  • Blog Post: Most Important Thing You’ve Learned

    I think that the most important thing that I have learned from this course is the the importance of how interviewing is conducted and the most effective methods of how to complete these. For example, in Who, the author mentions the four interviews for spotting a players: The screening interview, The Who Interview, The focused…

  • Blog Post: IPIP Results & Reactions

    Extraversion 80, Agreeableness 74, Conscientiousness 39, Neuroticism 14, and Openness to Experience 45 I agree with these results. I am often considered an extrovert on personality tests so that did not surprise me. I am also not surprised by the agreeableness, growing up in a large family we didn’t have a choice but to get…

  • Blog Post: Typical vs. Maximal Performance

    If I were in the shoes of the business owner, I would want to do a little more background research. For Avery, I would want to know what motivates them to do good work. Considering that they have a high-performance ceiling, I would consider hiring this person because they are able to come through in…

  • Blog Post: Job Descriptions

    It can be difficult for me to reflect on my most recent job because it is a very niche area. To clarify, I am a health-system pharmacy administration and leadership (HSPAL) resident.

Blog Post: Experiences with Discrimination

Looking at the discrimination from an ethnicity, culture, or belief system as the main reason, I would change my opinion on the company.

Ethnicity, culture, or belief systems are systems that can be chosen by each person. In my personal opinion, I believe that every person has a right to choose and nobody has the right to discriminate against their decision. Imagine if I ordered a chai tea latte and I was let go by a company because the manager preferred vanilla lattes and only wanted to work with people who ordered vanilla lattes. This is absurd. I am not expecting anyone else to drink my chai. Anyone can ask about it and I would be willing to talk about it, but your opinion is just that, an opinion. We all sip our own tea.

This would indeed influence my decision to support the company in addition to whether or not I would apply to this company.

I do recognize that it can be a tough situation because some companies may have the best intention, but some employees make it rotten and taint the entire company.

If I had to seriously consider working for the company I would do some heavy research to see if it is a bad apple or a bad tree. If, upon my research, I find that it is a bad apple, I would consider applying. However, if it is a bad tree it is an automatic no.

    Tiana, I appreciate your beverage choice analogy. It’s a simple way of stepping back and looking at this situation at a basic, relatable level. This is a great way to show that everybody has so many differences, down to the way we choose our caffeinated beverage, and being different never warrants discrimination.
