Recommended: Essay on career growth

It is expected that usually nobody looks forward to their first job, but that wasn’t the case for me. I remembered wanting a job last summer, but I never put the effort in looking for one or even knew what kind of job I wanted to take. But, someone I knew approached me about a job that deals with working with kids. When she recommended me, I got the job, and I went from there. Up to this day, I look forward to going to work. I was able to get my job through a connection I had. I was recommended because my Youth Director, Aolele, knew someone who was in need of a worker for the organization that her brother, Emmanuel, was in charge of. Emmanuel immediately wanted to hire me, and we began the paperwork process for the job position. From there

    Word of mouth was the most commonly used way for a person to find a service job. Most common people of the times were servants in aristocratic households. Those that knew the persons in those households could put out the word that they were in need of a position. The servants could in turn communicate with other servants from different households that someone is looking for a position. In many cases this worked better than going through an agency. At least the prospective employee had a person they knew looking for the job; not a person just looking to make some money.

    I was hired quickly and kept my first job for a year. During that year, I worked quite often, which had affected my school work. I didn’t make time to study and went to bed late most nights. As much as I wanted to quit, I kept working. I wanted to quit, because I feared I couldn’t keep up with school anymore. It terrified me that I would fall so behind, and never get anywhere in life. I kept faith, and I worked hard to get where I am today. I never gave up. I did not like asking for money at home, because I knew everyone was already struggling. I felt like I needed my job, so that I could make money to pay for things myself. Without work, I wouldn’t have any lunch money for school. My grandparents helped as much as they could. It's not their job though, I felt that it wasn’t fair they had to keep spending their money on me. Working has taught me great skills. I was shy before my first job. I am now more outgoing and social; I love meeting new people. I still work to this very day, and I am working hard in school. With good time management, I’m able to keep up with

  • Personal Narrative: My First Job

    I had spent 4 of those 6 years hating to get up in the mornings to go to work. That was an extremely difficult time in my life. I grew up being told never to quit a job until you have another one, but I’m a firm believer that being unhappy in your job affects everything else around you. A normal work day is 8 hours 5 days a week. That means most people could spend more time at work than at home. It’s important to be happy and satisfied with what you’re spending so much of your time away from your family doing. After this experience I have approached looking for positions differently. I look for jobs that I know I can be passionate about and I can provide a service to other

    I have spent most of my adult life working in a job that I take very little joy from. The joy I have experienced in my current employment is helping others and providing them a reason to smile. What can top that feeling I get from helping an adult customer? Helping the children understand a math problem or seeing their face when they realized that they have read a page out of a book. Seeing a child face light up when they are having fun but learning as well. It is a great experience to get a child excited about learning. Their excitement builds my own excitement. Through out my years in high school I looked forward to going to 4-H camp as a counselor. I volunteered at the local club when I was old enough to do so. I knew it would be full of responsibilities to take care of and watch over children. It took patients and endurance to walk in the hot sun for most of the day doing nature walks but it also takes patients to encourage children to try new things and continue the path to have a great week at camp. The first year, I guided swimming and then I taught arts and crafts. For those years at camp, I was able to share something I love. It is absolutely rewarding. I also have the great experiencing in teaching and preparing basic skills to an eight year old child. J...

    I twist the clown's face so that it evolves into my happy face reflecting in the bathroom mirror. I hold authority over my creation. I sculpt friendships out of an ideal. I mold beauty from impossible dreams. I chisel acceptance from my imagination. I fool myself every day. My perpetual game misleads me. I am willing to be cheated into happiness. I'm happy because my story is believed. I will my smiling image to hold true. Every time I replay the image in my mind, its holes are filled in, its attached authenticity is stronger, and my faith in it is renewed.
