I think an employer can not hire you if you smoke because they may want a person who has a clean record and doesn't do drugs.

I think an employer can not hire you if you are obese, because they want a person who is fast, and if you are obese you might be really slow and might not be able to do much.

Nov 17 2010: Problems

The problems I ran into was finding if the busisnesses were hiring online. Some of the business websites did not have an online application, or I couldn't find out if they did. I couldn't find out what positions they were hiring for. Also, some busibsesses did have requirements listed, and some did not.

We can learn to get people who are hiring. We need to get people who don't require you to apply online. We also need to inform people that these careers are not going to hire you on the spot. These career representatives need to be committed and courteous to the students.

I think I'm going to be able to gain better social skills. I can associate with people, I wouldn't normally associate with and maybe learn something from them and get better acquainted. 

I can add better work skills, and help the less productive people around, to have a better attitude towards working and become more productive.

Strengths

1. Organization
I am very organized, and have great organization skills. I show this work ethic in class, by keeping all my work in order.

2. Typing
I would say that I'm pretty good at typing. I can type fast and I show that when we have typing assignments.

3.  Productive
I am productive, because I get my work done quickly, and I also try my best to get my work done as soon as it assigned.



Weaknesses

1. Although I am fast at typing, i do have some difficulty with accuracy. Sometimes, I don't spell things right. 


2.  I think I would like to work on my social skills. I am sometimes nervous when I talk to new people.

3.  I think I would like to be more patient. I'm not very tolerant with people who don't do work or are too lazy.
