Proposed HR Research Topic: How do HR managers select the most effective people for positions within their organization?
The HR questions I’m trying answer: What tools are used to select qualified individuals for positions? What makes an individual more qualified than the other?
Chapter learning goals the HR topic is linked to: CH 4 – Job Analysis and the talent management process, CH 5 – Personnel planning and recruiting, CH 6 – employee testing and selection and CH 7 – interviewing candidates.
The reason why you selected the HR research topic: I’ve been in the federal government going on 7 years now (In January) and I’ve applied for a number of jobs in that time frame. I’ve received request for interviews and even job offers, but for those positions where I didn’t receive an offer, I always asked why. I knew I was qualified for the position why didn’t I receive the offer? Was it because I actually wasn’t qualified, did I perform poorly in my interview or did hiring managers already have someone in mind as far as the selection is concerned? Another reason I would like to dig into this topic more is; we spend tens of thousands of dollars going to further our education so we can get better jobs. Is having a degree actually something HR managers look for or, would someone with 10 years of experience and no college degree get picked over someone with a college degree?

Broadly Defined Theme: La Frontera/The Border, as Witnessed in Three Genres: poem; essay/prose-poem; film. Key phrases to think about: borders to cross, inter- culturally (between cultures) and/or intra-culturally (within a culture); border between authority and subjection; border between a dream and reality.

(3) Film: Maria, Llena de Gracia/Maria, Full of Grace, 2004, written/directed by Joshua Marston.
Requirements are similar to the requirements for paper #1: Accurate MLA style documentation/formatting; five (5) typed double-spaced pages of your text; quote(s) cited; your own unique title; peer draft, approx. 3 pp. due in class Wed., Nov. 4; Work(s) Cited page.
Conferences: Monday, Nov. 2, all classes (priority to those who have not met with me) Suggestions for Approaching Paper #2:
“How to Tame a Wild Tongue”
[1] Source: p. 35, Q. #2, Questions for a Second Reading: Judging by your responses, many of you have an excellent grasp on the concept of “…Wild Tongue” – the duality Anzaldua discusses; the tug-of-war regarding a mix of languages and dialects; the border between oneʼs true self, and the identity perceived by others, for example, those in the role of authority. So you may expand on your responses re: How you read this “crazy dance”; when, where, how you worked through your frustrations as a reader to find, perhaps, some commonality with the choice to cast an untraditional text such as Anzalduaʼs.
[2] Source: p. 35, Q. #3, Questions for a Second Reading: Refer to the assignment sheet [hard copy or scanned on BBOARD]: How Anzaldua works through her unconventional text as an argument. This question focuses on stages in her argument; possibly speculating on where her argument follows a logical development, or tends more toward an argument justifying her struggle for identity.
[3] Source: pp. 38, 39, Making Connections, Q. #2: This question would appeal to students who feel they have more to say when faced with a “compare/contrast” paper. The questions basically asks you to “…reread Brian Doyleʼs ʻJoyas Voladorasʼ, looking for [metaphorical] moments that can be discussed with/against Anzalduaʼs moments of metaphor – the “tongue” being the most obvious, regarding restraint, language

“prohibition” – and the “wild tongue” identity Anzaldua embraces, as Doyle embraces the heart.
Maria Llena de Gracia/Maria Full of Grace:
[1] Again, keeping “la frontera” in the back of your mind, think about the “borders” Maria is confronted with crossing: A young girlʼs dreams for a better life versus the reality of ingesting pellets of heroin in order to cross over to her ideal world.
[2] You could do a relatively short research paper on a focused aspect of the “mule” as occupation – looking at aspects such as “profiling” [is there an “ideal mule”, in terms of the business authoritiesʼ needs, who is “recruited”?]; statistics: how many return to Colombia [in this case] safely? How many disappear , or are arrested – and what, if any, is a potential solution to diminishing the corruption around this business?
[3] In Ways of Reading: Panopticism, Michel Foucault, p. 185: “They are like so many cages, so many small theaters, in which each actor is alone, perfectly individualized and constantly visible…visibility is a trap.” — Here is a starter passage to get you thinking about the authorities [police, heroin dealers] – and how the “actors” (Maria, Blanca, Lucy, ) are being scrutinized as human machines void of emotional consideration: Ultimately, their behavior is governed by those who pay their salaries.
The New Bathroom Policy at English High School:
[1] Compare/contrast: In “…Wild Tongue” and “…Bathroom Policy” there is a language issue, and each author implies that there is a political, social, gender “border” to consider in remedying the language barrier. Both Anzaldua and Espada are the speakers, observing personal situations. Anzaldua considers male/female and the “dominant” language; Espada speaks on the authority between the male students and the [male Principal and the decisions those in authority are entitled to make.
[2] in Panopticism, Ways of Reading
# Each individual, in his place, is securely confined to a cell for which he is seen
# from the front by the supervisor; but the side walls prevent him from coming in
# contact with his companions. He is seen, but he does not see; he is the object of
# information, never a subject of communication. (185 – 186)
For this one, youʼd want to look at the photos in “Panopticism” to get an idea of the Panoptic concept of the prison. Then, speculate on how the poem recalls a metaphoric “scenario” similar to the Panoptic structure. Consider: From the boysʼ point of view, what comes up around the issues of communication, language, or otherwise? – being “seen”? being “objects”? OR from the Principalsʼʼ mind set: What comes up that recalls Panoptic surveillance/supervision, authoritarian decisions based on communication (or lack thereof)? Also to think about: Whether the roles of authority can overlap or be interchanged, based on who you perceive to be in the passive role or the aggressive role: the boys, or the Principal?
Write an analytical essay that draws on your description of this commerica
Begin by formulating a set of questions to ask about the wider
significance of this example of communication. Your paper needs to be more than just
descriptive of what the communication example means. It should provide critical insights into or
an argument about the importance or significance of this example to society or culture more
broadly. And it should link this to analytic frameworks from the readings (for example; historical
frameworks, frameworks for understanding how discourse functions in relations to institutional
structures or interpersonal communication, etc).
• How might you relate this communication event to other social, political, economic,
cultural, aesthetic phenomena?
• Consider what connections you might be able to make between this instance/example of
communication and other communication.
• Draw upon key concepts, theoretical or critical approaches/frameworks that we have been
covering in the course to help answer the questions that you framed about the event. Be
sure to properly cite the texts that you are drawing on, paraphrasing, or quoting
directly (engage at least 2 readings). Do this by putting author’s name, page # in
parenthesis; if you cite an author who isn’t in the reader, do the same and also list the text
in a bibliography.
• Describe some of the limits to your interpretation and/or challenges to understanding the
issues you take up.
