Do you think that companies can do without detailed job descriptions? Why or why not?
Answer each question and then reply on one classmate post for each one.
Question 1
Do you think that companies can do without detailed job descriptions? Why or why not?
Do detailed job descriptions give current employees the opportunity to say, “I’m not going to do that because it’s not my job.”?
Classmate answer
There are some companies that are well known for what they produce and what they stand for. Certain jobs that entail retail or the restaurant industry more than likely don’t require a detailed job description. I think for big and small unknown companies and even well known companies with unknown positions need job descriptions. I believe that a job description can make or break a applicants decisions based on where they see themselves and what they want to do. Job descriptions list what is required of their applicants for a reason because if you just go in blindly then you might make a big mistake and end up wasting your time. I do believe that detailed job descriptions give current employees the opportunity to say, “I’m not going to do that because it’s not my job.” I have seen it happen before to a company who would have made the employee question their morals and ethics, the employee stood up and stated that they didn’t have to go against their morals/ethics and do that task because it wasn’t in the description when they signed the contract so they weren’t obligated to do so. Job descriptions overall are important but I can see how some would have one and some wouldn’t have one.
Question 2
When recruiting, how could you ensure that you are not inadvertently violating equal employment laws?
Classmate answer
Recruitment process is one of the most important for businesses because it dictates the future of the business by dictating the talents the company attracts. Various issues might arise during this process that might be considered unfair or unethical. During the process, it is important to ensure that none of the employment laws are violated and to do so, a hiring manager or an organization should start as early as advertising. The first step to a free and fair recruitment is ensuring that the job advertisement does not state or imply job restriction to people on the basis of personal attributes such as gender, race, age among others. The advertisement should avoid language that relates to specific attributes and follow a standard set criterion. Business owners and recruiting managers should actively avoid discrimination during an interview process by only asking the questions that focus on professional and skill based qualifications. The interview questions should not focus on the protected area. For instance, asking a woman if she intends to have children during their time in the company or asking a candidate how their religious beliefs might impact the organization bring out an element of discrimination. Another important way of preventing the violation of employment laws is by avoiding unconscious bias. We are all biased in different ways and during an interview, an interviewer should avoid showing excessive empathy to someone of the same gender or race. The last and most important way of preventing the violation of employment laws is offering jobs based on ability.
Question 3
Oftentimes, when we check references, the only thing that former employers are willing to say is, “John was employed here from 2010-2014.” They are not willing to say anything negative about the employee for fear of retribution.
Explain some ways you would dig deeper to get the real truth out of former employers in order to get a better picture of whether or not an applicant would be a good fit for your organization.
Classmate answer
The first step in “digging deeper” would be asking the applicant if it is possible to contact a former employer. You need to make sure the applicant is okay with you contacting their previous employer. If they say yes, they are confident in their work ethic there and have no problem with you speaking to their former employer. If they say no, this can lead to some suspicion and make you wonder why they do not want you speaking to them. At the same time, if the former employer says negative things about the applicant, you could possibly directly or indirectly discriminate them which could lead to other problems.
I think a great way to dig deeper is doing a legal background check with consent. Another thing that may help is asking the applicant if they have been fired or voluntarily resigned from their former employers. If they resigned, you can ask why they made the decision. If they were fired, you can ask what caused it and what are the reasons for it. This will help you get a better picture of the applicant.

In what context do you imagine you will encounter impromptu speeches (or presentations) in the future?
Fundamentals of Public Speaking
Impromptu Speech Assignment Imagine attending a meeting where your company is hosting important stakeholders. You are extremely familiar with the topic of discussion, which is a project that you and your team has been working on for the last few months. You have planned and practiced your part of the presentation however, you must also answer an array of questions that the stakeholders may ask. This is just one example of the many impromptu, or unplanned presentations we are likely to encounter in our personal and professional lives. There is nothing like being put on the spot and feeling like you have had no time to prepare. However, with the right tools and communication strategies, AND a little bit of practice, you can be more prepared for these types of scenarios than you’d think. The purpose of this speech is to practice delivering impromptu presentations so that you can hone your delivery skills and build confidence to succeed in these types of presentations in the future. The context for this speech is: You have been asked to speak at Stony Brook University’s new student orientation. You are
one member of a panel of current Stony Brook students who will answer questions about your experience at the university, posed by incoming students.
You will have to respond to one question about your experience at as a Stony Brook student. You will not know the question until it is your turn to present. You might be thinking that means you don’t need to prepare ahead of time. Wrong! There are a number of things you can and should do to prepare for this presentation:
1. Remember why are you on this panel. You are a student at SBU and are being asked to speak about your experience as a college student. You are already an expert on this topic, so you can rest assured that you will not be asked a question that you don’t already know the answer to. None of these questions have a right or wrong answer. They are simply based on your experience. For example, one question might be: What do you like most about being a student at SBU?
2. You might not know the question but you do know the topic of discussion. To prepare for your question, spend some time reflecting on your experience as an SBU student so far. Here are some things to consider: likes; dislikes; expectations vs actual experience; athletics; student organizations; campus services; online courses; living arrangements; application process; etc. There is no need to go out and find/memorize information about Stony Brook. This is about your experience.
3. When you are asked the question, don’t jump right into your response. Take a few seconds to gather your thoughts, think about the one or two main point(s) you want to get across. How can you grab the audience’s attention or peak their interest in your first sentence? Begin your response, and remember to end with something memorable and uplifting. Perhaps you tie back to your opening line, offer them a call to action for the future, or find some point of connection between you and them.
4. Set the right emotional tone. This key to successful impromptu speeches. Keep in mind
COM 120: Fundamentals of Public Speaking
who is in the audience. You are talking to new SBU students. They are likely new to college life, nervous, excited, and look up to you. Think about what else you might be able to infer about them based on your own experience as a new SBU student. How can you use your delivery to help put them at ease and feel welcome? Rather than get lost in what you are trying to say, keep your focus on those incoming students in the audience and what they need most from you.
Length: 1 min 30 seconds – 2 minutes 30 seconds Personal Reflection: After you present your impromptu speech, you will write a 2-3 page (double-spaced) reflection on your speech. Please format this as you would a final paper, rather than just “filling in” your responses into a worksheet. In your reflection, you should address the questions listed below. Use specific examples from your speech to support your statements.
1. In what context do you imagine you will encounter impromptu speeches (or presentations) in the future? This could be in either your professional or personal life. Please share some examples.
2. What are two things that you did well and in the delivery (e.g., eye contact, posture,
facial expressions, tone of voice, etc.) of this speech? What are two things that you did well in terms of the content you shared?
3. Looking back, what could you have done to enhance the delivery of this speech? What could you have done to enhance the content of this speech?
4. What can you say about the organization of your speech? Did it follow the introduction –
body – conclusion format? What could you have done to improve the organization of this speech?
5. Do you feel like you set an appropriate emotional tone and provided adequate
information for an audience of new SBU students? Why or why not? If you feel like the emotional tone could have been strengthened, please explain how.
6. Did you use language that an audience of new SBU students could easily understand?
Was there “jargon” present? What impact did you think your language had on the tone of the speech and your credibility?
7. What have you learned from your impromptu speech? How can you build on this experience and improve before your next speech? Keep in mind for your next speech you will use an outline to plan your talking points.
