man. Leaving the United States of America for my dad’s military deployment didn’t seem fair to me at first. I didn’t want to leave my family and friends. It didn’t take me long to change my outlook. As I look back at my experience my fondest and most vivid memories of living in Germany are of the swimming pools, or as the Germans say, das Schwimmbad, visiting Hitler’s Eagles Nest, and my first job as a paperboy with Stars and Stripes. I soon discovered that Germans really liked to spend time at…
For most people, the first day of work can be quiet a catastrophe. In fact, standing in a new office can be reminiscent of the first day of kindergarten waiting at the front gate with our hands glued to our mom’s hands unable to let go and take another step. At least during those days, we had teachers to depend on and to show us around the school. In a new office, however, everyone is pre-occupied with work so more often than not, a piece of paper is the only source of guideline to turn to in…
Elizabeth Layman wrote a paper in 2011 titled “Job Redesign for Expanded HIM Functions”. In her paper she applied the principles of goal setting. Specifically, work redesign and job redesign follow reengineering and restructuring so that employee goals remain related to company mission. In some instances of Sector Changes such as preparation and implementation of Classification systems, readying for Standards Committees and federal reimbursement systems, the goals are defined by such preparation…

have been hiring a lot of new employees lately and I think it is important to look at our strengths and weaknesses for our training program. With the holidays coming up, it is essential that we are all well prepared because it does get extremely busy this time of year. I have asked ten guest services representatives in our department on what they think our training strengths and weaknesses are. I have asked trainers, employees that have been there for a long time, and brand new employees on…

Although it did not solve the Great Depression, the new deal certianly provided immediate relief to an economic recovery. As president Roosevelt stressed and hoped by promising to balance the budget, and promised federal relief. The first think President Roosevelt did as president was to declare a national Bank Holiday. The requirement of federal…
war? When I got there, I had no background. I needed to learn everything because I had nothing. Even though I was a teacher, even if you were a doctor, even if you were a lawyer, you knew nothing. It’s a second war to learn from nothing and start a new life. My life after 35 years was over and I had to start again. I had to learn how to pay my bills. We never had to pay for water. We didn’t have electricity. We never even had a phone. The climate was also very different. We had to wear so many…
Lindsey, a new waitress, Virginia, works Friday nights and on Sundays I work alongside with Codie, who also trained me on my first day as a waitress. At the beginning of the shift there’s really nothing to do. The restaurant is still shifting towards table service and customers who already paid for their meals usually occupy most of the tables. There would be a few people with menus, but other than that, there’s not much work that needs to be done. This was a striking contrast to my first day…
I will always remember about my first job in America. Regardless of where I go or proceed forward, I think I will always remember the encounters that I had to confront in there. As my first job, and a new worker I had face a lot of problems days by days at work. It was a life lesson experience, and at that point, I had learned a lot from there. I have acknowledged that there are many ways to approaches the issues in the workplace and how not to let those problems again in later on. One major…
clumsy tendencies, they would think I needed saving, not the other way around. With little to no other options, I had to go for it. I needed a job regardless of my appearance. I was determined to get this job, which I did once passing my swimming and safety exams. I was a bit anxious at the beginning of training, but I practiced CPR after training every day, reviewed the swimming textbook, and succeeded in swimming maneuvers. Like my parents always say: “Don’t let the looks fool…
