Task 4 Work Experience Review

I did everything they asked me too and even more at some times. I always acted appropriately and talked and asked question regularly about the career path. I believe that is being professional. I am a very confident person and I can pick up new skills quite easily. I believe this helped me a lot during my placement. I was able to talk confidently towards the staff and could have the confidence to get close to the children and make bonds with them enough to trust me. I also picked up techniques and pointers from the staff which helped me to develop my skills in working with children. I defiantly developed my skills with talking to older people and my abilities to work with children. I believe that after this placement I would consider working with children in the future. The positive experience I had at my placement really helped me gain confidence in my future career choices and helped me to gain a further understanding of what I enjoy and alternative job ideas. It has reinforced the idea that working in paediatrics is something to defiantly consider for my future career.

The following week, when I walked into her class, the teacher had provided us with a

The teachers were more eager to include me in their classroom. They also seemed to be more attentive to our needs for our courses. Both Mrs. Sweet and Mrs. Brewer immediately started sharing their class materials and classroom structures with us. During my first observation, the discussion came up about opportunities

According to a survey called “The State of American Jobs”, 54% of workers believe that training/skills development throughout their work will be essential, while 33% says that it is important but not essential. In identifying future candidates, skills should be the focal part of this. The demand for particular occupations or specialties are changing every 5 or 10 years, and this is set to accelerate. Most transferable skills remain constant and are tangible. Skills is the foundation of learning. Many tests have come out in order to test skill competencies. This will help employees identify the best employees for the job.

future. In the article Call for Key Workplace Skills to Be Taught written by Alan Thomson the author quotes from the chairman of UK Commission that ?basic skills (generic employability skills) should be written into all college and school curricula? and ?we feel strongly that publicly funded education should make sure that employability skills are core to what it does? to show that colleges should equip their students with employable skills (Thomson 2009). Employability skills such as verbal communication, teamwork, commercial awareness, written communication and time management are not only of use in graduates? career, but also their daily lives. Thomson presents the fact that academic knowledge and technical skills are worth nothing if the worker does not have any employability skill. Therefore, the priority for colleges lays in teaching students employable skills with the aim to cultivate students being well-rounded. Otherwise, it may be difficult for student be successful in the long run. According to David Greatbatch and Peter Lewis, specially their book, Generic Employability Skills II, the service sector jobs occupy the main part of the job market; hence, some employability skills such as verbal communication and written communication are a must in most cases. Moreover, the employability skills such as teamwork are important for people working in a

I am thankful for this opportunity to spend some time at Kids of His Kingdom. I got to meet some really great people and learn how a church based childcare teaches children.

Throughout my previous job roles, I have been able to develop and enhance a set of transferable skills that allow me to adapt and excel in any work environment. I previously worked in the insurance field as an underwriting assistant and a property adjuster for catastrophic claims. As an underwriting assistant, I supported a team of 10 underwriters and handled a heavy load of requests from customers, brokers, managers, and underwriters on a daily basis. My position as an insurance adjuster required precise scheduling to inspect multiple properties, project management, organizational skills, and consistent communication (email, phone, and face-to-face) during times of natural disaster. My previous experiences have prepared me to excel as an

I have chosen to study Midwifery to gain additional qualifications needed to progress onto university level in the health care sector. Long-term, my goal is to become a professional midwife. Health and life are two words that many take lightly. Those same people may also fail to understand that life is a business plan. You have to be a resilient fighter to survive.

The weekly duties involve interacting with primary students, which helps promote a positive mind-set to the children by setting a good example and acting as a role model to the school. I have also achieved a Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award; this experience has greatly improved my leadership, interpersonal and communication skills during my trip in Mauritius. This trip involved community work in which we built an extension to a preschool and interacted with the disadvantaged children. Close communication with these students has opened my eyes to the world of individual differences and gave the students a sense of joy and attachment. I also gained work experience in a centre for autism, where I observed and interacted with a variety of children with a wide range of abilities. I found that ‘Applied Behaviour Analysis’ was used whilst working 1-to-1 with children in order to increase the acquisition of appropriate skills while also decreasing the occurrence of challenging

The three skills I would like to work on are converting “YOU” statements to “I” statements, Responding to Criticism and Assertive Communication. I wanted to work on these particular skills as I need to be more outspoken at work with my manager and would like to improve my communication with my family and friends since they are the ones I socialize with the most.

Although I have gained many skills from my previous jobs, an important skill I would like to gain is self-reliance. Although I do not know if the job I would have is teamwork-based or independent, my past jobs have mainly been working with a team. So I would like to attain some experience in working independently. Another important skill is to be able to be a specialist in the job with my degree, specifically, brain and cognition. This skill would help me to become an expert, which I can use towards future careers. I would like to also improve my past skills, like adaptability, especially since some Co-op jobs are not local, and I have never done a Co-op job before. Adaptability is advantageous to have as those who are able to flow with any

All my hard work and dedication will be further enhanced from my student teaching experience. Applying skills, given to me from the Adam State University teacher education program, will enrich my knowledge of professionalism via guidance given by my mentor teacher, lesson plans I teach a classroom and relationships constructed with students.

I have learned much information about becoming an effective teacher and what can be done to make a community great and I can’t wait to become a teacher at Lindhurst High School to be the person who changed the community

During one my work evaluation I was my manager told me that my background knowledge of the food and beverage industry is what helped me excel in the trainee program. Applying what I learn in school is highly effective and it beneficial to yourself and your employer. It also gave me confidence knowing the general knowledge of the field I am working in so that I can push my limits and exceed expectation. My confidence in general has increased in working because now I have experience and I have set a bar for myself because I know my level of work performance. Now that I have completed my Co-op I see the world through a different perspective. I see that value of work not through just time and money but they experience gained that can be used in

I had scheduled to have an appointment with my PS 210 teacher, Professor Gabriela Rangel, in the Patterson Office Tower. After taking a bit to find the room she was in, I sat down with her and asked questions relating to both her field of teaching, field of study, and herself as a teacher and person.
