As a human resources manager, the primary task is to ensure that only the best candidates are called for interview. In essence, academic credentials are not enough to determine a candidate’s suitability. During the interview, it is important to ensure that the applicant has required skills to meet the firm’s objectives. For example, a given person might have the best academic qualifications as per the job’s description but lack other important aspects such as ability to work in the team and good communication skills. During the interview, such traits should be noted to disqualify applicants who cannot meet fundamental requirements of a team player.

Because of the substantial need for industries to obtain and maintain skilled workers, the community college system is pursuing strategies to help employers attract the preferred worker.

Questioning the correlation of commercial success and true artistry began in the light of mainstream music. Mainstream music has been given a negative connotation due to the supposed lack of originality of the artists. Repetitive chord progressions and meaningless lyrics compose the majority of “mainstream music,” making each song sound like the next .

Throughout the course of my workplace practices class I have participated in a consisted of completing assignments and work experience regarding my career pathways. As I look back and reflect on my time at this course, I am able to explore the graduate qualities and capabilities I have achieved over the duration of this study period, as well as the skills and abilities I need to improve on. Graduate qualities are skills that have been learned by students throughout the course of their schooling life, for example, it is a learning outcome of a program specifically stating the things that's been learned by students who have completed that program of study.
