Hi Austra, I really enjoyed listening to your video and think it is great that you are open to learning. I also see that you are a visual learner. It is great that in order to deal with the anxiety that can come from starting an internship that you are taking notes, reading client files, and becoming familiar with the policies and procedures of the agency you are at. I am incorporating these same tactics, while also shadowing and asking questions of the team I have been assigned to. Are you finding that this is working for you and has lessened any anxiety you have felt? My children are both adults, but I can imagine that working, raising a family, and this internship can be challenging at time. The only advice I can give, is that through personal
Jordan interviewing for a part-time job at a fast food restaurant would need to leave a positive impression to the interviewer so that he can get hired for the job. For the interview, there are a couple of traits that Jordan will want to display to the interviewer to show that he has a good personality. First and foremost, he needs to display the characteristics of an extroverted person. British psychologist Hans Eysenck proposed a model of universal source trait which includes the introversion-extroversion dimension and the neuroticism-emotional stability dimension. In the extroversion dimension, a person high on the extraversion scale directs his energies outward toward the environment and other people and would be more outgoing and sociable,
I had a Political science professor that once said “Political survey answers depend more on how a question is asked than on what the question is asking.” I read and reread the above question. I have to admit that even after 15 weeks of topic discussions, PowerPoint, text chapters and Google; I am still confused about how tax expenditure works. The nearest I can figure out and in plain English, it is simply a tax break. That being said, this question is very methodically asked. The term “anti-poverty programs” is a gentle, non threatening term that will be met with compassion and kindness among more than 85% of (surveyed) US citizens. Second “tax expenditures” is a confusing term associated with the mean IRS that must have something to do with the government taking hard earned money and doing something with it, but what? Who knows? The final term is the big, bad anti-conservative term that only about 11% of surveyed Americans actually greet with any positivity. So the question in our subconscious mind flows something like: “What are the advantages and disadvantages of helping people who need it with your tax money instead of giving it to people who don’t want to work?” But that’s not what the question is asking. Because I know that my subconscious takes into consideration, the information it believes is true. First anti-poverty programs, such as Medicaid, are in most people’s minds still welfare. Before the New Deal many of the anti-poverty programs, as well as welfare (utility assistance, help purchasing groceries, etc.) were funded completely through private charities....
Ben Moche, a Holocaust survivor, was interviewed about his life and how the Holocaust changed his way of living. Grele stated that most interviews are not credible, however Moche’s interview refutes this with the way the interviewer and the interviewee interacted with each other.
My biggest improvement in this English 111 class was my writing. Writing tasks that were assigned greatly strengthened my overall performance throughout the course, preparing me for the future classes. The environment made me feel at ease, helping me evolve as a student, and as a person. The environment made me feel at ease, preparing me for future classes. Another large achievement of mine that I displayed in the class, was my ability to talk comfortably with the other students. The variety of group activities we did allowed me to openly speak my opinion, leading to a better overall performance with my work and papers. The English 111 class enabled me to have better participation in and out of class and allowed
The subject of this paper is Liz, a 52-year old, 1.5 generation female immigrant from Hong Kong. What this means is that she immigrated to the United States when she was a child, around 7-years old (Feliciano Lec. 1/4/2016). As a child of a family that consists of five siblings and two parents that did not speak any English prior to immigrating, the focus of this paper will be on the legal processes that the family went through to become legal immigrants and the various factors that aided in her path towards assimilation.
For this assingment, I interviewed Simar Barkatullah, a junior at Loyola University Chicago. I have known Simar for quite a few years. She is not only a very close friend, but also my neighbor. Simar and I previously had multiple conversations about Islam. She plays a large part in getting me to where I am regliously, and continues to encourage me to be a better Muslim.
As I sat down with Jordan Fisher, on April 30th, we looked out the window to a gloomy, rainy day. It was wet and nasty day, but Jordan agreed to sit down with me to discuss his position as an HR officer. Jordan started with the Federal Government, 30 years ago at the age of 20. Now 50 Jordan is looking forward to retiring with his wife, stating “I enjoy it here, I really do—but I can’t wait to retire.” While Jordan plans to work for one more year before retiring, the knowledge and experience that he has gained from the position will never leave him. Jordan has been a very successful H.R. official because he has integrity, used effective communication and proper documentation.
I chose to interview Regina Geis, who holds the administrative role as acting supervisor for the County Mental Health adult day program, which provides services for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Ms. Geis has held this position for 15 months. This is her first managerial position within a human service agency. Her style of management has changed over this short period of time. She feels that she is now more direct with her direction with staff. She stated, “Maybe now I come across as a little bit cold. But I have learned that I now have to use the least amount of words to get my point across.”
To inspire and influence others, a leader must possess many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Peter Northouse, states, “a leader should be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant” (Northouse, 2013) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.
The purpose of the interview is to recruit a qualified caregiver for one of the patient's rehabilitation facilities. The location or the address is in Scottsdale, Az. 85258. I believe the time should be negotiable with interviewers and interviewees, so interviewees feel comfortable enough to manage suitable schedule according to their availability. As an interviewer, I prefer to set an early time as could as possible, so it is going to be on 10 a.m. I always prefer to set the interviews in the conference room in our facility, because it is prepared and decorated to provide an appropriate environment for both interviewers and interviewee. The interview process will be a combined interview between behavioral and situational types, because of
One "ah-ha" learning moment I had this week was setting up the interview with my sponsor. The most complicated part so far in the interviewing process was writing the email to the sponsor. I wasn't sure what to write at first and rewrote the email a couple of times before I finally got the wording that I was looking for. I was aiming to sound professional but I didn't want to make things too complicated or have the wording seem unnatural. My sponsor did not respond right away so it left me on edge for the remainder of the day. Making plans between our schedules was easy, we were both available on similar days. I also struggled writing those emails as well, I wanted to make a good first impression so I had to keep rewording and rewriting to
When we were first given this assignment I had not put much consideration into it. I thought we were to ask a couple of questions, it would all work itself out and I would be done. But this was not the case. The thought and reflection put into interview questions really surprised me. There was far more factors other than the questions you were asking, because you were also dealing with people, people who are giving you there free time, their attention and opening themselves up to you a stranger, so there were far more responsibilities then what were initially at hand.
I spent much of the day sitting at my desk wondering what I could do to make myself look busy. I was not given any instructions upon my arrival and I was never really given instructions in general throughout the entire experience. I expected someone to take me under their wing and show me exactly what to do on a daily basis. That dream soon died after I realized my job was to sit at my desk and find busy work until I was told to do something or I was working on one of my three projects. Unfortunately, I was disappointed at first because I expected so much more from this internship, but I soon realized everything I learn, no matter how small, will help me in the long
Interviewer’s responses are an important principle in the interviewing process, just like many other standards that are involved such as interpersonal influence and attraction. The interview is meant to be purposeful, responsible and goal directed, and the assessor’s responses greatly influence the achievement of these objectives. These responses can either be characterized as effective or avoided (ineffective). Examples and discussion of both types of responses will be given for a list of statements made by a client during an interview that will depict how it could affect the conversation. Once the examples and discussion have been explained, my thoughts will be shared on why the clinical interview is such an important component of a psychological
