The video was very good and educational, it broke down the crisis for me better than reading the information in our text and in other publications. AIG just kept getting deeper and deeper into the subprime mortgage market until their firm finally collapsed.
I feel lucky I was able to stay clear of the credit crisis, and it is just pure luck or the fate of events during the time before the credit crisis fell hard. I was in-between jobs in 2007, I also had surgery scheduled during this “down time”. I helped a friend my mine with her business cleaning houses. It wasn’t a glam job, but it helped to pay the bills. During this time I had two great interviews, one with a small financial investment company, they were looking for an admin. assistant. Since they were small, they could not cover any kind of benefits, however, it would be a start up position as they had never had an admin. assistant before. The other interview was for an admin. assistant for a realty company that had been in business for a long time. Both interviews went great and both wanted to hire me. Because of my surgery I could not take either position, as I would not be able to work 4-6 weeks.
While I was still recuperating from my surgery, I sent my resume to several blind ads. One blind ad was for the company I currently work for and I have been employed with them for 10 years. I am so thankful I did not take the job with the financial investment firm or with the realty company. The realty company is still in business, I am not sure of the financial investment firm. I would have been looking for a job again if I would have taken one of those positions. And that would have led to a foreclosed home among other things. I feel very fortunate.

On April 15, she orally contracts to buy Frank’s house for $100,000, with the closing (transfer of the deed) to take place on June1. Frank’s lawyer, who is out of town on vacation, is to draft a written contract of sale on his return to his office on May 15. Because Frances’s lease is terminating, Frank agrees to let her take possession of the house on May 1 if Frances gives him a down payment on the house of $5,000. Frances agrees and gives Frank the $5,000. She moves into the house on May 2, and the following weekend plants trees in the back yard. On May 10, Frank receives a written offer from Green to buy Frank’s house for $120,000. Frank accepts Green’s offer, asks Frances to move out of the house, and tries to return the $5,000 to Frances.

Data Retrieval

Use the 2014 Fourth Quarter spreadsheet for this deliverable.

Take the original spreadsheet and delete the columns that will not be necessary in your analysis.

In the same Excel spreadsheet, create a new tab called “Module 03 Explanation”. In the Module 03 Explanation tab, provide an explanation on the fields that you will use and the fields that you eliminated. What was your reasoning?

Submit the edited spreadsheet with only the fields you will use to determine if the sales consultants are in policy.

Save your spreadsheet as a Microsoft Excel.

Note: I’m including notes from the instructor below and including the overview I did (which received a 100 score) and the information from mod 1.

Materials in Module 1, (attached below) will give you the information you need to know what data you will want to keep on the spreadsheet for analysis. Here are some examples:

Mr. Lopez expects this team to provide:

Summary of sales consultants not adhering to policy

Sales consultants that may be in policy but behaviors are trending toward noncompliance.

Mr. Lopez expressed the need not only to look for outliners using ANox Pharmaceutics

Sales Consultant Selling Practices Policy P1029 – Year 2014, but to analyze the data beyond the policy and look for any trends that may indicate potential noncompliance of the policy.

A contract between ANox Pharmaceutics and its client is bound to a minimum and maximum amount.

The minimum sales amount per contract must be $500.00.

The maximum sales amount per contract cannot exceed $10,000.

nytimes.com-Jason Fried of Basecamp on the Importance of Writing Skills.pdf

The article attached above was posted on The New York Times “Job Market” website and appeared in the September 3, 2017 issue of the newspaper. Journalist Adam Bryant interviews Jason Fried of Basecamp, a web application development company that created Ruby on Rails. Fried has some important things to say about getting a job.

Read this article and pay particular attention to Fried’s answers to the questions “How do you hire?”, “So you give writing tests or ask for samples?”, and “What career and life advice do you give to new college grads?”.

Then, in this discussion forum, write your response to Fried’s recommendations. You should address issues such as Fried’s comments that

1. “The majority of our communication is written”

2. “I don’t like chat services” for business

3. “If you don’t write a cover letter, and you just email us a resume, you’re out”

You should write about 300 words. You do not need to respond to other students’ comments, but you certainly are welcome to do so if you wish.
