An organization that is invested in providing resources, training, and support to our nation’s under-resourced youth, is an organization that I desire to become a part of.

I assisted each student with completing their college and financial aid applications. I planned programs geared towards promoting independent living and …show more content…

This letter is to express my interest in the Administrative Assistant position in your Internal Audit department.
The job description for a Program Specialist 2 position perfectly matches my qualifications, and I am very interested in the opportunity.
"Paging PA Thornton", the intercom bellowed. A physician assistant is always on the job 24/7. Physician assistants are mid-level health care providers that do their services under a physician's supervision. They can do things like preform a surgery, prescribe medicine, and many other tasks like a doctor. This job is a good choice for people who like working in medicine and are better working in a team rather than be a leader. This job is also for people who like learning and using critical thinking to their advantage. Doctors like them because they help work with them or work where they can't be. That is why there is such a growing demand for physician assistants because doctors need them. Some people believe they are like a nurse but with a different name, but that is a big misconception. They have the same education as a doctor and can perform tasks just like a doctor. Nurses do not do surgeries, prescribe medicine, or have the same education. They also must work
In conclusion, I believe that I can offer a wealth of expertise and experience in contributing towards the continued development of a cohesive, dynamic and collaborative school that focuses on offering outstanding world class learning opportunities for all. I consider myself to be a good role model to students and staff alike and I am committed to leading by example. This, combined with my drive, infectious optimism and commitment to playing a full role within the school beyond those duties set out, make me a strong candidate for the post.
Our society is in need of more individuals who wish to make a difference in their communities. Therefore, the obtaining of my degree in Mental Health Counseling, is my first step on my path of being able to give back to my community.
My interest in nursing began at age 18 at Bridgeport Hospital in Connecticut where I was trained as a Certified Care Partner, then as a Phlebotomist, followed by a two year surgical floor assignment and a one year burn unit stint.
What experiences have you had which prepare you for this position (e.g perhaps as an employee, leader, or working with people different from yourself, etc)?
Being a resident assistant has meant that I have to open my doors and my life, in a vulnerable sense, to support those around me. I take pride in the fact that as an RA, I would leave my door open for anyone to approach me – to tell me about their day, or to discuss their problems. With my door open, I would often hear upbeat stories about my residents’ days. However, residents who popped in did not always bring a positive experience. Stories of death, hardship and sexual assault would walk through my doors. In those moments, I willingly dropped whatever it was that I was doing and listened. I would listen to them, comfort them, and then move forward in the most appropriate manner.
During my senior year of college, I decided to switch career paths and pursue Student Affairs. I can honestly admit, I did not fully understand what that meant at the time but I knew I wanted to help students transition in college. As a first-generation college student, I was significantly influenced by the Student Affairs staff at my undergraduate institution. I had arrived at college lost and struggled both academically and socially through my first year. It was not until a Student Affairs professional nudged me in the right direction, that my college experience began to evolve. In part, it was through their dedication to me that I was able to become who I am today; they challenged me and my beliefs to get me to see a different world, a better
A strong interest in customer service encouraged me to respond to the Graduate Assistant position at the Conaton Learning Commons (CLC), and McDonald Library. My computer skills, four years of customer service, and seven years of supervisory experiences make me an ideal candidate for this position.

In our effort to address the barriers to healthcare access, our mission is to improve our clients well-being and health outcomes by providing medical, mental, and preventive services for individuals with a history of chronic homelessness. With a collaborative effort aided by the case management and outreach currently offered by the Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC), the mobile clinic will provide additional supporting services that will focus on bringing mental health services, healthcare and social services directly to our clients. As we strive to integrate our services by collocating a mobile clinic, we will focus on disease prevention and healthcare promotion through primary care, while employing a biopsychosocial approached with the goal of optimizing wellness within the population we serve. The objectives outline for the medical outreach program will focus on improved quality of care by using every advantage that is presented with a collocated model and the cross discipline solving techniques that will be available with coordinated care. This holistic approach will include a care team that will bring additional resources and will also focus on being the link to additional comprehensive services while monitoring treatment and outcomes. The integration of services can also prove to be cost effective by the flexibility it offers and by consolidating the resources currently available at WLCAC. The program will also be sustainable by using the working relationships it will have with other community health providers and by using the educational services provided by the University of Southern California. Providing medical services that touch upon primary care practice guidelines,...
Throughout my youth and early adulthood, I have held numerous leadership positions in the Boy Scouts of America. It was my time in this organization that fostered my interest in leadership, management, and governance. These formative years gave me the opportunity to practice and develop the leadership skills that I pride myself on today. I have a greater understanding of how to work with others and manage a groups of people and competing groups. My senses of fairness, justice, and equitability were developed during this time and I employ these values in situations to this day. My greatest achievement during my time with the BSA was the completion of my Eagle Project and obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout. The effort required to complete such a task was greater than anything I’d attempted thus far and I was rewarded in spades with knowledge and valuable experience. The values instilled in me by the BSA at a young age have been strong motivating factors to study government and public relations. Furthermore, these values are a reflection of my overall character and are part of the foundation of my moral principles and strong work ethic. I plan to fully employ this strong work ethic throughout my research and studies at UC Berkeley, just as I have throughout my academic
