    APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE Chapter 15 (Page 516)

    To review chapter content related to each question, refer to the indicated Learning
    Objective.

    1. How can you think like an employer if you have no professional


    business experience?
    I have to take into account how motivated and reliable the person is regarding
    the post I would assign them, as well as the companys need.
    2. If you were a team leader at a summer camp for children with special
    needs, should you include this in your employment history if you are
    applying for work that is unrelated? Explain your answer.
    Yes, I would, adding information like these may not be relevant to the particular
    job but it does demonstrate that I can handle a certain level of responsibility
    that would require such job.
    3. Can you use a qualifications summary if you dont yet have extensive
    professional experience in your desired career?
    Of course, while it may not be extensive now and days jobs require one to multitask and you may not know if you can qualify for additional postings then the
    one you would apply to.
    4. Some people dont have a clear career path when they enter the job
    market. If youre in this situation, how would your uncertainty affect
    the way your write your rsum?
    If I dont have a clear career path, then its best to create a basic resume with
    all your information and then customize it to fit the varied job applications that I
    may apply in the future.
    5. Between your sophomore and junior years, you quit school for a year
    to earn the money to finish college. You worked as a loan-processing
    assistant in a finance company, checking references on loan
    applications, typing, and filing. Your manager made a lot of the fact
    that he had never attended college. He seemed to resent you for
    pursuing your education, but he never criticized your work, so you
    thought you were doing okay. After youd been working there for six
    months, he fired you, saying that youd failed to be thorough enough
    in your credit checks. You were actually glad to leave, and you found

    another job right away at a bank, doing similar duties. Now that youve
    graduated from college, youre writing your rsum. Will you include
    the finance company job in your work history? Explain.
    Yes, even if the previous experience in the finance company may not have been
    the best one, it is ethical to include it in your job history especially since it
    pertains to the same area of work.
