Job Shadowing Experience

Night shift workers function on a schedule that is not "natural". Being exposed to artificial light at night suppressed the production of the melatonin, a naturally produced hormone that tells the body it's time to sleep. This leads to disruption of the circadian rhythm which can lead to feelings of fatigue. "Jet lag" is often the term used to describe these feelings. Night shift work disrupts the quantity of sleep but also the quality of sleep. Daytime sleep is seldom as deep and refreshing as sleeping through the night. Being constantly tired is the most common complain of shift

. Temporary light duty assignments are a management right and not an employee guarantee. Light duty assignments may be modified, or ended, at any time, even if the employee’s physician has not released the employee to regular duty. When available, following a duty related injury, a temporary light duty assignment may be granted when work is available and the assignment is in accordance with the Champaign Police Department Policy and Procedure 24.1, applicable City of Champaign policies, labor agreements, and state and federal laws. These assignments are for employees in the department who, because of a duty related injury or illness, are temporarily unable to perform their regular assignments, but are reasonably expected to return to full

I would wake up at 4 a.m.-six days out the week: being on time for a minimum wage field job; 10 hours a day. As I got off my dad’s truck and my feet touched the ground; I closed the door and told him goodbye at the same time I felt scared, independent, and proud. A woman who had a red bandana around her mouth and nose instructed me to put my lunch inside of one of the yellow school buses. They instructed us to make a circle as the sun began to rise. My eyes wandered to the 50 workers, teens and women, but mostly grown men: all Latinos, some dark skin and others light skin like my-self. Their tired red eyes rose as the sun does in the morning. Ten minutes later we entered the bus. Still a bit tired I began to close my eyes as my body moved with

After much thought and discussion with a mentor in my community, I walked up to my parents when they were relaxing in the living rooms and blurted “I am enlisting in the Marine Corps”. It came out rushed and my dad’s first response was “no you are not”, and of course I replied, “Yes I am”. A big argument broke out after that and it took a few weeks for the waters to settle. My parents really wanted me to go to college, and I really wanted to join the military. Oak Park tends to produce a lot of college-bound graduates, and for those who do not go to college, they become Marines. A deal was settled, my dad knew of NROTC, and he convinced me that it was in my best interest to become an officer. After a lot of stubbornness on my end, I agreed

I chose to job shadow the equipment manager because I have helped them at one of their practices when I was younger. I really enjoyed doing it then, and I enjoyed doing it now. I just helped put bags and things away when I did it the first time, but when I came back to do it for my job shadow, there was a plethora of things to do. I job shadowed John, not only to be around football, but to help out at their games and practices.

Also, it is important that I study and do well for the ASVAB. (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) This is a multiple choice test broken into sections consisting of mathematics, general science and arithmetic reasoning. Throughout the testing process, I will have to take another course dealing with paragraph and mechanical understanding. This course and test will help me better understand my strengths and identifying which Army jobs are best for me. The higher I am able to score on the test, means the more job opportunities that are available for me. When my ASVAB test is complete and I have a ship off date, I will be starting basic training.

The career choice that I am very interested in ever since I was a little boy I can remember that I always admired and fully respected the man in the uniform whether it be someone from the army or someone that’s a cop or a paramedic I’ve always wanted to be in the marines or army and I was really going to pursue it, I talked to recruiter and even took a pretest to the asvab test but my family finally talked me out of going because it is very dangerous and there is no telling of what could happen if I went especially now a days, well my second choice is to become a highway patrol officer or a cop and I couldn’t find a single person that had time to sit down and talk to me about their career so the closes thing I came to is a family friend which is a correction

After finishing the semester with A's on my transcript and solidifying the school's reputation as a top cross-country force, I decided that my best option was to return home and resume a normal high school experience. The revolutionary training and extensive study habits I adopted have stuck with me, and I am more understanding of myself after delving into many unique perspectives. Although I no longer have a shaved head to stare at in the mirror, I will always retain the positive traits that I adopted while at military

As a future soldier I can ensure that I can show a full effort to work on job that was assigned to, and as a part of the preparation I just wanted to mention that I’ve been in JROTC program that helps me to learn about the function of each staff and commanders, as well with the marching and commands. As graduating with JROTC major I’m sure that I’m going to do well on the basic training as well on working as “Automated Logistic Specialist” in the Army. I will promise that I will not do anything that will make a bad reputation on my name and you as my recruiter.

What I have done to change my future to success is not applying to the army for if you deny me it will

“What is so hard about working at a rental car place? All you do is sit, smile and rent cars”, says the person who has never worked at a rental car place. Every aspect of working for a rental agency is challenging and demanding. You see a car rental agent is not just a car rental agent, we are magicians, therapists, punching bags, actors, track stars and maids. All the aforementioned descriptions are just my interpretation of who I am to my customers. To upper management and corporate I am an administrative manager, accountant, business analyst, and salesperson. This job isn’t for the faint hearted due to the amount of pressure and stress put on location managers by customers and corporate.
