What I liked most about job shadowing Dr. Barinaga was that I got the opportunity to see how he puts braces on a patient’s teeth and also how he removes. the braces. I also got the chance to be in the lab room where they create molded teeth models of their patients and use the models and this machine that heats up a plastic disk then they put it over the teeth model to create plastic retainers for their patients.

...HRD is the overall framework for helping employees their personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. HRD includes such opportunities as employee training and employee career development etc. in this essay I will be concentrating on the internal and external factors affecting HRD. Development focuses on training and this is done internally and externally in different industries. On the job training is done internally where employees learn how to perform their job roles. It allows coaching which is a more intensive method of training that involves a close working relationship between an experienced employee and the trainee. This is good as strong working relationships can build into better productivity and teamwork amongst the workers. On the job training is beneficial as the trainee is faced with real life scenarios. For example, when training to be a cashier in Lloyds TSB bank you would be on the counter with a member of staff who currently cashiers and they will shadow how they do the job. After shadowing, the trainee will go on counter and process non-communication transactions meaning that there is no interaction yet between a customer and the trainee. After this and the trainee is comfortable about the basic procedures they will then do the same again however this time they will be interacting with the customers face to face. Either a fully trained cashier or manager will observe them so that if any problems arise or there is a complaint he/she will be able...

...Personal Essay: Twenty and Serious I was 19, and it was my first week on the job as marketing director for a leading financial services organization in North America. Our awkward exchange was one of many I've experienced as a young woman in a big job. People expect a much older-looking person, not a girl who could pass for a college sorority sister, to be speaking to them about life insurance or finance. I guess I have always looked young for my age. When I was a freshman at a community college, people mistook me for 16. Now that I am almost 21, bouncers still eyed my ID suspiciously checking for validity even at an 18 or older event. Looking younger than your years is a bonus when you're over 40 (or so I hear) but a bummer when you're a 20 year old kid like me, especially a kid who landed a dream job and is trying to command some respect. Before I started my career, being mistaken for someone younger was no big deal. But during my first job as a Marketing Director, I quickly realized that looking "too young" could be a curse for me at work, one that would keep fueling my insecurities even when I landed a position of authority. In my first marketing director job, I had an encounter that scarred me for years. An older woman I was meeting with about our finance services looked me up and down and squealed with amusement: "Well, don't you look all of 12?" Her voice dripped with snobbery. It was hard enough being the lowest person on the totem pole in the office, but having my...

...people or resources in a group regarding the values that have already been established. Leadership and being an outstanding leader depends on ones qualities and behaviors that they exhibit in different circumstances or situations (Hader, 2008). Leadership has to go hand in hand with management because; without management, the direction that is set does not reflect on how the new direction is going to be achieved. Others will have to work hard in the shadows that have been left behind by the others. Effective nurse leaders are those who involve others to work together in pursuit of a common goal (Sullivan & Decker, 2005). For this reason, I choose to shadow with my manager for couple of hours to see how a tipical day goes for him. In this essay, I will discuss how my manager manages our unit, his communication style and it effectiveness, his type of leadership style or styles and it effectiveness, and what my thoughts and reactions are about this experience. Our unit is a mixed unit consisting of respiratory and geriatric patients. We also care for stroke patients on the unit. In managing the unit, our manager uses more democratic, or participative leadership style though he also exhibits transactional and transformational styles. According to him, he has to be autocratic in some decisions making. A potent and effective leader should be able to put into practice two or more styles of leadership. Blais and Hayes (2011) mentioned that a democratic leader seeks the participation...

...specialists who restore mobility, alleviate pain and suffering, and work to prevent permanent disabilities for their patients” (Us Department of Labor). This interactive career is one of the fastest growing jobs at this time. A physical therapist has the opportunity to work in a hospital, private office, or clinic. Their patients could range from aging woman, an athlete, an unfortunate accident victim, or someone with lower back pain. Saul Wischnitzer projects his research by explaining that it's a physical therapists job to first test then measure the patients’, muscle strength, coordination, motor function, and a range of motion. After a certain number of sessions, the physical therapist must determine a process for the treatment so the patient can regain mobility. They specialized process should help relieve the pain and assure the patient everything will be okay. Working as a physical therapist gives a person the satisfaction of helping people achieve a goal with gradual progress and seeing them once or twice a week. The experience a physical therapist takes away from going to work every day includes meeting new people and having conversation with new individuals. Also knowing that physical therapists earn a good amount of money attracts some people to this occupation. Physical therapy is a modern career that is exciting, challenging, and allows a person to be social. A job in the physical therapy field requires a person to obtain a high school diploma.

...College Education is Worth the Investment All kids are pushed to do their best and work hard in school. Having a work ethic is something that is always emphasized when children are young and learning the importance of diligence in school. We are told that if you work hard you will reap more benefits in your lifetime. Hard work is a key to doing well in school and work. Being inherently intelligent will obviously open doors but having merit and putting that in your everyday work will get you far as well. It has been shoved down our throats that a college degree is a way to secure a job and find something that will allow some stability in life. In a time where everyone has seen families struggle with finding any sort of stability, it is something that this generation definitely strives for. The economy is said to be recovering, and unemployment rates dropping. We are told that hard work helps guarantee a job, security, and more wealth in life. Due to the economy and high education costs it is not always so obvious whether the hard work put forth in college will pay off in the end. College is supposed to guarantee a sort of safety net for a safe middle class life, and although this is not always the case the costs and time spent in college teach valuable lessons that a student can carry with them and apply to the work world when they get their degree and in other aspects of their life. Some people think that they will not be able to get into college based on grades...

...Leadership: Inherent or developed? Gary Mason Regent University June 26, 2016 Leadership: Inherent or developed? Introduction Leadership is required in nearly every aspect of our lives; it is so important that leadership, and the traits that make up leadership, have been studied extensively for decades. In industry the viability of the organization depends so heavily on leadership that many companies fail, not due to a poor product, or bad marketing but simply due to poor leadership since “…leadership…may affect work team processes and results”. (Santos, Caetano, & Tavares, 2015, p. 470) Although “nearly $15 billion is spent yearly…” (Prager, 2016, p. 30) on leadership development programs “study after study says leadership development is not effective, senior leaders don’t believe it works”! (Prager, 2016, p. 30) With the amount of money being spent on leadership development, clearly there is a belief that it is possible to train someone to become a leader. Still, “86% of HR and business leaders see leadership shortfalls as a top-three issue”. (Prager, 2016, p. 32) If leadership development is important enough to spend $15 billion dollars a year to provide, yet 86% of business leaders and Human Resource officers still consider the development of leadership skills a significant issue because of remaining shortfalls in leadership in spite of the investment, there is plainly a disconnect. But, what attributes or skills are recognized as good leadership traits? According...

...REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE The purpose of this study was to develop a program to enhance/improve the performance of the students in their OJT. This chapter presents the review of related research of the components of On-the-job training and job readiness training programs. The literature about internships, on the job training program, job readiness training programs, and Overview of On-the-Job Training are discussed. Also included are the need for workplace financial education, employee assistance program, employee assistance program and stress management, workplace financial education and its effectiveness, and productivity. This chapter ends with the summary of the literature review. On-the-job training is a practical way of introducing new employees to the workplace by providing them hands-on learning opportunities and instruction. Typically, employees are briefed and then paired with a seasoned colleague who shows them the ropes. The employee can then transition into completing tasks on her own while under supervision (Lisa McQuerrey , 2014). Tara Duggan and Demand Media observed that job readiness training programs prepare participants to get, keep and excel at a new job. Basic employability skills include effective communication, problem solving, resume building, and interviewing. Job readiness training programs also help participants develop good work habits that facilitate their ongoing success. Workshops typically include lectures, discussions and role-playing exercises...
