...MN Real Estate Service Corporation Talent Management MN Real Estate Service Corporation “Success in business is all about patience and hard work and working hard will be easy if you have a vision, clear goals, and are passionate with what you do” (Isidro, 2012). MRESC needs to get a vision and clear goals in their company to really strive in the coming years. Having a successful business is hard and managing that business is even harder. Some people can argue it would be their product or service, but ultimately it’s a company’s employees that propel a business forward. Hiring and retaining people depends on a number of things and once a company reaches a certain point they will have to expand to accommodate new people. Growth for any business or company or business is a good thing, however growth can cause a number of problems. “Physical expansion isn't always the best growth answer without careful research, planning and number-planning” (Spaeder, 2004). Minnesota House Real Estate Corporation (MRESC) has been steadily growing over the past 20 years and it’s now at a point when there need to be some significant changes made. Located in Minnesota they have been providing a service to just Minnesota but as new requests for their service come in they might have to expand to the neighboring states as well as moving to a more central location. Making a physical move with a business can be tricky in any situation but there are things that the management team needs...

...quadratic formula and George Washington to Barack Obama. My education has improved tremendously. We had about 15 people per classroom and it was more girls than guys I would say. Throughout grade school which being from kindergarten to the fifth grade, we were a diverse school. We had a couple gay guys, a few blacks, a couple Mexicans, and whites. This didn’t really affect me in anyway because I truly believe everyone is created equally. Having people being different didn’t affect my school. School is school, and only you can have a good or bad experience. The grading was on an easy scale which gave a wide range for an A and B and so forth. We had strict rules that basically if you didn’t do your homework you would receive a 0. Teachers had the power to do whatever they wanted with the homework and punishment. When I say punishment I don’t mean out of control, but if you miss taking a test and don’t make it up, you usually get sent to the principal’s office to take it. I had no trouble in the school with anything. I went along the day doing my own thing and minded my own business. In middle school the teachers were very on task. I think that’s because you are getting used to the fact that you’re in middle school for three years and then off to high school. Grading in middle school was way easy. We had A+ and D-, not this A, B, and C stuff. Teachers made school very hard I guess to me. It’s not like you could just go and ask for the answer like in grade school. You had to work,...

When you are able to fulfill your goal of finishing your college education it makes looking to the future a little easier.

When you think about college and a career you want to choose a career that will bring you joy and that will never seem like you are tired. Some of us think that earning lot of money is the most important thing when choosing a career. It’s not, being able to enjoy what you do will make life easier and seem as if you are not working but doing a hobby. Remembering back at my high school days a teacher told us to find something we are good at and enjoy and make a career out of it. I am learning the importance of not picking a career that has the highest earning potential because it could be a job that I am miserable. Choosing something you love will never feel like work. When a person finish college and obtain a degree they are more than likely able to earn more money than a high school or GED graduate...

...Human beings as a whole have always been driven towards living comfortably. In today’s society, people are more oriented towards living a more comfortable lifestyle than ever before. Since a child requires the proper attention and affection for a healthy development, a family’s living circumstances in North America has become substantially and increasingly more comfortable, at least for the wealthy class. This has caused the transition from childhood to adulthood to become an extended period of adolescence. Individuals have been remaining emotionally and financially dependent on their parents up until their late twenties, and some even longer. Although John Rosemond had said, “the primary purpose of raising a child is to help that child get out of your life and into a life of its own,” it is proven that wealthier parents may create an easier living situation, involving less work for a for a young adult, which causes them to choose to stay living at home for a longer time period. When considering the reasons why an adult would return home after already leaving, or make the decision not to leave in the first place, it is important to recognize factors that have changed throughout history and time. In the past, a functionalist would argue that separation of youth from parents was a practical solution due to high rates of infant mortality and childhood illness; this led to nearly half of the population of children to die before the age of twenty. It was a necessity for parents to...

...without having mastered this critical skill. To succeed in school, you need to learn how to listen actively and take accurate, thorough lecture notes. 3. Poor Time Management Skills. Many college students are overwhelmed with multiple academic and other responsibilities, so learning to manage your time is essential. 4. Last Minute Work. If you write a paper at the last minute, it shows. If you try to do the reading at the last minute for the test that's tomorrow, you're unlikely to do well on the test. While it may be impossible to completely avoid the experience of pulling an all-nighter, do the best you can to keep up with the work on the syllabus. 5. Procrastination. Of course, the issue of last minute work is related to procrastination. Learning to stay focused is a skill, especially with so many distractions like Facebook and video games around campus. 6. Failure to Read Directions. If your instructor hands you a detailed description of how to write an assignment, read the description very carefully and follow directions. If you have any questions, ask the instructor, and if he or she goes over the assignment in class, listen carefully and take notes. It's plenty frustrating to work hard on assignment and receive a low grade because you failed to follow instructions. 7. Over-reliance on Other Students. Asking a friend to take notes for you when you're absent is a risk you should only take when absolutely necessary. And study groups can be an effective way to...

...Any design in architecture has some communication behind it; even if the architect came up with a drawing without following a particular concept the end product will have an impact on the people who get to see it. Anytime you see a building you tend to relate it with something you have seen or experienced in life, that is what makes buildings remain in our memory for a long time. It is a natural characteristic in any piece of architecture which makes is hard to explain but nonetheless the best gift architects have. There are not many fields that give an opportunity to people to speak out their emotions, their thoughts and even take out their frustration in their work and it is still considered a masterpiece. In architecture there is unlimited space for thought, there is nothing as a bad idea or concept so long as you’re able to communicate it through your drawing. That is what makes architecture special. Most of the best drawings and buildings involve concepts which were derived in the most unfortunate situation and emotions. They speak about events which one would consider very emotional yet they are the one which end up producing the best buildings. That is the main reason that lovers of art end up following in love with architecture, where as some people would fail to get the deeper connection within a piece of art those who take their time to do research in deep about each masterpiece and the reason to why the artist decided to use certain lines or features…you get to travel...

Communicating with elderly, disable patients can be difficult and also a hassle. Patients who cannot hear can and cannot be difficult. Writing the information down on a piece of paper would be a helpful...

...Serial Killer Psychology By Anna Davis Criminal psychology refers to the study of the mental and behavioral characteristics of people who break laws established by local, state, national or international governments. Some criminal, or forensic, psychologists focus their research on serial killers -- men and women who murder a large number of people over an extended period of time — typically months or years. What constitutes a serial killer is open to interpretation. In the United States, Congress has defined a serial killer as someone who murders a minimum of three or more people. By definition, a cooling-off period separates the murders, making them appear random or unconnected. The victims — often prostitutes, runaways or other vulnerable populations — rarely know their killer and may serve as a symbol that triggers the attack. In other words, a serial killer's motive tends to be psychological, not material. Understanding what goes on — or gets turned off — in a serial killer's mind is the ultimate goal of scientists who specialize in this area of psychology. You might think the field is relatively new, but it dates back to at least the 19th century, when psychologists tried to develop a profile of the mysterious and elusive Jack the Ripper. Antisocial Personality Disorder vs. Psychopathy Mental health professionals use the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), developed by the American Psychiatric Association, to understand the illnesses...

...already knew, but did gain some new insight into myself and why I am the way that I am, and that my personality can be great in some situations and very hard in other situations for people to deal with. I’m going to break it down according to the assignment assessment. 1.) What did the assessments tell me about myself? Attitude? Work? Behavior? Personality? Perception? Attitude: I’m sensible, the backbone of any group, and believe that work comes before play. This is truly me!! I’m the one that goes in early to work and stays late to make sure that things get done, and are done on time. People know that they can depend on me. I’m the person with sticky notes on my desk and computer, so that I remember that I need to do this at a certain time, or remind my boss of a particular appointment. They know they can count on me. Work: I’m a planner, well organized, and dependable. This too, fits me like a shoe! I’m the one that two weeks before a mass mailing will be ordering in extra labels, tape, and updating mailing lists. I like to have my envelopes ready, so that all I have to do is insert and tape. I look ahead and what is coming down the road and plan my work and time accordingly. Behavior: I learned that I’m punctual, responsible, energetic, ambitious, and I have a strong sense of right and wrong. This is me to a T! I hate it when people walk into work late, or show-up for a meeting late. I still believe that people should put in a day’s work...
