Which one of these 3 places would be our competition and why best buy, food for less or forever 21?
3 Answers↳
Forever 21 , retail store with similar trending outfits and low prices
↳
Forever 21 considering the demographic and consumer you are reaching to. Best Buy is more for electronic consumers as well as food for less is for those who seek food, both forever 21 and H&M are the only establishments on this list who specialize in distributing the same merchandise thus making H&M a possible competition .

H&M is brand that people can come to and try better outfits than Forever 21. Out of the three that is been selected to be H&M’s competition would Forever 21 since it’s on the trending list of 2018 where H&M is also apart that trend but it makes a even harder decision for a customer to choose between the two. For my standards I’d go with H&M better options for a professional outfit and an actual fashion statement to start from. Less

Explain you advising philosophy, and how do you use it when working with students?
1 Answers↳
Understanding the theories of Erickson, Kholberg, and Chickering, I am aware of the development process through the adolescent to adult stage. This process can also be used when looking at student development. By adhering to the student's needs, we can assist them in that transition and provide them the needed resources and services that will hopefully develop into student success. As advisors, that is what we strive for, even if it is straying from the path they want, we should be able to offer other areas of exploring to find a field that can succeed in, personally and professionally.

It's on HireVue, with two managers and all of you will be on the camera and they will ask you questions about yourself then proceed to role playing. Just make sure you provide empathy followed by the resolution. Also have questions to ask them like why do they enjoy working at apple and what's the most difficult thing new advisors face. Less
