Hi I’m Paige and if you had told me last year I’d be in Office Administration I would’ve said, “no way, not even close”. That’s one of those jobs requiring you to be cool calm and collected. The atmospheres are peaceful and then people work constantly. It’s the opposite of my desired profession and personality. I’m the opposite of my career, or well it was until I met my instructor, Miss Young. She changed my mind about how I perceived the trade and what I could do with the skills once I completed. Was very instrumental in helping me obtain the necessary skills to make the most money in the field of Office work. I managed to get my typing up to the speed of over 60 words per minute. I learned all the processes of Windows Operating Systems, I even got a glimpse of Windows 10. Using …show more content…
I loved learning. Data entry was a breeze for me as was all the other work in Office Administration because you just get projects and assignments, follow the directions was simple, and get it done. Again, Ms. Young did her job well. Whether in a large office space separated by cubicles, or a nice private office, I’m certain that I can raise to the occasion and do well for myself. Passing the certification will be easy. I was excited that completing my trade only took me4 months. The next decision was to decide what I was going to pursue with my completion and certification. I have options depending upon the level I’m seeking to achieve, there are quite a few. The amount of words you type and keyboarding skills make a difference. I can type 50wpm. Office positions are wide open all over the country, depending upon your skill level, they’re not isolated to a high-rise building filled with windows in a 4,000 square foot space of cubicles. Very large companies such as Ashley Furniture, Office Depot, Walmart, and Luxury Car Dealerships like Mercedes and Lexus have teams of Administrative staff. They are the backbone of a
The college was implementing the Workday software for their Human Capital Management (HCM) and Financial systems. I had never been exposed to this kind of work before in such a professional atmosphere, and I felt that I was in way over my head. However, working with educated business professionals gave me the drive I had been missing for so many years. I expressed interest in learning everything that I could so that I could be at the same knowledge level, and the team was more than willing to teach me anything I wanted to learn. My program manager took notice of my hard work and began to assign me business analyst work in addition to my admin duties. My hard work paid off and I was eventually offered a position as a Jr. Business Analyst.

After carefully assessing my past training, experiences, interest, and goals, I have decided to continue my studies and pursue a Master’s in Business Administration. In high school, I was given the opportunity to duel-enroll in a trade school to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and join an association known as Heath Occupation Students of America (HOSA).

My high school experience and belief in Christ is what drives my passion to help, care, and love other as Christ first loves me (John 13:34).
As I left the interview, I knew I did not leave the best impression of myself to you and your interview team. Unfortunately, nerves got the best of me and did not allow me to show you my true self.

I am not opposed (and actually look forward) to taking classes that will allow me to grow and

I then went into the restaurant industry where I honed my verbal and written skills by working with customers, staff, and various purveyors. . My most recent job at AutoNation Direct as a consultant was a high pressure job with tight time limitations for projects and assignments.

Despite being a first year student who drowned in fear of the unfamiliar and new college life experience before moving to UCSB, I would like to explore opportunities that allow me to step out of that fear into a realm of individual growth and invaluable experiences. Instead of allowing the fear of stepping into unknown territory deter me from being able to develop life skills and knowledge, I am determined to expose myself to new challenges and even making mistakes. After listening to RA Lisette’s personal growth experience as her time being a DA, I especially began to peak interest in this job because I see my time here at UCSB as an opportunity to not only broaden my academic knowledge, but more importantly, explore and develop my own character. The different skills that this job entails, such as communication, customer service, carrying out given tasks, and working as a team, will most

I am an accountant at Christensen Financial where I have been employed for the past nine years. I have been in the accounting field for the past fifteen years and it happened by accident. I did not choose to be an accountant however through various jobs it chose me and I took the ball and ran with it. In my youth, I did not have an end goal regarding a career, I just knew I wanted a job that could give me the opportunity to move out of my parent’s home and allow me to take care of myself. As I started working I was able to advance from a job to a career, using each opportunity as a stepping stone, I went from cashier to accounts receivable specialist, to office manager/bookkeeper, to land at Christensen Financial as their accountant. It was validating to learn that my personality type of ISTJ, which stands for Introverted, Senor, Thinker, Judgers, is in line with accounting
