Hrm 531 Week 5 Learning Journal

I doubt I could have offered you more than the State Board of Accounts. I wouldn't be surprise if you got more or if we got about the same. They offered me $72,0000 which is a $9,000 increase from what I am making now. That to me was worth it. I know the crazy thing is that Jason and Kim makes more than that; however, it doesn't matter. Once I have the director role it will be a whole lot easier to get the director role at a another organization with higher salary (Ball State/Ivy Tech, or etc.). They are giving me the money for four employees although that could change if I need more next year. They budgeted 2 Senior Auditors (45-55K) and 2 Internal Auditors (35-45K). I told them I could get Internal Auditors for the low 40K. I know getting the seniors for that salary will be somewhat challenging. I figure if I cant get a good one I could either hire a audit manager role in the 65K range and hire an audit assistant or something.

the holiday. If an employee is not at work on a pay day when paychecks are distributed, the employee should pick up his paycheck from the Firm Administrator on the next day the employee is at work.

My first week of employment as a Front Desk Associate at Wild Dunes Resort, a Destination Property begins tomorrow at 9AM. I have received all the necessary new hire paperwork, including the employee handbook, all instructions and necessary information regarding my first day as well as my very first schedule.

Outside sales rep: The company provides online tools as well as access! to any department when needed.

The received a call from the boss offering me of an annual salary of $47.50 an hour at $95,000 yearly base salary plus benefits with a relocation fee of $5,000 for the management position to join their team. I explained to the boss that I was looking for a 10% increase from my current salary of $90,000. The “Boss” paused (phone silence), and then made an offer of $95,000 to include an annual bonus of 5% if my annual goals were accomplished, which she said would meet my annual 10% increase request. I explained to the “Boss” that I was concerned about selling my house and relocating to find a house in her area, so I would be needing relocation fee assistance. The “Boss” paused, and offered a $5000.00 relocation assistance fee, which I accepted the proposed relocation fee offer. The “Boss” then explained to me that I would be sharing an

10-22-2015 I submitted my learning journal for unit 7. I read through my unit 8 learning guide, read chapter 16 and took self-quiz. Did course evaluation.

I believe that I have an internal locus of control because most of my answers seemed to come from a place of reason rather than hoping on blind luck. The role this plays in my ability to make positive health-related decisions is that it allows me to think things through and realize that it is my choice to become healthy not waiting for

In every aspect of our daily lives, we need interpersonal skills to communicate and interact with others efficiently. Individuals with excellent interpersonal skills often collaborate well in teams or groups and with other individuals more generally. When interacting with others, interpersonal skills come naturally, yet in some situations, it can also be challenging to communicate with others. According to **** “Through awareness of how you interact with others, and with practice, you can improve your interpersonal skills” (p. ). Therefore, it is vital that individuals occasionally evaluate their communication skills to ensure that they are communicating in writing or speaking effectively. On the Internet, there are multiple communication self-assessment tools to help individuals discover their communication skills strengths and weaknesses, and overall, determine if they are communicating effectively. Describe the assessment you used to analyze your skills.

Communication is a tremendous aspect of everyday life. The effects of positive and negative communication are imperative to making deals, providing information, and even everyday office interaction. The way people communicate with each other defines their character, especially in an office setting. Positive communication skills are appreciated and are the basis of running a successful company. Conversely, negative communication can lead to business failure, as well as poor relationships with co-workers. Three positive methods of communication are active listening, effective speaking, and confidence. Three negative methods of communication are strong reactions, providing misleading information, and the use improper communication tools. Ari

I recommend that everybody should take a locus of control test. It is easy and free which will give you a valuable interesting insight of your strengths. It will also reveal if you are a person with high internal locus of control or a person with high external locus of control.

A person that has an external locus of control will usually approach problems with emotion-focused coping. Instead of attempting to fix their problem they try to let it blow over, which does not always work and can backfire by escalating into something worse. A person with an external locus of control was probably raised by authoritarian parents, parents that provide many rules and let their children make few decisions which lead the children to feel out of control.

Communication skills are a critical component of any career field, its main purpose is to transmit a message so that it is clear. Communication can be used to

I took the Interpersonal Communication Skills Test on “Queendom.com”. It seemed relevant to my work as a counselor since I will be communicating with clients on a daily basis. The goal of this test is to determine how effectively someone communicates with others, as well as to offer beneficial advice in order to improve any problems one may have that could slow down the communication process. This test is a valuable instrument for employees in the counseling profession since it is a career of constant growth. It also seems useful in several other careers that rely on constant communication. This particular communication skills test was designed to examine insightfulness, verbal expression, assertiveness, listening skills, and emotional management. A couple examples of the test questions include: “I can detect the mood of others by looking at them as we converse” and “I manage to express my ideas clearly”. A Likert scale is used in the scoring process with answers ranging from “Almost never” to “Most of the time”. One negative aspect of this test is its reliability on self-reports. It can be difficult to admit to your communication weaknesses, especially if you are unaware of them.

There is a significant difference between my perception of communication at the beginning of this course compared to now. Initially, I was aware communication was an important skill people needed to have, but I wasn’t fully aware of the depth of communication. I never realized there were such a variety of behaviors and characteristics that impacted the ability for people to communicate effectively. Once I started completing the self-assessments my perspective was broaden and I gained helpful insight into my own communication strengths and weaknesses. With each self-assessment I truly felt I was getting to know myself better.
