EOC: (wk. 2) Sweet Charity; What she did right, what she did wrong.

On the “Sweet Charity” film, I think the actress was very ambitious as she decided that she was fed up with her line of work and went after something different, something better.  She needed a change.  I think she should have researched the way women dress in the work place and what actually happens in the interview.  “Managers have many responsibilities as they recruit, screen, and select the best employees for their operation. Actually, this work begins long before they announce position vacancies. They must develop important recruitment and selection tools that can be used to find the best talent.” (Human Resources, Quality Service & Training, Hospitality & Restaurant Marketing pg. 399).  I also feel that she lacked a lot of confidence in herself and in her abilities.  She should have asked the head hunter if there were training options available for her to sharpen her craft.  “…managers who are committed to training will most often find their staff members committed to providing the quality products and service levels that will lead to their establishment’s success.” (Human Resources, Quality Service & Training, Hospitality& Restaurant Marketing pg. 35) Had she asked about training, which businesses are required to offer, she could have learned that she could further her education, she could have found out if there were any classes that taught her how to do any of the tasks he asked her if she knew how to do.  “Effective training identifies quality standards and helps employees work at levels that meet quality requirements… Training can help make employees more confident in their skills and that helps make them more able to be customer-oriented.” (Human Resources, Quality Service & Training, Hospitality & Restaurant Marketing pg. 236) Training would have assisted her in many ways; teaching her skills that she didn’t possess in order to further her career.
