...The manufacturing company, I used to work for Auth-Florence, located in Manhattan, Kansas is a manufacturing company that makes the United States mailboxes for the postal service and for the residential places. Working for the company was a major change for me since it was my first civilian job. Transitioning into the civilian work force was my first step in ensuring that I prove myself and to the company that I am capable to lead. I was hired as a Machinist Operator for the fabrication department. My responsibilities were very limited since I was just a machinist operator. I would be assigned my task for the day and I would just make the parts on that specific machine. My goal with the company was to learn as much as I can and prove to them that I am a quick learner, have the ability to lead.

...1. Do you think Mindy dresses appropriately for a professional interview? No, I do not think Mindy is dress appropriately for a professional interview. Mindy look like she is dress to go work at a tattoo shop with the piercings, and tattoos she have. I believe that Mindy’s dress is inappropriate for the medical facility because her hair is colored different bright colors, she has facial piercings, her clothes do not cover her body and undergarments are showing, she has on too much make up, she is wearing dangling earrings and bracelet, her tattoos are not covered up and she has on open toed shoes. Most employers have a standard for dress codes. If she is not breaking any of the dress codes, then nothing can be done to make her dress more professionally. The numbers I choose that would best fit her for a professional interview is 1, 2, and 1. 2. Does personal "style" detract from the medical facility's air of professionalism? Mindy’s personal “style” does detract from the facilities air of professionalism. She looks like she should be working in a tanning salon or a tattoo parlor, not a professional medical clinic. 3. What are your thoughts on how and why it is important to project a professional image at the interview? In order to project a professional image, one should follow the dress code established by the business. You should be polite and helpful in any situation presented to you. You should use tact when talking to others and be respectful of others opinions....

...What makes a professional stand apart from others in his or her field? There are the usual qualifications of education and experience; however, true professionals don’t stop there especially when it comes to learning. The one thing we can be certain of is change and any informed professional will always be aware of what is trending and what changes are coming not only in the field of law but also with clients, technology, and events that could impact their practice. I was struck by the importance of soft skills development for legal professionals when reading a recent blog post which begins, “I had lunch with a lawyer recently and left wondering if the guy had been raised by wolves. His table manners were abysmal.”[1] The writer, also a lawyer,...

...government’s efforts to build a Knowledge Economy? I believe the occupation group of “Professionals” will drive the UAE Government’s effort to building a Knowledge Economy. The reason I believe Professionals are the ones driving this, is because I feel although knowledge and Training are provided by the Government on a continuous basis, there is a lack of professionalism in the individuals working for the UAE organizations. In addition, unfortunately whenever there is an existing project, outsourcing is always required especially when it comes to professional positions, therefore I feel the UAE’s focus must be on their nationals in order to promote this type of occupation group & avoid the dependence on expats. Although UAE is diversified due to the high levels of tourism, and would like their organizations to have the best quality professionals, they should not over-look their nationals who would most likely be willing to occupy higher level positions even in the Private sector. 2. Which major occupation group would you target to increase Emiratization and why? In my opinion, I would target the occupation group of Technicians and Associate Professionals due to the following reasons: * High number of outsourced candidates in the technical field. * Lack of UAE nationals who are considered skilled Technicians. * Constant need for the groups of Technicians and Associate professionals both in the Government and the Private sectors. UAE has reached a high level of technicality...

...life. Schultz, D. (2010). Ethics Regulation Across Professions. Public Integrity, 12(2), 161-172. doi:10.2753/PIN1099-9922120204 Gifting, a private act of friendship and charity among individuals that has deep cross-cultural roots, is increasingly seen as a morally problematic practice in many professions. Gifting done within the context of employment is now the subject of regulation in many professions as part of a broader effort to promote independence, impartiality, and objectivity. Based upon a survey of more than twenty professional associations and fields of employment, this commentary examines the historical roots of gifting, why it poses an ethical problem, and how many organizations across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors are adopting policies to address this practice. Overall, three conclusions are reached. First, because gifting creates a sense of dependency, reciprocity, or indebtedness, its practice within a professional setting causes potential or real conflicts of interest, regardless of the size or type of the gift. Second, because of the problems that gifting poses, many professions have already recognized the need to address the practice. Finally, the field and practice of public administration needs to address...
