Week 2 EOC: Sweet Charity Rights and Wrongs

Rights: One of the things Charity attempted right but also failed was the way she was dressed. She definitely made an attempt as to how she would show up to her interview but she didn't nail the right look for it. she applied too much makeup, she wasn't wearing a blazer but instead a cardigan and she had too much jewelry on.

Wrongs: Although it did seem that she tried she should have done a walk by before her interview to see exactly what the ladies were wearing and try to mimic it. She did over-do her makeup, she was wearing a cardigan instead of a blazer and had too much jewelry on.
Another wrong she did was when she arrived at the employment officers cubicle she was lingering and listening in on his conversation over the phone instead of letting him know that she was there and wait patiently for him to be done instead of looking like she was interested in what he was saying. "Should an applicant for a dish-washing position know that an additional job task is cutting the grass? Does the establishment require servers to mop the floors? Must cooks wash pots and pans? Do storeroom staff need to use a computer for inventory or other purposes? Each of these tasks can be a surprise to a new employee, who might not have accepted the position if he or she had known about all of the responsibilities." (PG. 348)
She explained that she didn't have any skills at all. If she was more prepared for the interview and took the skills that she learned as a taxi girl and transform them into some relatable skills she would have had a chance.
"Current and accurate job descriptions inform job applicants about what they would do if they worked in the position. This information will impact their interest in the job, so managers must develop it carefully." (PG. 402) When the employment officer asked her if she knew how to work a typewriter she stated no. He would continue asking questions to see if she had any skills or qualifications that would help her find a job and question after after she stated no, even when he paused and started asking another question she said no. Remember that an employer of choice is one where employees enjoy their work and encourage their friends and family to seek open positions in the organization. Almost by definition, employers of choice have fewer terminations than do other employers that do not consistently offer an enjoyable work experience.(PG. 349) Also, as an employment officer he wasn't taking the situation seriously. As a professional he should have not assumed that she was playing a joke on him but instead helped her into furthering her career path in whatever field she wanted to pursue

Overall, I believe that if she would have tried a little harder in actually wanting to better herself she could have done it. Instead of begging and crying for the job she should have asked where she can finish her G.E.D. to get ahead in her career.
