1) What 's the most important thing for you to get from your career? This is a question I have been asking myself quite a bit lately as I approach postgrad life. I believe the most important aspect of a career for myself is meaningfulness and being able to further my knowledge. I find I work best when I can see a tangible outcome. If I am working on a project, it really helps to know that the work I am doing will affect someone or something in a positive way. Apart from meaningfulness, I think being able to learn is another very important aspect to consider when choosing a career. I would want a career where I can get out as much as I put in. Learning from co-workers, from making mistakes, from those more experienced and anyway I …show more content…
30,000/520= $57/hour. Working an extra 2 hours a day for $57/hour is definitely a deal I would happily accept. 4) What do you think is going to be your biggest challenge working in recruitment? I think there will be several big challenges for someone working in recruitment. The biggest one I can imagine would be facing rejection for a client. I believe that to be an elite recruiter, it is imperative to make personal connections with your clients to ensure that you are doing is in the client’s best interest. I can see myself getting personally invested in each of my clients, so giving them bad news would definitely be in the upper tier of challenges working in recruitment for myself. I believe that handling rejection will be something I learn as I progress in recruitment. On the flip side of this, being able to give a client good news is very rewarding in my mind and will be a motivational force in becoming a better recruiter.
5) What 's your greatest personal or professional achievement to date? A couple summers ago, I went to India for break. Staying in Mumbai, the plan was to visit friends and family and have a couple of relaxing weeks. While on the way from the airport to the place I was planning to stay, I saw the extremes of income inequality as there were impoverished people living on the street right next to five star hotels and luxurious apartment buildings. That stayed in the back of my mind
Katherine Boo’s book, Behind The Beautiful Forevers, portrays the “new life” the people in India live as capitalism and globalism ventures into their lives. These two systems look to promise new and improved social opportunities for all classes, not just the wealthy. However, although this makes it seem like the government of India in the 21st century is progressing towards a more fairer society for all its citizens, the reality is, they are really not progressing at all. Of course, while capitalism and globalization initially gave all citizens, especially the lower classes, hope that more opportunities would be available to them, it seems it has prevaricated it all as these opportunities have been more transformative to the elite and privileged classes than it has for the poor.
In India, if you are not born into privilege, you are struggling somehow. The Gatsby-like guy that he encounters produces big budget movies that no one hardly watches. He also runs a school that is not recognized by the government. He promises future students many things including a trip to Europe and a new laptop for everyone. Rahul tells Deb that in Arindam Chardhuri’s school, the students pay seven lakhs (hundred thousand), and that the operating cost of schools are low. He goes on to say “…you know how much teachers get paid in India. So, the money gets spun off into other businesses (p. 31).” This shows just how much big-business privileged people take advantage of the other working citizens of India. Teachers, who should be the heart of countries are paid such a little wage. Even though they have to have certain qualifications to be able to teach. Its far worse than America, even though it can be seen that the 1% hold
Poverty and oppression is a serious condition that is prevalent even in today’s modern society. Women and children are exposed to poverty and subjected to a life of injustice. One of the countries where such problems still occur is in India. Despite the country’s modernization, there lies an undercity where the disparity of wealth is transparent. These social problems are thoroughly described in movies and literature such as Slumdog Millionaire and Behind the Beautiful Forevers. In the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Catherine Boo, the author describes slum life for a set of individuals and the hardship that their social conditions confined them to. Another movie that gave insight to slum life in India is Slumdog Millionaire
While everybody nowadays receives a good education, not all are taught to the highest standard. The education system, for a long time, has remained unadapted to modern life; this principle remains true. As part of the national wakeup call on America’s scrambled and varying education standards across the nation, Davis Guggenheim’s Waiting for Superman raises thoughtful consideration to the subject of educating youth. Throughout the film, Guggenheim utilizes the stories of children in poorer areas to appeal to the audience’s emotional side, or pathos. Effectively showcasing the lives of lower-income families and the disadvantages faced- like not getting into a school that efficiently teaches children and permits them to consequently receive an even higher education, potentially breaking the cycle of poverty- Guggenheim offers evidence based on the success rates of charter schools. Displaying the most successful charter schools, and the most prosperous students out of those, puts charter schools into the
India is a country in central Asia with a population of over 1.22 billion people making it the second most populous country in the world. Its high population is one of the factors that results in India having such a high poverty rate. In India today over 37% of the population live below the poverty line. The reality of such a statistic means that these people live in conditions unimaginable to people of the western world. In the film Slumdog Millionaire by director Danny Boyle deeper ideas associated with this poverty are developed including destiny, loyalty and how poverty frees us. These deeper ideas are developed through visual techniques
2. Why do you want to work in recruitment, and more specifically, why do you
Social Work is a profession concerned with helping individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being. I chose to seek a degree in this field because I find this to be a very rewarding career choice. To obtain a degree in a career that essentially makes a difference in people’s lives is extremely important to me. I have worked as a medical assistant for over 10 years, and although I love my job I would like to work closer with the people that I serve. I realize from working with people with intellectual disabilities that my passion lies with helping and assisting individuals. It takes a special person to work in social services because this is a field where advocating and assisting are a forte. I would like to obtain my Bachelors of Art in Social Work and work with children. After, I have worked in the field for at least a year I would like to continue postgraduate studies in lure of earning my master’s in social work. My ultimate goal is to obtain both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work and specialize in case management assisting both children and veterans.
According to “For richer, For poorer”, the World Economic Forum, meeting of political and business leaders, chose income inequality as a current threatening problem of the globe. Income inequality is gaps between income earners (Fisher, 2011). For decades, it has been worsened and damaged society. Income inequality, gaps between high income earners and low income earners, causes social dissatisfaction, wealth polarization, and reduction of social mobility.
I cant believe it’s the end of this semester. One last chance to get this grade up. I cant believe one grade could possibly hold me back from all my dreams. Since I was little all I wanted to be was football player. Are star quarterback is graduating this year, and now it’s my time to shine. Everything I worked for hanging in the shadow of this final test.
While I was in college, I felt like working with children was something that I wanted to do. There are many different career paths one could take if they want to work with children. I love sports, so I decided that recreation would be a path that would allow me to work with children doing something that I love to do. For the past twelve years, I have had the opportunity to work with the residents of Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch. I work in the Youth Activities Department and my job is to provide sports programming for our pre-adolescent population. However, I am in more of an administrative role where I oversee the program the children participate in. The time I actually have working with them one-on-one or in small groups is limited. I have
It’s hard to say I don’t know what I want to do when I finish college. I’m suppose to have this idea of what I want to do for the rest of my life and be devoted to that career for the rest of my life. “So, what have you decided to study?” is a question I have heard from parents, teachers, grandparents, uncles, aunts, friends, co-workers, and just about everyone else that says they know me. I don’t know how I am supposed to just know what I will do for the rest of my life. Choosing ones career should be a decision based over a long period of time, and after being exposed to many different experiences. And in order to acquire the best career for yourself you must make the decision, only you know what is best for you.
As a senior in high school I am very eager to graduate and pursue a career. I have multiple options that I'm still deciding on but know for sure that the medical field is where I belong. I am already planning on getting my CNA license during the summer of 2018 to prepare me for the nursing program. I have three potential career paths that I would like to pursue but choosing which one to take will be the hard part. The first career path is getting a BSN at IUPUI then going on to earn a Master of Science in Nursing or earn a Doctor of Nursing Practice. Being a nurse practitioner would allow me to work alongside a doctor or open my own practice.
Today people across the world are engaged in the pronounced discussion about inequality that undoubtable continue to create divisions among the human race. Notably, as time passes by, the economic gaps continue to widen, characterized by those that are continuously becoming prosperous and powerful, while others are held by a stagnated income and the ever raising economic pressure, whereas another lot is left behind in as they languish in the ever growing poverty, dependency, and hopelessness. This has seen an increased in concern among various stakeholders, including academicians, strategyfabricators, and legislators that poverty and disparity is no longer to belook at as an easy social issue that are safely to be subordinated to essentialsecurities in exploiting economic outputs.
Your answer might have nothing to do with a hard-won A or a trophy - it might be the time you stuck up for someone who needed your help. What you 're proud of can help you see what matters most to you.
Inequality, in this world, is a gigantic problem. And, I was one of the people who got categorized by it. In my neighborhood, my house was the smallest house. Every day, my mom and I would be sleeping on the dirt, while all the others are sleeping on their bed; we would listen to the cricket, while all the other would listen to music; we pick up a garbage for money, while the rest works in the office. Why? We are poorer than the others. Poor and rich are two very distinctive words, as distinctive as the people who gets categorized by them. From the history until now, many advocates for equality. Yet, there isn't a "real" equality. Today, inequality is a very big gap between people. It separates two groups of people: the extremely poor ones and the extremely wealthy ones. The wealthier ones get wealthier, and the poorer ones get even poorer. Many people have asked for the cause, as much as many people who have sought for solutions. Yet, neither of those questions have been answered. Well, in my opinion, economy, societies, and people themselves... all plays some roles in causing an inequality between the poor and the wealthy people in our society to rise rigidly.
