It has been said, “pulling a good network together takes effort, sincerity and time” (Collins quoted in Jones-Kaminski, 2014). For the same reason that cogs do not function on their own, people cannot spin their own gears to a productive end without other individuals to connect with. Truly, who you know matters as much, if not more than what you know! The most brilliant scientist requires a network in which to publish their findings. Similarly, however talented, a musician needs a network in which to sell, distribute, and preform their work. As my professional journey goes on, developing and managing a strong network of people around me will be of paramount importance. I do not anticipate remaining in my current organization long-term and I can utilize my network to hone my abilities and demonstrate them to the industry at large. In the years ahead, I must work to better understand how to utilize my network, keep my image visible and consistent to that network, and connect with a mentor who can challenge me and help me advance my career.
The Role of Networking in My Life
The power of networking changed my life just two years go and managed correctly, stands to do so again in the future. While attending North Carolina State University and embroiled in the months-long process of proving state residency, I received a phone call from a person I had worked with briefly a few years before. We had kept in contact and he was now urging me to apply to a position as his associate at a

“Waddley-acha, waddley-acha, doodley-doo, doodley-doo…” rang throughout the gym. 650 freshmen filled the bleachers, laughing while frantically trying to copy Mr. White’s movements to the entertaining camp song. Clad in my purple baseball tee like the other Link Crew Leaders, I chuckled with my group of freshman as we all tried to figure out the motions together.
The career I choose to do my Career Story Interview, which I’m interested in doing, was Web Developer. Technically, the person that I interview, Jordan Scheller, is officially a Software Developer, but he creates/maintains websites which is what Web Developers do. So to be completely clear, the career I will be investigating is Web Developer.

For my In-Depth Interview paper, I chose to Interview my co-worker Senada Cufurovic whom I work with at Bank of the West. Senada finds herself culturally diverse as being from another country and culture. As long as I have known Senada from working with her for the past two years, I have never been able to get to know her background from where she came from until this opportunity to interview her came up.
Jayson Whitmore shared some great information when it came to you as an individual and working with people. A key item I learned where that professionalism is key and essential. It represents who you are and how you present yourself to people. Another key thing he mentioned was motivation for me. Jayson said, “don’t question yourself; believe it, dream it, then follow through with it”. A third key point was about virtual teams. Working through the internet, you want to be where you feel the most creative and increase the productivity of my business. More diverse talent is a huge asset to a business. Of his point, the most meaningful point to me is that if you believe it, dream it, then follow through with it. Anything you can see, you can be.

Following this through, take pop phenomenon, Justin Beiber, for instance; Justin was found on YouTube by Atlanta based manager, Scooter Braun (Kaufman, 2010). As stated by Gladwell, “Mavens are people who have a strong compulsion to help others” (69). A manager in music is somewhat similar; a manager’s job is to handle the business of an artist, making sure the labels are doing their job and helps the artist keep their focus on music (About.com: Music Careers). Continuing on, manager Scooter Braun insisted on meeting the soon to be pop sensation, so he set up a meeting with Justin and his mom where Justin would have then accidentally run into R&B superstar Usher (Kaufman, 2010). Usher, in this case would be referred to as the connector, an individual who has many ties in many realms and act as the passage between them. Ushers role would be connector since he landed Justin a professional deal and formed a joint-venture label with Braun and Antonio L.A. Reid, the
Conversely, all roles from VP to associates are essential in the student services division. The thought is “one body, one goal” (a team effort). Researchers call this type structure the “all –channel network (Bolman and Deal, 2013). The all – channel network is inclusive and creates multiple connections, so that each individual can communicate with anyone else. The morale in the all – channel network is usually high, because individuals have a voice, being heard, and is involved in making important decisions. This arrangement works well if a task is amorphous or complex, requiring mutual adjustment. In addition, team members should bring to the table with them, well – developed communication skills, enjoy participation, accept uncertainty, embrace diversity, and are able to manage conflicts. If the task is simple, this process would be inefficient, and the
This year I have noticed our theme recurring throughout the year in our many stories. The pursuit of happiness stood out to me in Thoreau’s literature. Especially when he said, “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and not see if I could learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” To me, this shows that the pursuit of happiness is different for everyone. Thoreau wanted to live deliberately, he wanted to learn all that he could, so that when it came his time, he wouldn't have gone his whole life to find out that he never really lived. Thoreau found his happiness in the simplest things in life.
A thematic analysis of an interview was used to help students develop an understanding of the role of an RC. This role is dynamic and challenging; it offers great opportunities to grow and work in an academic team based environment that fosters constant learning. Often RCs play a significant role in the process of bringing a project from conception to completion which requires a variety of qualifications and leadership qualities. An inductive approach to this process, beginning with data collection and analysis, allowed me to consider specific aspects of the topic and progress on to more general concepts. Eventually, I was able to discover connections between existing knowledge and the data I analyzed. The finalized themes included Qualifications; Role of Team Leader; Rewards and Challenges.
Define the situation (case summary) Define the major issues, conflicts, and the network . Describe the options (alternatives) for solving these issues. Several internal and external influences serve as contributing factors in the reconsideration of the company’s current system. Changes in customer demands, domestic and global competition, and a unique decentralized management system is now forcing the Westminster Company to reevaluate their traditional supply chain practices. (Bowersox & M.B., 2014) Westminster’s domestic operations consist of three separate companies that sell and distribute products to several of the same customers. (Bowersox & M.B., 2014) At first glance consolidation of the systems can significantly improve
