This internship opportunity encompasses tasks such as; Operations Management, Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and human resources. It is through this exposure that the individual that obtains the position will experience an overall perspective of how a business functions. The idea about this paper is created for the intended purposes of providing an honest reflection of our thoughts about the interview. During the interview, I felt a tad nervous about the camera being pointed at me, it was in the interview that I had felt a certain unease about myself. This uneasiness was not only caused by tension of a camera pointed, but underlying factors that reflected moderate anxiety. As I left the interview, I had been confident that it had gone well, but recognized some minor facial expressions that I might have had made. When I viewed the video, I had noticed the facial expressions that I had made. In the...

...Reflections on Individual Assignment 1 This document provides examples of student critiques prepared for individual assignment 1. I have selected examples of satisfactory and unsatisfactory critiques supplemented by some comments. Hopefully this will assist in preparing for the second individual assignment and the final exam. 1. Literature review (objectives and motives) Satisfactory critique Critique: Jones and Solomon (2010) do not explicitly mention the aim of their research, but rather refer to the nature of the research. This is not seen as a weak point as the authors make use of grounded theory in their study. The authors do however identify their motivation of conducting this research quite well by stating: “However, to our knowledge, there has been little research (...)” (pp. 21). Furthermore, the authors link their motives to prior research by stating that there has been a lack of interview-based work in prior research (Ball et al, 2000; Deegan et al, 2006; O’Dwyer and Owen, 2005). I do see this link as a strong point in contrast to the objective of this article. The objective of this article is not clearly formulated. The authors mention: “We address the fundamental question on (...)” (p.21). However, immediately afterwards they state: “In addition, we shed light on several important questions such as (...)” (p.21). These additions are not related to previously identified questions by the authors but to the themes that derived from the interviews in this study. Therefore...

...1 Purpose of Interpersonal Skills In Effective Performance Appraisal 1.0 INTRODUCTION When asked what is Interpersonal skills, the answers quite straight forward, people interacting with other people, that's what interpersonal skill means. We all start doing it from the moment we're born. And if all goes well as we grow up, we get more skilled at communicating our wants and needs, our feelings and thoughts. We also learn to interpret other people’s feelings in turn, so that in adulthood we are aware of how our behavior impacts on others. People with good interpersonal skills are easy to be around. They tend to connect with other people effortlessly, they seem to know the right things to say and they make communication in general an easy process. Interpersonal skills are one of those things that we really notice when someone lacks it. When we're in new or awkward situations or when we imagine that there are rules of behavior that everyone else seems to know but us. Mastering interpersonal skills is very essential in today’s globalized business world. As communication is the corners stones of modern business, how are we supposed to survive and thrive when we can’t communicate with our peers? Interpersonal skills are not only required for running a business but also one of the key components of performance appraisal. If any of the two parties in performance appraisal namely, appraiser or appraisee lack interpersonal skills the appraisal will not be effective. If the appraiser...

...Interview (20% of course grade) – Students will conduct one interview, for a 10 minute class presentation-- face-to-face or by phone with a pastor, staff member, or leader from a local church or Christian organization other than their own. Select someone who has (a) 5 to 10, or (b) 10 plus years of experience in training others for ministry. Students are expected to report findings relating key concepts in the course textbooks. If possible, record the interview so you have some direct quotes for your paper. Presentations will be timed at 10 to 15 minutes each including questions and answers; time limit will be based on the number of presentations. A few interview questions you might use to guide the interview are as follows: Feel free to create your own, yet these will give you a start. * For what areas of ministry do you provide training? * What do you look for in a leader and why? (i.e., competencies, character, etc.) * How do you assess what a leader needs in terms of training? * What strategies or structures do you have in place or use for leadership training? Be sure to ask ‘probing type’ follow-up questions in your interview to clarify and expand your understanding of their equipping ministry; such as: give me an example, why would you say this, why did you select this training venue over others, etc. Don’t limit yourself to your interview guide, but ‘dig deeper’ to gain a broader perspective of their equipping process and why they’ve...

...Research Strategy & Project Plan 10 Problems Faced and Learning: 10 Learned Time Management Skills and Reflection Skills: 11 New Learning during the Research Project: Reviewing a Case Study 11 Conclusion from the Case study 13 My Reflections on the Research Questions: 13 References 14 Abstract The point addressed in this research document is the Importance of Planning and Reflection Skills at Postgraduate Level and also an assumption that post graduate students acquire planning and critical reflection skills automatically during their post graduate studies. Planning, critical thinking and reflecting are the pillars of the postgraduate study, managerial work and continuing professional development (CPD). “It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience it may quickly be forgotten, or its learning potential lost. It is from the feelings and thoughts emerging from this reflection that generalizations or concepts can be generated. And it is generalizations that allow new situations to be tackled effectively.” (Gibbs 1988) Reflection is a key element in any successful planning. You are probably a successful graduate and already have many of the skills required for postgraduate study. But there are some skills that assessed more stringently at postgraduate level, like planning and reflection skills.
