As a small business it is important to meet the needs of all guest that visit the establish-ment and that means that hiring the right kind of employee is a major priority for Los Poblanos, said Los Poblanos Inn Manager Nancy Kinyanjui.

Being a small business means that when an individual is hired they may work many different jobs, she said.

“We really have focused on hiring people that want to work in this industry and are looking for a unique opportunity to learn more than one hat or job while working in hospitality, she said.

When someone is hired to work the front desk they will be trained on that job but they may also learn how to do housekeeping and some janitorial, she said.

It is important for students to enter into different internships in the fields that they are choosing to study so they can receive hands on experience in those fields, Kinyanjui said.

That kind of educational process is very important because once a student has the opportunity to work in the field they may decide that it is not what they wanted and can then move on to some-thing that better suits them, she said.

“We have some people that work many jobs and we really push the idea that you should not be hired to just do one thing but actually be involved in many aspects of the business,” Kinyanjui said.

Students are ideal to hire because they are so full of energy and ready to approach the workforce head on, she said.

Being able to have a diverse college expe-rience will help all students once they gradu-ate, she said.

Anytime a student is approaching the work force there are many things that they need to remember and that can help them get hired, she said.

“The enthusiasm and energy that a stu-dent possess is amazing and is something that is greatly desired here at Los Poblanos,” Kinyanjui said.

Some of the other things that we would like to get students involved in is if they want

to work hospitality then they better know how to do guest services, she said.

If someone is studying to work with people then they better know how to talk and handle many different attitudes that they may run into, she said.

“If you want to help people and make them comfortable during their stay then you

better know how to greet them with some-thing more than just a hello,” Kinyanjui said.

A student should also research the place that they are apply-ing to so that way the potential employer can see that they are actually interested in the position and want-ing to be part of the team, she said.

A resume should be concise and to the point as well as being tailored to the type of job you are applying for, she said.

There should not be anything unprofes-sional about the infor-mation that is provided, she said.

“If you provide a potential employer

with access to your Facebook or Instagram account then you better make sure you do not have any inappropriate pictures on there that could kill your chances of getting hired,” Kinyanjui said.

Another area the stu-dents need to pay attention to would be the follow up process, she said.

“If you go in for an interview don’t just sit on your hands and wait for a response, call the place back and see where you stand after your interview,” she said.

Being able to remind them of a specific person might lead them to hire that person above someone who shows no interest, she said.

In the hospitality indus-try there is a high turnover ratio but Los Poblanos prides themselves on having a lower than average turn-over ratio, she said.

“Los Poblanos is mar-keted as a unique travel experience which allows us the fortune of never really having an off season,” Kinyanjui said.

The Inn is family owned and operated by the Rembe family who are originally from Albuquerque, she said.

The long term perse-veration plan for the loca-tions historical buildings lead the owners to decide upon a long term sustain-able business which lead to the creation of the current location being a beautiful historic inn and organic farm, she said.

The inn originally opened in 2000 and started with six guest rooms and now offers a total of 21 rooms that can accommodate up to 50 visiting guests, she said.

“Being a small business has allowed us to focus on the more organic and local angle of our approach to our guests,” Kinyanjui said

The menu that is offered at the onsite res-taurant uses only food that is from local farms throughout the state of New Mexico, she said.

The inn offers guided tours of the farm which offers guests an opportunity to see

where some of their food comes from espe-cially since a lot of the food served at the res-taurant is grown on site, she said.

“We love being able to let our guests as well as our employees know what it is to expe-rience the more hands on approach to things if it that means digging in the dirt to pick your own potato or picking your own tomatoes because every potato and tomatoes has its own story,” Kinyanjui said.

CNM students create exhibition of their own artBy Guadalupe Santos-Sanchez

Staff Reporter

Aspects of Painting, Drawing, and Multimedia students have created an exhibition at CNM which is on display now through Friday, Nov.21, said Lea Anderson, Aspects instructor.

The exhibition titled “ART: (I think) I Can” is on display at CNM Connect on Main Campus in the Student Services Center Room 107, she said.

“They hold an exhibition and are graded on the quality of their artwork as well as their level of commitment of profes-sional participation in the exhibition itself,” she said.

Participating student artists are Gloria Birkholz, Sarah Gamoke, Allison Godfrey, Sherry Godfrey, Larry Leija, Paul Matthew, Hana, Carrie Mulvihill, Wisdom Reyes, Krystal Schlecht and Monica Trujillo, she said.

Each student chose their own theme for their individual body of work, she said.

They chose the title of the exhibition because it summed up the feelings they had about making a series of artworks and setting up an exhibit, she said.

“They were nervous at first, but now they have accomplished what they set out to do and have gained a great deal of confidence in the process,” she said.

They are working on their series of pieces all through-out the fall term, however some of the pieces were com-plete in time to hang for the exhibition, she said.

All the students participated in making the artwork, in setting up the exhibition, in advertising the exhibition, and more, she said.

This prepares the students for a career as an artist because like any career it does require dedication, hard work, self-discipline, and passion, she said.

The series of artworks created and the basic experi-ences learned in this Aspects course are also intended to prepare students for the Fine Arts Associates Degree capstone course, she said.

“You do a series, you decide what you want to do, but I want six to ten different pieces of art in the series, and that makes it kind of fun,” said Gloria Birkholz, Art Studio major and participant in the exhibition.

Everybody came up with something really different, she said.

She has always created art, but it was not until she retired that she realized she really liked working with it, Birkholz said

She has worked with calligraphy, photography, and print-making, she said.

“But I’m a fix it type person, so I really like 3D,” she said.

For the exhibit she created a series of sculptures that she titled The Yard Sale Series, she said.

She went to yard sales and asked the sellers to give her $5 worth of merchandise, she said.

“That was my arbitrary limit and I worked with only what they gave me for that five dollars, and that was really challenging,” she said.

However, she did have barbed wire, paper mache, and newspaper to use for the basic structure, she said.

She realized that she was limited by the space because it is a public place and not really a gallery, she said.

“I could not put my sculpture up so that people could see all sides of it, which is what 3D needs, so in that way it’s sort of frustrating,” she said.

But it is up and it is always nice to have your work up and see what responses will come, she said.

CNM ITS computer programmer Larry Leija said he has taken art classes since junior high school.

He has taken all other Art Studio classes as well, he said.

His mediums of choice are oil painting, watercolor painting, and pastel drawing, he said.

For the exhibit he is working on a series of oil paintings of his classmates, he said

People are his favorite subjects to paint, he said.“Seeing something about a person is really just

fairly interesting, I guess I like looking at how people tick, looking at the complexity of people’s faces and the infinite variety, and seeing people’s reactions,” he said.

This is a bit of a challenge because humans are so complex, he said.

But it is fun to see the art on display and see how people react, he said.

Art Studio major Sarah Gamoke said she started creating art as a child and learned art techniques in high school.

She has now been working artistically for seven years, she said.

“I have always been creative and it seems like it began with Legos,” she said.

The art she submitted for the exhibition consists of three collages and three sculptures, she said.

The photographic images in the collages resulted in the three sculptures that she made out of discarded auto parts, she said.

“The idea for these came after my father’s death this past summer. I spent many hours in his garage as a kid and was inspired by his passion for working on projects there,” she said.

Gamoke is excited to have her work up on display and to share her passion with others, she said.

The studio art classes at CNM have taught her many art concepts and skills and have inspired her to create more than she could have imagined, she said.

Anderson said she is proud of CNM and the CNM Art Department for supporting students in giving them the sup-port they need in their career path toward being an artist.

“They did a fantastic job. I am proud of them,” she said of the students.

Cosmetology students put on

By Daniel JohnsonEditor-n-Chief

The Advanced Salon Cosmetology 2692 class is putting on a student run fashion show on December 4, 2014 at the CNM South Valley Campus from 6pm to 8pm, Cosmetology Major Valerie Archibeque said.

The show will let fourth term students have an opportunity to use all the skills that they have acquired throughout the course of the program, she said.

“We will be able to apply and show off all the stuff we have learned while being students of the cosmetology program at CNM”, Archibeque said.

This is the first time we are doing this as a final for the actual class, she said.

Cosmetology major Natalie Rojo said the fashion show is not only the final for the class but it is also something that the department hopes will help to get the cosmetology program noticed.

“The show will allow the students the oppor-tunity to show off what they have learned in the different areas we study in cosmetology, like hair, nails, make-up, and other aspects of fash-ion,” she said.

Cosmetology major Louie Mendoza said the students will have to plan out the entire show from top to bottom.

There are 11 students doing this and each student will have two models so there will be 22 total models that will walk the runway, he said.

Students also have to plan out the f loor design, seating, food, the theme, and how the show will f low, he said.

“It should be a lot of fun because we will get to express who we are with the help of what we have learned,” Mendoza said.

Each student will be able to show their true potential by using their models as a blank canvass and just creating an individualized mas-terpiece, he said.

The Cosmetology class does not get a lot of recognition since it is held only at the south valley campus which is kind of sepa-rated from the rest of Albuquerque, Rojo said.

“We want to leave an impression because we want our program to be seen and stand out more because we have the show as a final but just like regular areas of study we also have to study for paper finals and still do our homework,” she said.

This event will allow students to look for-ward to something fun as a final, Mendoza said.

The preparation for the show will take a couple of hours since we have to set up the catwalk and perfor-mance space all while making up our models, he said.

“It will be better than just doing a couple of perms and call-ing it a day,” he said.

With the show getting closer a lot of the students are starting to get that nervous filling and becoming very anxious for the show, he said.

Part time cosmetology instructor Babette Reeves-Harmon said the fashion show will be the fourth term final project which should be a fun opportunity for the students to do something exciting while still putting them-selves out there, she said.

Several years ago there was a fashion show that was done by the whole department but this time around it is just for the students in Cosmetology 2692, she said.

The students were informed that they should approach the local community for donations when it came to the clothing that the models are going to be wearing because it allows them to get out and communicate with the community which is going to be something they have to do regularly once they graduate, she said.

The students will be graded on how well they have allocated time for preparation of the show and the making up of the models hair, makeup, nails, and wardrobe, all the way to how well they clean the location after the show is over, she said.

“We are welcoming all students, staff and faculty to attend the show because we want people to come from all seven campus of CNM to support our little community that is nestled away here in the south valley,” she said.
