...Interview of the Oppressed Individual Introduction For centuries women has played the role of being the “underdog”; they have had to deal with being treated unequally in all respects. These women are being discriminated against based on their gender, this is known as sexism. Not only are women victims of sexism, but they are also victims of systematic discrimination, known as oppression. In the past, women were not known for their value as human beings and contributions to society as a whole; instead, they were confined to the home and valued for the children they could bear and reduced to the property of their husbands. Although women’s oppression has changed throughout time, it still remains a constant issue in today’s society. Black Woman in Cooperate America Ms. Boyd is a Transition Assistant Manager at Allstate Insurance Company. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in English which helps her to adhere to her job description.

...After beginning the process of construction, he was faced with the next task of hiring employees to staff the four ice cream shops. Throughout his calculations, he estimated he would need a total of 50 employees to staff the four shops, but he did not have any knowledge in how to select the right 50 individuals to hire. Randy asked for the advice of both his friend Mary, a business owner of a lunch counter at the airport and of Ray Higgins, a previous professor who taught Randy HR management while getting his business degree. They both suggested interviews and a work sample test that would include hands on demonstration of scooping ice cream and serving it. In his estimations, Randy figured it would cost around $100 to interview an applicant and $150 per applicant to perform the work sample test. Professor Higgins informed Randy that the validity of the interview is r = .30 and the validity of the work sample is r = .50. If the selection ratio is .50, then the average score on the selection measure of those applicants selected is z = .80 (Heneman, Judge, Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012, pg. 572). For the applicants selected for the job, Randy will pay them $6 per hour, which would come to a total salary of $12,000. How much money would Randy save using each selection method?

...Claudia Gordon states in the end of the interview that “You control your life” she says that her life and experiences are proof of that. Claudia became deaf when she was eight years old. From my perspective that would be devastating to have been living her entire life hearing and to all of a sudden not be able to experience that. To make things worse she was pulled out of school for two years making it difficult for her to interact and connect with her peers. However, even though when she moved to the United States and was informed that her hearing could not be repaired she persevered. She moved on and then began to learn ASL so that she could communicate with the Deaf community. In the interview she discusses how she is drawn to people who...

...Educational institutions have a responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study in which they are unlikely to succeed. Write a response in which you discuss to the extent you agree or disagree with the statement and explain the reason for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. Educational institutions are to provide quality education, assess the students’ performances and thereby they recognize where they are lacking behind. Later on they take up the responsibility to guide them where they need to improve and what support can be provided by the institution. This is the actual role of any institution. Dissuading the students in the fields where they are unlikely to succeed is far from their responsibilities because any student’s actual capacity cannot be known just by the marks they score or their performance at assessments. So they cannot judge clearly whether the student can succeed or not. Secondly, Universities are nowadays conducting a lot of entrance exams and screening interviews where they actually judge if a student can succeed in the course or not. Consider if a student is rejected by one university he doesn’t totally stop trying in the career, he just moves to another university or try writing the exam again next year. So this shows the students’ perseverance and also even if the educational...

...the 1000x variation in outcomes that one finds in startup investing. That yields all sorts of strange consequences. For example, in purely financial terms, there is probably at most one company in each YC batch that will have a significant effect on our returns, and the rest are just a cost of doing business. [1] I haven't really assimilated that fact, partly because it's so counterintuitive, and partly because we're not doing this just for financial reasons; YC would be a pretty lonely place if we only had one company per batch. And yet it's true. To succeed in a domain that violates your intuitions, you need to be able to turn them off the way a pilot does when flying through clouds. [2] You need to do what you know intellectually to be right, even though it feels wrong. It's a constant battle for us. It's hard to make ourselves take enough risks. When you interview a startup and think "they seem likely to succeed," it's hard not to fund them. And yet, financially at least, there is only one kind of success: they're either going to be...

...: Fay asks Jerry for advice on how to succeed at a job interview in English Fay: Hi Jerry. I'm thinking of applying for a job with a multinational company, but I'm worried about having an interview in English. Can you give me any good tips? Jerry: Hmmm. That's a tough one. I guess the first thing is to try to make a good impression. We often say, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression". You really need to get off to a good start. Fay: That sounds like good advice. Maybe I could sing and dance for them, ha ha ha! Then they'd really be impressed! But seriously, how do I make a good first impression? Jerry: To begin with, you should firmly shake the interviewer's hand while greeting him or her with a smile. Be sure to keep eye contact, especially when listening to the interviewer. Fay: Ah, "body language" is really important, isn't it? Jerry: Yes, it is. The second thing is to have confidence. You get confidence from being prepared. You should learn a little bit about the company before the interview. Find out what they do, how long they've been in business, what their business motto is, that kind of thing. You should also anticipate possible questions, and think about how you will answer. Fay: Should I memorize my answers beforehand? Jerry: No! Definitely not! That sounds very mechanical. You should be natural when you speak. Just think about how you want to answer, and choose the right words at the time of the interview. That way, you can use the interviewer's...
