My dad works at a place called Midwest Molding, the employees over there works by checking and making car parts. There is one and only single building, but it’s enormous from outside and from the inside too. There are approximately 50 big mechanic machines that builds car parts in various different sizes. It is not the easy job nor it’s hard, only a person’s individual behavior could define the job from own experiences. Many things need to be aware of while working in a place like that because the employees never know when their work goes bumpy. Ultimately, all that things that need to keep in mind while working are to focus on the tasks, keep things organized so more space can help move freely and last but not least, collaborating with …show more content…
Not telling that he’s sick to anyone was a huge mistake because he thought he could lift up few heavy rectangle boxes. Imagine heavy boxes with lots of heavy car parts, now one could’ve lifted the boxes in bad condition. Turns out he dropped the last box full of good car parts. Later he was called at the manager's office and had to explain how that happened, learning a lesson showed a way to manage most of the problems. It is a fact that there is no way of learning things without any mistakes. The three mental or physical skills are needed in order to perfect this job are focusing, organizing and collaborating. These three skills are most important in this kind of work, it helps one's ability to control their body for benefits. First, focusing can change one’s opinion on something that is not interesting, knowing that working for seven hours and doing nothing except working the person could over do it. Teaching patience to the brain could really come in handy in many situations, it helps focus, sharpens memory, etc. Second, organizing things around can allow the person to move freely and could save time, people will start respecting. It also shows how much the person is capable of doing things. Keeping the place neat and clean makes a person enjoy while working because of the less stress on mind the more energy to work. As for my dad, he kept every thing organized and had no problem figuring out which car part goes in which
Planning and organizing skills, I enjoy figuring out what is required in getting a job done and working out how and when it can be done. This can be seen in how I develop a personal study timetable and managing time around work and studies.

Robert Smith became a chameleon out of the need to survive, shaped by his neglectful environment and a lifetime of extreme experiences, most which happened during the early formative years. His father, intelligent but limited by his own damaged childhood, managed to hurt everyone within his sphere of existence over the alcoholics lifetime; the man failed as a husband, father, business entrepreneur, country singer, and horse rancher. Much of Robert’s Father’s dysfunctional behavior could be blamed on Robert’s grandfather, who brutally taught the child the wrong life lessons during the rare occasions he was in the area; lessons which had little to do with good family values. Smith’s mother, though she loved all four of her children greatly, was consumed by the simple need to do both parental jobs and keep the family fed.
Before carrying out work activities make sure you 've been given sufficient training and that you follow the companies health & safety policies.
The skills I believe to be essential are to learn through experience and to analyze and understand. To explain, let’s analyze examples from two essays; “Blue-Collar Brilliance” written by Mike Rose (a professor at the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies) and “The New Liberal Arts” written by Sanford J. Ungar (Author and president of Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland, from 2001 to 2014). Learning from experience is easier said then done. When we are starting a new job, it will take some time to figure out how to correctly do the work. You might mess up from time to time, but eventually you’ll get the hang of it. Mike Rose explains that, “Though work-related actions become routine with
Andrew Braaksma talks about how challenging it was for him working at a factory over the summer. He mentioned that the hard work he put into the job was not necessarily worth it because of how small
Teamwork is important to complete any task and without it you have chaos. Everyone knows the saying “a team is only as strong as the weakest player,” this saying can be put to use for sports but it doesn't come into play for other industries. If doctors, pilots, food industries, and construction workers used this for everyday work they would be more efficient. Furthermore, every industry that has ever existed knows that there is always going to be something unexpected. Gawande recommends that when a team is working together and they can't seem to figure out what the problem is they should, “stop and talk through the case together”(101). When a group of workers uses this democratic way of thinking they critique each other and end up improving one another by showing them a different way of thinking. For example, many think surgeons rule the operation room and what they say goes, but in actuality they make mistakes like everyone else so this rule will actually save lives.
A list of skills will be provided. Such skills are: multitasking, communication, and problem solving.
Today was a usual day. When I came in this morning, Mary was on the phone with the patient who had concussion last week. She was following up with her, whether she went to see her family physician or not. She denied, she still has headache, nausea and low appetite. She agreed to go to see her doctor today. I learned a new thing about the university students. A lot of times the students will come with some kind of fake sickness, just to get a note to skip classes. They are adult, if they want to skip classes, it is their problem, Mary gives the note, if they need.
In order for the company to take advantage of increases in demand and achieve high operational standards, the building needs a complete renovation. For example, the offices and the plant must be separated and more space given to production areas, since joined areas are cluttered and unsafe. They must Adopt a new layout. A modern plant design and safer working environments will permit faster production. Additionally, the enhancement of safety will reduce cases of potential work injuries, which could be very costly indeed. (O’Toole & Mackenzie, 2011).

In the health care system, a multitude of errors occurs on a daily basis. Doctors, nurses, orderly’s, etc., everyone in health care settings has responsibilities that warrant careful attention.
