1. How would you describe Wendy Kopp’s success based on what you have learned in this chapter?
I would say the Wendy Kopp’s passion for what she does is the first thing to attribute to her success. Wendy Kopp's passion for educational reform, drove her to attain more than anyone thought possible. "I'm more passionate than I've ever been because every day I see more evidence that this has potential to have a fundamental impact on kids' lives,"(Persuading Others to Share Your Vision By Carmine Gallo September 21, 2007 )
“Kopp's passion is behind her boundless energy, an energy that keeps her on the road three days a week to recruit college students and to meet with potential donors. “( Ibid) Kopp's leadership

The common perception of a recruiter is evolving quickly in the workplace (Boswell 2001). Where once recruiters were viewed as a tool to simply acquire candidates, modern recruiters have greater responsibilities to their clients. These responsibilities can include tasks such as organizing paperwork, completing pre-screening measures, and even occasionally preparing training curriculum (Darrell 2002). Recruiters are further expected to provide quality screening of candidates and ensure the optimal match for each applicable position within a company (Posner 2006). As with any other job within a company, recruiters must take this work seriously and avoid procrastination to ensure a smooth transition for their candidates into the new workplace. Should the transition fail to be smooth, the full blame modernly falls on the recruiter who failed to use proper coordinating strategy.
My very first job interview for the Chesapeake Virginia School District has always set the tone for expectations of the hiring process for me. Chesapeake Public Schools anticipates the “churn” of employees (Moran, 2014). Chesapeake Public School implemented an early hire process as it planned for the next year’s vacancy. So while the individual vacancies were not posted, they sought interviews on college campuses among the graduating seniors.

The following is an introduction of one specific company that recently requested a case study of a current internal hiring process that took place or did not take place. In this situation, a new campus recruiter was expecting to bring on 15 new hires to complete for orientation to work in the Operations department.

I chose to interview Jamie Schoenherr, an assistant athletic trainer/head of education at Buena Vista University. She finished her undergrad degree at BVU then continued her education at Western Illinois University. Here she received her master’s degree while working for a grad assistantship.

The inconsiderateness of the clinic for my father’s injury only further fueled me to research and contact many lawyers to find the best one to represent my father. I continued to lead my father through this new and unfamiliar situation. I further developed my researching and inquiry skills to uncover resources and opportunities for the benefit of peers as myself. Bright prospect is a program aimed to empower students to gain admission, and graduate from universities. Currently, I’m the crew leader of my Bright Prospects team. Many of my crew members were unaware of the benefits and opportunities offered by their community. One of my crew member wants to pursue a career as a firefighter, but was confused about how prepare. I led him to ask around Pomona City Hall and introduced my crew member to various internships opportunities within and around our hometown. Because I pursued a positive change in myself, my family, and my peers, I took the initiative to find organizations in which I could take on leadership roles. I continue develop my leadership skills to persuade others to be active in communities and to seek opportunities to achieve their personal

During my sophomore year at Miami Dade College, I decided to run as the President of Phi Beta Lambda, which alongside Future Business Leaders of America is considered the largest career student organization in the world. I had the purpose of reaching and encouraging students, including Biology, Engineering, and Journalism majors to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that this organization offers every year. However, in order to do a successful job, I had to work as a team player alongside my club’s advisor and the rest of the officers. Our major project was to make the state and national conferences affordable to a broader range of students and prepared them for the competitive events.
Propaganda also convinced women to join the war effort because women were just as important as men during WWII for the implications regarding productivity for military material. War was a masculine endeavor and it was controversial that women join the military service. To ease the minds of American men, the OWI conceived a respectable female soldier image. In Figure 2, a mother is proud that her son and daughter are both dutiful children and part of the military. This poster conveyed to parents that it was patriotic for daughters to enter the service without having her socially shunned and shame the family (Briones 56).
When I first saw the final paper assignment posted, I directly decided that I was going to start reading the chapter that goes over the recruiting interview which winds up to be Chapter 7 in the textbook “Interviewing Principles and Practices”. I chose this chapter because I thought it would be interesting to know how the recruiting process differs from one organization to another or from one country to another, given that I chose to interview people from outside the United States. I also picked this chapter because I realized that recruiting is the most used tool in order to decide whether a prospective employee will be a good fit to a given position in a given organization.
