Sweet Charity


She actually went to find a good job, instead of just talking about it and not making the effort.  Also she never talked bad herself, which is great because it gives a greater chance to be hired. Unlike her friends she tried to look for a job that will benefit her, because I think she cant be a dancer forever. There are several things that she could’ve improved on. One thing she did wrong was that she had no skills for the job. “Also, employee and management attitudes toward gender equality, appropriate dress, work ethic, religious tolerance, and minorities' rights are additional areas that can present significant challenges to international HR managers” (Human Resource Management, Page 54).  Before she went into the job, she should’ve went the day before to look what the attire was for the job. Also she wore way to much make up for just an office job, knowing the correct attire for the job allows you to look more professional. “In a disparate treatment case, the employee's claim is that the employer treated him or her differently than other employees who were in a similar situation”(Human Resource Management, Page 38). That being said, just because she didn’t have any skills for the job he didn’t have the right to claim that she was making a joke out of the situation. But she kept her cool and didn’t let what he said get to her. “The goal of most affirmative action programs is to broaden the pool of candidates and encourage hiring based on sound, job-related criteria” (Human Resource Management, Page 36).  She didn’t have any skills, but that doesn’t mean she couldn’t get the job. They could’ve put her in a training group to help her gain knowledge for the job.  I think her ambition will get her a job if she still tries to get one.

Best and Worst Jobs

One of the best jobs I experienced that involved great human resources was retail with my mother. Every worker was treated very well, no one was being favored over a other, not even myself. Even though its small store I experienced a lot of tools to eventually put under my belt.  While you work in retail you get to experience a lot of different personalities. Also you learn to be patient while working with different customers.  Learning how to cope with co-workers is another aspect of working in retail.  If you work in a great environment, you have a great attitude about what going on that particular day.

The working conditions and the respect for your employees have a huge impact in the work force. Also if you’re not familiar with any type of resource, you could ultimately lose customers and employees. If your not treated respectable you have a rude attitude for the rest of the day, and treating customers how you’re being treated. In the absence of laws that regulate specific actions, employers have significant discretion in establishing protocols that may affect the attitudes of staff members toward the organization” (Human Resource Management, Page 14).  Rules can help show how employees are supposed to act while working there.  Dealing with horrible customers is one of the most aggravating parts. You can’t do anything but help to get what they want and when they want it. You have to just suck up and be respectful at all times to make the customer happy.  “The broad range of human characteristics and dimensions that impact the employees' values, opportunities, and perceptions of themselves and others at work”(Human Resource Management, Page 15). That’s one of the most difficult things is dealing with different types of personalities in the work force.
