I was on the side saying that Employers have the right not hire because you smoke.
I think we won,because we presented our issues and had reasons why we think we are right.

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.

November 15 2010 Journal Entry

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.

Job Expo Summary

This article is about how thousands of people went to a Job expo at the Civic Center , and it was one of largest job expos in Texas. last year 5,674 job hunters showed up last year, and 10,000 people showed up this year. Retailers, manufactures, call centers, school districts, and people from Fort Bliss participated and were exhibitors at the expo.  Interview people said that they went to every booth and  said that with the horrible economy, it was hard to find jobs. Also, it was difficult to find jobs that met their skills.  Although, people are glad that they found good jobs.

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.

Event List (2)

I would like to participate in Payroll Accounting, because I do have some experience in Payroll.
 I would also like to do a Digital Media Production, because it sounds interesting

BPA Meeting

During the meeting we need to explain to people what BPA is all about.
To be in BPA I think these are the requirements we need to have:

*Can not be failing
*Have to have good behavior
*Need to have some experience wiht computers

During the meeting we also need to talk to the students about what we do in BPA, like events and competing.

I expect to be working in business or business related careers.  I expect to work with computers and get certified in things. I think BPA teaches you about social skills, technology, and professional skills. 

Event Evaluation

Good

I thought that we had a decent number of participants.I thought the participants were friendly and I'm glad people came up and talked to them. I also liked how they had free stuff.I really liked how they were kind of persuading people to get interested in their careers.

Bad

I didn't like that the participants were leaving early. I also didn't like that the participants were on their cell phones constantly. Some of the participants were very quiet at some points. I didn't like how some of the participants looked very bored, and like they didn't want to be at the expo.

Different

I would have called the participants and told them to bring free stuff ( business cards, pamphlets, etc..) I would have gotten more interesting careers. I also would have called the businesses in advance, so we wouldn't have a last minute cancellation.
