When I was first assigned to go to the UC Fall Career Fair, I dreaded the day. I thought that going as a freshman would be a waste of my time and that all of the businesses there would also think that I was wasting their time. I took the advice of my professors and looked into some of the companies that were there but did not plan out an exact route of who I was going to talk to. I saw this career fair as solely practice for career fairs to come and I figured that whoever I talked to would be fine for my first time. It was a chance to grasp what a career fair was and how to go about talking to all of these different companies at one time. In the future, however, I plan to make a list of each business that I would like to speak with, research …show more content…
I had no idea what I should say to these big companies, so I just went for it. I ended up talking to a lady who worked for Enterprise first. I introduced myself and told her a little bit about myself. She gave me tons of information about what Enterprise does and what I would do if I worked for them in their marketing department. She was extremely helpful and really built up my confidence in talking to all of the other companies who were there. She told me that it was great that I was at the career fair as a freshman which was great practice for career fairs to come, and that businesses liked to see driven students that go out and gain experiences; even if they’re a …show more content…
There, I joined CHAARG and Rotaract Club. CHAARG is a girls-only work out group who meets on Mondays and Tuesdays. Like Lindner Women in Business, CHAARG uplifts and motivates us to reach our exercise goals. It’s really nice to have a group of people to work out with twice a week rather than always exercising alone and I plan on rejoining next semester. One of my biggest passions is helping people and through Rotaract club, it’s easy to find opportunities to do just that. I go to the Boys and Girls club every other Monday with Rotaract and volunteer there. I have also done work for Habitat for Humanity through Rotaract. Through Rotaract, I’ve had the ability to connect with others who also have a passion for helping
I went for the Career Network Event and it was a great learning experience for me. I went there trying to apply everything that I learned from my job search class and it was a success. Because I had the chance to speak to the employer of my interest, and I everything went as planned, I remember my professor in class told us to make sure we have a goal and to know which company that we would like to work for and just go for it. I went in there and I did the exact thing that he told us. I remember before taking this class I used to try to speak to every single one of employer and then I put everything in one folder. Later on when I went to contact the job that I was interested in, I would get all the employers mixed up and because of that, that cost me a lot of jobs that I always wanted in the past.
The Brazosport College Career Fair has definitely inspired me to pursue a career in mechanical engineering. Before I attended this Career Fair I already had my mindset on pursuing an engineering degree, but this learning experience has closed the deal.
For me competency 2 is the ability for us as social workers recognizing the characteristics and factors that help shape an individual’s identity and help define what an individual believes in and what they stand for. These characteristics and factors include things such as gender, ethnicity, culture, religion, age, etc. Its these characteristics and factors that affect an individual’s human experience and it’s what makes each of us incredibly unique. As social workers, we must have both respect and appreciation for diversity. Finally, competency 2 also means that we’re able to see how diversity and difference also brings oppression, marginalization, and as well privilege and power. We must be able to understand the different forms and mechanisms of discrimination and oppression and how
I find myself extremely passionate in Community Service, I have volunteered at Emmanuel Apostolic Church during Vacation Bible School for the past two summers, preparing food, coming up with creative ideas to keep children occupied, and making sure children are safe. During this time my leadership and conversational skills have strengthened. In addition to that, I have also volunteered there on numerous occasions to feed the homeless. In high school, I also volunteered at an Elderly home on bingo night to interact with the elderly, gave a listening ear, it was extremely rewarding to see them smile, laugh, and interact with me as if they had known me for a while; that showed me how much they appreciate having company. I take huge delight in
This year I have served 74 hours for Learner Leadership Council, 27 hours for National Charity League and 17 hours for New Tech High at Coppell. One of my favorite places to volunteer is at Cornerstone Closet where homeless adults come to get needed items and take showers. We get to help them find clothes, and necessities and spend time talking with them. Another organization that I spend a great deal of time serving in the summertime is Metrocrest. We put together the food backpacks for families through the Backpack Summer Hunger Project. These organizations reach out to other organizations and charities and assist with acts of service. Even on campus I have been able to serve others. Being a NTH@C Tour Ambassador has been an important way for me to give back to my school. I enjoy showing others our learning environment and the importance of what happens each day. By attending clubs on campus is also another way that I feel is a pertinent way to serve alongside others and celebrate their passions. School events such as ‘The Day’ and other school wide bondings also exemplifies service participation. It is a powerful way to show our connection to those around us on a daily
My extracurricular activities and groups that I belong to fall into the two main areas of my life that I am passionate about: community service and technology/science. I have always wanted to give back to my community because it is the community that has enabled me to be fortunate enough to have opportunities such as these where I can contribute, learn, and grow as a young adult. I have pursued a number of organizations devoted towards giving back and servicing my local community. Those organizations include: Boy Scouts of America, SMYLE youth group (Saint Margaret's Church), and Peer Advocates (Madison Youth and Family Services). The DHHS Tech Club, and the DHHS Hacking Club are the two main technology organizations that I take part in and also have active leadership roles in.
I have made friends with the elderly and sick children, these groups alone helped influence my future career, and without community service I wouldn’t have this
When I arrived at the career fair, I was a little overwhelmed at first. There were so many different options to choose from and I was unsure as to where to start. This was my first ever career fair so I truly wasn’t sure what to expect.
I made several amazing friendships, took a few incredibly difficult classes and met some of the best educators during my time at Ada High School. My Sophomore year was certainly the least stressful of the three years. My classes were easy, I had a lot of friends and it was the year I joined the Distributive Education Club of America (DECA). My fashion merchandising teacher Mrs. Wright convinced me to do a 30 page written business plan for a fictional tanning salon that offered a revolutionary new color matching technology. I placed fourth in the state that year. Not placing in the top three only gave me more dedication to placing first the next year. I competed again my Junior year of high school, this time developing a business that combined daycare for children with proper diets and kitchen safely. Once again I placed fourth in the state. Not giving up after missing the second time of not placing in the top three was very difficult for me. I had made the decision to devote my high school career to this activity that didn 't seem to be taking me anywhere and I regretted not being active in Student Council or picking up a sport instead. Thankfully my advisor convinced me to give DECA one last try and that is when I developed my love of business, particularly in finance. My senior year I decided to do a role-play instead of a written event like I had done the previous two years. Role-plays can be more
While only a small percentage of the entire workforce was able to participate in the event, its intention was to provide employees with something to strive toward. It was also rejuvenating for those given the opportunity to attend. The event was inspiring and left you with the feeling that you work for a great company and they do care about you; so much so that they are willing to spend a lot of money and provide you with a wonderful experience . The event also focused heavily on the driving force of the company: the students and helping them to improve and change their lives. Employees returned to work feeling inspired and ready to do just that. The event provided the company with an opportunity to invest in their employees, reward them, and make them feel
This past Tuesday, Howard University had their annual Spring Career Fair which was located in Blackburn Ballroom with over 50 different companies. The career fair at Howard is always an exciting time as students eagerly await the opportunity to earn a job either during summer or after the graduation. This year’s career fair featured such employers like Target, Johnson & Johnson, Bank of America, Emily’s List, Kipp DC, and many more different companies. Not only did the career fair feature a bunch of different job opportunities it also had representations from different graduate schools some of those were University of Maryland, Wake Forest University, University of Rochester, and many others. What made this Career Fair even more
It has been a while since I started at the internship and I am really glad I decided to work here. I think the experience in this area is a good preview of my career and future. I am learning some important skills and finding out some things about myself and the tough skin I will need in order to stay in the area of juvenile support.
I have been involved in the American Cancer Society for five years. My team, Team Hoot has raised funds for cancer as well as participating in Relay for Life each year. This year, I will be on the board committee at Relay; giving back to the survivors. This organization is one that I always promote and give back to. Also being involved in Relay for Life this year, National Honors Society is a club that helps the community. Being on the executive board, I correlate new service projects as well as corresponding with the Lee County National Honor Society chapter. Also, I am forming a new club at North Fort Myers High, Red Cross Club. Being president, Red Cross helps donates funds back to the American Red Cross. This year we are planning to donate materials for our troops as well as materials for individuals in disaster situations. Giving back to the community is very important to me. Being passionate about making a difference is a drive that I always
An internship is a formal program to provide practical experience for beginners in an occupation or profession. By this point in my internship I am more than half way through it and taking on more and more responsibilities and positions as I go along.
MY RESPONSE: A job analysis should include in every human resource function, because it supports the business strategy, analyzes employees’ performance, and broadcasts the future developments. This practice helps to identify the needs for specific skills, and it's a useful tool for hiring, promotion, and training. For instance, when performing an assessment, you are looking not only for a job performance, you can identify a specific behavior or areas of possible improvements. The job assessment helps to identify additional needs for enhancement or correction. There is a correlation between managers and employees, and collected data will help to determine the internal environment and how good the relationship is. For example, during training,
