Elevator Speech: Representing Yourself Professionally To Potential Employers

 A professional elevator speech is a concise message that can be presented to potential employers describing your professional qualifications, philosophy, experience, and so forth. It is essentially a personal commercial lasting about the time it takes to complete an elevator ride (approximately 30 seconds), which is how it got its name. You will encounter times throughout your career in which having an elevator speech to present becomes essential, including interviews, presentations, meetings, school functions, professional development conferences, and more.

Initial Post: Post an initial response that addresses the following areas using the discussion board forum:

  • After reviewing the required readings this week about creating your own elevator speech, take some time to consider how you want to professionally present yourself. Draft your 30-second elevator speech to include:
    • Your introduction.
    • Your professional accomplishments.
    • Your professional experience.
    • Your strengths.
    • Your professional goals/philosophy.
    • Your “why” or professional career motivation (why you do what you do).
  • Within the discussion on the discussion board, forum, record or post a link to your 30-second audio elevator speech containing all six components of your draft. Please be creative and incorporate multimedia into your initial post. Employ a web tool, such as  or presentation tools such as PowerPoint (Links to an external site.)YouTube (Links to an external site.)

Discuss how these issues can be addressed by knowledge based systems   20 marks

Question Three [20 marks]

Consider the decision-making situation defined by the following rules:

1. If it is a nice day and it is summer, then I go to the golf course.

2. If it is a nice day and it is winter, then I go to the ski resort.

3. If it is not a nice day and it is summer, then I go to work.

4. If it is not a nice day and it is winter, then I go to class.

5. If I go to the golf course, then I play golf.

6. If I go to the ski resort, then I go skiing.

7. If I go skiing or I play golf, then I have fun.

8. If I go to work, then I make money.

9. If I go to class, then I learn something.

a. Follow the rules for the following situations (what do you conclude for each one?):

1. It is a nice day and it is summer.

2. It is not a nice day and it is winter.

3. It is a nice day and it is winter.

4. It is not a nice day and it is summer.

b. Are there any other combinations that are valid? Explain.

c. What needs to happen for you to “learn something” in this knowledge universe? Start with the conclusion “learn something” and identify the rules used (backward) to get to the needed facts.

d. Encode the knowledge into a graphical diagram (like an influence diagram). Use a circle to represent a fact such as: The day is nice or The day is not nice and an arrow to indicate influence.

e. Write a L.C. (or other third-generation language) program to execute this knowledge. Use IF- THEN (ELSE) statements in your implementation. How many lines long is it? How hard would it be to modify the program to insert new facts and a rule such as:

1. If it is cloudy and it is warm

2. and it is not raining

3. and it is summer

4. then I go play golf.

f. Implement the knowledge in a spreadsheet or database package on a PC.

g. Advanced exercise. In an implementation similar to the one in part (d), write a new implementation but store the knowledge in variables. Let the program search the arrays to make decisions

Week1 Criminal Homework Help

Case Study

As a rookie officer in the Cityburgh Police Department, you have been assigned to assist Sergeant Smith on three cases. You will be given a set of facts for each suspect and the title of the crime that Sergeant Smith suspects them of committing. You will need to research that crime and its elements and then apply those elements to the facts of the case to determine if the crime actually did occur. All of this analysis must be presented in a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document.

Case 1: Able

Last Thursday, an officer observed Able traveling at a high rate of speed down Main Street. The officer was able to determine that Able was going 20 miles over the posted speed limit. Upon stopping Able, the officer learned that the vehicle’s speedometer was broken and Able was aware that it did not function. Sergeant Smith believes that Able can be charged with reckless driving, under Code of Virginia § 46.2-862.

Case 2: Charlie

An officer brought Charlie in to the station after finding him sleeping on a park bench. Charlie admitted to being out drinking the night before and knowing that the park was closed at dusk. Sergeant Smith believes that Charlie can be charged with public intoxication, under Code of Virginia § 18.2-388.

For both cases, be sure to focus your discussion on the act required by each crime, the intent needed to commit the crime, and any additional issues that may arise from strict liability, missing elements, or the various level of mens rea present.

Note: You can use the Internet to find information about the Virginia Legislative Information System and the specific codes.

FINAL PROJECT 2 Help

Background:  The Clean-N-Shine (“Clean”) owners are meeting with TLG in final consultations before Clean opens business operations.  The purpose of these final meetings is to identify the:

  • areas of business law presenting the greatest potential risk and liabilities for Clean; and
  • areas of business operations vulnerable to potential risks and liabilities for which Clean should seek legal counsel.

Winnie and Ralph have asked you to provide a report that presents your reflections and recommendations based on your research and analysis during the past seven weeks of TLG’s consultation with the Clean owners.

Instructions

The report will have two (2) parts.

Part I.  Risks and Liabilities

A.  Analyze and discuss two (2) areas of business law that present the greatest potential risks and liabilities for the Clean business, from among these areas:

  • Negligence related to any business operations
  • Negligence related specifically to premises liability
  • Strict product liability related to the use of EPI products for Clean services
  • Strict product liability related specifically to the resale of EPI products
  • Contracts with employees
  • Contracts for the sale of goods with clients
  • Agency law and contracts with any Clean agents

For EACH of the two (2) areas of the law selected from the above list, you must:

(1).  Provide a background explanation of the area of law, e.g., negligence, contracts for the sale of goods, etc. (be detailed and specific so any reader can understand the meaning of the specific area of law)

(2).  Analyze and explain the specific potential risks and liabilities presented by the area of law and why and how each area of law creates vulnerability for Clean

(3).  Provide a specific example of why and how the potential risks and liabilities could arise for each area of law for the Clean business

Minimum of 3 paragraphs for EACH of the two areas of risks and liabilities you choose to discuss (total of 6 paragraphs, minimum)

Citations required : Remember to use in-text citations in the narrative for all reference works and full citations on a separate Resources page.

Part II.  Legal Counsel

During the past eight weeks, we have discussed and emphasized the importance of the Clean owners seeking business advice from TLG and the importance of Clean –  and every business –  seeking legal counsel from an attorney for various aspects of business operations.

In Part II, you are to reflect on your experience in consulting with the Clean owners, your research and analysis, and make the following recommendations.

A.  Evaluate and explain why you recommend that the Clean owners seek legal counsel with an attorney for any  – or all – aspects of its business operations, i.e., contract writing, procedures to protect against negligence risks, recruitment policies, etc. 

  • Explain and support the rationale for your recommendation specifically, in detail and comprehensively, using examples, personal experience(s), etc.
  • Consider specific areas of business operations for which it is particularly important to seek legal counsel

Note:  There is no single correct answer; the detailed, specific rationale and support for your recommendation is most important.

It is not necessary to cite resources in Part II for your personal opinion, but you must include a citation each time you do use information from a specific resource (i.e., from assigned course materials) to support your conclusions.

Minimum of 3 paragraphs

Family Disaster Plan Summative Assessment Homework Help

For this paper you must cite and reference 2 sources. The paper should be 2–3 pages and written using current APA format. Your paper should address the following:

a. How would you prepare for the following situation?  (provide realistic examples and details for safety and survival)

(Scenario) At this moment, you are sitting at home working on your WCU class. Suddenly, the National Weather Bureau sends an alert across your cell phone—a tornado is headed your way. You have 15 minutes before touchdown in your neighborhood. What is your plan? This is a ‘shelter in place’ scenario, you cannot outrun the tornado. Identify a safe place in your home to take shelter.

You must include research. Cite and reference two sources and explain the recommended safety measures in a tornado emergency and how you would apply them to your specific living arrangements.

b. How prepared are you in the event of a disaster? Describe your level of disaster preparedness using specific examples and references to your “go-bag” and preparedness checklist assignments.

Example: “I am more prepared for a water-related disaster than a fire-related disaster even though I live in a highly secluded, forested area. I have a boat as transportation in the event of flooding, but I do not have rain barrels or fire barrier supplies on hand.”

Example:  “There were many missing items on my preparedness checklist. I realized that I do not own a flashlight. If I had to use my phone as a light it would drain the battery very quickly. 

c. Reflect on how prepared you were before this class and compare it with how prepared you are now.

  • Have you acquired any new emergency items?
  • Do you plan to take any additional trainings or certification courses?
  • Have you shared your knowledge with friends and family?

Week 7: Adult Development Map activity Help

After completing the Week 7: Adult Development Map activity, respond to the following:

  • The reading this week concluded with a description of integrated perspectives on development with salient examples of theorists who have included the biological, psychological, and sociological perspectives in their models of adult development (for example, Baltes and Magnusson). To understand fully how adult development is linked to adult learning, the text suggested that educators of adults move to multiple explanations of what adulthood is all about, rather than rely on just one or two paradigms. The more we learn about adult learners, the changes they go through, and how these changes motivate and interact with learning, the better we can structure learning experiences that both respond to and stimulate development.
  • Given this information from our readings this week, how do you define adulthood? And what are three key aspects of your definition, as it applies to adult learners in a classroom?
