Semi-detached

For the peer reflection project, I interviewed Alexis Dowdell about the time her family adopted her cousin, Rochell. I thought this process was very interesting. Interviewing someone I never spoke to before was new. Even though this was a different experience, I was not nervous or overthinking about the right approach. I felt the right approach to interview Alexis was to be myself. We were both going through the same process, so I knew how it felt being interviewed. I also felt this process was…

Research Reflections: For me, conducting and taking part in interviews has always been a stressful affair. Whether it was for a position on band leadership, part of joining a program, or for one of my classes, interviewing has never been an activity I was confident with. However, while conducting the interviews for this project, it was much more open and much less stressful. Whether it was because I controlled the interview questions, or whether it was because I knew them, I didn’t feel the same…

The use of media is growing and is involved in almost every aspect of life. No individual can escape using social media whether it be in their personal life or work life. For this research my topic is media use and body image. Individuals spend hours using or watching media. I personally spend almost 3-4 hours on social media or watching media. With its growing influence media has the opportunity to influence individuals of all age groups. Whether it be with their political choices, or their…

When interviewing for a job opportunity, many individuals experience anxiety and stress during the process. From personal experience, I can admit that I do not retain the greatest interview skills - I shake uncontrollably, I demonstrate high anxiety levels, and I find it challenging to think on the spot. For me, the questions, themselves, do not represent the stressor, but rather, the stress comes from knowing that the individual in front of me retains the ability to control my future career.…

“Before interviewing occurs, criteria and questions for a structured interview should be developed (Saylor.org, 2012, Pl 144). I feel these are the interview questions that are relevant and should remain. Why did you apply for this job? It’s important to find out why they are applying? Did they just obtain a degree, are they changing jobs, did the last one not make them happy, do they change jobs often? This can lead into the candidate opening up to the interviewer. What do you know about the…

I would like to have better knowledge on the subject of evaluating and interviewing perspective employees. Having often taken part in multiple interviews for new employee evaluations at my company I would like to understand if there is a better or more effective method of interviewing that could potentially make this process better and more effective. We currently use an unstructured process and decisions are made more on gut feeling and interaction abilities rather than on resumes, work…

On October 24, 2016, three students from Virginia Wesleyan College involved themselves in an interview survey that focused on their study preferences and habits. There were five questions asked regarding, where they prefer to study, how do they prefer to study, how often they prefer to study, how frequently they take breaks while studying, and how focused are they while they are studying. Once the candidates responded to the five questions, there was a request for feedback regarding some…

rifles. Pre ban there were machine pistols, but they were already highly restricted. The ban just changed the name to assault pistols and broadened the definition to include semi-automatics with two or more of the following features that also accept detachable magazines: threaded barrel, barrel shroud, an unloaded weight of 50oz, a semi-automatic version of fully automatic pistol, or a magazine that isn’t inserted through the grip. These features just don’t make any sense. Sure the threaded…

Job interviews are the most important step in the challenging course of finding a job. A job interview is often a chance to make a first impression with a company or organization, which can make a huge impact on whether or not one is offered a job. Job interviews also serve as a two-way street for the exchange of information (Joseph). The interview provides a selling opportunity for the organization as well as the candidate (Joseph). The interview allows for one to explain to the company exactly…

worth it. Even if automatic guns are banned, people will still have access to all the other guns, so they can still hunt and protect themselves.There is no reason for someone to have access to a fully automatic machine gun. It’s just not necessary. a semi automat is just as good because it can still be used for self defense, but it is not made for killing many people at once. If there is a federal ban on automatic guns, them less mass shootings will happen and lives will be…
