“Tell me the story of my life as you know it,” I asked my dad knowing that I needed as much as I could get from him. Of course, against my dismay, he started with, “Chase Barclay was born in Houston, Texas on a warm humid day in January 2002.” “I need more information, some really deep stuff,” I said in a rather upset tone since I thought he understood what I was doing with what he said. “Chase 's middle name, Woodrow, is from his grandfather, who was named for President Woodrow Wilson. From the start, we knew Chase was very intelligent.
Five years ago, I worked for Publix Supermarket, and I lived in Warner Robins Georgia. This next weekend was inventory time and the entire store was to be counted by Monday morning. Nobody was pleased about offering up their weekend for inventory. The stores morale was extremely low, and no one wanted to be counting inventory all weekend. Our supervisor decided to offer each one a chance to demonstrate how effective they could work as a team.
1. Provide a brief summary (in your own words) of the company (i.e., history of the company). Capital One, which is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, was founded in 1988 by Mr. Richard D. Fairbank. He wanted to bring information, testing, technology, and amazing people to the team. So, that they could work together to bring financial products straight to consumers that had been customized.
Teamwork is also seen in my schooling. I’ve gone to schools that use group work as a common educational tool. For example,
For this outcome I have two projects that I believe fit the points in a good way. Both of the projects I had to work in a group and be able to clearly and effectively get my ideas out as well as understand the others thoughts and ideas. These projects both involve working well in a team setting and being able to get to the common goal and being able to work well with one another. The two projects I have picked are my group Archetype project and then the group or class discussion.
The search for my perfect bank started last year when I started my job at Burger King on 17th Street. Though I settled on the bank my family goes to, this project has made me realize that all banks are not the same. There are a lot differences and similarities to each bank. The bank I chose is Citizens Community Bank.
I believe I should be chosen becuase I will bring a hard working persona, a great can-do attitude, and willing to take on any task. I am bilingual, so I can help assist our non-english speakers and I believe I have skills to persuade future customers to be part of Capital One. I am a very dedicated person who tries to always be the best as I can, meaning helping not only myself, to grow, but everyone around me. I strive to achieve many things and take my education seriously. I’ve always been in Honors classes and get good grades, currently I have a GPA of 3.4 but am striving to better myself and get a 4.0.
A time when I had to act as a team with others was in the beginning of my freshman year. I was just about out of middle school and scared of a new beginning. I was coming to a new school and I needed to make friends because my old ones had gone to different high schools. It was the 3rd week of school and my biology teacher arranged a group project so that her students would get to know each other, I was partnered up with two other girls that were complete strangers to me.
We did interviews and research on how to get the groups to interact with each other. We came up with the solution of have more student events, so they could mingle and make friends. Describe a time when you worked in a small group. What was particularly good about that group?
Groupthink was a very interesting aspect that I use in my day-to-day. This theory is a phenomenon where people desire consensus within a group. Often than not, people will disregard their own opinion
Throughout my whole life, the California Academy of Sciences has served as a source of inspiration. I really appreciate how the Academy and its staff are extremely dedicated to science and try their absolute best to help educate and motivate the public. I also appreciate that the Academy frequently updates its exhibits to bring in fresh scientific material to keep the public interested. The Academy has also fueled my interest in science from a young age. I used to go to the old Academy in Golden Gate Park before it was renovated and I was fascinated by the dinosaur exhibits that were displayed.
What worked well with our group project was the initial planning phase of the project as well as collecting data went better the expected. I contributed to our group project by providing a gender difference in our study when observing student’s smiles. Along with this I also complied all of the data into both our results section, and our graphs section. Averaging our results to account for having 3 female observers to 1 male observer, then making these results in a more user friendly percentage format. Also I prepared most of our group presentation to our class.
However, I have found that I, along with the students, prefer the collaborative nature of the groups. In figure B, you will see a snapshot of a group presentation. The group was selected randomly and consisted of four students. The students had about ½ hour to answer various problems considered to be “challenge” problems at their level. Each group had different problems to solve.
This group has really changed my perception of group projects because we actually turned into a collaborative group, one that has a high concern
There are many different types of small groups and we all have a different definition of a small group. I am going to talk about my skills level in working in small groups. Then I will talk about my definition about small groups. I am also going to talk about my personal experiences that working in different small groups. At last, depends on my current level of skills working in a small group, I also will write about what am I expect to learn to help me being better in small groups.
