Work experience

It was just another regular day working at the Solon Feed Mill, until my friend Spencer texted me. He told me that our other friend, Matthew, had just quit his job at Nelson Electric and that they were looking for another person to work there. Spencer has been one of my best friends all throughout high school. He’s about 6’0, 190 lbs and built like a brick wall. He’s going to go play football at Loras College as a DE/LB. They were going to start a project at Kirkwood in the summer, called the…

proper way to utilize your authority and how you could use it to inspire others. The topics of motivation and power play a large role in this area. It’s important for a manager to have the ability to empower and influence other workers in order to work together towards realizing the major goals of the organization. An essential concept in an organization is the set-up of goals. Goals reflect the intentions and targets that are anticipated to be achieved. For the overall goal to be reached…

ASSIGNMENT Work-family conflict (and family-work conflict) are both linked with a variety of negative outcomes for workers. But as technology becomes omnipresent in peoples’ lives, the line between work and home continues to blur. What effect does this have on well being and job performance? Will people burn out faster than ever before? Balancing the demands of work and responsibilities of the family is an ongoing concern in organisations. We are in the busiest era. Gone are the days of…

Studying the law, on the outside, seems to be dry as dust. With the archaic wording of the law to the sheer volume of laws to keep track of, it’s easy to dismiss law as only being important to attorneys and those that work for them. Yet law isn’t a world of its own. It is our world. A key part to understanding our world is understanding our laws, as both shape the other. Becoming a paralegal puts one on the frontline of this, without having to get as deep in the mire as an attorney would. The…

Response Piece Tiredness Kills! Why risk the lives of innocents just to save a few pennies. What is saving money when compared to saving lives? Junior doctors are being asked to work day in and out and we do not acknowledge them enough, as they are the ones who barely get to sleep at night, since they are fulfilling the needs of patients whilst we are sleeping in our cosy bedding. Then we have the audacity to mistreat them and offer unreasonable pay: this is just outrageous. Jeremy Hunt has…

decided to give up social media during my work week so I had something to keep me busy. That first morning was somewhat hard because I normally look through my phone as a part of my morning ritual. It is just as important as having a morning cup of coffee. I did not give in and scroll through my timeline. I was able to make it out the house for work a few minutes early that morning. I guess giving up social media was all that bad. I had a busy day of work ahead and was hopeful that it would take…

1. When asked to work in pairs for a group project for high school exercise science class, my partner (lets call her Jen for example purposes only) and I got into a very large conflict. It was a project that dealt with knee injuries in sport, and we both had to pick an injury and discuss the causes and rehab solutions for the injury as well as construct a bone joint model for the injury (we choose knee injuries). Jen was taking this course for fun and did not have past experiences with knee…

I heard a rumor that if you are in his senior honors English class he takes a day to answer any and all personal questions you have about him, but only for that class. Now to me this sounds like reason enough to make you work through this class, but unfortunately I didn’t make myself do it. One of my friends Kali Smith took the class last year and apparently knows everything there is about McGee, but apparently also was sworn to secrecy with the punishment of a tortuous death because she isn’t…

keeping your scholarship instead of actually learning material. We forget on a day to day basis the reason we are here and what an opportunity it is to be here. Instead of being grateful for having the chance to get an education, we complain about the work load. We forget we’re here to better our lives and to gain skills. In a setting that values a piece of paper more than your actual knowledge it’s easy to get distracted from the end goal. Through my journeys in life I realized that I got…
