EOC:This Charming Man

Today in class we watched a Danish movie called This Charming Man, this movie was basically about a danish man trying to find a job, he was out of work for about 2 years and he wants to start working again, but he started at a bad time, no one was really hiring, well at the banks anyways, and when he went to an HR office they got his paper work mixed up and placed him in a learning danish class. "HR policies must be supported by procedures that, when followed, ensure the fair and consistent application of the policy.(pg 66, Human Resources Management)" when the man character was trying to make everything correct again, trying to let the HR office for jobs know what happened they kept blowing him off, and passing him around to different people because of his last name, he wasn't Danish. (discrimination #1) "Discrimination on the basis of “national origin” is clearly prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.(pg 68, Hume Resources Management)" Imagine if you were put into that situation, and if you think about it we all have. For instance when we call a number and they just keep passing us around and keep transferring us to different people, and no one will actually sit and talk to us, that is another way of discrimination. No one is really wanting to spend the time to actually sit and talk to you because you don't know what it is exactly you want. Now if you are the opposite, and you call a number and you know EXACTLY what you want and you tell them you want this and refuse to be transferred back and forth then they will help you because they see  you being worthy of it. "Experienced HR managers agree that determining exactly which 9091employment-related records to keep, and for how long, is one of their most essential tasks.(pg 91, Human Resources Management)" To deny someone help just because of their name or they don't seem to know what the hell they are wanting from you is an example of discrimination. Now even though this movie had a lot of examples and issues of discrimination, the phone passing one is what got to me the most, because I myself have experienced this before and trust me its not a good feeling, not feeling worthy or important enough to have someone actually take the time and talk to you .

EOC Week Two: Sweet Charity

What did she do right and What did she do wrong? in this movie the main character doesn't wish to be a taxi dancer anymore, she wants to be someone do something better then that, so she gets dressed up with you black knee high skirt, black tights, a poka dot blouse under her black sweater, and her green grandma cardigan, and goes into a employment office looking for the job.
"Those are the best odds I ever had. " (Shirley Mclaine playing Chairty Valentine)
 Now when she went to go talk to the guy for a job she was nervous and that is okay, when he started talking to her he was asking what kind of experience she has had, and she kept denying any kind of experience that can require her to work in an office. The things she did wrong was beg for a job and cry in front of the guy, she also tried to hard (by the way she dressed) and the things that she did correct was she went out there and tried, even though she got knocked down, and the fact that she never said anything negative about what she does. When going into any kind of interview,meeting or corporate setting you never want to give any kind of negative energy, and Ms. Valentine did a good job at that.

EOC: MY VOICE

I am a professional in the Fashion Industry. Fashion is more than the clothes you wear on your back, its a form of expression, and I am expecting myself to show my expression through special events. The reason why I choice to do study Fashion, is that there is a wide range of concepts you can do, and can gain the experience in from every angle of this industry. I have been truly blessed with gaining the knowledge of fashion in different departments. Event Specialist, is one of my biggest passion, it took me a while to figure it out, but I always loved the Glamorous events I would see on T.V. and always wanted to plan every party we had. Its a challenge, that I am willing to accept, and love every second

EOC WEEK ONE: BEST AND WORST JOBS

          The strategies used to manage human resources can affect the business by how they are Run Company and their employees, yes some companies feel like they have to treat their employees in an unhealthy manner and some companies want their employees to be happy when they go to work. This helps me explain my experiences with my jobs that I have had or am in now. Both of the jobs I have done are within retail. Let’s define them by X and Y. My first job ever was job X and I didn’t know what to expect, the first 2 weeks were really good, then as the time kept going, I was just stressed with working there and going to school. They would have me be there over 10 hours, with only one break, and sometimes if I were to close (which would be about 75% of the time) we wouldn’t leave the store until 3 in the morning the next day, then I would have to be back at work by 9 am. So you can say they worked me to the max. There was also something that I didn’t quite understand about Job X and why they would always have all of the employees clock out at midnight and then clock back in after it. Until I asked my parents, and they just mentioned how it was a way to get the company to get out of giving their employees time in a half. RIP OFF. I know, I was so mad when I found out this happened. So I really wanted to find a better job that would appreciate my hard work I do. I was literally over stressing myself for this job and they didn’t event seem to appreciate anything that I do.  If I were to talk to the management of this company I would tell them that they have all their employees working like slaves and they don’t even care, this company is literally in my opinion ONE OF THE WORST companies to ever work for.  Now that I have moved on, and at job Y now, I am more satisfied with it. I’m not stressed out, or overworking when I really don’t have to. I get good hours, and I love going to work, and this place actually appreciates me, and helps me get to a better position. To me that is all about the management of the company which included HR, in the book, they have a quote, “Regardless of the industry segment in which they work, most employees have the same basic wants and needs.” (Page 7) and to be honest that is true. Now and days no one wants to be working for a company who doesn’t appreciate them, then they will never want to go to work, or the biggest issue they won’t enjoy as much as they wish they did, they are just there because it pays them and they can’t seem to find anything else.  Also, benefits is a need and must have to those who are full time, if there is no bit of any kind of benefits then they will have a hard time putting a team together. HR, is a very crucial department, they basically set all the rules for the worldwide business and hope there are no issues and people will agree and feel good with what they are set.
