Personal Professional Development paper
I have a lot of dreams to achieve and the first step to achieve my dreams is to be a successful person that every one can depend on, and learn as much as I can to understand the concept of everything. I love working in groups and helping people with all what I can. My communication skills are better than my writing skills. I love the challenge and the adventure in everything because its get the best to be under pressure. I have learned a lot; but the good thing to make my skills more powerful is with practicing what you have learned in the job, and internships all of this will give you experience. I see my self in 10 to 20 years with Aramco Company and I’m the CEO of the MIS department. I love to work sincerely with everyone around me to accomplish success in the work and among our relationships because the successful businessman needs to have his connections with people and to be more social. People are all different but my concept is treat others as you would like to be treated, and I see this is the good way to be fair with others. I like to learn from my college what I don’t understand and if I had the full understanding of the situation I will help him/her and make them understand it very well, because we are a team each of us have each others back. I do not prefer to work; I can work in any environment contained in respect and appreciation from all coworkers. In my experience most of the people that I worked with are from different countries, and nationality, and religion and that sometime makes it hard. But will give you a lot more experience because your learning new language and new concepts and a lot of other things that I will learn from people that will really help me to be more successful.
My graduation is May 9, 2015 and I feel that I am facing a new life with new doors to be open. I’m a little confused about if I need to continue with my master study MBA or gain more experience in work then continue my masters. I already applied for a job back home in Saudi Arabia, and its really good job. Its an oil company its called Aramco and it’s one of the biggest oil companies in the world and they will give you everything you want in return, they want a hard worker finish what you have assign and coming with new ideas to improve your work. It’s like a contract that you sign with them for ten years and if you deserve to get a scholarship to continue your studies any the will provide to you all comfort thing to make you comfortable and still you will have your salary going and they will pay all of your expenses and thats really good. But if I want to take my master MBA studies and apply for them; I will be put in the fast track and I then I will get that job that you dreamed of with only couple of years but if I applied with my bachelor degree I will take more time but I will have more experience its still a decision for me to make. In the mean time have applied for and OPT Optional Practical Training, and I’m trying to work for a couple mounts or a year for insurance, programing, networking companies I what to be involved with more technology to support my degree MIS Management Information Systems. All of my Family and my professors and the people I trust their opinion they have supported and encourage me to take the OPT if I can and then continue with my MBA because after what you will experience in my job its could change my thinking or go and get my MBA.
MY knowledge is my biggest and strongest way to face my future. I have learned a lot of thing from Indiana State University. I’m really good in communication: speak and write well and get your ideas across to other easily. Also Analyze: Break a problem down to see what is really going on and decision making. Creativity like use your imagination to come up with new ideas or to solve problems. Set goals for yourself to achieve and plan ways to achieve and learn quickly. Take and follow instructions well, and ask questions when you do not fully understand the instructions. Loyal and committed and devoted to things/people that mean a lot to me (my beast friend, country, job/supervisor). My strongest skill is speaking, I speak two languages Arabic and English very fluently. I have studied Arabic and English sins I was kindergarten until now. Listening and reading are also from my strongest arias; I can analyze information from just leasing or reading to it and also I can give fast brief summery. The good about the work is to make connections in all kind of arias.
My weakness is haste some time in the decision making or change the first decision that I have made. And that but me in taking bad decision instead if the right one. And that what make me all the time be really carful when I will take my final decision. I need to know all of the main information about the case or the problem to solve it. My writing skill is one of my weaknesses because I take my time to but my ideas together, and I have more than one idea at once and I don’t know how to organize all the ideas at once and that what takes me a long time to write. Usually I get batter grades when I write at home better than in class assignment.
My plans to do after graduation, is to work harder on my strengths and weaknesses to improve them and give my skills more quality to succeed in my future job and that every one dream is to be successful. My family now is encouraging me to take my bachelor in MIS and return back home to work because they do not what me to loose the job, but I’m trying my best to finish my MBA before return back home to gain more knowledge that will help me in my future life and to experience how is the work proses in the United States.
Strategic training and Development
There where a lot of things to follow in the BUS 401 class, its like a challenge who can provide more in every area or who can learn and understand the concepts and use what he have from knowledge in the café. I have learned a lot of things that I thought I would never use it. The café is like one body and we are the organizations that lead this body to function 100% five days a week. We had Accounting, Human Resources, marketing, and operations and these are the Functional teams for the café. Each team have is roll to do in the café and not everyone in each team are in the have the same major but we need to work it out.
Most of my strategic training came from my classes that I have toke in ISU, and they where really helpful for me to work in the café. I toke BUS 351 Intro to Operation Management (Supply Chan management) and its helped us bring in the inventory, food, drinks very thing else. The operation team began to track how many food items we have sale and what did we wasted and what the café need from upgrades for the pizza and soda and cafe venders. And that helped us a lot in knowing when we need to increase or decrease the amount of products that we need for this week for the café. BUS 361 Principles of Marketing concepts helped me to understand the survey of entire field of marketing. Emphasis on the areas of products, pricing, distribution and promotion that helped us a lot Marketing for new items in the café. Also Principles of Accounting BUS 201 and 202 these two classes helped us in the financial accunting and how statements are used for decision making and also reporting. ECON 100, 200, 201 we have learned the concept of presents the essential features of the field of macroeconomics to convey an understanding of how a market economy functions at the aggregate level. Major elements include: national income accounting, unemployment, inflation, investment, aggregate demand and supply, the monetary system, stabilization policy, economic growth, and international trade. Also microeconomics to explain the nature, and function of markets, and the behavior of households and firms in the market context. Major elements include: opportunity cost, supply and demand analysis, consumer theory, theory of the firm, and market structure. BUS 371 Management and Organizational behavior class I have used what I understand in the BUS 371 to overview of our management processes and functions in organizations that including study of the behavior of individuals in our organizations, and interpersonal communications, and organizational theory. And an appreciation of the role of management in an organization’s success. Most of these classes that I had toke helped me to success in the BUS 401 class because all of these theories and concept when we counted them together its will pant the big picture for us and that is you could not be successful in your job by your self, you need everyone support at work to make the work dune. That is an example how big you are you need to remember you are only 1% of the whole organization we need the other 99% to quadrate to build a successful future for the organization. That what happen in our final presentation the people who presented toke all of the credit and the people who did the work they did not have a chance to present and to choose who will present. Each person need to have his/ her fair share of work, and from then we can decide if the student did his/her part and then consequences, but there are no consequences for who did not do the work. I liked everything about the class but there where some loss ends we did not worked on it. Most or all of our Scot College Of Business classes are grope work and from that we need to know and understand that ISU is encourages us to take variety chances to work with more than one group to have the experience in how to deal with bad situations. In the other hand in your future job you will work with one group and you need to deal with where problems.
I would like to be a successful businessman, and that will happen when me and my coworkers supporting each other and Do what you should do whenever it is imperative you have to do whether you act like or not, and also when we United we will stand, but if we divided we will fall we need to remember these kind of things to keep claiming up. If I worked with these kinds of people I guarantee that we will improve more in the company and I will add more new skills everyday. Its one of my dreams to work for a big company and be able success and get from a higher to anther positions all because of my qualifications and for what I can do for the company.

Ordering procedure:
I'm assigned to order from Baesler's, Most of our food and snacks is from Baesler's How we determine want kind of food and snacks that we need for the cafe? Is by taking estimate for how much food and snacks did we sale in each week and from that we can determine what we need to buy. We meet in class every week and we discuss everything regarding ordering products and how much did we sale, and if there anything regarding adding new products or canceling products that had not sale well, and ordering more products. I contact Kris from Baesler's and send him an email with a CC for Chad Bell Operation manager regarding what items that we need for the café we usually the order will be in Excel file that we send to Baesler's, we take the same Excel file and post it in google drive. We make our order in the end of each week to make the order ready for who the pick up the order in the beginning of each week. Usually we order the total amount that we use to pay for Baesler's in first couple weeks 276.90$ and that staid the same for couple weeks. But that have changed after couple weeks because we began to sale more products, our price went up to 337.78$ that is around 60.88 $ increase and that is good because we are selling more products and we are having more customers coming from the college of bossiness and college of technology and other targets to the café because the café began to have more variety food item from more than one place have make some changes in increasing the number of customers.
We did not face any kind of major problems with Baesler's. Except one time the sandwiches where not wrapped very well and they fixed the problem for the next week order. And also when the health inspector who came and saw that the sandwiches from Baesler's didnt have the making date and when it did expired and Baesler's address, because the sandwiches and the other products form sodexo have the making date and when did it expire, and sodexo address. We emailed Baesler's about the situation to be aware that they need to fix their problem.We recommend that we keep a good business with Baesler's and to purchase new lest of items form them. Also try to use new product from Baseler’s.
I work in the café every Monday and Wednesday from 12:20 to 1:50 pm. When I go to work in the café after sign up the attendance sheet I go and check if all of the ordered have submitted then check the freezers temperature and then check the soda venders if it working good or not because usually we will not know its empty until one of our customer says that there is no soda and then we go and fix the problem but that will take a lot of time for you fix the problem and also that is wasting of the customer time. That why I usually check everything, Sometimes its coffee we need to make new one each three hours sometimes no one estimates the time correctly. Nobody checks to full the ice vender in Monday and Wednesday I usually find it really empty and the customers want ice for their drinks. We need to manage more of who will do what in the shift. After that I get in than help my college who is working with me to help them with cashier register or making coffee, moca, and lattes. I had helped twice by going to sums club and processing the products for the café because there is no one can get items on time. I went couple times to Papa John’s to make the payment. Also there where two times I went to Baesler's the first time was about the sandwiches bags that Baesler’s did not wrapped the sandwiches really good and they fix the problem for the next week order. The second time that I went to baesker’s was about making new lest of food items that we can sell in the café with reasonable price after 48 hours Kris from Baesler’s sent me the new list of items. I emailed it to Chad Bell and Jared jones, to show it to the new technology and pick from the list.
Griffin Bike Park
After all of the work that we did in the café and it’s ruing really good and the work began to be routine work, our professor assign us new program for our class period. Our new project is about griffin bike park it’s a park that its located in Terre Haute IN. its really big and huge park the griffin family have decided that they what to do it as a bike park but they had a big issue the griffin family want sponsors to sponsor the park and their main issue is to use all of empty spaces in the park because its one of the biggest parks in the state.
In the first week after the professor assign us the new project. We did not do anything because no one has assigned me any thing. From the second week we fixed most of our issues we began to search about the park, and about similar parks around in the arias. To see what we can use in the Griffin Bike Park and it was the spring brake everyone had to take vacation. After the spring brake our grope was confused and had no ideas to divide the work. After a week the have decided that they will do two grope internal and external. Toke the internal analyses, we where five people in the internal analyses and five people on the external analyses. I have decided me and Christine that I will work on the strength and weaknesses of the Griffin Bike Park. Because we had a presentation about it to do we have finished we contacted by email to finish our parts me and Christine and Souleyman Nimaga and Jonathon. The day of the presentation I did not find my slide I thought there was error with PowerPoint, and also the other members of our grope they have presented the presentation with out our parts and most of the professor comments where about the our part. After what happen in that presentation our grope decided that they will do the presentation by there own after that Christine and Souleyman Nimaga and Jonathon and me all of the research on the Griffin Bike Park. After couple weeks our group have assign us to write 15 pages paper in the internal analysis Christine and me and Jonathon before the final presentations is due. I was waiting for the presentation day and I want to see what will happen if it will be good or not. But thanks to the guys who did the presentation they deserve greeted.
