When I first contacted the Rutherford County Elections Coordinator, I talked to her boss, Alan Farley. I have known Alan since I started here at Middle Tennessee State University. He is the Elections Administrator. At the beginning, I believed that I was to interview him. He thought that it was odd because he is not employed by Rutherford County. He is employed by a board, and his job description is in a Tennessee State Handbook. When I arrived to my interview with him, he realized that I was to interview Rhonda McFerrin, the elections coordinator. This was not a problem. He even sat in on our interview. Rhonda McFerrin was a delightful lady, and I really enjoyed talking with her. She was very honest with me about her job, and I really enjoyed …show more content…
Richmond, I started out with the “Essential Functions” section of the Rutherford County job description. She agreed that all of the functions listed were still applicable to her position as the Elections Technical Specialist. However, she had one small change to the functions. There was one function that stated, “Prepares customized voter lists, labels, and diskettes for use within the office, sale to candidates, or other purposes”. Ms. Richmond pointed out that instead of diskettes, they now use CDs. I actually had to ask her what a diskette was while I was interviewing her. Continuing on with the interview, she agreed that the “Additional Functions”, “Minimum Qualifications”, and “Performance Aptitudes” sections applied to her position. When we reached the “Physical Demand Analysis” section of the interview, I realized there was a section for an election year and a section for a nonelection year. She said that the maximum continuous time of sitting during an election year is higher than 4 hours because she spends a lot of time answering phone calls to answer questions about the election. She also wanted to point out that during a nonelection year, she is exposed to noise daily because the office is slightly noisy with all of the phone calls and Rutherford County citizens coming in with
The fact that it was a phone conversation made it even more difficult because I barely had time to prepare to take notes and that put a damper on the excitement I had for the interview. It made me feel like she didn’t have time for me or, even more so, that she was too busy talking to people who don’t influence her work. I at least expected them to have the same topics of importance. It is obvious that Elk Grove Village cares about its industrial and business sector and is trying to maintain it, but their justifications and reasoning for its importance are different. To the Trustee, it is for the benefit of the residents.
Majority of the interview was based from questions that surfaced as she would answer previous questions,
She tells her story to anyone her asks about her past, and it always seems to affect them in a positive way. She tells anyone who is currently going through what she has experienced, to not give up, and stay head strong. She empathies with them and counsels them in any type of way that could help them. She very strong wiled and head strong, but also extremely kind and caring towards others. Her quote to everyone is, “Success is admired because is not easy to do and not everyone archives it, but if you do teach
Nicole was not only my hygienist, she was also my role model. Her enthusiasm about dental hygiene as a career choice sold me immediately. She educated me on the importance of oral hygiene; the health benefits it has on the whole body. She was compassionate for her patient's needs and detailed oriented; establishing and maintaining work relationships with others. She guided me through the steps of becoming a dental hygienist; I was taught to read x-rays, measure periodontal pockets and allowed me scale models. You never know when your influence will ignite a spark in someone else.
As an intern for a television station, I see firsthand how strangely some people behave when you point a camera at them. Once, when I accompanied the camera crew to a local mall, we had trouble interviewing the manager because of all the teenagers who stood behind him, waving, grinning, and yelling out comments as if he or she were the reason the cameras were there. Among my favorite assignments is street interviews. When the interviewer tries to stop someone on the street to ask them a question, some people just shake their heads and walk on. Other people look at their shoes and mumbles the briefest possible answer. There is always at least one-star quality interviewee who looks directly into the camera and gives a polished answer that sounds
Back in May, the Wisconsin State Assembly Races were just starting to heat up. Candidates were throwing their names in the ring and people were experiencing potential candidates knocking on their doors and collecting signatures to reach the 200 minimum threshold to get their names on the ballot in August. I knew that I wanted to intern for a candidate in an assembly race because I had a few interesting races in the area I am from. I wanted to work for an assembly candidate in the 59th district because I know the area very well and I believed that I could actually have an impact on the race. Assembly races are more personable and they are elected to represent a smaller area, so the work was more focused on a central point. Also, working for a candidate in an Assembly race just makes more sense for college students, especially if the internship is unpaid because there is less driving to do in smaller districts.
The current alarming violent criminal acts and economic situation in Vance County has motivated me to run for Sheriff. I have teenage children who are beginning to move towards adulthood, and I want them to be proud of Vance County, to be excited to live here, and be able to earn a good living working here. But, I just don't want this for only my kids, I want every parent and their children also. So I am motivated to run for Sheriff, because I'm personally invested in the future of Vance County.
The employment interview has been the key element used for determining a candidates’ worthiness in filling an open position. Organizations rely on employment interviews as a way to predict the future job performance and work-related personality traits of interviewees. Over the years validity of the employment interview has been under scrutiny, so it is no wonder that is has been the topic of many research papers. The definition of the employment interview is “a personally interactive process of one or more people asking questions orally to another person and evaluating the answers for the purpose of determining the qualifications of that person in order to make employment decisions” (Levashina, Hartwell, Morgeson, and Campion 2013, p. 243).
For me, it was a profound experience to be coached by her, as I was learning not only the art of skating, but also many things that one can learn from a wise person. I treasure her advice very much.
“High school is tough.” That’s what I was always told. Although, freshmen year was easy for me, I went to East Brunswick VoTech. I woke up at eight and left school at three thirty. All of my friends went to our district high school so I didn’t get to see them much. They also got out of school an hour and a half before I did. The workload was not so bad and I felt a sense of purpose. Then sophomore year came and I decided to transfer to district. I figured I’d get to see all my friends again and there’d be a few differences from VoTech but nothing I couldn’t handle. Oh, how wrong I was. The workload was immediately double what I did in VoTech, maybe even triple. I tried to stay afloat in the sea of work but was easily overwhelmed by it all.
During orientation, Julie did an outstanding job about providing the history of a forensic nurse, discussing the benefits and downsides of becoming a forensic nurse, and what to expect while we are out with a nurse
My communications classmates and I were partnered up with one another in order to perform a mock interview. During a mock interview, an interviewee is asked a set of questions (previously unbeknownst to the interviewee) and the interviewee had to give good answers to the questions. On October 24, in Mr. Wolfe’s classroom during 7th hour, at the student desks located next to his radio,My partner and I, Gabi Kappes took turns interviewing one another. The primary purpose of the mock interview according to Mr. Wolfe (our teacher) was to prepare ourselves for interviews we will engage in sometime in the near future.Gabi interviewed me for a prestigious MFA program at the University of Wisconsin Madison (which only
She has a clear understanding of the information that needs to be dispersed to the trainees. She knows the facts and has done research on the skills that she is teaching. At the same time, she has displayed an inability to implement some of the very skills that she is teaching such as good communication and networking, which would indicate a lack of procedural knowledge. Heather’s inability to answer questions and be a resource to her class would also support this deficiency.
Have you ever thought of going to the police academy and serving your community? That’s exactly what my father Jerald Perkett did. Jerald sat down with me at the kitchen and was in his regular work clothes, a quicksilver shirt and jeans. He looked very serious and ready for the interview because he was very familiar with interviews. I looked at him and slowly let out the words, “are you ready?” and the first question came.
I then asked him, If he thought that he would get a graduate degree in the future and to explain why. He mentioned, that probably in a year or two he would likely go to law school. He then explained that Law School would allow him to gain more knowledge about the Criminal Justice system. Next, I asked him to explain his current position. He expressed that he is currently a court clerk for the Baltimore County Circuit Court. In addition, I asked how long has he been working as a court clerk? He informed me that he has been working as a court clerk for about a year. During the Interview, I questioned Mr. Schindler about his duties and responsibilities as a court clerk. He told me that as a clerk he sits in on court cases. In addition, he has the opportunity to help judges with court proceedings by documenting what may take place in a specific case. Next, I asked him what he liked most about his position. He happily explained that he enjoyed interacting with the judges the most. I then asked him to explain his dislikes of his current position. He replied by saying that he did not have any dislikes about his job. Also, I asked him about mission of his
