My Vocation And Its Meaning

I am studying marketing here at the University of Florida because I am interested in the buying and selling of goods/services. I find things like television ads, target customers, different brand logos, and commercials very interesting. Jimmy Johns for example, has really funny ads on the television and radio that market there product. Companies like Southwestern Advantage sell educational systems door to door. I think that is a very interesting way to market their product. I know that I am not into finance or accounting but at this point in time marketing is my best option. If I ever change my major it would become Economics or Sociology.

My goal is to become a psychologist and help improve children’s learning abilities by developing ways for them to overcome academic challenges. I wish to develop and apply effective interventions to promote their psychological, social and emotional wellbeing. I want to become familiar with the major concepts, theoretical perspectives and historical trends in psychology. Through this, I would be able to apply psychological principles to personal and social issues and use creative thinking to solve problems related to behaviour and mental process. I want to gain the idea of how to implement psychological knowledge, skills and values in my occupational

College. One word that has people’s minds run like crazy. Panic is one emotion that starts to settle in for high school seniors when second semester rolls by when they realize they are suppose to figure out their future soon. Not only is it a stressful time for the seniors, but also for the parents. Alina Tugend, an experienced journalist, wrote an essay called, “Vocation or Exploration? Pondering the Purpose of College.” Tugend’s goal of this article is to inform the audience of college students and their parents that college is continuously changing its aspect which leads us to different options when approaching college. This is why making the right choices after graduating high school is challenging. She pinpoints great examples throughout the essay and uses a good amount of ethos, logos, but did not have a

I work part time at a nationally recognized health club where I have the opportunity to not only interact with members everyday but also participate in my own well being by working out on a regular basis. These activities have given me confidence that I am able to lead a workforce and complete a job efficiently and effectively. The passion that I have for marketing and management in the sports arena are enhanced by the program you offer. I fell in love with business while having the opportunity to take an honors finance class my junior year in high school. I received the Achievement Award in Honors Finance which influenced my decision to pursue an undergraduate degree in marketing. Because of my success in high school, I feel prepared for college level business classes. This combination of learning about the highs and lows of business and learning about the sports and fitness industry is what this major is all about; it is what I am all about and has me as a driven, passionate student so excited to be pursing my next journey in life at West Chester

I really liked learning about the meaning of the word vocation. The Latin root of vocation is voice, which Palmer directs us to believe that the “voice” in vocation is the voice of our calling. So instead of thinking of your vocation as just your job, you should also think of it as your calling. But first you have to figure out what your calling actually is.

In the article "Now I Become Myself," author Parker Palmer endeavors to illustrate to her readership how can find personal fulfillment in their occupations by finding out about the self and what it is the individual needs to be satisfied. Most important to Palmer is a wider understanding of the term "vocation." This term is usually applied to religious persons who feel some otherworldly calling to the mantle of the clergy. However, Palmer argues that vocation can be a part of everyone's life, no matter which field it is to which they are drawn. Vocation is a gift for every person from a divine being who tries to inspire people to become the best versions of their selves possible. Achieving this is possible for everyone so long as they listen to the self and do not engage in actions which would hinder self-discovery. What's more, Palmer says, once the self-actualization has occurred, one is not only a better employee, but a better all around human being.

The United States Army has a long, and storied history in regards to its past, present, and future Soldiers. The Army has fought battles in every corner of the world. They have entered almost every major military engagement in our world history. We have saved the day. We have lost the day. Best of all we have learned from our experiences, our triumphs, and our failures and become a force to be reckoned with when put into action. Whether it is the infantry Soldier that is running into the face of danger, or the supply specialist supporting the unit with uniforms, weapons, and ammunition, or the “lowly” human resources noncommissioned officer ensuring that the service member’s family is paid survivors benefits by preparing the Soldier with their necessary paperwork beforehand.

Dr. Waddell explains that he feels work signifies honor, creativity, and love. Dr. Waddell states, “[vocation] expresses the belief that God is present in calling and equipping people to fulfill a particular purpose in life and this correlates with Grudems’ statement, “that is why God made us with a desire to be productive, to make or do something useful for [ourselves] and other people”.

With the assistance of professors Steven Moskowitz and Joseph Richards, I am pushed to expand my skills in marketing by beginning work with companies in the neighboring area. These devoted educators showed me the value of my positions as a digital marketing intern at a nonprofit organization in Fair Oaks and as a part-time employee at the UEI’s dining services. These new and ongoing positions have given me a broader outlook of the trade industry and what situations I will meet and overcome in my long-term career.

What is next? Is the question that haunts adolescents throughout high school and college. Therefore, today I will offer information on possible job opportunities in a few foreign countries. Given the nature of this paper, the audience who find it useful will be limited; furthermore, this essay is designed to provide young Americans who are considering searching for employment overseas in Europe. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), “is the best way to measure a country's economy. GDP is the total value of everything produced by all the people and companies in the country” (Amadeo), so naturally GDP seemed to be the best choice for determining my countries of focus. I am going to talk about the two countries with the highest GDP out of the

It is something I truly enjoy and cannot get enough of, I am constantly talking about what I learned in marketing class and how it relates to us as consumers. I do not want to pursue a career in something in which I do not have any interest for and will not enjoy working in. Marketing has become a passion and something I have learned to love dearly. With marketing you can accomplish a lot, when people hear marketing the first thing that comes to their mind is adversting, this is the reputation marketing has gained in the past years. In reality it is more than just advertising, it is about the consumers, the way they think, the way they react to prices, where a product is placed, how the product is placed, the labels on the product, the way it is manufactured, and how it gets from manufacturer to consumer. Even though MyPlan.com results said I am 60 percent introvert and 40 percent extrovert, I want to be able to fill the extrovert niche in the marketing world. I want to be hands on with the customers, being able to be part of getting the products to the right customers at the right time, right place, and right price. Overall being able to communicate with the customer and understanding their wants is one of the main priorities in marketing. You see marketing is more than just billboards and

The marketing internship I was lucky enough to participate in at the University Center has been a very educational and valuable life experience. This internship has taught me many lessons that I can apply to my future career. For clarity purposes of this paper, I have listed my original education objective first and it will be followed by details about the progress of achieving that outcome over the course of the internship.

At the beginning of the semester, I wasn’t sure about my major option. Entering Fresno State as a transfer student, I declared my major as Business Administration with the option of Entrepreneurship. Even though I had declared my option, I was also considering Marketing. The classes in the Entrepreneurship option didn’t excite me as the classes in Marketing did. With that, I changed my option to Marketing. The cover letter assignment also helped me make my decision to change my major option. Because I was still considering Marketing at that time, I had no clue which positions I would like to have in the future. While I researched, the job position for a market research analysist popped up. I read the description and to my surprise, it matched my interest! By completing this assignment, I learned what skills and experience I need to gain. I’m excited for next semester, since I will begin taking Marketing courses.
