Hawthorne Experiment

Hawthorne Experiment
In this lesson we got split up into groups of 3 and we had to find out the outcomes of the Hawthorne experiments. We made a small presentation on paper and are going to present it in our next lesson. I found learning about this subject was quite interesting because of the outcomes in the end.

Interview Feedback

Interview Feedback Video Here
After having my Interview as part of my assignment i was asked to create a video on how the Interview went. On the video i basically just talk about the things that went well in my interview and the things that wasn't to good. I explained how maybe next time i can improve these bad points and how i can make my interview skills much better.

The Interview

My interview took place on the 11th of November, for the job Help Desk Support i was one of the 1st students to do my interview. I was very nervous before the interview but i would say i acted very professional. My interview took place with Paul Hatton as the interviewer and Matt Cashmore as the Assessor. Overall i would say my interview went really well and i was very confident, as so did the interviewer say so. I was asked a set of 11 questions what i found where very easy and simple to answer, at the end of the interview i asked 3 questions about this business this shows that i am interested and confident in asking them questions.

Belbin Questionaire

The belbin questionaire was a very simple peice of work what would overall evaluate what type of person you are and how you best and least like to work.
After filling in the questionaire we anlysed the results and got our answers to what we was.

Reflecting on the results I scored my highest in Team Worker (TW) with a score of 16. I would strongly agree with this as I know myself that I work great in groups and love communicating with the group members.

 

My second to highest was Resource Investigatior I scored an amount of 13 on this section. I strongly agree with this score as when I start to work in groups I get excited and give the group a boost to get excited to start the task, I would also agree on happily stealing from other companies or people if I hear a good idea from somewhere elce I would add it on to my work.

 

My lowest score was Co-Coordinator (CO) I scored 0 on this section which is strange as I thought I would have scored at least something as I feel that when working in groups I often like to speak up and take lead.

 

My second to lowest score was Monitor Evaluator (ME) with a score of 2. I am not surprised that I scored 2 on this section as, this section he or she would take everything into account, and by moving slowly and analytically, this is not me what so ever I work completely different to this as I work fast and do not take everything into account.

 

I would have thought myself that my strongest point should have been Shaper (SH) even though I did score 10 on this section I would have guessed that this would have been my highest scorer as I know that I am very outgoing, dominant and a task leader.

 

Overall the results are very much like me and I would agree mostly.

Assignment!

We received our assignment today, I found out that we had to create a professional CV and cover letter for a job spec from the choice we got given, i chose to do the Help Desk spec.
This is the first part of our assignment. I feel the assignment is pretty straight forward and i feel that i will enjoy the assignment well.

Interview Prep

Interview Prep
In today's lesson we worked in groups of 3. We are going to put up a guide on how to prepare for an interview. We come up with loads of ideas on how to do this, we thought back to our interviews and how we had to participate in our interviews. We all came up with different ideas on how to get prepared for an interview.
Today's lesson went well, i have also learnt other ideas for my group members on how to prepare for interview this may be able to help me in the future.

Cv And Cover Letter Practise

In the lessons what we have been doing is having loads of practice on cover letters and a personal CV.

We have been looking at videos and good points on how we can get our self's recognized by work places, also we have been looking at our unique selling points and key points. 

I have really enjoyed doing this type of work as i would love to have a professional CV and cover letter to allow me to get a good job and to get noticed.
I have also learnt the insides and outs of CV's and cover letters for example what points get noticed and what the employer looks for in these documents.
Ever since doing practice on this subject i can say i have improved my CV and cover letter.
This is a preview of my cover letter to blue chilli games.
