...Career Research Paper I have designed this assignment as a step by step guide to walk my students through the research process. Of course, you may adjust it as you feel is necessary according to the level of students you are working with. This project explains in detail everything they need to research, as well as, giving them real world insight into what to expect in a career in terms of education, job duties and responsibilities and income. I begin by having them take a reality check quiz on the Jump Start Coalition website. This little quiz helps them determine how much money they will need to earn in order to live the lifestyle they would like to have. This income amount in turn helps open their eyes to the type of job necessary to achieve that income and what amount of education is involved. It was a real wake up call for many of my students. In this package I have also included a grading rubric for the project and a list of possible career choices for their assignment. Student Instructions You will be writing a research paper on a career chosen from the attached list. Think carefully about which career you chose to research. Read through these directions and the requirements for this assignment BEFORE making your choice. Materials needed for this project - ---note cards (preferably 3x5 lined) ---folder with pockets to keep all research materials in ---access to internet and reference books A.

...receive care for heart attacks, strokes, and other types of cardiovascular diseases. NHMS was quickly able to recruit a quality physician to head the unit as well as additional professional staff, however finding qualified technicians have become much more difficult than originally anticipated. The problem does not seem to be so much in terms of the position being attractive to candidates, but rather a lack of skilled technicians in the immediate region. Most of the skilled technicians are already employed, and are not actively seeking jobs with other organizations. In order to fill the 35 technician positions, the director of staffing has created a new staffing strategy that includes the following: 1. Place advertisement in the local newspapers 2. Contact staffing agencies that specializes in placing technicians into health care facilities 3. Organize a job fair and invite local professionals to attend 4. Offer a $1,000 signing bonus to anyone who joins the organization and stays for at least 180 days Although these four staffing strategies have the potential to increase the pool of candidates, I do not believe this strategy is strong enough nor will it be sufficient in aligning with the strategic goals of NHMS in filling 35 technician positions. The current...

...Factors to consider when choosing an appliance repair technician There are several things that make lives easier. Gadgets are some of these things. They help in completing work within a short period of time and also ensure that the work is done effectively. Sometimes these gadgets or electronics many fail to work as expected. They might fail to work due to different factors. One of the factors is poor maintenance. They need to be regularly checked by an expert for any faults. Using them when they are not functioning accordingly can lead to greater problems to the user and also to the machine. Some machines which have loose connections can lead to electrocutions. This is very dangerous as it can lead to death. Apart from that, faulty machines consume a lot of energy and the output is very low. This brings the power bills up and also if the apparatus are not fixed on time they can break down completely. Only the qualified technicians are allowed to handle the problems. There is a lot that one has to be exposed about the machines before one can fully be able to fix any problem. It is not easy to get one who is qualified. Most of them who are qualified have tight schedules and thus becomes impossible to schedule an appointment with them. Others are very expensive and it becomes difficult to hire them. However, there are other ways that one can use to get to the right and affordable persons. One of the ways is through research. Research on the papers or the internet can leave...

...Date: Feb. 20, 2014 To: Ken Weston From: Islam Nassar Subject: Computer technician's issues. I would like to inform you that I am facing a major issue in our company. In the past month, three computer technicians suffered from similar complaints such as, sharp pains in the wrist, increasing numbness, and decreased range of motion. I have never had these complaints in this short time and the severity of symptoms seems to be increasing. I consulted experts from the sport and orthopedic medicine clinic about this major issue. They described these symptoms as repetitive strain injuries that might require surgeries if the cause of these symptoms is not corrected. Also, the physical therapist believes that exercise and wrist splints may help relieve symptoms and she recommended the consultation of an ergonomic analyst who recommended that, after his visit and observation of the company's work environment and equipment, the old keyboards should be replaced with ergonomic ones and every mouse should be replaced with a trackball. I investigated this situation from perspective of cost-benefit analysis. the ergonomic keyboards are designed to split the traditional rows of keys in half and to place the rows of keys at different angles, allowing the wrists to stay straight and relieving pressure on the forearm. Also trackballs do not require the repetitive clicking motion of the forefinger. Although following the recommendations of experts are costly, I think that they will avoid...

...inconvenienced every day due to the late and missed appointments. In the scheduling process of the appointments the company tries to make each customer happy by giving them the date they are requesting. With this being the case the days ends up getting overbooked. The company allows an overbooking percentage of up to 103-105% for the load. While the company is giving the customer the date they want, essentially they are pushing other customers out of the load. There are managers assigned to each state and those states are broken down into different regions i.e. north, south, east, west. It is the duty of the load manager to make sure that each job gets assigned to a technician so that every customer is serviced in a timely manner. The company expects that there will be unforeseen events that may cause the technicians to run behind i.e. traffic, car issues, and wrong addresses on the account. The company provides a 4 hour appointment window, for example, 8am-12pm. The company does notify the...

...Student Or A Computer Technician? Being a computer technician is fun, but it also have its own side effects. A computer technician is dealing with tons of problem at the same time in his head, which can make him go crazy, but it could also make him rich. A student also undergoes a series of tension throughout his academic career, which can also make him crazy, but wouldn't give him a dime. Thus, students and computer technicians have some similarities and differences between them. In order to avoid the tension, they both needs to be time managing, hardworking and also generate a sense of responsibility within them. Time management is a required skill for both students and computer technicians. As of students, they need to sign up for classes on time, submit assignments on the due date, and also attend the classes on time. A student also needs to have a balance between his job and school agenda. In order to be a computer technician, one needs to be time managing because they go to different locations on the same day, and they don't want to arrive late for their work. If by chance, the technician gets late in one place, then the rest of his assignments will be late too. A computer technician shouldn't be late because there could be a lot of lives who are depending on his job for living, whereas a student mustn't be late because it might ruin his own life by not giving importance to the skill of time management. Both students and computer technician should be hard working...

...PSY 220 Check Point: Goal Selection 10/11/2012 As read in chapter 7, the matching hypothesis suggests a simple answer to the question of which goals do not or do add enhancement to a person’s well-being. Goals that fit a person’s values, needs and sense of self are likely to be the ones that increase a person’s well-being. Goals that are mismatched to with the person are known to lead to no change, or also known to even diminish well-being. (Steve R. Baumgardner, 2009) I have made many goals in my life starting throughout high school and did manage to follow through with a few that benefitted my well-being and also did not. A poorly-matched goal that I once made was to immediately push myself to go out and get a part-time job in or near my area. The reason was because my family would say rude comments about me not having a job and not being able to support myself. I desperately applied to tons of places and landed a job as a sales associate. On the third day working there I knew that I had made a mistake but I only took the job to prove to others that I am not “lazy” and also because it was the only job that offered me an interview. The negatives were that this job was forty-five minutes away from my home. I started with no money and no gas so I was having to ask my parents for money to start. I was only working three and a half hours a day making eight dollars an hour. Driving to and from work would cost me fifteen to twenty dollars a day of gas which meant that I was spending...

However, they are also incorporated with the loom technicians who directly lead them as a team. * Besides that, these girls had close relative with other loom technicians so they don’t want to work under other person.

...Dear Manager Two weeks ago I purchased a 50inches Sharpe LCD Television. The TV was delivered two days later and your technician setup the system for me. Upon assembly we realized that the remote did not have any batteries. Though I was concern that I was not able to check if the remote was active the technicians were able to able to assure me that all it needed was the batteries and everything would be O.K. Two days later I purchased a set of AA batteries and tested the remote, to my dismay the remote did not work. Upon close examination I realized that the remote was branded Harpe and not Sharpe. I visited the store a week later to return to return the remote. The CRS asked me why I didn't the case earlier, I explained to her I was unable to visit any sooner but I called several times and got a busy tone each time. Without any further question she told me to have a seat. After waiting for approximately two hours she returned and told me that it will take at least five working days for them to complete the investigation as to how I received the incorrect remote. She advised me that someone will call to update me on the progress. It has been seven days and I still have not received a call. Dissatisfied Pat. Respond to customer addressing the following 1.
