A reflection on the use of psychology in three areas of life (personal, professional, and academic Reflect on the topics covered in this class so far and write a reflection that ties back to the material you have learned, which describes how these topics relate to different aspects of your life.  consider the following: Describe how you will use psychology in your personal life. Describe how you will use psychology in your professional life. Describe how you will use psychology in your academic careers. Explain any overlap in any of the characteristics, including anything that applies to all three areas.

STEP 1:  JOB ANALYSIS:  Conduct a Functional Job Analysis on your own job (a job/internship/volunteer position you currently hold or a job/internship/volunteer position you have previously held). If you have never held a job, internship, or volunteer position, interview someone you know (who has had a job, internship, or volunteer position – but who is not currently enrolled in this course) to find out all about their job in order to complete this assignment.  As discussed in lecture (and in the textbook), to conduct a Functional Job Analysis, you should go to the o*net website (https://www.onetonline.org/  (Links to an external site.) ), click on “Find Occupations”, type in the name of the job being analyzed into the Keyword search, click on the occupation description that best fits. Copy and paste the summary report into your word document, and then revise this o*net summary report as necessary to have it fit the particular position (and organization) being analyzed (i.e., your particular job at your particular organization) (75 points) Then, play around with the formatting a bit so it looks nice (and doesn’t look like it was just copied and pasted from a website). (75 points). Note: Although small assignments are usually supposed to be double spaced, it is OK to single space your job analysis, or parts of your job analysis, if you would like In your assignment, be sure to specify (i.e., at the top of the assignment) the title of the job (and the name of the organization) that is being analyzed (5 points). Note: This job analysis technique is a bit unique in that, by definition of the technique, you are copying and pasting long phrases and/or whole sentences (word-for-word) directly from a website into your paper. Under normal circumstances, this would not be okay (it would be considered plagiarism) – but in this case, it is OK because it is what the technique calls for.  Please be aware that while copying and pasting word-for-word (and then revising as appropriate to have it fit your particular position) is okay for this Step 1 of assignment, this kind of thing is not okay for Step 2 and Step 3 of this assignment (or for future assignments).  Starting in Step 2 of this assignment (and in the remaining small assignments), you should be writing everything in your own words. STEP 2:  RECRUITMENT Decide (and then indicate) what method you are going to use for recruitment (e.g., will you advertise in a newspaper, internet job site like indeed.com, or job fair?). Find out (and then indicate) how much this method will cost your organization. (75 points) Write up the “position description” that interested people will read (e.g., what will your newspaper ad say?). You should use your job analysis to help you write this – and be sure you include the job specification here (e.g., education or experience requirements). (75 points) STEP 3:  SELECTION Prepare (and include) questions for an interview with the applicant – use questions that would fit the category of a “situational interview” or of a “behavior description interview” (or a mixture of both). You may want to write out some possible “ideal answers”. (75 points) Indicate whether you will administer some other test (e.g., biodata instrument, cognitive ability test, job skills/knowledge test, personality test, in-basket test, leaderless discussion) and if so, what kind of test? If using a personality test or biodata instrument, what answers (or traits) do you think will predict good work performance? (75 points)

Only doing the first two 1 and 2 and its only three slide powerpoint because this is a team project. Rockies Manufacturing Inc. (RMI) is a global manufacturing firm with its corporate headquarters located in Broomfield, Colorado and manufacturing plants spread throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. With over $3 billion in revenue this last year, RMI projects 15% growth in the next fiscal year. As one of the largest privately held companies in the United States, RMI strives to be best in class as a provider of instruments and technical equipment to the growing biogenetic industry. RMI has for more than a decade been a global leader in the provision of complex and sophisticated instrumentation that has been standard equipment in biogenetics labs at major universities and corporations. But the company’s leading position is facing a major challenge from overseas firms that are beginning to provide a broader range of functionality than RMI’s offerings at highly competitive prices. Accordingly, the company wants leadership that can craft, evaluate, and implement innovative solutions that may include improving current product technology, developing new products, reducing costs, and exploiting new national and global markets. As part of RMI’s five year strategic plan, the company is developing a formal leadership training program for its up and coming leaders. The purpose of this program is to equip these designated rising administrators with the leadership skills needed to lead high-performance teams and take RMI to the next level. RMI has hired your company, Leadership Development, Inc., to design and deliver this training. You are meeting with your team today to design the program, which will be a three-day seminar. Your task as a team is to prepare a PowerPoint presentation (10- 15 slides with notes) to RMI’s executive team for their input and approval. The presentation should: Identify the leadership skills and content for the program Design a schedule for the weekend

Understand how the brain and memory process are intertwined and how certain techniques can improve these process. 1. Theoretically how is working memory similar to and different from long term memory 2. How are memories formed in the brain and how are they maintained (neural circuitry)? 3. When is it adaptive to remember and adaptive to forget? 4. Given what we know about the brain machanisms in memory are our memories accurate? 5. How can knowledge of the brain and memory system be used to help individuals suffering from memory problems (ex poor memory,PTSD) 6. Compare e role age and environment play in how memories are formed and maintained.
