Government Officials As A Private Agency Representative

When looking how effectively a country represents its citizens, it is important to take into account the manner in which they are represented. The two main types of representation are descriptive and agency representation. Descriptive representation is the concept that those who represent the American people should not only have the same political interest, but should also mirror the demographic makeup of the people. Agency representation, which is what the United States congress looks like, is when the representation does not reflect the demographic, but they speak for their constituents’ interests in congress. The constituents are able to hold the representatives accountable and can choose not to elect them in the next term, so the representatives

Listening: During a client consultation I made sure to listen to my client’s needs and use active listening to give the client a sense of confidence and assure them that they would be taken care of, I also made sure to clarify any doubts with the client. For example, when the client would ask to have a haircut or trimming of only one inch, I would always ask them to describe what one inch meant to them. My clientele was constant. My customers kept returning back to me and bringing in new customers with them, one of the best complements I got was “You never leave my hair too short you always cut it exactly how I want it” and many others.

Objective of this paper is to discuss where the following agencies lie in the administrative structure of the federal government:

From my two years of participation, I improved my presentation and communication skills. I can apply these skills to my future because research involves communication and presentation on a day to day basis. Research is collaborative, so it is important to have an understanding with your lab members. Also, if I am presenting to an investor that has no knowledge on the topic that I am researching, I will need to explain it in a way that would make sense while maintaining the principles of the work.

Members of congress are faced with many tough decisions during their time in public office. They have to balance the interest of their constituencies with the interests of outside influences such as political parties, special interest groups, or national interests. These interests are rarely aligned and require tough decisions to be made when voting. When preparing to vote on a major issue congress members are inundated with different opinions sent in by email, mail, phone calls, and social media (How a Member Decides to Vote). Congressional agencies provide reports and studies, special interest groups send in background material, and fellow congress members provide recommendations (How a Member Decides to Vote).

Provide 5 key lessons or skills that you developed or further enhanced during your work term, and briefly describe.

I learned how to organize school wide events, delegate tasks to my fellow members, and lifelong leadership

The best example of my application of these skills was the group project that I presented to representatives from the World Bank. This project was challenging, as it involved the massive undertaking of evaluating the current state of Iraq, and assessing its future needs, all while taking into account the plausibility and effectiveness of any actions that my group proposed. By winning this competition, based upon my group’s project proposal and presentation, I believe that I was able to utilize many of the skills necessary to be an effective problem-solver and communicator, both of which are indispensable tools for successful claims

Although I gained some knowledge about the public sector throughout my internship experiences, I still have the urge to learn and experience more about this subject. Being an intern at the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office: Victim Assistance Program got me more involve in the subject of public administration. As an intern, I had to inform the victims about the services the Victim Assistance Program offers. In addition, my responsibilities were to document calls for statistical purposes. I had to maintain files/records of the victims as well.

Describe your approach to learning specific agency programs and how you use that knowledge to further the mission of the agency.

I have always found it interesting how harshly people scrutinize public agencies. A majority of the public believe, to some extent, that the government is not doing enough for them or that government agencies are inefficient and a waste of their tax dollars. The public claims that they are not seeing enough improvements based on how much money they are putting into these systems and essentially feel cheated out of their own hard-earned money. I would like to understand what public agencies must do in order to improve their image and get the American people to confide in them and trust that their tax dollars are going to good use.

I realized that I was not as good of a public speaker that I thought I was. Also I learned that I should be more prepared for things and not just think that I am going to win. I let my confidence get the best of me and it was an enlightening experience that I have used since then. I learned more about myself, and have been working on improving my weaknesses. I have began to voluntarily introduce speakers for assemblies at our school and I volunteer to go up in front of the entire student body to talk about things such as sports and current events. Although I did not reach my goal of being the Attorney General at Palmetto Girls State, I did earn valuable lessons that will help me in the
