Personal Narrative: Working In The Corporate Environment

Up until recently, I was like many of my peers, uncertain about what the future would hold for me. I did not know where exactly I wanted to attend school, what I wanted to study, or what I wanted to do career-wise. But, after taking high school classes like Business Information Management, Human Resources, Banking and Financial Services, and Accounting I, I found my long awaited answer, a fascination in the business and financial world. I loved attending these classes and learning new and exciting

This semester I feel I have grown more as an academic student and as a global citizen. I feel that our Job shadow project helped me be a better Academic student, and that the Malala field trip my school went to helped me become a Global Citizen.These two things have helped me become a better student in their own ways.

I have been working like a machine for the past seven days. I have been getting up at the crack of dawn every morning and getting our oxen ready to go. I try as best I can to help with breakfast so that Mrs. right doesn't have to take care of us that much. After that I wake the children up, we all eat breakfast, and head on our way. When the sun is high in the sky we stop for lunch. Lunch is most likely a sandwich and a small drink of water, then once again, we pack up, and then continue going. A few hours before the sun is about to set, we set up camp. All of the women start making a big dinner, all of the men round up the animals and put them in the circle of wagons, and the children play for a little while. Once that is done we all

There are some internships that I've participated on that have helped me discover my own

I interviewed the boss and manager at Arnett Farms. Even though they are father and son I thought they would be two great people to interview. I picked Dylan becuase he is fairly new in the industry but he has a lot of knowledge and knows what it is like to be in my position. He has been farming pigs for about ten years but he is the same age as I am. He did not go to college for pig farming yet, but you do not have to go to college for all parts of animal science. Picking someone new who is young was important to me because I will be new so I can conncet with Dylan in that way and I have not been to college for aninmal science yet either. Gregg has been doing this for a very long time, so I thought I would also have someone who has the expierence and

My husband was laid off from a project that was expected to run for a year. A new boss came in, and with him were an array of workers he can't abandon. To make the story reluctantly brief, my husband was out of work.

Today after I cleaned two office in place of employee on vacation. I spotted Richard G. Stroupe standing at the back door. He asked why he was not allowed back at the facility. I plainly told him it was because of his poor job performance.

One of my proudest achievements was when I received acceptance into the Center for Excellence in Youth Education for the hospital placement internship. At first, when I was filling out the application, I was afraid because the application asked questions about my average, my PSAT scores, my volunteer experience, and a personalized essay. I knew that I was outstanding in academically, volunteering, and my essay was great because I talked about my interests and my hopes for the future. Although I qualified for a majority of these supplements, I did not do as good as I would have like to on my PSAT; I thought that this factor exempted me as a candidate until I received an email telling me to come in for a 10 minute interview. On the day of my interview, I was the

It was mid April and I was sitting in Mrs. Walker’s Algebra 2 CP class when I was called up to the office. My mood changed within a matter of seconds. The week before Easter, my grandfather who was emitted to Saint Francis Hospital. So when I was called up to the office I knew it had to be about my grandfather. I walked into Mrs. Huffman’s office and she told me my mom was on the phone and she told me the bad news.

She once sat with the other wives of servers without thought of trouble and yet now she was always forced to move to another chair. A wife of a server who husband took care of anyone greater than another’s’ husband had right to demand this bit of respect. With her husband serving a Third Level, every wife of every working server had right to tell her to move. However, it was the wives of those husbands who served the Highest Levels who always took a cruel pleasure in telling her that they wanted her chair even if there were better seats nearby.

Last year, in my summer vacation I used to work in a candy factory. It is very big candy factory. I used to work with Canadian and Portuguese people. I was enjoying my work because there people were very nice and helpful. The thing was they had provided me 12 hours shift. It was such a long shift. There I had to carry heavy candy trays and arrange in an order. Also, in packaging line, I had to package all the boxes very quickly and fill the candies in boxes. It was very hard work. In my 12 hours sift, I used to stand for minimum 11 hours excluding break time. In my vacation time, I used to work every day over there. I was getting very tired. I was feeling pain in my back and sometimes in my heel also. That time I was

Tiara I also worked for a Results Only Manager, and it was not my best experience. The environment was fast-paced, and we were responsible for meeting the need while ensuring we did it adequately and with a smile on our face. However, due to the needs of the company, there came a time when we had to bid for new schedules. Although I ranked #9 out 92 workers, I lost my schedule. The company understood my situation, and they knew that I needed a particular schedule to accommodate my lifestyle as a military spouse, and unfortunately, I lost the schedule I needed. Needless to say, I had to quit my job. I was devastated because I worked hard to meet the goals of the company and I did it well for almost five years; however, the Results Only Managers

Several years back I was in the process of starting my business. It was a challenging time for me and I sought out a few smart people who had been through it and could help me weather the storms and uncertainties. I remember being given Greg's name by a friend and told of his intelligence, grit and warm nature. I called him, introduced myself and offered to drive to Buffalo and buy him lunch if he would be willing to let me learn what I could from his experiences. Greg's response was "Marc, why don't I meet you half way. There's a diner just off the thruway, let's have breakfast and I'll help you as much as I can." The following week there we sat at 7 AM one morning in a small diner somewhere between Rochester and Buffalo. We talked about family and the joys and challenges of life and work. Although I had never met Greg before that morning, I felt as if I had known him for years. He was that kind of guy. He was everything my friend had said he was, and more. From that day forward when I needed advice I often called Greg and he always took my call.
