Clarence, I agree with you completely that older generations follow the motto “a hard day’s work for an honest day’s pay”. I work with a few older employees and they work 5x harder than some of the younger employees I work with. I also received a 35 on my EI test which I was not surprised of either. I have a very high work ethic and have very little time for play in my job. I do need to learn to put myself in others shoes; sometimes this is very hard for me to do.…
My first though on this assignment was “ Who writes anymore? With all of the technology we have no one writes anymore,” I was wrong. I frequently find myself writing at work, at Intermountain Medical Center as a Patient Care Tech and as a Health Unit Coordinator. Often I am writing for myself, writing to my coworkers, other departments in the hospital and writing for as well as to my boss. Recently I noticed the longer I have been working at this job the more comfortable I am writing to my colleagues and my boss.…
“You need a job.” “Do something productive.” “Why are you so lazy?” “ I’m sick of seeing you sit around all day,” nagged my mother. It was summer of eighth grade and I would be transitioning into high school in a couple months.…
I got my first job at Walmart. It was a new, and exciting experience. I got to learn a new part of life. In life there are many stepping stones, and things that are expected of me to do so. We all have to get our first job, learn to budget, ride a bike, and work with others.…
My Work Thus Far Since I am in the Health & Human Services Institute, and this being my first year at Gulfport High, I have never had the opportunity to acquire any personal accolades as a CAB student. However, in the past I have been acknowledged for a handful of achievements I happen to take much pride in. A number of these achievements I speak of are somewhat personal, and may have only been recognized by my self conscious. Nevertheless I plan on sharing each of them with you.…
It's late in the afternoon and I’m sitting on the couch, I check my phone to realize that no one had texted me. I sit there and wonder why no one had texted me, it soon bursted into my head that everyone was working. It was at that point I felt obligated to try to find my first job. I grabbed my laptop and searched fifteen different websites of job openings.…
I’m so sick of sitting in my bubblegum-butt colored living room. It seemed like an awesome decision at the time to paint the hideously textured box I live in for the sake of my “totally unique blogging atmosphere.” Jokes, Melanie, you got jokes. It was a great idea at least until I became a super uninspired shut in, who’s seen two Christmas, and three Halloween specials of The Office in the same week. I need to get out of here.…
One of the biggest turning points and accomplishment in my life thus far was when I received my first promotion ever at my first job when I turned 16. It wasn't about the job i was working or even the promotion its what I took away from it, it was the point in my life after listening to everyonee say for so long if you work hard it will pay off. This is when it finally clicked. I got my first job at McDonalds and it was seriously a learning experience. My first two weeks on the job were terrible, I started off working in the kitchen, and everyone else moved ten times faster than I was.…
My hard work pays off everyday. I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder in the second grade. Managing my ADD has been one of my most difficult challenges. Scared of the side effects of medication my mother decided that we would exhaust all possibilities before choosing to treat my ADD with medication. Over the years I’ve seen a Chiropractic Neurologist, worked with an Occupational Therapist and received interactive metronome therapy.…
I met with Ms. Yankowsky at her company’s office, she had her own office in the building. When I arrived she guided me into her small office. We had a brief handshake, I noticed her hands were oddly cold, but soft. It wasn’t quite palm to palm, but it was stronger than I expected from her. I noticed she dressed professionally but comfortable, she mentioned that because she doesn’t typically work directly with clients on a daily basis she doesn’t have to wear professional attire every day.…
On Monday it was as simple as getting to work, but the nagging feeling of doubt coiled in their stomach as they worked that 8 hour shift. Tuesday it was stronger, the tapping of a foot, and the chewing of the yellow pencil that often sat untouched, a growing anxiety. Wednesday it became more, a fight to stay still, a fight to not be angry, Wednesday was blood orange. Blue woke up on Thursday, the tossing and turning had become inescapable, and looking in their fridge was like looking at a funeral. Nothing looked good, and everything reflected the feeling of lose inside them.…
Over the summer I was going through a great deal of obstacles. As the end was nearing, I decided I really needed to figure some things out. Therefore I decided to take a drive one day after work. Both of my parents were working so I was free to go wherever for the time. As soon as I got in the car after work I could feel the humidity and smell the stale air.…
It is very natural for a student like me to have growth needs high as we are shaping our career and we expect our growth to turn into the most favorable way we need. In my previous job, I was learning everything new and I was able to relate to my job. After certain extent, I wasn’t able to see job satisfaction and my job became a so much like machine operation. Performing the same work again and again.…
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, as usual. Why do I wake up so early just to go to a job I hate. I put my scrubs on and throw my hair up into a bun and I am ready to go. I say goodbye to my daughter, who will be asleep until noon. I wish I could sleep in like her, but I have to support my family.…
I can remember my first day of work at my present job and thinking what am I supposed to do here? Not really knowing what was expected of me, but I was eager to learn the job and the responsibilities that came along with it, just to prove that I was the person for the job. From that day forward, I was always under someone wings learning new tasks, impressing my supervisors and coworkers at the same time. After 60 days of working, I had my first one on one feedback session with my leaders. At that time, they informed me of how my coworkers liked my work ethics and how fast I was learning about the job.…
