Throughout my degree I have always been sure that I wanted to pursue a career as a lighting technician (or spark) in the film industry. I have always held an interest in this area of the industry as my Brother Charlie Jenkins (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5340410/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1) is a successful lighting technician and through him I was given some early insight into a career which for me amalgamates creativity and a trade skill. I plan to go straight into the industry working as a freelance lighting technician or lighting trainee using the contacts that I have made over the last couple of years. Although generally Freelancers can expect to earn around £11,000 less than those in a permanent position in the creative industries in the UK (Creative …show more content…
Interestingly freelancers do dominate the camera and lighting departments in the UK, which is illustrated by statistics compiled by Creative Skillset (2014) who found that Freelancers made up 77% of the camera departments in the creative industries of the UK. Although working Freelance could be considered riskier as work will often be dictated by trends in the industry. The UK has the 2nd largest film industry in the world (BFI, 2015), therefore I feel it is reasonable to expect to make a living as a freelancer in the …show more content…
The First contact I made were as a result of my brother, who put me in contact with gaffer Aaron Walters (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1094618/ ) who offered me paid work on the short film The Hope Rooms (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4962566/?ref_=nm_flmg_cam_1 ). Aaron has since put me in contact with Gaffer Paul Burns (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0122832/), who I have worked with several times now since November 2015. Although I was lucky enough to get an introduction through my brother, this type of informal approach is common in the film industry with 56% (Creative Skillset, 2014) of employees working in the creative industry finding out about their most recent job through informal recruitment methods. One aspect that makes becoming a Lighting Technician attractive is that you can be expected to be paid for your work almost immediately. Lighting is heavily unionized through BECTU and in my experience, most Gaffers will insist on their lighting team being paid the recommended BECTU rates (2016) of £315 (Shooting Crew Feature), £276 (Rigging Crew Feature) and £250 (Commercial which also covers music promos). The BECTU Recommended rates are there to prevent Lighting Techs being underpaid for what is both one of the most dangerous and physically demanding jobs in the film industry. It also prevents Lighting Technicians Undercutting each others prices, which eventually
I have had work experience in customer service jobs giving me skills, and the ability to work with different types of people in many situations. I pay close attention to detail and I am a very hard worker. I am friendly, punctual, and eager to learn new skills about early childhood development. I work well with others and have many ideas to improve the company. I am currently studying elementary education at Sierra College, and have taken courses pertaining to child and human development. I am also currently looking to obtain a CPR and first aid training certificate.
I’m a current surgical technologist student at Robert Morris University and I’m also pursuing my bachelors degree while in the surgical technology program. I have taken many science classes that have prepared me for the program and have completed two quarters of surgical technologist classes and labs.
As a Dental Hygienist with a lifelong interest in learning, a strong professional commitment, and a passion for dental hygiene, I believe that a positive and collaborative environment not only supports student learning but helps to ensure student success. I believe that my strong organizational skills combined with effective leadership, and excellent communication skills will both support and encourage student learning. I enjoy working as part of a team to set priorities, accomplish goals and work towards a vision. With 3 years’ experience in a practice specializing in periodontics, I believe that I can provide valuable insight not only into the technical aspects of scaling and root planning but also patient centered care and the ADPIE process.
I completed the leaving cert in 2013 and went to IT Sligo for a year to study Creative Design and finish that in 2014. I had no interest in the subject or line of work, I know I preferred the hands on job and also the mind set of electrical industry, in which I am now presently doing an apprenticeship in the telecoms industry. I’ve always founds hands on work more enjoyable than the likes of an office job. I worked part time for a year while I searched for an apprenticeship in the electrical industry, I then started work with Secto Services and
Theoretically, it takes ten thousand hours of deliberate practice to become an expert in any field. I intend on not only dedicating approximately nine hours a day for the three years, that I hope to spend at Newcastle University, but the rest of my working life in the dental industry. I have researched and shadowed a dental hygienist therapist and I firmly believe they are an invaluable asset to the dental care team. I would thrive from the independence and clinical freedom to work, within the scope of practice, on a one to one level with patients. I believe I can make a difference, particularly building the confidence of sporadic and nervous attendees adhering to a holistic and preventative approach.
tement My passion for to study Dental Hygiene and Therapy has developed over the past few years, where I trained as a dental nurse and supported the dental professionals, which piqued my interest in dentistry and the education around it. I am conscious of the importance of the hygienist’s role in maintaining patient’s dental health and ensuring that that the oral conditions are attended too. The hygienists job is mainly to prevent disease though advice, therapy and treatment; professionals and patients can usually see the immediate difference after a few visits and from this treatment, patient’s wellbeing and health can also be improved from the actions of a hygienist.
"Caring for others" and "Health is wealth" are few of the most incredible things I was taught since childhood. I have been quite fortunate to grow up in a joint family, where I learned virtues and importance of serving others. At age of 15, I was inspired to become a caretaker of my grandfather, who was suffering from chronic illness. He always wanted me to become a healthcare worker, but he passed away after unbearable suffering before he could see me fulfilling his dream. Also recently my mother has been diagnosed with few serious health issues including high cholesterol and blood pressure.
One of the major contribution to my excellence is my passion for the health and medical field. I think when you are passionate about a career, the subject is not as difficult because you enjoy learning new materials and are eager to expand your experience. Which is why i am doing very well in my rather difficult class, Surgical Technology. I have to attend this class everyday for approximately three hours, which can seem grueling. But for me, unlike my other courses, this class flies by so quickly because the information is compelling and I enjoy everything I learn.
My whole life, it has been apparent to those around me that I would be a dentist. I am highly inquisitive, passionate, compassionate, experienced, and I love teeth. I remember getting so excited to have my teeth cleaned as a child because my trips to the dentist were so much fun! At a young age, my mother instilled the importance of oral hygiene care. To this day, I wonder if it was the dentist, dental hygienist, or just the dental office ambiance that had me engaged as a young child. Almost immediately after graduating high school, I went to school to become a registered dental assistant and at that point, I figured out that I possess good manual dexterity, which is a fundamental skill to be efficient in the dental field. At the same time, I unlocked the key to my calling, passion. Six years later, I realized I had the potential to
“Letto diciassette!” I froze at the sound of “bed seventeen,” and watched with horror as the Italian nurse ran into my grandmother’s hospital room. The monitors were beeping out of control, yet my heart seemed to be beating even faster and louder. I stood at the end of the dimly lit hall, shaking and unable to move. A health care provider spotted me standing there, desperate, alone, and vulnerable, and made her way over to comfort me. The feelings I experienced next were what I remember most when I look back on that dark and gloomy day in Italy. ***The feelings of hope, reassurance and genuine kindness. The feeling that a missing piece of my heart had been put back where it belonged. That is what I remember most and that is the role I want
After taking care of my children and teaching them for more than 12 years as well as earning my GED in October 2013, I finally had the chance to go to college for the first time in my life at the young age of 40. Besides being a first generation immigrant, I also became the first of my father’s ten children to attend college when I registered as a student at Wayne County Community College in January 2014. After earning my Associates Degree in Science in May of 2016 and my Pharmacy Tech Certificate in August of 2016, as well as my Central Service Tech Certificate in May of 2017 I still have two main goals to accomplish in the next 2 years as a student at WCCCD: 1) Earn admission into WCCCD Dental Hygienist Program by July 2017 – application
Ever since I was a high schooler shooting short films with my small handicam, I knew I wanted to become a filmmaker. Attending Emerson College as a cinematography major helped me define and hone this goal, and build many of the skills I will need to succeed in the industry. During my time at Emerson, I participated in many shoots and internships that helped me move towards my goal of becoming a Director of Photography, or DP. While at Emerson, I was always working on student films and shorts, which taught me a lot about working as part of a team. I gravitated towards working mainly in the camera department, starting out as a clapper loader and focus puller.
I have been searching for a career that will integrate with my degree in biology. I do not want to be in a situation where I would be constantly working at a desk. What excites me the most in medical technology, is being able to apply my knowledge to more advanced methodologies and instrumentation. During my time working in organic chemistry research, I worked with a few elementary instruments such as rotary evaporators, columns and vacuum distillation glassware. Although this may not give me an encompassing view of what is to be required of me in this program, my appeal with the few instruments sparked my interest. I want to work in a field where I have a hands on approach with my knowledge. After researching the requirements of a medical
This gave me experience about how professional art and design works, and what it is like to work in a conventional job environment. I am interested in drama and acting, and in November 2012, I took part in a school production of A Christmas Carol that performed for 3 nights at the Muni Arts Centre in
Personal Statement: Twenty years of education have brought me a deep appreciation for the study of the Power systems, Controls systems and Telecommunication. When the time came to specialize, my decision to major in Electrical Power Engineering was motivated by the hope of achieving a strong opportunity of creativity, research, and development. Electrical Engineering, with its myriad sub-domains and multi-faceted nature is a natural amalgamation that allows me to express my creativity and innovative power to bring about works that offer benefits to society. The tools and aims may be different, but designing and developing software/hardware or devising a novel mathematical proof is relatable to the work of artists in their shared spirit of creating. I view my decision to study Electrical Engineering as a natural means of fulfilling my need to create since it equips me with tools for the job: the ability to devise, test and evaluate Power systems and the programming knowledge required to implement them.
