Interview 1:

1. Her favorite pair of jeans are made by Rockin’ Revival. She likes them because they have a lot for detailing (very thick, typically vibrant stitching) which she finds to be both fun and less work because she does not have to accessorize. 2. Some challenges run into while jeans shopping would be dealing with her “motherly shape”, which says is a little bit of tummy (so fitting in the waist), as well as fitting in the butt which also bigger. 3. Levi’s were the classic brand from when I was younger, so I own a lot of pairs of those from my 20’s and early 30’s however they do not fit the mommy shape. Because they no longer cater towards her size she started to look at other brands and found that Rockin’ Republic made jeans that fit her “bigger areas” perfectly. 4. Nordstrom Rack, Buckle and Maurice’s are her favorite stores. Because they both carry the brand and style of jeans that she likes (thick stitching kind of glamy jeans). Plus, Nordstrom has some great jean sales and Nordstrom Rack carries discounted brands. 5. Light wash boot cut Silver jeans which fit all of her jean requirements, such as accommodating her larger waist but still fits snugly on the thighs. And a pair of dark cobalt blue flare legged jeans from Maurices that also have detailing (i.e. bedazzling) and very comfy for everyday wear. 6. The ones from Maurcies were $30, while the silver jeans were about $65. Yes it is typical for her, she typically spends no more than $120, but the average is about $65 to $85. 7. Her top three requirements are fitting both the waist, but and thighs since those parts are not in proportion to each other, they must also have fun detailing and be a flared leg because she finds that to be more age appropriate. 8. When choosing jeans for the work place, and when choosing jeans for home what do you look for? At her salon (she’s a hairdresser) she has a very lax dress code plus the apron hides most of her jeans so can wear her Rockin’ Republics or Silver jeans because they are comfy and allow for easy movement around the salon. And when looking for jeans to wear around the house, she looks for a softer material that is movable for cleaning and comfy to lounge in.

Interview 2:

1. Her favorite pair of jeans are from the brand Red Engine, they are a medium wash and are bootcut. She’s had the jeans for about ten years and they haven’t faded, but they have turned very soft making them great for casual days. They also fit perfectly in the waist and her “pancake butt” which it’s hard to find since catering to both areas isn’t always easy. 2. She finds that she is “awkwardly” shaped which means she struggles to find pants that don’t cater towards the hourglass shape, she finds her shape to be more comparable to a “toilet paper tube” meaning it has to fit in both the hips and thighs. My mom is also really short so she can never find jeans that are her length even when shopping in both shorts and petites. 3. She hasn’t worn a pair of American Eagle jeans recently because they’re slightly too long, which she normally just fixes by rolling the hem but because they are bootcut she cannot even roll them because they look bad. 4. She normally heads to Nordstrom for jeans because they carry a wide variety of brands and styles, especially the brands that she likes. They also carry a lot of petite sizes, as well as jeans that are supposed to be “ankle jeans’ that fit her regularly. 5. Her most recent two purchase would be a pair from Joes jeans which she purchased from Nordstrom and they are a skinny jean that is a light wash, and a little fading on the upper thighs. She loves that they never stretch out even if worn for a couple of days straight. The other ones are a black straight leg that are kind of stretchy and are the brand Treasure and Bond which can be found at Nordstrom. However, she’s not a huge fan of these because they stretch out too much. When jean shopping she does not always purchase name brand jeans or if she does she waits long periods of times. 6. The Joes were $76.90 on sale and the Treasure and Bond were $60. She considers the Joes and splurge while the Treasure and Bond were typically what she spends on jeans. Her price range is about $60 unless she knows and trusts the brand, or if the jean caters perfectly to her “difficult” shape. 7. When purchasing jeans, they must fit in length without alterations, or can be altered easy because she is 5’2”. The distressing on the jeans must also be proportional to her height because sometime the fading will be really off on jeans because she is short, and lastly the jeans must fit in the waist and hips because of her “toilet paper shape”. 8. My mom is a teacher so during the week when she is wearing jeans she tries to wear pants with minimal distressing and fading, except for on Fridays. She also likes to wear corduroys to work because they put a nice spin on the regular jean.

Interview 3: 1. Her favorite jeans are from American eagle and she loves them because of the fit, which is important because she carries a little weight in the stomach, so when jeans are too low or, too tight they tend to accentuate the area. They also look good on the butt and are comfy. 2. She struggles finding jeans that are not too tight in the thighs, but thighs but are also not too loose in the waist. She’s also found that because it’ been on trend amongst the younger people to wear high waisted jeans, as a result it’s either high wasited jeans or really low rise which is not flattering on her shape. She’s also 5’4” which means she falls between being a regular in jean length and being a short, regulars are too long, but short is too short. 3. Her Eddie Bauer jeans have not been worn recently because the seam is crooked and the legs get too stretched out when worn so they never fit right. However, the flare on the bottom is too small to look proportional to the baggy thighs. 4. Seven for all Mankind because they are good quality and can be found at most retailers. They’re also more expensive so they typically last longer than a pair of cheaper jeans from the junior’s department or American Eagle. 5. She bought a pair from Nordstrom, and another pair from American Eagle, both pairs were a dark wash and straight leg which is typical of her jean choices. These are both her typical jean purchases, the dark is more flattering and the skinnier straight leg is more on trend. 6. Nordstrom: Seven for all Mankind $140 and $45 for the American Eagle jeans. She likes to purchase jeans on sale because she does not feel that it’s always worthy of the prices because of how fast jeans tend to wear out, however she’s found that Seven for all Mankind has a particularly high level of longevity compared to other brands. 7. Her top three things are, fit because sometimes things are too low rise which gives her a muffin top which is unflattering and uncomfortable; the second is quality, if the jeans are more expensive then they need to last a long time so that she not constantly repurchasing the jeans which in the long run will save money; and lastly the brand, certain brands just fit her body perfectly, and also last longer than others. 8. When choosing jeans for the work place she likes to look for ones that are fitted and not slouchy, as well as not being distressed. While, when shopping for weekend or around the house she looks for comfier, softer fabrics that allow lounging and movement.

They attend a special university called “Hamburger University.” Founded in 1961 by the former McDonald’s Senior Chairman Fred Turner and Ray Kroc’s first grillman, it was from humble beginnings in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, in the basement of a McDonald’s, where the university first originated. Ray Kroc explained his reasons for opening Hamburger University by saying: “If we are going to go anywhere, we’ve got to have talent. And, I’m going to put my money in talent.” Hamburger University continues to promote that philosophy, everyday. The curriculum itself is very diverse, and it is delivered by 19 full-time professors with restaurant operations expertise from all over the world.

One in five people who resign from their roles do so because of a lack of opportunities within their company. Most people have some type of goal or aspiration they hope to reach in their future. If employees see that they have no chance to advance within the organization then they may be willing to find another job where they can excel and move up the ladder. It is important to have a formal approach to succession planning because every organization will have some type of job open up in the future and it keeps organizations from losing key employees. Without career planning, an organization is likely to encounter the highest rate of attrition, causing much harm to their plans and programmers. Similarly without succession planning managing of vacancies, particularly at higher levels becomes difficult. 2. List the various features of HRM. HRM (Human resource management) focuses on an organization's most important assets, which are its employees. HRM actually refers to the processes that are involved with managing all of the people in the business, which includes employing and training employees, but also refers to monitoring their progress and rewarding them for their performance.
