Once a year ago, I applied for my first job at South Texas College. I wanted to help my parents pay bills, and acquire job experiences. At first it was difficult because I was not aware of jobs, so as I applied I had self-doubt about getting hired. After all many jobs required experience, communication skills, and most commonly in the Rio Grande Valley Spanish. I did not have these important skills on what an employee is looking for. Secondly, I felt as though I did not try hard enough on the application
Electronic Portfolio’s Electronic portfolios or E-folios for short are becoming essential tools, not only for the technology industry, but also for students, job-seekers, and even employers. E-folio’s are a great way to express literally anything that you want. This is the reason why e-folios are so unique and mainly why they have the ability to be so versatile. But, what exactly is an e-folio, and how is it created? I will go over these questions and why e-folios should be used whenever possible
require students to combine classroom learning with real-world experience by U.S. News and World Report. Cooperative education, more commonly known as co-op, is emerging as a poplar way to stay ahead of the competition while in college. Started in 1909, one of the first co-op programs in the United States, Northeastern has a unique program that alternates periods of classroom learning with period of “real world” working experience outside the classroom. Students work full time in fields that are
Symbolic Analysts Reich uses the term of "symbolic analysts" to describe what he feels one of the three main job classifications of the future will be. The symbolic analysts will be someone who is a problem identifier, a problem solver, or an innovator who can visualize new uses of existing technologies. This class of workers includes scientists, engineers, and other scientific or technical specialties as well as marketers, investors, some types of lawyers, developers and a wide variety of consultants
get and buy all the nice things that she wants. Carrie does not have any idea how hard this is going to be. When she tries to find a job, she is scared. Carrie has no skills to offer an employer, no job experience, and her clothing was of poor quality. Chicago was a large city, but society at that time did not have many job opportunities for working women. The only jobs that Carrie could possibly get were in the factories that, paid low wages, had poor working conditions, and long hours. She knew that
Job Satisfaction Do people really like their jobs? Definitely, everyone knows from the news about dissatisfied workers going on strike or even acting violently toward their supervisors, directors, but overall people are quite satisfied with their jobs. A Conference Board study found that 58.6 percent of Americans were satisfied with their jobs in 1995. By the year 2000, that percentage was down to 50.7. But in Uzbekistan (the country of Central Asia where I was born), people generally aren’t satisfied
I see value in all three branches and would like to spend some time within each of them to see where my passion truly lies. For now, I am leaning toward conventional housing. It is what I am most familiar with. I think that this course and this experience have been the perfect duo that has allowed me to get a glimpse of what residential property management is really like. Shadowing at Legacy gave me a unique perspective on residential property management; a perspective that I would only like to develop
Where does one begin to explain what their ideal job is? There are so many things that run through my mind when I think about my ideal job; such as compensation, benefits, culture, impact, and an overwhelming feeling of empowerment from the work related to said position. In my undergraduate degree program I had the pleasure of taking a course titled Self Discovery as an elective instructed by Dean Bosley-Boyce. I remember when I signed up for the class I didn’t have any expectations and didn’t
My job shadowing experience as a whole is an experience I will never forgot. I did my job shadowing at Sliver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, Illinois. I did my job shadowing in the month of March of two-thousand sixteen. On the day that I did job shadowing, after we got the hospital we got are assignments, I got assigned to E.R. also known as the emergency room where I was put in with the nurses to help them to observe and help them take of patients. We ended up doing a lot and I gained a lot from
Restoration Development In my job shadowing experience, I have observed Shawn Hooker from AM/PM Restoration Company. His job title with the company is Project Manager. “Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements” (Varajaoa & Cruz-Cunhac, 2013, p. 3342). He handles supervision and management of the restoration projects by directing all the field activities. He is the person that showed me how the restoration
Quarter has been a very interesting one. At the beginning of the quarter I was a recently graduated nurse who had just passed the NCLEX and began my first job as a nurse at a hospital who hadn’t thought too deeply about what I would be doing beyond that. Today I am a much better nurse able to perform my job better, not just from job experience, but from what I am learning in this class as well. I have learned a great deal from this course I still have more to learn from it. I still strive to learn
The day I came to Job Corps was the greatest day of my life. I woke up at 6:00 am to finish packing my things. My nieces and sister woke up and they helped me get the rest of my things and so I could get to the bus station. I kissed my nieces good bye they were crying saying, “Titi, don’t leave!” I was sad to leave them but I had to. I went downstairs and called my best friend Norberto to help me with my stuff. When he came down the hill from his house, I was happy to see him but sad at the same
financial security for my family, I have to say that work definitely takes up my time. Wanting to be a great provider for me drives me even more to excel at my job in order to become a great employee, get a raise in pay, which will only increase my family’s financial success. I usually spend anywhere between 60 to 80 hours a week at my job. Working overtime keeps me occupied and gives me satisfaction knowing my family is able to enjoy more things in life. I hate to admit it, but I have substituted
Experiences in job shadowing this semester also taught me more about being a kind and compassionate teacher. I had the opportunity to shadow Katie Ondrejko and she is the kind of teacher that is very passionate about her job and her students. When I was in her classroom, I could see how much her students meant to her and how much she meant to them. Almost every student in the classroom came up and hugged her and then Katie went on to ask about how their weekend was and how their family was doing
For my work experience I had gone to Exim Bank. Day 1; - On the first day of work experience, I was received by the manager, who took me to the bank. As soon as I arrived, the staff welcomed me and introduced themselves to me. In the same way, I introduced myself to them. Next, I had to go to the assistant manager’s office and she explained what I would learn and do in my week long course. On my first day, I worked with Victoria in the customer care department. She demonstrated how to enter the cheque
I never met the need of applying to a job, but I wanted to make money. I started off working with my uncles, but the job was not constant. The summer of my freshman year I went to the city market and worked for about a month. A year after I applied to the local McDonald 's, and lasted for about a month or two. I could never keep a steady job because I wanted to do more. Although throughout High School I occasionally worked with my uncles. Working at three jobs I 've gained knowledge about different
Part-time Jobs for Students: A Good Idea I, being employed with a part-time job, truly do believe that there is no wrong in having a part-time job while being a student. I honestly think that it is an awesome, great idea for students to have part-time jobs before they graduate from high school -- if they have the time and resources to do so. Students who are responsible, or learn responsibility, have nothing to loose but all to gain by having a job. There are a few key points that prove students
Most people have some experience in life with a bad job. Many factors such as low pay, horrible management, feeling underappreciated, poor hours, dissatisfaction with the job are some of the factors that may contribute to an awful job experience; I have been through my own personal experience of staying at a bad job because I needed the paycheck, so I know just how difficult the situation can be. However, many people continue to stay at the horrible job because they need to provide for their family
what she likes best she also has dislikes about her job, which is having to do charting. It’s the most important job for nurses because if you did not chart it, it didn’t happen. The medical chart provides everything that was done regarding the patient’s medical care. Even though there are likes and dislikes in jobs, to find a job in nursing would be somewhat complicated with having to get her license for that state before she could take a nursing job if she was to
people who have made it really big, and yet have little or no formal education. My opinion is, in order to get and keep a good paying job, you need both “street smarts” and “book smarts.” The combination of practical knowledge and explicit knowledge is the key to a successful career. Both types of knowledge have distinct advantages. They have both used their experiences in life to achieve their goals. For example, if a street smart mart person had a severe cough they would ask friends, family about
