The Day in the Life of a Cook I woke up as normal that morning of the job shadow; though, my stomach did flip flops as I was anxious about the day ahead. My clothes had been laid out the night before, and I had my clipboard loaded with all the paperwork along with my charged laptop. Deep breaths helped sooth my nerves, but my nerves still wouldn’t go all the way. My job shadow was at Augusta Head Start, where my mother worked, since it was not far from home, and since I had considered culinary science, I thought it would be beneficial if I job shadowed some one in the culinary world. The environment was clean, but very muggy due to no AC. I felt very sorry for Mrs. Doell, the one I was job shadowing, but she managed to keep a smile during
As a senior at Summit-Academy North high school, I am required to participate in a job shadow with a professional in the line of work that I am interested in pursuing. On April 13th, I visited Flat Rock Physicians and completed my job shadow experience with one of the doctors that worked there, her name was Dr.Fretz. I was the only student shadowing her that say. While I was there I observed her as she completed her tasks as a family doctor. The reason why I chose to shadow Dr.Fretz is because I plan on going into a career in the medical field and I want to do something that'll give me the chance to help people when they need it and this type of career will give me that opportunity.
It was only a seasonal job, so they weren't too picky with their hiring and within a month I was hired and put to training. Training was fun, it was I working like everybody but somewhat supervised. After the training I'll be honest, I hated working there. I couldn't stand having to put clothes away for four hours and barely being able to talk to anybody besides a passerby customer who would politely brush me off every time I asked the required, "Do you need any help with anything? No? Okay, let me know!" It got old real quick. I missed the constant interaction I got with the kids I used to
scheduled to take my NCLEX exam, I was extremely nervous. Without a doubt, I knew that I had worked
Angelo is a 65-year-old male who has left-sided hemiparesis because of a right cerebrovascular accident that occurred 7 years ago. Though he has left upper extremity weakness, it does not affect his right upper extremity, which is his dominant side. Angelo uses a cane to ambulate between locations, yet he needs to use a rail in order to climb up stairs, and he uses an ankle-foot-orthosis to support his left foot. Although Angelo has no visual and/or perceptual deficits, Angelo struggles to flex his shoulder, extend his elbow, and both flex and extend his fingers. Angelo experiences diminished sensation on his left upper extremity, but it depends on the time of day. When Angelo sits down on a chair next to the table, he places his left upper extremity on the top of the table to support it, using his right upper extremity. In addition, Angelo is able to articulate
It is with great interest that I am applying for the writing consultant position at CSSW Writing Center. I believe my educational background in social work and public health combined with my writing and communication skills makes me a strong candidate for this position.
In this chapter, the author points out the erroneous behavior of employers to their disowned workers. Employers reduce their accountability for their workers by cateogorizing them as “temp-workers” and “independent contractors” versus actual employees. In doing so, companies contribution to economic inequality and gender inequity is discernible. Employers thrive and retain funds for their personal gain by demanding a “flexible” worker. A flexible worker is subject to lose of wages, reduced or demanding hours, and unequivocal discrimination. Legislations such as the Family Labor Standards Act or Title VII, protects “employees” only and provides leeway for companies to avoid legal responsibilites and raise their profits. Temp workers may lose their job simply because employers neglect to provide training or vocational education--making the workplace unsafe for all workers (Fredrickson 135). Laws prohibiting temp workers and independent contractors to push for a wage increase, join an union and obtain benefits relieve employers financially and legally. The only way to ensure temp workers are protected, employers and temp agencies should be considered as “joint employers”; holding them liable for workplace violations. As techonolgy advances and independent contracting remains, these types of workers will continue to be disposable. Domestic workers, independent contractors, leased and temp workers should have legal rights because of their work ethic and not their job title. Employers defintely contribute to the
Occupational Profile Introduction to Occupational Therapy as Profession OT 501 Ryan Hogan One of the first things we do as an occupational therapist is to understand our patient.

This profile is completed with the use of two main techniques. First the occupational therapist will ask the patient direct questions concerning them.
My job shadow experience was quite interesting. I choose to do something that I don’t really know about. I chose a physiatrist named Dean Smith because I know him already because I have ADHD and he works with kids with ADHD and I have gone to him before to get medications filled. I went to catalpa health in appleton. Because I did it this past friday and I didnt have school so I went for 5 hours. This helped because some people would ask me to leave the room. However I got to watch him work with 14 kids.
The first shadow I attended was at Cumberland Physical Therapy to learn more about the life of a physical therapist. This career interested me because I had once gone to a physical therapist with my Dad when he tore his ACL and was intrigued by how active and exciting the career appeared. The day started at 6:00 in the morning because the majority of patients come before they go to work. During my job shadow, I
Monday morning has arrived and is at full volume announcing itself as the alarm clock is screaming from the nightstand. With little sleep and a stomach full of nerves I climb out of bed slapping the noise into silence, and rub my eyes. The blank spaces on the wall remind me where my degrees used to hang. Aright Anne, wake up. In hopes of calming my nervous stomach I make my way into the kitchen for something subtle; coffee and a bagel. Watching the morning news I sneer; it will be a hot and humid day. After having breakfast, I check the clock and jump into the shower struggling to wake. Today will be hot so I decide on something lightweight. Stop being so nervous I tell myself again as I pull the towel from my wet hair and gaze into the mirror. I need a good concealer today as my blue eyes appear tired. I comb through my long blonde hair and blow-dry it. As I wrap my hair into a hair clip I make my way to the closet. Choosing my light pink dress shirt, dark-gray trousers and black strappy heels I stand staring into the mirror. Time for makeup as I remind myself not too much I need to keep it professional. I choose a set of earrings and my favorite ring with a matching bracelet. A final check in the mirror and I’m done. Spinning with nervous thoughts; I try to remember who my first patient is this morning, and I realize I have forgotten the name. My subconscious screams way to go! How
A job shadow is a one-time experience, typically one-half day in length, to watch a health care professional, ask questions and see what it’s like to work in health care. Although you won’t deliver any care or services, you’ll gain a new perspective by observing Avera’s professionals care for
My job shadow opportunity took place at the Alternatives Holistic Health and wellness center in Appleton Wisconsin. I was able to complete my job shadow on Wednesday, March 21, 2018. Dr. Abbie Goodman was the Chiropractor I was able to shadow in order to fulfill my four hour requirement. Dr. Goodman took time away from her busy schedule as well to give me pointers and answer any interview questions I may have had for her at that time. I am very Grateful to her for the time she took and I was able to truly take away a lot from the experience.
In the competitive world today, having a college degree might not benefit a student as much as before, thus opening up numerous questions concerning its necessity. Not only is the number of students desperately trying to enroll in college increasing, but the tuition shoots up as well. However, will college enrollment necessarily be enough to increase your chances of attaining job security? The answer is hotly debated amongst adults and students alike, which opens up the second option for students, that is, joining the work force. Although this option is generally shunned by the new generation, the tough economy and slow restoration makes it quite a desirable choice at the moment. Joining the work force is a hard decision to make as it
Employability has been defined as "the capability of getting and keeping satisfactory work". Graduate employers across all industries want more than just a degree; they want graduates who can demonstrate a wide range of skills, attributes and knowledge, often called ‘employability skills’. Graduate businesses over all ventures need something beyond a degree; they need graduates who can exhibit an extensive variety of abilities, properties and information, regularly called 'employability aptitudes'. (Hertsacuk, 2018)
