For my job shadowing experience, I visited my step-father Joe Stankula at Midwest Health Center in Dearborn, Michigan. During the day, I was able to observe as he worked as the head of the IT Department. He constantly needs to monitor the flow of the servers and make sure other people can do their jobs. He has direct power over the internet and phone lines. The equipment he handles runs the building, without it, the business wouldn’t be able to function. The first thing that I did was observe the virtual machine server. His task for that day was to finish migrating all of the virtual machines from one server to a newer one. He did this so that he could replace the virtual machine battery in the server room. This process took almost an hour,
I want to take the time to acknowledge some team members that went above and beyond their designated daily duties this past Friday 12/02/2016 to ensure that the Men’s building stayed systematized, safe, and operating at its optimal level – amid the rush of Incident Reports, Missed Bed Checks, Missed Bathroom Chores, Intakes, and just an overall busy day! These individuals stayed calm, kept their composure, were attentive, and promptly handled the situations in a professional and customer service oriented fashion!
In my own life I have experienced the same thing that Scout experienced. My dad is a pharmacist and runs his own business. He works at the drugstore in Skowhegan, but he also has to make sure that the drugstore in Farmington is always running smoothly. Problems never stop popping up, to-do lists get longer and longer every day, and the amount of prescriptions to be filled keep piling up. He also has to make sure that all of his employees are doing what they are supposed to be doing, such as going out to wait on the patients, or in some people’s case making sure that everything in the front store is in order; in the pharmacist’s case, they need interact with the patients and answer any questions that the customers might have. Every day, he goes
Mexican repatriation involved forceful deportation of Mexicans and Mexicans American from the United States. The enforcers of the deportation branded it as repatriation movement to make it seem that Mexicans and Mexicans Americans were doing so willingly. The federal government pressure to move the families of Mexican origin back to their mother country mainly came from county and city governments. However, claims that all these individuals were Mexican were invalid. It is because more than seventy percent of these persons were American citizens since they were born in America, and others had intermarried and started families there (Calderón, pg 221, 1998).
I started my day by attending bed unit meeting. Afterwards I attended a pre-surgery meeting with my site coordinator. The rest of my day was spent filling isolation carts and creating welcome packets.
I will never forget my first shadowing experience when I accompanied Dr. Allam through the process of a quadruple bypass procedure. Before surgery, Dr. Allam explained to me the anatomy of his patient's chest x-ray and the method he would use to alleviate the patient's vascular blockage. It was captivating to learn about and subsequently observe a medical application which was fundamentally based upon the anatomy and physiology I enjoyed learning about in class. There was great camaraderie amongst Dr. Allam's surgical team members that I found motivational as someone who enjoys and thrives on the spirit of team effort. Upon completion of the procedure, I accompanied Dr. Allam to inform his patient's family of the operation's success. Witnessing
For my shadowing day I shadowed Mr. Jay, who works for Big Red Rooster company, however I spent the majority of my time with three of his coworkers. The first part of my day I spent with Mason Miller, a graphic designer, then to Sarah Mape, and environmental designer, and I ended with Brady Schneider, an architect. From talking to the three of them I learned that there is really no typical day at work. Any problem could come up at any moment and one should be ready to tackle the task immediately, however most days are not like that. When work is not time threatening or difficult, day can be more relaxed and chill. The backgrounds from those who work there varied. The designers found themselves in more artistic classes when they were given
Assisted with daily school operations including staff coverage scheduling, daily attendance incentives, and building safety
These shadowing experiences have been very insightful. Scheduling my shadowing experiences proved to be a bit of a challenge. Within the state of Maryland, public school students in third through eighth grade take the annual PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) assessment. The PARCC Assessment consists of reading and mathematics sections. The assessment for each grade level consists of at least 7 units. Typically one day is designated for each unit. Thus, while planning these shadowing experiences, I ensured that I did not visit on a testing day.
You may be asking yourself what is a day like in grade school teachers life. I was curious of the same thing, which is why I chose to job shadow a Junior High School teacher/coach. I did my job shadowing experience with Chris Page, at Diboll Junior High. He works there as a seventh grade science teacher and a boys junior high athletics coach. This combination is very common in small school districts across Texas, that is, having a teacher double as an athletic advisor in their school system. I had the opportunity to experience this first hand recently and have had the chance to decide if this is what career I’d like to pursue.
Since I was a child I have thought about going into the military, I went back and forth with the decision many times. I had always wanted to be Military Police for the United States Army, and or sophomore experience last year I went and visited a Army recruiter for my job shadowing. During this visit one of the recruiters set up a meeting with me for a later date, never showed or called to cancel. So at this moment I got a not so good view of the military and the people they employed to get people in the military. I continued on the path of the military though, and took the ASVAB, and I didn't really know what my score mean. I contacted a different Army recruiter to talk about my score, he set up a meeting with me and he did not show or
There are lots things I know about radiology, but the important thing I know is having the experience job shadowing one. I honestly had a fun time job shadowing a radiologist. I thought it was going to be confusing and hard, but it’s pretty much the total opposite. It is hard, but once you understand it and know the hang of it, then it’s actually somewhat easy. That’s like everything, though isn’t it? I had the experience to look at the x-ray device, and the CAT scanning machine. In my opinion, I would be terrified to go through the CAT scan, it’s kinda scary looking! When people say that radiologists are imaging experts that is true, because half of that stuff I didn’t even know how to read or even what it was. That’s why we have to go to
Experience: I began my shadowing experience working with a PT that I wasn’t really familiar with. Her name was Kristie and we had her patient work out through her routine of stretches and exercises and chatted with one of her regulars who was recovering from back surgery. We had a nice conversation, and they gave me a few good ideas on how to help my mom out for Mother’s Day. After we finished up I went back to working with Noah and his patients. We began by working out with a really weird sort of guy. He was doing work comp for an injury he had on his building materials moving job with his back. Noah was pretty certain that he was dealing with irritation of the SI joint which was causing the sacral pain. He did a couple exercises and some
For my job shadow experience, I went to my father's work, The Port of Portland, to overview him on an average day working as an IT Specialist. Throughout the day, I saw several different cases of the six Career-Related Learning Standards, such as personal management, problem solving, and communication.
The son of the general manager, Robin, visits his team members and takes part in visiting clients and knows the problems that may arise and identify the progress made in the work to control it.
"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.
