Job Roles

So today we had to nominate who we thought would be best suited for each role. Given that half the class didn't turn up today, they have no control over what job they are put in for so they can't turn around and demand to be in charge, because they missed the one day they would have that opportunity.

While a lot of people would have wanted themselves to be in the higher up roles, liaison and sort of commanding roles, i was quite happy to step back and put myself down to just work in a team. I know that i have been nominated to do some higher up stuff, but really i don't mind. I know people that would be better at it than me and would rather they did it.

I put Kirk down as the liaison because he's pretty reliable at turning up, i believe he would be confident enough to go to London on his own, should he need to (which several members of the class didn't seem too cool about) and he is hella good at organisation. He can talk between the quality control and the client and i think he will manage very well.

My choice of quality control people i believe were justified, because it will require lots of work and talking and meetings, so i chose people that i think would prefer doing that kind of thing instead of just sitting around typing up case studies and stuff. As a lot of the work will be more keeping track of what's going on, making sure people stick to deadlines and are constantly working, i chose people that would do well in these positions and not just get bored and start messing about. They were the hardest roles to fill because you are counting on the people to work well and efficiently because without them it just can't work.

The 3 group were the easiest to put together. I basically selected people i knew worked well together and put them in a group. I tried not to put too many people together who are unlikely to turn up, but sometimes it's better to simply try and avoid conflict than make people work with each other all the time. For example, there are some people in the class who just can't work with others in the class. It's not that they're being awkward or fussy, some of them have legitimate reasons and just aren't compatible, so i tried to keep them in separate groups.

I put myself in a group with Alie, Philippa and Alex. I would probably have put to work with Tara and Matt again, but i have worked with them a lot and think i should work with other people. I know i get on well with the other 3 people in the group, but i haven't really worked with them much. I think this group would work really well and i hope Nick doesn't mess it up!
