When I began my employment with the Denver VA, I had no intention of leaving so soon. Prior to the VA I was DOD working at McConnell AFB for over 5 years. I never did the bare minimum required of me, I went above and beyond, and I was a part of something bigger than me. I was recognized at multiple levels against hundreds of civilians and selected for: 2nd Quarter Civilian award (2011), 2nd Quarter Civilian award (2012), Group Civilian Category 1 award (2013), Squadron Civilian Category 1 award (2013), Level 2 Annual Performance Award (2014), Squadron Civilian Category 1 award (2015), Level 3 Annual Performance Award (2015). So when it came time for my family and me to move, I wanted to find another job that I could be an asset to. The job posting for the Denver VA was posted on USAJOBS in July 2015. …show more content…
Boester the 22nd AMDS Dental Commander for 4 of the 5 years I worked at McConnell. I also had multiple letters of recommendations including one from LtCol. Shockley second in command of the Dental Commander. It took the Denver VA from July 2015 to December 2015 to initiate and complete my hire on. During the 6 month long wait I worked for a wonderful civilian dental office that I left to work for the VA. Once hired at the VA my daily commute went from 30 miles to 60 miles, and I felt this was all worth it, because I was going to be of service to our veterans. Soon after arriving I was warned by other dental assistants of two individuals that can be rather nasty. In no time at all I figured out who these two were with no help from the others. There were multiple run ins that happened on and off the clock and in front of several witnesses. I went to my chain of command, my direct supervisor, Dr. Brandner. I gave him details of theses encounters and names of witnesses. The other assistants who had been employees for years also warned me to not be surprised when nothing
Point 2: What this area was like before the encampment, why was this area so important during the Revolutionary War: (Location to Philadelphia, supply lines, and topography of the land.)
The mission statement of the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) is, “To fulfill President Lincoln's promise ‘To care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan’ by serving and honoring the men and women who are America’s vete...
I walk into Valley Forge. Winter 1777-78. As I walk in, an overwhelming feeling of emotions comes over me. Sadness, anger, hope, unwillingness, and happiness. I walk in a little bit further and I am greeted with many huts. These huts have no windows and only one door. I decide to peek into one of them and see 12 men inside. The huts are hard to see in because smoke has filled them. From another direction there is many men talking. I walk towards the noise and am surprised to see men sitting around a campfire eating small amounts of food. The men are talking about various things. Some are talking about their family, how they are excited that their duty is almost over, and some of the strong willed patriots who are willing to fight for their country are talking about how they are going to stay longer than they were sent to. As I keep wandering around the camp I find myself at an area with many men. These men are different than the men at the campfire. These men were the unlucky soldiers who had gotten sick. There is a soldier who is crying over another soldiers still body. Again I hear talking but this time it’s about how they need help caring for the sick and the soldiers that want to leave shouldn’t leave so they can help the sick. I shake off what I just witnessed and made the tough decision of staying. I would stay because they would need my help,
But Know I am in the best place I've ever been and yes I quit my job, but I believe a better one is awaiting on me in lexington along with the only person I've ever wanted to "change the tide" for as Johnny Cash would say. I had to come to Atlanta to learn all of this and more. But then again, you might have already known all of this. You are smart and wise with the patience of a saint. I believe I am getting there fast.
Would I have quit at Valley Forge? I would stay at Valley Forge because only 15% of people are dying of illness, there is help on the way, and the inspirational words of Thomas
I have 2 years and 11 month as a Correctional Sergeant. In that time my experiences as a correctional sergeant has been both as an area supervisor for adult and youth offender programs section, segregation and a shift supervisor. As an area supervisor I have had to handle many different inmate issues to include but not limited to the following: conducting inmate disciplinary, handling inmate grievances, inmate property, inmate classifications, and disruptive inmates. As an area supervisor I was also in charge of many officers where I had to train and develop their skills being that most of them had under a year experience. In 2015 I was hand selected by both the Associated Warden and Warden to take over segregation to clean up the problems that were occurring in segregation.
Positive twists during troubling times is illuminated best through my experience with joining the United States Coast Guard. As hyperbolic as it sounds, it seemed that the universe itself does everything in its power to keep me from serving. From the start, I had difficulty getting into the service through means beyond my control. When I stepped into that recruiting office after graduating from high school trying to find a purpose and shook my recruiter’s hand, I knew something was bound to go wrong; my
I wanted to let you know about an incident that took place on Wednesday, December 30, 2015, in the Department of Surgease.
I walked into the office that Wednesday for my afternoon appointment, and the news was broken to me as I was introduced to my new dentist. He was a relatively new dentist who had just transferred from his first position in another state. When I went into the chair he spoke very little, and did little to ease my anxiety. The final straw came when I was lying back in the chair, and without a word, he began to drill my teeth, prepping them for cavity filling. I clutched the armrests as pain shot through my jaw and through my face
Being a soldier was a really tough life. In the end I hated doing the same thing day after day with no change in sight, I despised the leaders that didn 't take care of their subordinates, and most importantly, I couldn 't lead my soldiers from the front anymore. I 'll be the first one to say that joining the army was the best thing to happen to me. I have grown so much as a person and the lessons I learned are invaluable. In the end I realized the negative factors outweighed any possible benefit I might receive from continued service. It was time for me to
Well I remember attending a job fair for a position at TDOT and there were massive people waiting to be registered in lines that were wrapped around the building. There we only like twenty to thirty positions available for hire out of hundreds of potential candidates. I was lucky to find fellow brothers of the military applying as
What is a job analysis? A job analysis is a process to identify and determine in detail the particular job duties and requirements and the relative importance of these duties for a given job. A job analysis can cause some confusion when not properly understood. The job itself and the specific tasks performed on the job are what the analysis is all about, not to be confused with the person working the job. Job analysis information is collected through interviews and questionnaires along with direct observations. The specifications of the particular job are what is defined in the analysis, not a description of the person. Companies would benefit and be more efficient to have an up to date and current job analysis on the different positions they offer. This will allow them to hire in the best workers, conduct proper training, and give accurate employee evaluations.
Job analysis refers to a process of collecting, analyzing and establishing of information about the fundamentals of jobs so as to provide the foundation for a job description and data collection for staffing, training, job evaluationand management of performance. Job analysis focuses on what job employees are anticipated to do. The reason for conducting job analysis is to determine the variations and similarities between varied jobs and achieve knowledge and needs on jobs in the organization. It is a requirement for creating a job description and work evaluation. It comprises information about the purpose and nature of the job; activities,anticipated outcomes and holder’s position in the hierarchy of the organization.
I went and immediately thank God for bringing me a great job opportunity. I was very excited for the opportunity to utilize my skills and knowledge that I had received from the military, so I started immediately. I was very open and enthusiastic about the position but my first week did not go, as well as I would have hoped it to be. My government supervisor was not there for my first on the job. I was not welcomed with smiling faces and friendly hugs instead I received sore faces; noses turned up, and no mention of a “hello” what so ever. I was very displeased with the attitudes and behavior of the personnel that worked there. I soon became unhappy with my selection of this position. No one seemed to care or helped me settle into the work environment. To them, I was just another “contractor” filling a desk. My government supervisor came on my third day of me reporting to work, and I received the vibe that she was lazy and incompetent. She had no idea how to managed me or delegate work to me. I also felt as if she wanted to make sure she kept much of the work for job security. Every task she gave to me I completed with time to spare which became a problem. She apparently complained of having someone there to help her out. I asked her for more work, but she seemed to keep it all to herself. I realized that after some time I just wasn 't interested
Organizational effectiveness depends on having the right people in the right jobs, at the right time, in order to meet rapidly changing organizational requirements. Identifying future staffing needs is an important lever for executing business strategy. However, staffing strategies guide the recruitment, utilization, development, movement, and attrition of talent in ways that support long-term business requirements (Olmstead, Falcone, Lopez, Mislan, & Acello, 2014). Nevertheless, Easy Spa is a successful and prominent business that has a chain of day spas (Martocchio, 2013). Jay Spento, the Human Resource Manager at Easy Spa, is proposing that a compensation expert be brought on board the management team. A compensation expert would address
