...INTERVIEW A PROFESSIONAL IN THE FIELD Matthew J. Rick Senior Seminar in Psychology American Military University 09/17/13 Abstract For my interview I came up with several questions pertaining to becoming a Military Psychologist and what the job entails. My goal was to find out what a Military Psychologist does and if it is better to be an active duty Psychologist or a civilian. Throughout the interview I got the impression from the Psychologist that I interview that she loved what she is doing. She mentioned that there isn’t anything else that she would want to do. Over the course of this interview I was able to get all my questions answered and felt that I received strait forward answers and not just what I wanted to hear. Being a military Psychologist entails a lot more than I thought it did however it is still a very intriguing career field. I have listed all the questions that were asked during this interview along with the answers that where given by the interviewee. Where can you apply for a military psychologist job? To become a Psychologist in the Military there are multiple ways to go about it first you can become a Psychologist in the Military by talking to a medical officer recruiter to find out the requirements and to get you started. If you are interested in becoming a civilian Psychologist with the military and already possess a license to practice in the state where the base is located you can apply for jobs on USA jobs website.

...available for questioning. The qualitative nature, small research area and research sampling implies that this research is neither fully complete, nor is it authoritative. Thus the research provides the reader with implications and possibilities as opposed to facts and truths. The researcher conducted a comparative analysis of the data retrieved from the semi-structured interviews. Very simple quantitative analysis and associated methods were applied. For example, if concrete data, numerical information is retrieved in meaningful amounts a quantitative analysis will be conducted. Conceivably, an interviewee may be aware of KM measures (cost savings, increased efficiencies) that impact the study that the researcher is currently unaware of. An example might be that X BDE from Y DIV saved a certain amount of money as a result of a KM initiative. A more appropriate measure might be tied to a training organization, such as a basic training unit, reporting increased transfer of training as a result of a KM initiative. Again, it is unlikely that quantitative data will be gleaned from the semi-structured interviews. An initial research assumption, which the researcher is now certain is factual, states that recorded, measurable, data associated with a repeatable KM initiative does not exist within Army tactical organizations. Second, as determined by Dr. Ward, quantitative analysis of KM processes in a much broader business and academic study is still elusive.1 Thus, attempting to force...

...men and women out of the military by starting an appeal that the courts have to vote on, and they voted to dismiss the appeal to continue allowing transgender men and women of the military to stay in and allow more to enlist. Although the courts dismissed the appeal, the process of joining the military is a lot more challenging than you expect. Besides filling out paperwork you have to go through a background check to make sure that you aren’t a previous felon. As well as doing the background check, you will be tested on your health to make sure you are healthy. How does the military doctors treat you as a transgender? They treat it as a gender dysphoria or a medical disorder that will be put into your file. The military has a medical document that is more than 80 pages long and it contains every disorder that doctors have found and gender dysphoria is one of them. Before you enlist, the medical examiner has to pass you as stable and that you went into the disorder 18 months before you enlisted. If you walked into the recruiting station before they dismissed the appeal, the recruiting station would have turned you away. Now you can join openly without any problems as long as your disorder of gender dysphoria is stable. While there were two rulings against the President, the military has been...

...Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for ensuring Title VII is enforced, victims of harassment must file a complaint with them first before proceeding with a legal actions against an employer. Military commanders don’t have jurisdiction over military spouses unless the transgression occurred on the military installation. The bank should refrain from contacting J.P. Jones’ commander because the only thing he/she can do is restrict the individual from having access to the installation. A commander’s authority over dependents and civilians is not as great as the “virtually absolute” authority over military members (Gittler, 2006). The Human Resource (HR) department has to show proof that policies and practices were in place to help prevent any form of harassment. Only if the employer can produce evidence of taking reasonable care to prohibit harassment does the employer have the possibility of avoiding liability through and affirmative defense (Jackson & Mathis, 2011). Reasonable care includes setting up a policy, providing training for such policy, and communicating the policy regularly. The letter of resignation from Mrs. Jones can further demonstrate based on content that the reason for her departure was due to her husband’s military orders to another state. It made no mention...

Please select one or more of the questions included in the "Notebook," and post specific reasons why the questions should be avoided while interviewing applicants for a job; Have you ever been arrested? You can ask whether the applicant has ever been convicted of a felony.) The Wisconsin law prohibits inquires about past arrest records but permits consideration of current arrest. If an applicant is currently under arrest for an offense that is substantially related to the job, an employer may either suspend judgment until on the case is resolved, advise the applicant to reapply when the charge is resolved, or refuse to employ the applicant.

... South Australia, Australia a r t i c l e i n f o s u m m a r y Objectives: To explore the impact organisational cultures have on the learning experience of student nurses and identify the influencing factors. Methods: A case study approach was used. The single case being a Defence School of Health Care Studies (DSHCS) and the multiple units of analysis: student nurses, the lecturers and Student Standing Orders. An in depth three dimensional picture was achieved using multiple data collection methods: interview, survey, observation and document analysis. Findings: The findings suggest that the DSHCS is perceived to be a sub-culture within a dominant civilian learning culture. Generally, the students and staff believed that the DSHCS is an excellent learning environment and that the defence students overall are high achievers. The common themes that appeared from the data were image, ethos, environment, discipline, support, welfare and a civilian versus military way of thinking. Conclusion: The learning experience of defence student nurses is very positive and enhanced by the positive learning culture of the civilian Higher Educational Institution. The factors influencing a positive learning experience that can be impacted by the overarching culture are discipline, image, ethos of adult learning, support and welfare. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

I would also like to thank Mr Kamwaro of The Standard Library and Eric Njoka of Daily Nation’s for the cooperation they accorded me during the long hours I spent at their libraries.

...Martinez del Rio 1 Curriculum Goals and Development Abstract The curriculum goal of this paper is to present the course designed to develop screenerinterviewers for the Army's Military Intelligence personnel tasked with interviewing civilian contractors interested in applying for positions of trust with the US Government. This powerpoint slide presentation is the product this author put together for the United States Army. It takes us through the major steps necessary to show how two things happen. First are the roles played by the main participants in this effort, i.e., the Army and several contractors bringing together civilians who wish to hire on as linguists to the military to work shoulder to shoulder with the forces deployed in the Middle East combat zones. These candidates would be native speakers of arabic, farsi, pashto, urdu and other languages needed in the area. Second, the new screeners are also in training to become experienced at interviewing these linguist candidates. The new screeners are mostly not used to interviewing anyone, so interrogators who are already skilled counter intelligence interviewers are selected to train the other military intelligence soldiers as to methods of obtaining personal information from the candidates who come to the interview with already filled out documentation as to their biographical background, which is of interest to the US government. Following will be 16 slides and a brief description in between each...

...Neocolonialism SOC/100 Neocolonialism The survey topic for this paper is neocolonialism. In the survey we gave a series of questions that referenced the candidate’s feelings on the United States and neocolonialism. I interviewed three people. My interviews where met with questions about the definition of this topic. Once the definition was given two of the candidates had definite opinions and the third declined for a lack of understanding on the topic. Question number one was, (Do you feel the United States of America is neocolonialist country?). In both interviews both candidates responded yes. Question number two asked how this directly affected them. Both people gave reference to the cost and hard ship it causes the country. Question number three asked how this indirectly affects us. One candidate responded that it produces a bad image of the U.S.A. The next respondant felt as though it gets us mixed up in needless wars with mixed agenda’s. Question three asked how we influence other countries with our political and economic sanctions. The first candidate answered that by policing the world we get overly involved in others policies and way of life and try to reform others way of life. Candidate two felt the sanctions whether heavy or light directly affects the country economically and socially in positive ways. He felt it creates trust among the other countries. In presenting my survey on Neocolonialism, I have found that there are some that didn’t really know...
