Review Of ' First Job '

Teens work to help them gain work experience for jobs that they will take in the future. “Clark is a 16 year old who talks about how working experience can help teens like him to succeed in their career” (“Africa News Service” 1). Working experience can build a sense of confidence for teens . “Many teens talk about how having a chance to work makes them confident as a human being” (Scherer 1). Teens want work experience so they can improve in their weak points. “Bailey talks about how she was very shy, but until she started working she had become more open towards people” (2). Teens getting working experience and equally treated will help them be confident and grow up to be a good example of an

The Home of the Infants, The Home of the Students, Time of Mating, and The Home of the Useless. In reality, society upholds the same expectations coming from those phases. We are all expected to follow one way of life. But what’s wrong with not fulfilling that ideal standard? If it weren’t for dropping out of college, Bill Gates may have never been able to become the founder of Microsoft— Steve Jobs and Michael Dell as well in respect to their companies. Although, take mind that I am not encouraging that for everyone. What I am trying to convey through those specific entrepreneurs’ stories is that one way of life is not suited for everybody.

Velazquez, Jackie, Research Paper Many people believe that in order to have success in your future, you must be born with talent.

Not everybody is simply born with the ability to work well with whatever task they are given. They key and answer to finding a job you’re good at, or even finding a job that people have had no past experience doing, and working with it well, is working hard to be the best they can be.

Dr. Leamnson’s passion in his write up “Learning your First Job” is what surprised me the most because he was blunt and fearless. In like manner, one may read an article and can detect that the writer was not interested in the topic he/she is writing about. This was not the case; the article was a clear, cut, concise and straight to the point lesson on how to be that all around “A” student. It’s a reminder for most to stay on their “A” game.

My selected article is Some Lessons From the Assembly Line by Andrew Braaksma. According to Andrew Braaksma having some experience in a real-world, this job setting helped him perceive the importance of education. He mentions that the lessons in his life that he learned were at the expense of others misfortunes. The individuals around him became the reason for his clarity and gratitude for the education he is receiving. The article's theme of the lessons that are learned through experience are well argued because the author incorporates challenges with the work-load the job came with, provides pros and cons of working at real world job, and mentally grasps the work ethic the factory taught him.

This essay is focused on the study of advantages on future career brought by work experience among graduates.With the growing popularity of so called 'sandwich' courses among universities in UK and Australia, many students would like to spend several months or even one more year for the chance of working in the industry before graduation from universities. A 'sandwich' course is usually organized by institutions as a university degree course which allows students to engage in the industrial placements for six to twelve months(Highfliers Research Ltd, 2012). Other than this kind of long-term work experience, placements during the

She talked about her experiences at the 6 jobs she held, for instance, The Maids she was an overachiever completed her tasks faster than other employees. However, she helped them to complete their cleaning duties. Second position at Wal-Mart, the critical aspect for anyone to be silent and not do more than required otherwise managers would expect more from that employee. It was better for an employee to work smarter and not harder. One of the jobs, she enjoyed was at Woodcrest nursing home, helping seniors with Alzheimer. Each of these jobs came with new policies, regulation, job descriptions, various cultures, dynamics, socioeconomic status and human micro level interactions (Ehrenreich, 2001, p. 194 to 195)

I was very keen to join the working world as soon as I was old enough to do so, and as a result I have acquired a wide range of professional skills and experiences. I

Employment continues to be one of the fastest growing industries. Employment can be found about in any occupations. Jobs vary from a business setting, to Production Company, to small organizations and more. Above all, employment comes with requirements and knowledge’s that employers seek to satisfy their needs. If one does not meet the requirement nor have the qualifications it is a competitive industry that continues to impact many job seekers and had impacted my parents. My mother who migrated to America over thirty years ago had experienced several of employment opportunities. An American born, I understand that my work experience may be different to my mother. To compare and contrast it will allow me to evaluate the different work experiences

What did it mean to be Roman? To be Roman meant to be content with what was yours and not long for what was another’s. It meant to have a strong will of mind to not get attached to earthly pleasures, things, and even to people. For instance, in his manual of

In his article, “Some Lessons From The Assembly Line” Braaksma (2005) asserts that the typical college student feels that their college education should be tailored to their sensibilities for scheduling as well as the expectation of outputs. Not knowing how easily one’s fortunes can be reversed, Braaksma’s peers moved through their education with the belief they were above the daily struggles commonly seen in the blue-collar workforce. Instead of learning the value of hard work, the modern attitude seems to be one of entitlement of all things with little to no effort. One almost gets the sense that the work ethic of today’s youth has suffered due to the relative ease required to perform most summer or part-time jobs. The main theme of the article, that a strong work ethic is an asset to future endeavors, is persuasive because it highlights the importance of an understanding of the intrinsic value of an education, comprehension of the uncertainty the job market, and the satisfaction of a job well done.

Just right after graduate, some students might have hard time to find a professional position as an engineer. During the interview, this engineer suggests that from the different perspectives, the students should get employed first, then, think about their career. In “Your First Job Doesn’t (Really) Matter,” Jodi Glickman, a contributor to the Harvard Business Review, describes the pre-job training and knowledge that people learn should not be all for their professional learning. Indeed, she says what she did do is “learn a whole lot about myself, about relating to others, about adjusting expectations and managing difficult workplace environments” (Glickman). Same as what Glickman describes, Mr. King did not suggest that student should immediately get into their professional working when they get their first job or do not be too concerned about whether their first job is related to their major. For them, the most

“Hard skills are the foundation of a successful career. But soft skills are the cement”. –

I feel I was one of the lucky one who got a job in very nice and organized company. I received a good salary, had a nice working environment and was given respect by other employees which were really amazing despite being the youngest employee. When I entered in this job, I knew nothing. I was completely inexperienced and unskilled worker but after working here, this job helped me to improve my working skills such as how to communicate with people around me, never try to be hypocrite, stay calm and focus only on my work. Having a job also taught me to value my own work, and what I put into something. As my mother said, this job also taught me how to handle my responsibilities by myself. I became responsible for some of my own expenses. This was a valuable experience for me. I learned the value of the money and taking my own decisions about what I spend my money on. On Short, I feel that if a person works just for the sake of money then there’s no point of working. Yes, money is important but no person can enjoy the work if that person is only working there for the sake of

Business Studies is an important course that prepares students to face the real practice of commerce. Engaging theory and practice is instrumental in ensuring that students learn the underlying factors that determine the practice of every business practice. Carroll and Buchholtz (2011) suggest that business forms the backbone of the current economic activities as every activity of human life must involve some loss and gain together. Additionally, he notes that entrepreneurship is taking deep roots in the society, a condition which mandates everybody to possess some knowledge in business. Drawing reference from the aforementioned statements, it is important for the society to have individuals who possess not only
