Personal Narrative: A Career As A Case Manager

Improved Essays
For my first information interview, I interviewed a case manager that graduated from Rutgers University last year. After obtaining her bachelor degree she got a job as a case manager for an independent living program in NJ. Her job was to help teen from 18 to 21 years old. While interviewing her I learned a lot about my major, also what steps I should take while obtaining my bachelor degree. I’m searching for case managers, social workers, and behavior therapist; those are occupations that I’m interested in. I feel that is always important to have a good understanding of what you like before going into the field. After completing all the interviews I will have a better knowledge about those fields, also this will help me to make connection

    We figured that my niece would have to see the error of her ways, get help, take classes, go to group therapy sessions, find a job and conquer her case plan. How long could that possibly take six months? The good news was that my sister who is the children’s Grandmother would be there to help us, getting the babies from daycare and coming home to help out while I juggled homework. We had it all planned out. My father, husband and I took turns taking my niece to her court dates and classes.…

    If a client came in to see me at a social service center needing a place to stay, my first step would be to engage the client by establishing a professional relationship with them. This means making sure that the client understands that while I will care about them, the purpose of the relationship is to work together and equip them to address problems in their life. From there we would establish why they believe that they are seeing a social worker and begin to form a plan from there. Secondly, we would begin to analyze their strengths in their current situation to determine a path of action.…

    As I entered my senior year of undergrad, I began looking for an opportunity to work with people requiring any form of health care assistance. Luckily, I came across an opening for a Personal Care Assistant (PCA) position in the school newspaper. At the time, I didn’t know exactly what a PCA was, but I knew I wanted to work one-on-one with patients, and this job would allow me to do exactly that. After I went through all the training that was required, it was finally time to meet my client. The only details my supervisor told me about my client were: his name, that I would be assisting in driving him around in his handicap accessible van, getting him dressed, monitoring him during his walking exercises, and that he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy as a child and was bound to a wheelchair.…

    This article was very interesting to me because I have experienced working in a toxic environment and seen firsthand the destruction it can cause.

My goal is to learn as much about healthy and effective leadership and to pass along those positive lessons to the individuals I mentor. I find this quite relevant to my career in the Human Resources field.…
