In America some jobs are more sought after than others, and to hold these positions without having it taken away requires experience and a good work ethic. There are many ways to show that a person has a good work ethic. Some are going to college and graduating with good grades. Others are getting and holding a job in or after high school or doing internships. However, there can be complications when a person is trying to show their interviewer that they have a good work ethic. Without a previous job or internship there is not much information about the individual applying for the job. Thus the employer might choose another worker. Even if the person without a previous job or internship is a harder worker with a better work ethic, they cannot show this until they are hired, and that is a risk that several companies do not take. Impressing potential employers requires the ability to show that one can receive and hold a previous job, or have been an internship that give the intern with experience in the work field. One way to make a resume impressive is to have prior work experience. Not only does this show that a person can hold a position at a place of work, but it also gives the potential employer a source to contact and receive more information about that individual. Having a prior job can make you appear to be a better candidate for the prospective job than someone with the same education and work ethic, but has not had a job. In fact, college students may
Growing up, I was a child who encountered many hardships. As I came to an age to begin realizing an underprivileged childhood I lived, I learned overlook it and live on. I began to ask myself “What does it take to live a lifestyle of true comfort financially?” This is a question which I reflect on every day and is one which motivates me to flourish. Raised by a single mother within a lower economic class, we often ran into very tough times. At one point we had to completely pack up and relocate and live in my grandfather’s house. Discomfort cannot describe the reality or feeling, however we were blessed to have Family, family that we could rely on. At the age of 14, I set a goal that would require my best work to become a successful financial advisor. I will not let my childhood define my future; rather I will control my destiny through my experiences and my accomplishments as a result of work ethic.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to score the winning touchdown, the walkoff home run, the game winning goal, or even the basket that won you the game? I haven’t done all of these, but I have had the privilege to do a couple of them. The things that have helped me with my athletic ability has been the teammates and coaches, the work ethic that I have and my family. Having the athletic ability that I have today, is shaping who I will be in the future.
One of the things that I think I did really well was that I provided a lot of great detail in my job application letter. I emphasized doing this in my job application letter because I wanted to show the employer that I had the skills that he wanted. For example, I know that for accounting internships, a basic understanding of Excel. However, my previous internship gave me more than basic skills in Excel. I made sure that I explained that I had more than a basic understanding of Excel with my pivot table story. This story not only shows that I have a strong understanding of pivot tables, a complex skill in Excel, but also shows how quickly I learned on the fly. Showing that I learned this skill really fast indirectly makes my application
was raised by my parents to never lose sight of my goals and to always have a positive work ethic. My parents were born in India and they moved to Canada in hopes that their children could have a better life. They work hard everyday so that my siblings and I do not have to quit school like they did. My greatest eye opening experience was when I started working with my mother as a general factory worker in grade ten. The working conditions were very tough in which we stood for long hours and we had to be constantly working quickly. I met many great women and men who were new immigrants and heard their struggles in their birth country. However, despite all of the pressure they were thankful for their job and to be living in Canada. At the young
My previous employment has taught me that I am approachable, I can work efficiently within a team and that I communicate well with others. For example, my experience working within the NHS as a dental nurse, has taught me that I had the right skills necessary to be successful in a healthcare career. In this particular role, I had to work efficiently under pressure to ensure that patients were being cared for, and made to feel calm. I learned that I have a friendly and sympathetic approach towards patients, even during stressful times when we had to work quickly. I had a good relationship with all my work colleagues.

In addition., that I can used this project and use it as a recommendation on one of my meeting and do a presentation about it so my employer see the importance in making an action to help that the issues of retaining nurses need a change as soon as possible .
Interesting topic. I literally had this discussion a few weeks ago at my workplace. In my current career we are having a hard time to find good reliable people and I have experienced what you have discussed with trying to fill a position. I believe the work ethic begins at home. I am an young millienal, but my work ethic do not fit the stereotype given to millennials. My family are dairy farmers and we raise tobacco so I learned at a young age what hard work is and how important it is to be reliable and dependable. In order for my family to be successful farmers everybody had to do their share and I was taught what was expected of me. Now that I live in the city I see a lot of individuals not caring or having good work ethic mainly due to being
I have acquired effective learning and personal habits through my dedication and hard work, which have allowed me to reach new heights and have assisted me in accomplishing my own goals. Work ethic has helped me develop a high level of learning habits. My dreams and goals have been accomplished by employing the skill of work ethic in my daily life.

Thus showing my comprehension on the subject and how I use my work ethic.
Writing an admission essay to the school of my dreams, such a surreal thought. As an eight year old I dreamt of going to college to get a degree as a doctor. As ignorant as I was, I never thought that it would take as much effort and work as it has. Now, as an almost eighteen years old I see the effort that is need to get the career I am after. Not because of my own personal work ethic but due to the slew of obstacles that have been thrown in my path from day one.
Work ethic is primarily claiming hard work does pay off in the long run. If one is ready to put the time, the dedication, and effort in advancing towards success, than nothing can stop them.The reasoning for this is because once it’s integrated into the mind that the only way to reach success is by doing certain tasks a certain way, the only obstacle to face is themselves. The key to having a good work ethic is by possessing a strong sense of self discipline and dedication, which lead to the path of success.
I have been told that the real world is no all that it is cracked up to be and to appreciate the time I have left before I embark on the next phase in my life. Perhaps it is naïve belief from an idealistic youth and come time I may end up one day thinking otherwise but I’m ambitious. My parents raised me with the knowledge that hard work and determination will led to success. I have adhered to this advice to the best of my ability.
An employer is not going to call someone who has average skill when there is someone with extraordinary skills and references. A successful resume includes a cover letter, which is the first impression to the boss. A good interview plays an extremely important part in the hiring stage. Most employers make up their mind within the first five minutes on whether or not someone has the job. A person needs to dress professional and be prepared for every possible question that can be asked. According to Dave Ramsey, it is best to wear a navy blue to an interview. For women, it its best to have either light pink nails, or natural colored nails going to an interview. One of my high school teachers got passed up at an interview at another school because she had bright orange nail polish on her toes. Researching a company before going into the interview can be very helpful. They could ask a random question about the company and being able to answer it, could very well get them the job. There are all sorts of things that tie into getting a
To contextualize and fully understand the problem we must first understand the debate about technology. Technology is highly criticized over whether it is good or not. Some of the complaints about technology are that it is leading to a lack of work ethic. Derrick Thompson, a renowned journalist who has degrees in political science and journalism, in his piece A World Without Work, he realizes that whereas, technology is entertaining and accessible, but as it replaces jobs and putting more and more people out of work it is causing an effect where people are giving up and losing their work ethic and becoming lazy. In fact when he says, “The jobless don’t spend their time socializing or taking up new hobbies. Instead, they watch TV or sleep” (Thompson
During my junior year of high school, I worked for a company called HMS Host at my local airport. That is where I created my work ethic. I know that I am a hard worker and when I am told to do a job, I try to do it right. I remember this one time I was asked by my manager to stay a couple hours more because they were short staffed for the afternoon. I just finished my 10 hour shift and they wanted me for at least 4 more hours and I agreed. I knew I needed the money to help pay bills. I ended up staying for 6 hours because we were so busy but I still worked those hours with the same amount of energy as the morning. I believe that hard work gets you places and I push myself to be a hard
