The Best Days

managers, senior leaders, HR business partners, and recruiters. Best Practices: • Conduct a skills assessment: Conducting a skills assessment allows employers to measure the applicant’s skills on areas of importance to the job they are applying to. This is a best practice because by conducting a skills assessment, employers are able to choose applicants who have the necessary skills for the…

under her breath. She was stuck in her English class with others whom she just simply referred to as imbeciles. It was a slow class that seemed to never end. The clock ticked, but no time passed. A dark room with little color. Skylar can remember the days she enjoyed this class, that’s why she came back. I guess she was happier then...she thought so too. It was two years ago, same class, same teacher, different circumstance. The tables were turned back then. You couldn’t catch Skylar not…

experience in perfect detail. Sara James and I have been best friends every since “baby daycare” at Northland Christian Daycare. Sara is in love with all living animals, especially puppies and kittens. She’s extremely caring and is the kind of friend that would drop all her plans for the day just to spend a couple hours of Mario Kart with me in my…

It was a rather quiet fall day in Marion City. Marion City was a fairly small town. It only had about fifteen hundred people living in it. Everyone that lived there knew each other; one could never run into a stranger. The people who lived in Marion City took pride in their small hometown, and enjoyed every day spent there. Old Man Billy, was the town farmer, and a better father. He had six boys. On this day, however, Charles was setting off on his own life adventure. Old Man Billy made his…

Best Buy uses a business model that does not distinguish between different segments and they will mainly focus on one large group of customers with broadly similar needs and problems, in this case involving technology. Per our textbook, Business Model Generation, “This type of business model is often found in the consumer electronics sector” (Osterwalder and Pigneur 21). “Best Buy has become one of the biggest consumer electronics retailers in the world” (Wilson, “Statistics and facts on Best…

It began as a day like any other. It was a beautiful Saturday; I had spent the entire day cleaning and preparing the yard for visitors. Today was the day that the universally renowned Ixchel was to accompany my friends and I for dinner. I had spent the remainder of my day that wasn’t consumed by either cleaning or yard work preparing a fantastic meal. I served a pork tenderloin covered in a dijon apple glaze, I still remember seeing the steam escaping from the meat and the expressions of ecstasy…

In the ninth grade my best friend attempted suicide. The doctors have no idea how she survived. When she overdosed on hydrocodone and some of her father’s prescription medicines, it had caused severe intestinal bleeding. Nobody knows how she lived from that. I remember going to the hospital to see her when she was in her near death state of being. She looked as if somebody had took a knife, cut an incision in her, and just let her blood drain out from her limp body. I was afraid to hug her. I…

An Important Person to Me I met Amanda during my first day of my high school, and she caught my attention. She has twinkling eyes and her long black hair lies back in curls from her delicate ears. An idea came out from my brain that: I want to make friend with her. And then, naturally, we became best friends. In the rest of our high school life, we spent a long time accompanying with each other and shared our experience, our memories, and our lives no matter it was good or not. According to our…

designing the inner workings of the plant. Jan Knau, an engineer, was only 27 when he was asked to come up with a flexible assembly line for the factory. Knau, then just a junior associate, contacted BMW’s top 15 assembly engineers. He invited them to a two-day workshop at a BMW retreat near the Austrian Alps. After a series of marathon sessions that included discussions of every facet of the ideal assembly line, Knau sketched a design with four “fingers,” or branches, off the main spine. The…

at that moment I didn’t realize that soon would mean the next day when I’m watching Rocket Power and eating my Frosted Flakes. It really sucked because before he used to help me do my math homework at night and after play a round of NASCAR on the PlayStation. As a result, I was stuck watching the Lifetime channel or The Oprah Show with my mom every night. I never really realized how boring that lady was until I had to watch her every day. Don’t get me wrong, she is an amazing person, but for a…
