Article on Today's Interviews

The article was very interesting. Reading about how companies and firms are picky when it comes to interviewing people. The risks employers are willing to take are crazy. Companies are willing to lose several good workers just to avoid one unpleasing worker. Employers are starting to be really picky during interviews making them last for a whole day. Employers are really trying to crack down into the applicant to figure out the person’s personalities and to see truly what type of person they are going to bring into their environment. It really all comes down to your personality and your people’s skills. The article mention how employers can teach employees technical skills but when cannot be learned is people’s personalities. I enjoyed reading the article very much, it will help me prepare for my future interviews.

Dual Code Theory

I was up one night watching the TV, and I saw a commercial on a truck. What caught my attention during the commercial was not the truck but the beautiful sexy girl beside it. I realized at that moment, the company of the truck was using a female model to increase the attraction of the car towards that public. This was a cause of dual code theory. When a company uses more then one subject to advertise a product. We see this all the times, in magazines, TV commercials, ect. The commercial I saw was in Spanish, it was a Chevy truck and next to it was a model girl just posing. Somehow for a moment I thought to myself if only I had that truck I could get that girl….lol.

working in a group!!!

Working in a group has its pros and cons. I kind of like the idea about working in a group, because it forces a person to listen to other persons prespective views on a project. As one professor always said 1+1=3 implicating that if 2 students collaborated in a project together they should develop the amont of work as if it was 3 students. The experience i have had in my Eng 304 group was not to a good start. We had a group of 4 members but their was a lack of communication on all 4 members not just 3. So one of our member decide to join a group which had 5 member already making it 6 total memebers and we were left with 3. But the good thing about this is that the 3 of us have been meeting together and been working pretty effectively together. I guess in the end Angie like you said during my interview, "sometimes things fall apart but then they come together and work out even better"
