After reading the articles on the JetBlue crisis, I was very surprised that a large airline could experience that big of problems. Obviously no one can predict the weather or truly be prepared for every situation, but one might think that an airline could have emergency weather procedures and compensation for customers. Delays always happen but the confusion that followed really hurt JetBlue. They really did not have any good plans in place and their actions did not help the situation.
For this project, I researched internship opportunities and found an accounting internship with Siemens. I did a self assessment of skills and why I am qualified for this position. I then wrote a cover letter and resume. After completing the documents, I evaluated what I learned and how I did. I have attached the file with all these documents.
Here is the employment final project
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.
