Brief explanation of job-keeping skills

Job keeping skills are the skills that every employee must possess for them to perform well on the job and also retain it. Job-keeping skills are not necessarily code and conduct of a Job, or rather Job description, but these are personal skills that makes an employee a good fit for the Job. Job keeping skills include an employee's personal work habits and ethics. Job-keeping skills involve getting a Job and keeping the Job.

Some examples of job-keeping skills

Before I mention the three job-keeping skills for which I'm proficient at, I would like to mention other skills to buttress the explanation on job-keeping skills:

1. critical thinking abilities

2. Leadership skills.

3. Honesty and creativity

4. Prepare and avoiding lateness to work

5. Attention to details and willingness to learn new skills

6. Personal training and problem solving skills

7. Ability to work with the team

8. Time management

9. Appropriate dressing and planning ahead of work

10. Interpersonal communication skills

11. Love for the Job

12. Work with supervisor

Two(2) reasons I am competent in each of the skills:

Since the question above is to choose three skills, these are the three skills I will talk on:

1. Love for the Job:

> I have this motivation each time I work on something I love. So loving my Job will translate to me ensuring I work hard to keep it.

> I do research, pay for personal trainings to improve on what is love.

2. Time management

> I plan my activities a day before. This will enable me manage my time effectively.

> I don't like procrastination. I like doing work on time.

3. Ability to work with the team

> I like teamwork, this is an avenue to learn new things and eliminate the mindset of " I know all".

> I believe in different ideas from different people, this will hasten and also bring out desired result.

Attacking Fraud" Think about a company where you have worked that had a case of employee theft or fraud. (If you do not know of

const2013 [10]

Answer:

I can share one fraud example that happened at a company I used to work at, perhaps it can help you with this.

I worked in recruiting for a medium sized tech company, and when big projects came along we had to hire a large number of people in a very short time. On one of these projects we hired a software developer to freelance for us in this project. He did such a good job that he was offered a permanent position after the project was done. He accepted and started working for us immediately after, as another manager wanted to work with him on another project.

Because he was known in the company and it was urgent that he worked with us, the hiring process was rushed and some steps were overlooked. One of these steps was asking the applicant to document their experience, we usually asked for references and recommendation letters. After about a month and a half, HR asked the developer to give his references or ask for recommendation letters, almost as a formality.

Although we called the references and they checked out, something was off in the statements they gave. So a colleague who knew people at a previous company this developer worked for, called a friend and asked her to inquire about him. Turns out he never worked there and had given a fake reference who he had instructed on what to say. Needless to say he was immediately fired.

Although there were policies and procedures to avoid an incident like this, work overload made it so that they were overlooked and we trusted that because he had been a good freelancer he would be a good employee. Afterwards, by company policy it was strictly forbidden to skip a step in the hiring process and a background check was also implemented.

Katrina is trying to stop smoking. Her therapist suggests aversive conditioning, which pairs the cigarette with something unplea

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The nausea-inducing substance.

Explanation:

One of the examples of Aversion therapy is when someone is trying to stop smoking just like Katrina in the question above. That is to say when an individual or someone is trying to stop an habit that he or she is used to like before then we say that the person is going through an Aversion therapy.

Unconditioned stimulus has to deal with a stimuli(usually natural) that makes or causes another reaction for example now when someone puff air to another person's eyes, it will surely lead to that person's eyes to blink.

Hence, the nausea-inducing substance will be the Unconditioned stimulus which will trigger the "dislike response" so as for Katrina to stop smoking.

Laws always result from the pushes and pulls of lobbying efforts, political pressures, and have nothing to do with ethics.

Leto [7]

It is false, because the law is based on core ideas of ethics, actually. In common law, cases are determined with the help of the past decisions. Those decisions are also based on past decisions and so on. It shows that timeline doesn't matter; what matters is just the rules and principles of law.
