Public Works Administration

“Leveraging Micro Funds Challenge” was a very beneficial multi part assignment. It allowed for each group to think abstractly on how to fundraise money with very little capital. It was a great way for someone to understand their role when it comes to group work. Throughout this reflection I will touch on; the skills that I bring and my role in the group, what we could have done better, and my overall learning experience. My group decided to do professional headshots for our leveraging micro…

other people’s opinions. You may have your photo edited by a professional, or you may take the time to learn how to do it yourself. Ideally, if you have a great photo, it shouldn’t need a massive amount of editing. The harder you work to get a good picture, the less work you will have to do with Photoshopping software. Take a lot of time taking your photo, and spend time learning how to Photoshop so that you may improve your photo before you add it to your LinkedIn profile. Here are is an…

go give him a hand instead of my younger brother – he is uncomfortable with heights and my dad just happened to be dealing with work in high places. The first time, I walked in behind my dad and almost everyone I passed had to do a double-take. I did not have anything overly eye catching on; my ponytail through a ball cap, old clothes I could get dirty, and my pink work boots. (Maybe it was it was the colour of my boots.) I felt like I was on display in a window and passers-by could stare at me…

needed something to refresh the bad environment and atmosphere. I expected the new co-worker would be able to be a good opportunity to make a good environment. I remember the day when I met him and other freshmen in the restaurant. I told him the work life in our team would be hard, and he seemed to be anxious about it. During the welcome party, he asked the workload of our team and confessed his worry to my co-worker who worked with me in the same team. The co-worker uttered a strong warning…

Diversity in the work force is very important in today’s society. Having a diverse workplace can open up new ideas and competitiveness. One of the biggest leading global companies in diversity is Xerox. Xerox has been around for many years and the culture continues to evolve with different people through their work and dedication for Xerox products (Uhl-Bien, M., Schermerhorn, J. R., & Osborn, R. N. 2014). . In this case study diversity leads the way and Xerox is the most admired company in…

developed my problem-solving skills through my previous work experiences. Nothing ever runs exactly as it should, and that was particularly evident when I worked for Kohler on the assembly line. A job that should have been as simple as repeatedly doing the same task turned into a constant problem-solving battle involving missing parts and part numbers, old equipment, and sometimes difficult employees. These issues gave me numerous opportunities to work with those around me to find out what…

understanding and appreciating a piece of work is often quite difficult without the back-story. Not only does context place the work in time, but also allows us as viewers to further relate our own experiences to what the artist is trying to say. This process of obtaining context through research therefore allows for a deeper appreciation of the given work despite our initial assumptions and bias. My process for understanding a work of art, like many, starts with the work itself. Things such as…

Dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres. The people we surround ourselves with on a daily basis are the ones that reflect what type of person we are. With our company, it is easy for people to judge the characteristics of those around us, and assume we those same qualities it is important that we are able to be surrounded by people who bring positive influence to make the right decisions in life, and so that others will not think poorly of us. Basically, the people one surrounds…

being deluded. Throughout King Lear and Snow Falling on Cedars, characters undergo a series of events where they experience the negative impacts of their wrongful decisions, but later encounter overall growth as human beings. Throughout the literary works, various forces act in ways where their power to overwhelm an individual causes a waste in human potential. As a result, characters refrain from taking action, a storm occurs causing characters to introspect, and characters commit reprehensible…

Each individual’s daily life is completely different, maybe some of them full of activities, some of them may be more relaxed and others more stressful, some people may take healthier decision than others; what it is completely true is that every person has a unique story to tell. Everyday minutes run and we keep following the sense of our occupations, but let’s pretend you could stop time just for one short moment, would you be enough brave to see and accept your mistakes and change something…
