Most Important: Chance to do thing you do best, Amount of pay, Amount of freedom you have on your job
Explanation: All three of these factors fit with my career choice. I thrive in an environment where I am given the chance to do what I do best. The amount of pay is important and that is why I plan to pursue a masters in counseling, which will provide an extra income through private practice. The amount of freedom I have in my job is important. I would not do well in an environment where I had to ask permission before I made an important decision.

The job outlook between 2014–2024 was 19%, which is much faster than the average. Some psychologists work independently, conducting research, consulting with clients, or working with patients.
3. Discuss the connection between education and employment.
New service industry jobs require enhanced skills and proficiencies, many demanding successful applicants to possess college degrees and other certifications. According to the OOH “Education is essential in getting a high–paying job.” The BLS states that “Education is an important determinant of labor market outcomes. The more education a person has, the more likely he or she is to be in the labor force and the less likely he or she is to be unemployed.” According to the text, a person’s capacity to earn more can be directly related to their level of education.
4. Choose, type the question, and answer any two “Mind Stretches” from the end of Chapter 1: Employment Trends: The World of Work.”
1) What role do you think education will play in the future? – I believe education will continue to play a large role in the future. If I’m honest with myself, I think most jobs will be looking for applicants who hold a master or doctor degree rather than just a bachelors. I think the more college graduates there are the higher the educational requirements will be for the

– Yes, I do think there is a danger. For example, if you weren't able to find a job or an employer willing to hire you, you run the risk of feeling inadequate. If you were able to find a job you run the risk of experiencing burn out. I think its one thing to know what you want and another thing to expand and embrace potential job opportunities.
2) What negatives would you want to be aware of in considering a job as a correctional officer? – I would want to be aware of the potential for irregular hours and heavy caseloads. Going into a job as a correctional officer thinking you will be working an 8 to 5 would be a disappointing.
3) Can you think of unique skills that could make a job candidate more attractive to a hiring agency? – Yes, I think being able to present yourself in a way that is professional yet personable is a quality most employers are looking for. Other skills could include honesty, integrity, adaptability, problem–solving, self–confidence, and loyalty. Possessing most of these qualities would classify an individual as having a unique skill
Counseling uses two types of assessment to get a better understanding of their clients which are testing and diagnosis. Clients have the privilege to understand the purpose of what an assessment process involves and counselors are responsible to maintain the security test that they use and the proper supervision for the test-taking process (Remley & Herlihy, 2014, p.289). Chapter 11 discusses the dynamics of using psychological tests when assisting to resolve clients’ problems.
The writer Paul addresses the Galatians, "Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. and he goes on to explain to them, "Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead be filled with the Holy Spirit. The scripture also tells us to, "Cast all your anxiety upon him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded and alert. Your advisary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your
I choose scenario B and I would tell my partner that I am sorry but I cannot do that, it is illegal in the state and I can’t put my job on the line for this. I very sorry for what he and his wife are going through but doing this is wrong and there is other ways to get help for her pain. I would also tell him that I would help in any other way but this is not the way to do it and talk to him on what they have and have not done and maybe give him more information on what he has not done so they can go this way and not worry about our jobs being on the line. I would also tell him that I can’t arrest him just for speeding and there would be questions on why I arrested him and soon or later they would figure out what happen. I am not going to fake an arrest for him it’s not fair to anyone and the guy would know that we took the marijuana and turn us in, because they do not play with their drugs and that is another way we can get caught and then if you get caught what will happen to your wife.
After reading through the chapter on the DMIS stages (denial, defense, minimization, acceptance, adaptation, and integration), I would say that personally, I fall under the “acceptance” stage. “This stage represents an individual’s ability to recognize and appreciate cultural difference in terms of both people’s values and their behavior” (Cushner, McClelland, Safford, Pg. 152). As it states, the individual experiencing acceptance is “beginning to demonstrate the ability to interpret phenomena within a cultural context”, I believe that this is a fitting sentence for myself. Being that I am from a rural prairie town in the middle of nowhere in Oklahoma, and the only people where I lived were other Senecas like my family and friends, I did not experience a cultural shock until I was in the sixth grade and had moved to Florida. In this town in Oklahoma, it was rare to even see someone described as “white”, as racial prejudice is still rampant throughout Oklahoma against Natives and basically, everybody who isn’t. I was taught to be accepting and welcoming throughout my life, and I believe that made the transition into a new cultural system much easier.

The episode starting with Sam hallucinating that he was in bed with Toni. I believe that Sam would rather endure both his feet being burned then lose control of his mind. When he became lucid you could feel his pain and humiliation at giving Toni any answers. Sam looked so relieved to see Dean alive his entire demeanor changed. When Mary appeared you could see Sam’s surprise and wonder.
Wednesday: Sitting in Campbell's office, Anna pictures how her funeral would be like if not that many people would attend unlike Kate's funeral. While thinking, Campbell receives a call from Anna's mother stating that Anna has changed her mind on sueing her. Listening to the call, Anna declares that that is a false statement.
After learning more about the Pygmalion effect, it typically discusses how individuals often children or students may turn to live up to what’s expected of them, in which they perform better when someone sets high expectations for them. The Pygmalion effect was also called the Rosenthal effect based on the classic experiment by Rosenthal and Jacobson. During their experiment during the beginning of the school year, Rosenthal and Jacobson told the teachers that this test was to predict which students would bloom intellectually during the academic year. Both Rosenthal and Jacobson deceived the other teachers by telling them that the most intellect students have been tested by a new methodology which determines
I was working late, which is usual since I work at an outdoor theater. The show had just ended and the crew was changing the set over for the show being performed the next day. I was asked to run up to one of the storage containers and find some props from the previous year for another theater asking to borrow it. The lights only reach the larger, main room. I searched that area first. I went around the row of cars and 4 wheelers, but the box wasn’t there. The other side of the room had all of the Christmas decorations and a horse carriage, but I was unable to find the box I was looking for there either. The only place left to look was a small area in the back sectioned off by a boards nailed up into a makeshift room. A little light spilled through the door, but racks of costumes at the entrance absorbed all of the light. After fighting my way through the dusty clothes, I found myself in dark too thick to make out the boxes in front of me. The Wnad-Lighting Charm was perfect for my situation. I moved my wand in a single loop while saying “Lumos.” A soft yellow light was emanating from the wand. It wasn’t very bright, but it was sufficient enough to read the labels on the boxes by. After a few minutes, I found the box I was looking for. I pulled out my leatherman and used the blade to cut the tape on the top of the box. On the top was the prop I was looking for. I pulled out the “magic” flowers and the remote that caused the blooms to open then made my way back to
With the little sleep, the team had gotten the last couple of nights, the prospect of settling into the third camp seemed to be a Godsend. To pass the bitter hours of punishing winds and a screaming storm, a lengthy game of poker was played with some cards my grandfather had gifted me a spell back. The stakes weren't exactly high; most of the tents occupants either didn't know a good hand when they saw one or they gave themselves away when their luck seemed to change. It was around 03:00 am and I was £95 and 28.50₣ richer. We got the word to pack up and ready ourselves. It’s show time. Most were in surprisingly high spirits and chipper for being over 15,000ft above the ground with little oxygen. Only when the trek started did their spirits
The goal of selection programs are to capitalize on individual differences in order to select the applicants who possess the greatest amount of particular characteristics that have been assess to be the most important for job success (Cascio & Aquinis, 2011). This goal can be met by utilizing a classical approach to personnel selection. The classical approach to personnel selection starts with the job analysis. From the job analysis sensitive, relevant and reliable criteria are selected on a basis of importance to describe the job specifications that represent knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics (KSAOs) that potential applicants are desired to have for the job (Cascio & Aquinis, 2011).
