All of the JetBlue readings were very insightful and made a great point about the situation. At first, I thought JetBlue went about the situation in the right manner, but as I read more and more articles, I thought otherwise. Especially in the article, Managing Communications in a Crisis, it made a valid point on how companies need to plan in advance for situations that may arise in the future. The examples provided in the text really stressed how important it is to plan ahead and what disasters can develop if a company does not plan ahead.

Attached is the project!

I enjoyed looking through all the resumes, and I found five resumes that stood out amongst the others. I picked resumes 8, 9, 29, 31, and 32. I think what stood out the most of the five were the objective statements. All of the objective statements made it clear what the applicant wanted and how their work experience and education applies to their desired position. The resumes were also very organized and in a clear, clean format. All of the information about the work experiences were very detailed and informative. The tasks also correlated back to the objective statement.

I found the Ten Habits of Successful Emailers to be interesting. The second habit reminded me of an article in the paper that I read a while ago. It was written by a professor that was disgusted by the way that students are writing E-mails to their professors. “Be slightly more formal than you think you should be.” I assume most students are used to the way they type on AIM or in E-mails to their friends, and use the same language to their professors. There is no excuse for that because I feel when writing to a professor, E-mails should be formal and well written.

The position I am interested in is an operational manager position that focuses on controlling group expenses such as telecommunications, field and group office supplies, construction, boxes, shipping and travel; and also by working with Loss Prevention on shortage control. The position requires monitoring the customer repair business and providing operational, customer service, and system related training for the Regional Managers and Branch Sales Managers in the field. This position requires someone who can manage multiple tasks for multiple locations simultaneously.
