Associate Degree Course Success Story

blog-19-imageI just completed the How to Evaluate and Predict Human Behavior Course which covers just that, as part of my associate degree program. This was a great journey for me. Even though it took me more than the expected time to finish it, I successfully applied it in real life situations back home in Brazil in my family and company.

For me to be able to really evaluate and predict human behavior, handle human relations and understand how people behave based on the knowledge in the Chart of Human Evaluation by Mr. Hubbard is just amazing! I am now trained and well equipped for ideal handlings of situations I might encounter in my life with friends and relatives or in my company with my staff members.

I am really glad that I learned this data in my Associate Degree Program because now I know and understand the importance of others having this data so they as well are able to handle things like I did or even bigger things.

Associate Degree Success Story

blog-18-imageCompleting the associate degree has been a very long journey for me. At times I felt I would never finish. But the knowledge I have gotten has been well worth the trek.

Before I started the associate degree, I felt that I was a “smart” enough guy to be able to start and run a business. As I progressed I realized that there was so much information that I had been missing. And each step along the way I have added a tool to my belt. One of the great things about Hubbard College of Adminstration is that I was able to use each of my new tools as I got them, and boy did I!

Each time I would complete a course, I would find myself using everything I learned without having to think about it. I could see that things that were difficult could be made much easier by just doing what I learned. I can’t begin to tell you how often I use the knowledge that I’ve gained. It isn’t like I have to put effort out to do something or remember what to do, I just do it. It makes life a whole lot easier. Every day I run across things that I do because of the knowledge I have. It’s innate to me.

An executive is someone who gets things done. That is a statement that could be mistaken as somewhat of a small requirement. We all get things done, don’t we? But in fact when you work in the real world the majority of people don’t have the ability to do just that, get things done. This I feel is the greatest thing I have gained from my associate degree. There isn’t a single aspect of a business I feel I couldn’t get done as the executive. I have the  entire wherewithal I need to really get it done, no matter what it is.

I don’t have a single favorite part of the associate degree program. Every course fits together to really create a full understanding, which you don’t fully have until you have done every course.

I know I will use everything I’ve learned for the rest of my life, and I am so glad that I made the decision to get the knowledge I now have.

The Challenging Career Education You’ve Been Looking For

blog-17-imageWith This Management Degree, You’ll be an Executive Godsend

Companies are letting go of a lot of jobs, this is true. What is not true however is that it is impossible to find a job. When people go for an interview, they just have nothing to show their potential employer that they accomplished something in life.

All they ever did was read, read and read. This might get you some grades, but does it give you any experience and real results in life? Not really.

I remember going to a company to apply my basic organization theory course. I had to make an Organizing Board and create an organized and trained group of people.
I had such an amazing time doing it.

Studying is one thing, but actually doing it is a whole different ball game.

After I was looking at my final product, an organized company who knew exactly its purpose and goal as a company and who had an organizing board they could use, I was just so sure that I could apply this to any company, and more importantly my life.

See an organization doesn’t always just mean a business; you organize your life constantly right? You decide when you get dinner, you organize that in your schedule. You organize parties for your friends, you organize how you are going to invite them, you organize who is going to bring the drinks. You organize.

So why would you not want to be able to organize a whole company? It’s the same thing, just on a bigger scale. It’s not hard at all.

“Yeah, you make it sound easy, but I have a company of (only 3)/(20)/(500) employees.” It doesn’t matter, the organizing board assigns responsibilities to persons and just indicates what their product is and what their goal is.

blog-17-image-2Each job and post has its own purpose in a company, even if one person does a whole lot, if you can put them all in its correct place, it’s ORGANIZED.

I encourage every frustrated CEO who does all the work in his company by himself to check out this course. It’s vital to you.

And I encourage every student out of high school, or college student to come do some of these amazing courses or even get started on the Associate Degree.

Lots of schools can give you an administration degree, but what they often can’t give you is competence in your ability to DO.

The Hubbard College of Administration can.

Finally, A College That Helps You Find A Job

blog-16-imageNo More MBA Street Sweepers

So you graduated university. Awesome.
So you scored well on your tests. Awesome.
So you want to start making money. Grrreat… We’ll get right on that…

Ya right.

I like America for a lot of things, but the general schooling is one thing I don’t agree with. Universities cost a ton of money and teach you a lot of things you aren’t going to use later. It’s sad to see so many people spend so much money on ‘college’ and then get stuck in this horrible drag with no way to ever pay back their college debt.

You finish college; got this huge debt and you need to find a job. You’ll probably start off by calling your mom, see if you can crash there for a short while. Of course you can.

The first weeks you’re back, you just want to have some vacation. I mean you just graduated right?! A month goes by and you are feeling confident, and start searching for some job applications. Hmmm, there aren’t many jobs available right now… Oh here’s one!

The interview didn’t go so well, they were looking for someone with experience. You didn’t have that yet, because college only taught you to KNOW stuff in your career education, not to DO stuff.

blog-16-image-2You can’t get a job for a while, you then start giving blame. It’s the economy’s fault! It’s the evil corporations! At first it seems to be that way, until you just start blaming the most random things, it’s that one girls’ fault! It’s “that dinner I had Friday’s fault. It just stops making sense and you get scared, and then get sad and then hopeless.

This is how it goes.

So you want to change that? Awesome.
So you want to get a life and start a career? Awesome!
And you want to start making money right after college? Sure, we can help you with that.

That’s Hubbard College of Administration, every student who has graduated has been assisted in getting a job in the field they are interested in. The school has contact with a great number of companies throughout the world who are alumni or just familiar with the results the Associate degree students produce.

Companies are looking for people who can DO stuff, and do them right. Many of my friends here have graduated and could immediately decide to start working at a place they would like to work at.

There is always job placement, there is never an exception. A graduate will ALWAYS find a job when they graduate.

I want to start my own company and be an entrepreneur. I am going to work back in my own country for a while at my dads’ welding company and during that time I will apply the tools I learned here at the college to create a plan to launch my business after about a year.

So if you’re having any trouble with finding a job or your current college’s education, let me know.
