These outfits are professional business outfits. I feel that they are appropriate because they are dark in color they aren't tight and close to the skin. The skirt is right at the knee level and the jackets aren't tight. Also they are conservative and don't expose too much skin and they have minimal jewelry plus the outfits are clean and pressed. This is to me is appropriate to work in a business setting.

Chapter 2 #3

Upon reading this chapter I realized that I have a long way to go before becoming a good professional administrative. I don't have a lot of the skills needed to become a good professional from the outer appearance to the inner works. The biggest thing I realize that I need to change is my self confidence and my work ethics, I honestly did not realize how much work it took and how sometimes things need to be sacrificed (a lunch hour here and there) to get certain things done. I did not know that there are different levels to a business outfit and that there was a business casual there is so much it is a bit overwhelming. I need to become more positive as well I used to be negative to the extreme when I was younger now its not so bad but I am not one of those people who radiate happiness and good vibes (yet I hope to get there some day). I have to say I wish to be like that and I am a bit envious because they have the self confidence and they have people naturally gravitate towards them and I don't have that natural ability. Also I realize that my Blogs are very casual and that they would not do in a business setting and that I should probably work on changing this.

Areas of Growth for Fall Semester 2014

I admit I have to focus on my organizational skills and neatness there is so many things that I hadn't put much thought into or just pushed aside. I want to up the skills that I have I want to become more organized and I want to become a neater person as I am messy. I also wish to become more confident vs how awkward I become and how shy and reserved I become when I meet some one new. Recently I realized that my habits can come across as me being arrogant when in reality I become reserved because I tend to become very awkward and don't know how to handle situations. My goal is to become more self confident and to take charge of things instead of letting things pass me by because I fear making mistakes I will work on becoming more confident in all aspects possible.

Skills I Currently Posses

I don't know what would be considered my skills for an administrative position. I know that I have good keyboarding skills, I can quickly learn my way around a computer and I can quickly learn about technology and how to work it. If I don't happen to know how to work with a certain device or how to do something I take the initiative and look up how to do it because it bothers me not knowing and being unable to do something so I research it as much as I can before proceeding to tinker with the devices or the problem. I do my best to be polite and I have a lot of patience I don't like arguing so I do my best to figure things out and propose solutions when I am presented with a challenge or a problem.  I have to say I am honest to a fault I don't like to omit things or have half truths and if I happen to make a mistake I own up to it I wouldn't push it on anyone else.

Hi!!

Hello, I am new to the whole blogging scene and am a little confused at where to start! I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Crystal Flores I am 25 years young and a student at Modesto Junior College. I wish to become a speech pathologist some day but for now I am taking classes that may be helpful in the future. I love to read, dance, draw and if it hasn't become apparent yet I like to write :) I am excited about transferring in a year if it all goes well and works out for me I wish to transfer to either CSU Fresno or University of Oregon. Uh what else can I say? I don't know that is it I suppose I hope I did not write too casually for this blog's purposes but I hope that as I become more experienced I will learn to correct myself.
