Group
theories on communication: Introduction

            During
this assignment I thought that this was a group project. I only just learned
that the main part of the assignment was to do an essay which is an individual
assignment. During that time I spoke about communicating effectively and in a
timely manner. What I mentioned as miscues in communication is what I
experienced. I was left out at some points and did not see the team post and I
also did not receive a quick response for my questions. At least I got one response
I guess. So, for any group, effective communication is the delivery of a timely
message and clear representation of the vision or team goals. In this paper I
will discuss the things new hires should either know or try to relay to the
employer. Also, the explanation of what should be communicated to you as an
employee in a group or as a individual. Following in the next paragraph.

            For
any new hire remember to understand what you have applied to do. I also posted
during this week to find out what else your degree can do and asked where can
it work. I have seen the limitations of being misinformed and the limitations
of segregation and oppression. I have seen me work and not be credited for my
work. So new hires make sure that you communicate your standards, and it is
clear what you want out of a job. Communicating that I am grateful for a chance
to work without desperation.

Job
pools

            I
looked over a website that had statistics about new hires. According to this
website (Economy & guy, 2015) it says that, “on
average every corporate job opening attracts 250 resumes” of the 4 to 6 called
for an interview only 1 will be offered a
job. This may or may not be true. I myself have had trouble finding the career opening
that I want, but that does not mean there are no openings. I must keep in mind
to find job openings it may take some time and upon finding this desired
position that I want I must communicate effectively. This may be done in a lot
of ways, I have to be able to communicate my needs and that I can grow into the
position. The trouble in that is that employers need to take the job openings
more seriously than it appears they do. This does not mean being ignorant or
uptight, but more fluid and open minded to the possible candidates that are
interviewed or called. Not always looking for the most experienced at some
times.

What
can my degree get me?

            I am looking at
people that say that because they work they deserve $13.00 and hour. This may
be without a degree. I have two currently and can not find a decent position.
Am I communicating desperately enough? I find it odd that I said according to
the (Ted: The economics daily, 2015) bureau of labor
statistics my BBA alone could get me $50,000. It was odd because I placed one
of the salaries in the desired pay. I did not get a response, so the question
is where can we find and earn what we are worth or deserve without ridicule?
Also what should be considered when I look for a job. I did some brief research
and according to this website (Economy & guy, 2015) there were five
things that are considered by job seekers before taking a job. They were listed
from most important to least important. 1.) Salary and compensation, 2.) career
growth opportunities, 3.) work and life habits, 4.) location/commute and, 5.)
company culture and values. These are very important to consider and really are
the only things that matter in a job search. Each individual person may rate
these factors differently, but I doubt that they can say that these factors are
not considered into their job search. When will we be able to communicate not
just the need of opportunity but the that the employer can demonstrate the
necessary tools to hire effectively.

Job
search and organization, using job search engines do not
always work but are decent tools when you have the time to filter through the
openings. Trying to find a place that matches your career aspirations is
important. Paying attention is a important part of communicating and with out
the attention span to match the job it may lead to quick interviews that you
may not be prepared for. I have been in this situation before, not seeing that
sometimes I want to work part time and not full time for instance.
Communicating my availability or where I travel from. A lot of people just want
the interview and may just go sometimes the commute does not work.

Organization
and communicating, a good tool to keep in mind is effective
organization. When you can organize your daily activities, you can find that
you simplify many of the encounters that you have. This is very important when
dealing with a group. Thus, one major strategy in communicating is effective
organization. One simple way to organize is to 1.) to take turns; this works
well when many people are trying to speak. Make it clear that you want to take
turns speaking. 2.) state what the problem is early on; when there is a problem
or concern it makes it simpler to quickly try and find a solution. In some
scenarios it may even make breaking a team down into groups easier. One last
thing to keep in mid when looking to find a job and working in groups is 3.)
The vision; You must see what you want from yourself and the employer. If you
work for a non-profit money may not be the object. You must have to understand
that, look for what you do gain prior to interviewing and communicate your
goals and concerns, and as a non-profit employer state your mission and vision
to the hopeful employee, while trying to communicate to their needs or goals.

Conclusion

            I want to be able
to communicate for myself. I find trying to always speak to others damaging at
times, knowing how to not coerce others while being assertive may be benefit
me. I do not want to be ignorant just a strong speaker. In groups sometimes, it
can bother some when a person seems way to aggressive when trying to lead
others. I am not hoping to damage just communicate and get the work done.
