Job As An Intern For The Arlington County Board

I have never had a formal job where I went to work everyday and got paid for it; my closest experience has been community service and an unpaid internship. My first community service experience where I didn't go with a school, but was something I signed up for myself was at my mother’s job. At the time she worked for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) where she helped with cases of wrongful termination due to discrimination in the workplace. My job for the day was to help put case files into envelops so they could be served to the company being sued for discrimination. The task seemed easy but once my mom’s boss began to explain it to me there was more to it than I thought. Yes it was just putting papers into an envelop but

In this type of system, the County Commission stands as the executive leader of the county. The Commission is made up of three commissioners that are elected every six years. One member is elected, by the body, as President of the Commission during the first meeting of the year in January. The current commissioners are Agnes Queen, Patrick Boyle, and Thomas Fealy, with each representing a different magisterial district of the county (lewiscountywv.org). Their powers and duties consist of but are not limited to having jurisdiction in all matters of probate, custody of all deeds and any other paper presented for record in the county, and having the superintendence and administration of the internal police and fiscal affairs of the county

The Board is composed of eleven members, each of who is appointed by the governor with the consent of the senate. Members are appointed to a term of four years with the exception of the Superintendent of Public

The official title for a board member is Trustee. In order for a resolution to be passed, two trustees must call for a motion to vote. A simple majority is required for the adoption of a resolution. All resolutions must formally originate from a Trustee or the Mayor, but they may be suggested by members of the public or department leaders. The Board itself consists of four members and the Mayor. The Village Board is a popularly elected entity that is meant to represent the interests of village residents. The Mayor is effectively the President of the Board, as well as a voting member. It does not appear as if the Mayor has veto power over resolutions. In essence the Mayor is essentially a first among equals in the Board. This represents the concept of executive primus-inter- pares which is present in many communities throughout the United States and parliamentary governments abroad. Furthermore, the leaders of key departments such as the Clerk, the Police Chief, and the Treasurer were also present at the meeting. These department heads with have speaking privileges, but not voting power. These individuals can be compared to cabinet officials at the state and federal levels of government. This is the basic structural layout of board meetings in the Village of

1. The first few weeks of internship, at Ramona Adult Day Health Care Center (ADHC) located in Baldwin Park, Mr. Talib Abdullah, the social work field instructor, provided information about the center, such as their mission and the services ADHC offered to their participants. He also mentioned what was expected from the intern student. The first activity involved was to identify what kind of population the center served. It was rapidly identified that ADHC served participants from middle adulthood (approximately 40 to 65 years) to late adulthood (65 years and beyond). The majority of the participants served were Filipino. It was also detected that the second major groups were Hispanics and Latinos. Caucasian and Black participants were present, however, they were only a few. It was later required to be introduced as the new social worker intern and socialize with the participants. Feeling of anxiety arose when introducing personal. Communication was essential in assisting and getting to know the participants, however, there were a few language barriers with the Filipino group. Their primary language was Tagalog with limited English.

As a freshman in high school I got interested to get involved in the city as a youth commissioner. Being a youth commissioner gives you the chance to get some hours and help out with special occasions in the city. I put in a total of six hundred hours for three years. When I was finally old enough, I got hired for my first job in the city as a camp recreation leader for a summer camp. Now I only work at a fast food Mexican

Currently, according to the organization’s Executive Director, Joe Fortmann, the organization has over one-hundred and fifty volunteers and has over forty staff members, both full and part time. There are twelve board members that the Executive Director must report to. In speaking with the Executive Director, the organizational structure of the Boone County Council on Aging is primarily an “organic” structure. The “communication is horizontal” and “knowledge and control of tasks can be located anywhere in the organization.” (Tschirhart & Bielefeld, 2012, p. 68). The “formal” structure of the organization are a team of 6 managers who ultimately report and receive instruction from the Executive Director, and they also direct teams of their

I did my internship at the Sprouts Farmers Market’s kitchen. My responsibilities were to make cut veggies for the salads, sandwiches/panini, cut fruits and veggies for the lunch boxes, make tune salad, help customers with what they need like making them sandwiches and slice meat and cheese for them, and cleaning. Sprouts was not my first chose, but I wanted to work there because I wanted to get to know the people that worked there and I wanted to know how they make their meals.

While being a Mayor's Intern Fellow, I would love to enhance my current qualities, such as patience, organization, and kindness. I love to work with children, observe teeth, and spread God’s word. My career goals are to become a pediatric dentist and a youth pastor. In order to be that, I have to know how to improve my current attributes. This past summer, I worked for a non-profit, Youthful Blessings, to provide less fortunate children with food. This job helped me to improve my patience with children. Every day I worked with children that had behavior concerns, emotional concerns, and physical concerns. This helped me learn to have patience for those who sometimes behave unseemly. This last school semester I was appointed by outgoing seniors

During my internship experience I was able to learn how the Sheriff Department division has their own methods on how they perform their services such as their job duties, policies, and operations and how they differ from other agencies. The police is charge of the city limits and the sheriff is in control of the county roads which are outside the city limits but there jurisdiction only covers public county roads not private roads for example, during my ride along there was a complaint that was complaining about four wheelers making a lot of noise down the road due to the road being private the deputy advise her that the road has to be own by the county and he couldn’t do anything. During my ride along I was able to make observations on how

In grade eleven I signed up for a cooperative education experience at my high school school, Glebe Collegiate Institute. The program allows for career exploration with supervised work experiences in the community. For my cooperative education experience I decided to work at the fitness facility in the

I am an Administrative Intern from Texas State University, for Scott Soefje in the Pharmacy department. We thought it would be best for a full learning experience that I help in different areas throughout UMCB. If you have the time or any projects available feel free to contact me. I would love to have an inside look in Human

It has been a while since I started at the internship and I am really glad I decided to work here. I think the experience in this area is a good preview of my career and future. I am learning some important skills and finding out some things about myself and the tough skin I will need in order to stay in the area of juvenile support.

Throughout the semester, I worked at Central Community School District 301 in the information technology department and worked on many different projects. This experience was very impactful because it taught things that classes have a hard time doing or and not able to teach at all. Working in an enterprise environment took all the information that I have gained from computer science classes and focused them into one point. Which is, to be able to work on a team and to be able to create and understand enterprise level software.
