As first, I love the company so well because they provided the customers with extraordinary shopping experiences. I thought they will treat individuals well as I always think they are the best company ever. However, after knowing the fact that they have such discrimination, I turned my side and no longer willing to support this company. It is very important for a company to keep its respect toward their stakeholders. My support towards a company does not only depend on how the quality that the products from a company. But it is more about the brand image of a company. Once the company breaks its own image to the public, the public will get disappointed and no longer support them. As the customers are buying the brand and when they pay for the products, it is meaning that they support the action the company did. Therefore, if the customers keep buying the products from the discriminated company, they are also being the one who discriminated.

In the future, I would not like to work for such a company being involved in discrimination. If the company would discriminated against individuals, the company is not a good one and also I would afraid that I would be the next one who is being discriminated against.

When a company is considering how should the resources being allocated, the department of marketing or product design is normally getting more resources than others. The reasons why some companies might think that marketing or product design is more important than employee recruitment and selection are because of the short term effectiveness and costs. When a company decides the way to increase their profit, the first idea comes up with will always be launching a new product. Since the company thinks the product can directly help with the sales volume. However, they always forget about the help from the good employees. How to launch a good product or get a good marketing team without great employees? Thus, the company always neglect the recruitment and selection is because of the direct income source from a company. Also, the second reason will cost. Companies think that it is always difficult to hire a good employee because a good employee requests a lot such as a higher salary and benefits. If the company is not providing a satisfying compensation package to the applicants, it is hard for the company to attract them.

The potential strength of a company not to prioritize employee recruitment and selection will be a higher expected profit. As putting more resources in marketing, the company will know more about the customers’ needs and the market segments to fulfill the market. For the potential weakness, the employees might not be competitive enough compared to other companies. As the company is not willing to allocate more resources in recruitment and selection, the newly hired candidates might be able to fulfill the job tasks that are required, but they might not be able to input the extra.

As a junior student, I have tried different types of jobs. In the job application, the last job I have applied for is my internship. As I did not have many job experiences before, I believed that my resume is not as well as other applicants. Therefore, I did not mention much about my job experiences but I have mentioned my experience in being a residence association club to enrich my resume. After finishing my resume, I found a company and job that is matched my expectations to apply through jobsDB. A few days later, I received a phone call from the company I have applied for, asking me to have the interview. As I have never tried to get a formal interview before, I asked my parents and friends to give me advice that can help to prepare my interview.

During the interview, I got lots of information from the interviewer telling me about the company’s history. I also understood what job duties I have to do as well as my responsibilities. When the interviewer asked why the company should hire me for the internship position, I realized that I can make good use of my experience from the residence association club. As my job duties including job tasks to organize different activities to colleagues. My previous association club experience matches the job duty. I found myself will be helpful and I can assist the company to hold the activities. After knowing my own values to the company, it increased my desire to work there. I thought being an interviewee will be tough stuff for me, but in fact, it helps me to understand more about whether the company is the one that I am looking for and also helps the company to look for the right candidates.
