My First Day At My Job

-Self assessment- Reflecting on my work helps to plan different ways of doing things and helps me see my progression.

Another skill that is demanded throughout the workforce is attention to details. Most jobs in a company deal with small fragments of that company, which if altered in the slightest, can make the larger picture of the business crumble. I work in a hospital setting, and if one test tube is labeled incorrectly or misplaced then a patient could be seriously hurt or even die due to neglect. This could also lead to a lawsuit and the company to would undoubtedly cease to function. This skill is so important, that my current boss later told me in private that if I had not proven my ability to pay attention to details then I would not have gotten the job.

I am responsible for ensuring that my mandatory training is up to date, and that I follow all codes, legislation, and recommendations when performing my duties. I will ensure that my job description is current, and am aware of my responsibilities within my role. It is important that I attend refresher courses to update my practical skills, and attend new training courses to improve my working knowledge and skills.

The twenty-five stories that are contained in the book, My First Year As A Teacher, are about real teachers and their experiences during the first year of teaching. Each story is different. Some are about memorable students while other stories are about some of the hardships that are encountered as a novice teacher. The diverse sampling of stories in this book gives insight of what kind of problems one might encounter as a teacher, yet they also describe how rewarding the profession can be. I found it rather difficult to choose only ten stories as my favorite but after much consideration and rereading I decided on the following stories because in many ways I could relate to the students as well as the teachers that are given life in these stories.

While working or while looking for work there are certain skills sets that are universally important. No matter what job or career path you have chosen these skills make it easier to obtain your goals, whatever they may be.

This sets out a need for me to consider how I will professionally develop within my role.

I could be taking out the trash, moping and sweeping the floors, or serving someone, but I still try to learn from it especially if I make a mistake.

As said before I learned how to respond to request made by workers when they are asking for permissions but know I learned as well how to receive and respond to problems that workers can encounter during there job.

When you think about the work that you do and ask yourself "Could I have done it differently or better?" you can improve the way you work or find out what you need to learn to make you a better worker.

Throughout the journey of my life, I have had various personal and professional experiences. All of the opportunities that I have held up to this day have taught me something about learning to be a better listener, communicating with my colleagues, and understanding

Once I realized the type of projects I was doing poorly on I was able to identify why and began making the necessary changes to improve my performance. Any task given to me that involved me having to think and analyze I did very well on. The more mundane and mind numbing projects, were the ones where I would miss multiple little things, which created a poor

"Winning is important to me, but what brings me real joy is the experience of being fully engaged in whatever I'm doing." says Phil Jackson, a former American professional basketball player. People always whine about how their first job experience was terrible and there’s only one reason which is not getting enough amount of money for their work. I think people need to think that job is not always about money as I discovered from my first job.

2.) I am referring back to my position as a receptionist at a busy hotel in Glendale,Arizona. I held this position for 8 months, I was welcomed and trained by an array of people who I believed would be around throughout my career there, however I quickly learned that the business of hotel management was a revolving door, and you learned more than enough names for the same position. Jumping forward to my third month there. I was pretty accustomed to the routine I had picked up of what was my job, but I kept a close eye to the tasks performed throughout other positions. Soon after I knew that I could essentially perform any task asked to. My confidence was yet to be tested until a busy Saturday came rolling in and I was asked to cover a double shift. I showed up about 15 mins early and prepped for what would be my next 11 hours. I stood in the break room and noticed that half of my team was indisposed, it was just me for 11 hours, to tend to the hotel.
