Interviews gone wrong...
i thought that this article was interesting because Sally automatically thought that she had the job before the interview. She didn’t prepare and prematurely celebrated an offer she was convinced would be extended. This is what a majority of people do and why the unemployment rate is so high.

jobs needed in the current economic state
1. Of these 10 jobs, which grab your attention the most?
_The New Finance
because anyone that graduates with any finance degree has a guaranteed job
2. Is your desired career field listed, if not, then research it and find out where it stacks up in today's economy.
_Q: When the economy does a downturn, what is the job market like for pharmaceutical sales reps?
_A: As a pharmaceutical sales rep, you will never enjoy the same level of job security as a teacher or civil servant. It's a cyclical business that ebbs and flows. If a company loses a major product and doesn't have a replacement, things might get dicey and there may be layoffs. Or if your company gets taken over and there are too many people in the operation some people may have to find new jobs
3. What skills would you need to have to pursue the career you are looking for?
_a degree in Marketing/Sales
_prior experience (internship)

Finding a Solution to SC's Unemployment Rate
1. Post your thoughts.2. What could be done about the growing number of jobless that are not meeting the specifications of the open jobs in South Carolina.
IN CONCLUSION"
the article it was stated that, "The task of putting the jobless to work is complicated by a gap between the skills of jobless workers and the skills wanted by companies that are hiring, said Stephen Marshall, deputy executive director of the S.C. Employment Security Commission."
i think that a solution would be to create a quick but accurate system that trains applicants to learn what they need to know for the job and maybe even teach them other jobs in the company in case down the road they are needed in another department of the company. this will eliminate them not being qualified and not having to fire the persons if the job becomes filled.

Coffee back on the market
1. Is it wise for Starbucks to try to enter the "fastfood" fields with McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts?
if they can lower their prices then yes; because the reason they are losing so much business to McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts is because they have cheaper products to offer.
2. Do you think they will be successful?
only if they lower their prices.
3. What are some ways that Starbucks can compete or gain customers without entering a battle with Fast Food companies?
they could advertise more on television...

Fiening Phelps Get's Caught!
1. Would you as a sponsor continue to give money to Michael Phelps?
Yes; because he is a young male and i'm sure most can relate back to being at that age. Also understanding that he is under a lot of new found pressure can help fans relate to what bad choices Phelps has/may undergo.
2. Would you as a business owner still pay Phelps money to Market your products?
Honestly, i would probably cut back on how much money and publicity is spent on him while things die down...
3. Post your thoughts about the situation.
I don't really have any thoughts about this situation. Statistics show that 42.4% of males students have used marijuana. and those numbers are just from high school students. Phelps is 23 and is becoming a nationwide icon. sometimes when one is under a lot of stress they may make bad decisions trying to escape reality.
