Job Opportunities for Health Care Managers in 2020
The health care industry is in the United States is on the poise of burgeoning more than it ever has before. There are several factors that directly contribute to this situation that span diverse areas of economics, demographics, technology and behavior and personal lifestyle choices. Virtually all of these facets of contemporary health care result in the fact that people are living longer now than they ever have before. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (2010), "As the large baby-boom population ages and people remain active later in life, the health care industry as a whole will see an increase in the demand for medical services." Much of that demand will be in gerontology, as the previous allusion to the baby-boomer generation indicates. There are several advances in technology that are also contributing to people maintaining their health longer than…

Like anything else, prison involves a very specific routine to which people adapt. In some cases, prison life becomes more "normal" for some prisoners than life on the "outside," as prisoners call freedom.
To ensure that prisoners have the best chance of succeeding in their reintroduction to society, we sometimes use community corrections programs such as halfway houses where prisoners about to be released from custody are generally free to come and go during certain hours to work but must return at night. Community corrections offers several types of positions for criminal justice professionals including counselors who function in very similar capacities as probation and parole officers, and social workers who help evaluate prisoners and design appropriate training and counseling to best help them successfully re-enter society and avoid repeating any of the mistakes that contributed to their criminal conduct previously.
Conclusion:
In many respects, probation and parole officers, counselors,…

One of the most valued yet ignored experiences that patients look for within the healthcare facilities is the individualized services, yet this remains a challenge (Katie Johnson, 2014). Benchmarking from corporations that have achieved high scores in the individualized services has proven to be the best approach in minimizing the chances of losing repeat clients. Many clients who walk into healthcare facilities expecting not only t have their disease correctly diagnosed and medication prescribed, but also to obtain the empathy of the nurses. his empathy is experienced through the personalized attention that the client gets within the hospital and even more importantly the follow up thereafter once they are at home taking the…
The British army at that time had the weakness of not being well trained and the number of regiments was reduced by the parliament since the French and Indian war. There was also a problem in recruitment into the American regiments and the training was also not efficient hence the efficiency was wanting. During peace times the trainings were hardly ever done and field days were also never conducted or limited if any were conducted. There was also a problem of a systematic supply mode for the army, poor Calvary and few artillery, these are the major weaknesses that led the British to be defeated apart from the fact that the French supported the American side (British Battles, 2014). Some of the strengths they had were the large number of troops all across the battle fronts, significantly good naval force and they also had specialized troops.
On the other hand, the American had some strengths that made them have an upper hand in the war. They had an outstanding team of leadership in the war, they pinned the colonialists to fight defensively, their supplies were good due to the agricultural base and they also had the moral support from the Americans. Some of the weaknesses were that the colonies were a bit disorganized during war, the continental congress gave little support, they faced economic difficulties, limited military supplies and the despite the large numbers, the soldiers were unreliable (U.S. Department of State, 2014).
The French were central in the victory that
As an aspiring psychologist, I know that my future clients will be tackling a variety of psychological challenges. Some of these may have physical roots, given that many mental health complaints have at least some genetic component. Also, psychological difficulties can create physical problems. Anxiety can cause symptoms like a pounding heart. Eating disorders can cause a host of malnutrition-related concerns, and substance abuse can do so likewise. Mental disorders can interfere with normal, daily cognitive functioning, including the ability to make good decisions, and also impede the individual’s ability to have normal social relationships at work and school. Unfortunately, the fact that mental disorders can interfere with the ability to secure a proper social support network or even to work at all, means that the people who need help the most may be the least able to access it. As a psychologist, an understanding of the complexities of such…

An entry-level job in a customer service call center
It is important for any organization that is set up especially with the aim of offering services to the people to have a care center for the customer. This central point serves as the point of contact between the clients and the service provider (Freese, 2010). The company or organization needs to have a customer care center since; communication is a vital process and tool for business. Questions and issues that need clarification are always bound to arise within the process of doing business. This significant department is thus very useful in delivering this important service to customers.

The American Jobs Act
This paper advocates passage of the American Jobs Act of 2011. Two years after the Great Recession of 2007-2009 ended, unemployment continues at near record highs. As of September 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate held at 9.1%, with the number of unemployed persons at 14.0 million. The unemployment rates for adult men (8.8%), adult women (8.1%), teenagers (24.6%), whites (8.0%), blacks (16.0%), and Hispanics (11.3%) were essentially unchanged for September. The number of long-term unemployed, those who were jobless for 27 weeks or longer, was 6.2 million individuals, accounting for 44.4% of the unemployed. The number of individuals employed part-time for economic reasons, also referred to as involuntary part-time workers, rose to 9.3 million in September. These persons worked part-time because their hours had been cut back, or because…

Congress allocates approximately $220 million annually for TAA training (Labor, 2006). Each year, the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration allocates 75% of available TAA funds, or $165 million (Labor, 2006). The remaining 25% of funds are reserved for states experiencing large, unexpected layoffs during the year. States may request additional money from the reserve account after they have spent at least 50% of the allocated TAA funds (Labor, 2006). "
As this allotment and others like it illustrate the job programs in place are designed to help those who have educations or trade backgrounds and experience.
They provide additional benefits and perks to those in that position but for those who are unskilled and have been laid off of minimum wage positions the job programs do very little to assist them.

When most people think of Anheuser-Busch, they will often associate it with a large multinational company that produces Budweiser. While this is true, the firm has operations in 23 countries and employs 116 thousand people worldwide. This means that they must utilize different strategies for attracting and retaining key personnel. To fully understand how this takes place there will be a focus on: recruitment strategies, the way the organization classifies job opportunities, factors for determining the right mix of local / international employees, the benefits and expatriate programs. Together, these different elements will provide the greatest insights as to how the firm is able to locate and hold onto critical talent. ("Anheuser-Busch," 2012)

Companies are even practical these days to consider hiring individuals who doesn't have an educational degree on a field of job but have the expertise to do the job. QuickBooks help in addressing businesses' and industries' current problem of lack of IT professionals because it is now possible to have experts in a particular IT field with the help of QuickBooks.
In the job of installing a computer network, QuickBooks have changed the old business process of hiring computer network consultants to do the job. Instead, the internal employees of a company can already install a computer network just by using QuickBooks as references on how to do the job. In terms of effectiveness and efficiency, on the other hand, the result of installing a computer network by a non-professional is usually equivalent to the end-result done by a professional.

As InterClean and EnviroTech completed their merger, the operational complexities of the resulting companies significantly increased. At the primary level, one could observe the fact that the organization would no longer simply offer cleaning products, but also cleaning services to the local health care institutions. As a specification, these institutions require the highest possible quality cleaning products and services. Nevertheless, the ability to kill as many germs as possible does no longer represent the main competitive advantage.
The modern day society is extremely dynamic and continually challenges the economic agents to rise up to amounting expectations. While a high quality of the manufactured products and delivered services is imperative, it is no longer sufficient…

93). This approach allows members of the team to act autonomously; that is, once the supervisor is selected each member of the team has their own target to hit, and their own method or tools for realizing their target or goal. When they achieve this goal, they are rewarded through recognition of their efforts and greater autonomy or a promotion. This in turn may lead to increases in status or pay within the organization, which improve motivation and fulfills any financial goals a team member may have.
Goal setting theory needs to be strengthened as it promotes knowledge sharing in the organization. eeve (2001) notes in his goal setting theory (p. 199) that setting goals is critical to the success and productivity of an individual and team members.

Job Application
Why are you applying for a role in your chosen area? (Demonstrate your suitability for the position(s) sought.)
In September of 2002, I graduated with honors with a degree in Civil Electronic Engineering from the Free University of Brussels (V.U.B). Although I enjoyed studying this discipline and pursuing my degree, I have come to realize that my naturally extroverted personality is far more suited and more fulfilled in the fast-paced world of business and finance. This is why I have decided to apply for an entry-level position for the Financial Management Program (FMP) at General Electric.
I do not only seek an education for myself in my new, chosen field. I also believe that my background has given me, as a person, a good deal that I can offer to GE as a company. A civil electronic engineer, such as myself, is often confronted with highly complex mathematical…
Consider our team's work last year with a major mining client. This company faced a difficult tax situation with regards to an operation in PNG and we were called upon to solve the problem to avoid trouble with the regulators.
Our star accountants set about this task, but the job of coordinating the effort was mine. I needed to organize the paperwork, to track the progress of the different team members and to ensure proper filing of the necessary documents with regulators. Under my direction and leadership, our partners were able to bring the problem to a smooth resolution, saving the client tens of thousands of dollars in the process.
I like to feel that my coordinating efforts and expert information management helped to make this success possible. I had a specific role on the team and I fulfilled it to the highest level. This allowed the other team members…

s noted on the JP Morgan's own website, the evolution of the credit derivatives market has shifted the entire technology agenda into the banking environment because of the creation of electronic markets. full understanding of how recent changes in technology can be related to international economics and development is thus critical to success in the field of consulting.

At university, I honed and developed my analytical skills, the apex of which was my thesis on the simulation of an ADSL-modem. My work has taught me how to tackle unstructured problems, rather than simply to apply outmoded concepts to new ideas. I am extremely comfortable with several program languages, including Visual basic, C++, Java and Matlab-Simulink. But beyond comfort, I know how to think creatively in the language of technology, much as I know how to communicate in a variety of languages.

Even during my 'leisure' time I found myself fusing my interests in technology and business, when I created with some friends of mine an investment club in February of 2000.

Teamwork requires good communications skills and the development of respect. Most people do not have such amazing opportunities to develop character; we in the Navy do.
The Navy has enriched my friendships, which is one of the reasons why I love my job. I knew that I would meet new people in the Navy, but had no idea how many of them would become life-long friends. The Navy puts us in close quarters with people from all walks of life and from around the country. Our work and living situations demand that we learn how to resolve conflicts quickly and develop compassion for people that are different from ourselves. We have different political views, different ethnic backgrounds, and different personalities. Instead of focusing on our differences, we pay attention to our common goals. My friendships have been enriched through the service we do as naval officers.

On the other hand, the strategic implementation occurs once the project is actually started. The challenges that a manager faces at this point are numerous, mainly due to the fact that while the strategic planning was a theoretical, probabilistic evaluation on things that had not occurred, the implementation phase will bring about real challenges, to which the manager must find solutions. The leader needs to be able to react to real-time event, many of which may be unexpected and not identified in the strategic planning phase.
Project management principles are important because they provide a theoretical background for implementing and planning a project, which could be helpful in terms of determining the success of a project. They will not provide a recipe for success, but will be a good starting point in the lifetime of a project.

Gazing at the Seoul skyline for the first time after graduating from the University of Massachusetts, I felt the pulse of metropolitan life and the whispers of change taking place in my life and in the life of the city. It is because of this pulse that I am applying for a job with HSBC, one of the world's most reputable companies. I had lived in Boston for the past several years and soaked up all the experiences I could while I was there. When I returned to Korea I realized that the world had become so linked because of globalization that companies like HSBC made inroads in nations far beyond their own borders. I also appreciate the world of commerce and banking, which I believe are at the root of how whole societies change and grow.

Job analysis is the process of gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing information about jobs (Busi, 2012). It is a critical part of human resources management. It functions to provide answers to questions such as: How much time does it take to complete important tasks?, Which tasks comprise a particular job?, How can a job be structured to enhance employee performance?, and What capabilities and behaviors are needed to perform the job?. A job description is often considered the most important result of job analysis. It lists the duties associated with a role, representing a written summary of the job as an identifiable organizational unit.
The importance of job analysis goes beyond a mere review of a specific role. It actually informs every other aspect of work in human resources (Busi, 2012). For example, recruitment requires an adequate job description to advertise the duties of a position. Similarly, selection and training rely…

Job summary:
Sales representatives play an important role in most organizations. We visited Circuit, the largest computer dealers in our area and spoke to some of the sales representatives there.

Sales Representatives at Circuit are responsible for attracting new business without losing the sight of company policies.

Obviously, the concept of opportunity cost is very useful for making decisions (Mankiw, 2008) because at the end of the fiscal year, the person who chose to vacation for five days in Costa ica would have $1,700 less in his or her bank account that the person who chose to stay home and work instead of going to Costa ica. Without considering opportunity costs, a person could make the mistake of considering only the actual cost of the Costa ico trip and never realize that the decision would actually cost an additional $1,000 compared to the alternative choice being considered.

Job Creation and Government
JOB CEATION SHOULD NOT BE GOVENMENT'S ESPONSIBILITY
Government in all capitalist nations is actually responsible for efficient allocation and diversion of resources and not for creation of employment opportunities for the people. Capitalist countries thrive on the principle of entrepreneurship and in such countries corporations literally control all economic activity. For this reason, it is impractical to expect the government to intervene when employment opportunities are scarce. Instead government's intervention must be limited to efficient allocation of economic resources and regulation of financial markets through fiscal measures during times of economic slow-down. But under no circumstances, should the government be expected to raise employment level in the country because it is essentially incapable of carrying out the task successfully. It has been noticed that when government is assigned the task of job creation, it does so inefficiently usually hiring more people than needed for various government…

Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Return to Work
Balancing health, home, family, work:
With this purpose, this research paper probes into the methods, mechanisms that policies managers may utilize in the quest to facilitate employee leave and return to work. As this is a subject that deals with policies that may have a resounding impact on the welfare of both the company and it's employees, hence it is necessary that we take into account the psychological and emotional needs of individuals as discussed in the theories of Maslow, Herzberg and McClelland. This proposal shall demonstrate the beneficial aspects of leave policy implementation, as none exists at this point and prove that just a little consideration on the part of the management can turn any company's ventures into a roaring success.

Opportunities abound in the forensics industry today, and the experts suggest that this trend is going to continue to increase in the future. The term "forensics," though, can be applied to a number of different fields; however, all of these disciplines share a common feature in that their work products are specifically used in courts of law or for other legal issues that can mean the difference between life and death in many cases. According to Black's Law Dictionary (1990), the term "forensic" means "belonging to courts of justice," while "forensic engineering" means "the application of the principles and practice of engineering to the elucidation of questions before courts of law" (p. 648). Genetic forensics refers to the diagnosis of otherwise unknown biological material based on analysis of proteins or DNA; this branch of forensics has resulted in hundreds of death row prisoners being freed after they were exonerated through…

Universities are often ranked by the strength or weakness of their graduate programs and the quality of original research the university is able to provide in certain fields of study. Furthermore, in addition to offering traditional graduate programs, the University offers an opportunity for those holding bachelors degrees to earn graduate certificates through work experience. This opportunity will be appealing to those students seeking post-graduate education but who need to work rather than being full-time graduate students.
The University's outside business partnerships also offer benefits to students. Most universities have outside business partnerships, such as vendor relationships with on-campus providers. However, the University goes beyond traditional vendor-relationships. It actively cultivates a wide variety of partnerships with businesses, which increases its access to research opportunities. Furthermore, these established relationships with corporations help increase internship programs and also promote the hiring of graduates. The influx of corporate money to the school helps…

Another challenge facing the industry today is the important legal issues that surround the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Koehn & Del Vecchio, 2004). One of these is the fact that the process of due diligence practiced by many companies is now taking much longer (Koehn & Del Vecchio, 2004). There is a higher degree of caution than was previously utilized and because of this many companies are discovering information that would have gone unnoticed before the Act was passed. This is, however, not the only legal issue that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has caused (Koehn & Del Vecchio, 2004). Another concern is that accountants and attorneys could now be required to report the known wrongdoings of corporations that they have business with to authorities.
Since lawyers are now required to disclose these types of issues, the attorney-client privilege has been compromised by this Act (Koehn & Del Vecchio, 2004). However, the Act was…

While the ureau of Labor Statistics was extraordinarily helpful in researching the marketing manager occupation, the United States Department of Labor was not very helpful. For occupational specific information, this Web site refers the visitor to the ureau of Labor Statistics. The United States Department of Labor primarily provides general information regarding labor statistics and labor rights and doesn't drill down to specific occupations. Therefore, the site isn't that useful for a job search, but is more appropriate to companies for understanding the laws they must comply with and for workers to understand the laws that protect them and what to do if they have not been followed.
The United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics provides information similar to the United States Department of Labor. As such, it does not offer the occupational-level data provided by the ureau of Labor Statistics.
In summary, when researching a particular occupation, the ureau…

The jobs of Retail Sales Associate and Inbound Stocking and Receiving Associate at True Value were compared and analyzed. They are somewhat similar in job skills and educational requirements, though the requirements and duties diverge at different points.

The article on job scams in the Internet is a timely piece for all Internet users, especially those who consider Internet technology as a viable medium through which they can earn a living. The article is timely not only because of the ease and accessibility that the Internet provides for job seekers, but also because online jobs respond very well to the changes happening in the employment sector -- both financially and socially. It is financially responsive to individuals who are looking for other sources of income, or those who do not have the capability to spend time and/or money, or lack the resources, to take on a day job. Moreover, with the continuing effect of the global economic crisis to businesses all over the world, individuals who lost their jobs because of cost cutbacks become more enticed to take on job offers, especially those that require less cost on…

Outsourcing" on the U.S. Economy
The increasing trend of outsourcing of jobs from the United States in recent years has assumed alarming proportions. Most projections indicate that the present trend is going to accelerate in future. The issue has invited greater attention recently as more and more categories of white collar jobs are now being outsourced by the U.S. companies while in the past only lower paid industrial jobs were affected. Some economists including officials of the present U.S. administration have shrugged off the phenomenon as part of economic globalization and believe that it would prove beneficial for the U.S. economy in the long-term. Others are of the view that the negative impact of outsourcing far outweighs its positive effect. In this essay, I shall highlight the negative effects of outsourcing on the U.S. economy, besides outlining the current and future trends in out-sourcing.

Job requires you to assume an adversarial role:
The job of a prosecuting attorney requires the individual to continually assume an adversarial role. In order to conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and determine the part people have played in situations that could entail breaking the law, a prosecuting attorney must strive to evoke responses from defendants. In the a court of law, a prosecuting attorney will take an adversarial position when questioning a defendant. Generating a certain level of stress for defendants is one way of exposing certain habits of mind or uncovering important information or evidence.

Jobs Overseas and the Effect it has on Employees in the Financial Industry: A Correlational Study
After globalization
Global changes in the banking and financial sectors have cause flow of not only work but finance to countries that were unreachable like China and Indian have opened markets globally owing to the international and U.S. pressure after globalization. The need to invest in these countries stem from the fact that Indian market is very lucrative especially with the Forex and commodities. These changes have resulted in the introduction of information technology, networking, the way work is done, and qualifications has caused the outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries and thus has become the biggest economic issues of recent years.

job analysis is the process of identifying the best person for a job based on examining the tasks performed, the competencies required to perform those tasks, and the connection between the task and the competencies ("Assessment & Selection," 2013). Performing such an analysis allows the company to better understand the requirements of a given job in the hopes of finding the person best suited to fill the role. There are four main elements involved in performing a thorough job analysis. The first is a description of the work activity that is gathered through a vigorous review of the job and the all the tasks related to adequately performing the work. Second, the knowledge, skills, and abilities or competencies required to perform the job are assessed and catalogued. A large amount of data is compiled to study the range of allowable job performance and the characteristics of the workplace (Prien, Goodstein,…

Thus, becoming a member of a professional association can be valuable opportunity for a new job-seeker.

Such processes are made even more efficient by the implementation of an efficient goal-system. As suggested above, the goals are established at individual level, at the group of employees performing similar tasks and at the level of the supervisor and departmental level.
The implementation of the new positions inside the department should be performed by taking into consideration employees' skills and motivation. The progress of the job redesign project should be monitored closely. Feedback sessions may be held in order to examine the challenges and progresses faced. Training should be offered to employees if necessary. The process completed, it can be examined and extended to other departments.

See, as a Catholic growing up in a Muslim dominated country I was exposed to discrimination and religious persecution. Threats of violence against my family and I were not uncommon.
I say this knowing that not all Muslims are bad people. In fact, growing up some of my best friends were people of Islamic faith. However, when religious extremism begins to dominate a society and inform the cultural milieu, it's bad for everyone who lives there, but it's often particularly hard on women. This is what happened in my hometown. Things got ugly, really ugly.

job is largely an outgrowth of the industrial revolution's efficiency demands. There was a widespread notion of substitution of machine power for people power, management specialists Adam Smith and Fredrick Taylor have given their remarkable contribution in creating positive correlation between specialization and efficiency (Litterer, 1969). Among the management experts and managers the popularity of specialized and short cycle jobs have climbed its peak. Job specialization was initiated in organizations by breaking down jobs into its lowest level and designing jobs for each part. It evolves specialization, expertise and improved quality. Job specialization implication is seen in workplace in manufacturing and assembly lines where workers were specialized for specific task for the whole shift.
In job specialization the same task is repeated whole day long. The benefits of job specialization can be drawn from the concept of 'Division of labor' proposed by Adam Smith. Smith had a strong conviction that…

An orthographic definition is one which is formalistic in the sense of being bound to the form of a word in a particular medium. It is not sensitive to distinctions of meaning or grammatical function. To this extent it is not complete" (1998, p. 4). Therefore, in an effort to help complete the definition, a reference to Webster's advises that a word is simply "something that is said" (1999, p. 2633).
Unfortunately, this formal definition does little to clear the muddied waters with respect to what a word is, and Carter (1998) suggests that, "It may be more accurate to define a word as the minimum meaningful unit of language. This allows us to differentiate the separate meanings contained in the word fair in so far as they can be said to be different semantic units" (p. 5). Furthermore, this definition fails to embrace the polysemous nature of many words.…

Job Evaluation, Market Pricing & Pay Structures
Job evaluation is a division of the salary management practice. It is a methodical examination of the relative demands that work places on a worker. Job evaluation results in a relative ranking of positions. This position, frequently expressed in terms of salary grades, is the foundation for the classification of salary ranges (Hilling, 2003). Market pricing is an organization of gathering data on the pay rates for comparable jobs in other companies to set up their market rate or price and track movements in those rates. The objective of the process is to help set the organization's own pay rates at the suitable level in order to employ and retain the personnel it desires (Graebner & Seaweard, 2004). While market pricing has forever been the foremost way that companies establish their pay levels, the lack of valuable survey data has been…

Also, their variety has increased. For example, there are dozens of hairdryers on the market, produced by several companies, from large ones, like Panasonic, Philips, or Braun, to smaller producers that address this field also.
These companies can now afford to introduce many types of hairdryers because they are manufactured in Asian regions, and their production costs have reduced, allowing them to expand their product range and to promote smaller prices that are attractive to customers.
Although these companies produce numerous types of hairdryers, the products of different companies are almost identical. There is little product differentiation. The quality of the products is similar, they provide similar benefits, they almost have the same price, the technology they use is similar, even their shape is similar. They mainly differ in color, and name.

Malik could address this by allowing her to move up, recommending her for promotion, or promoting her himself if he has the authority to do so. Any kind of promotion might entice her to stay, and if she cannot be promoted (due to a lack of vacancies or other reasons), than Malik may want to work with her to find something else she can do that will be fulfilling. Perhaps she can get involved with other teams or committees, or an assistant can be hired to help her with the work that she finds so unfulfilling, so she can help the company with work she finds more interesting and challenging. Ultimately, there are many options for employees when management wishes to retain them.

Job Study & Its Impact
Due to the fact that Dirt Finder has undergone such a tremendous loss and is now in a position to hire a mass amount of people, there is no better time than the present to undertake a job study to find out what they really need. Because the company was founded on the experience of their employees there have never been any formal job descriptions in place. Employees have always just done what is needed. Doing a job study will help the company to better identify what positions they need to hire for and what kind of person they are looking for that will be the best fit with those who already work there.

In addition to the early nurses' aide job at Westwood, I also performed front desk duties to gain a better understanding of hospital administration. Greeting family members, ordering supplies, maintaining and copying records, answering phones, and completing admissions and discharge papers kept me busy and helped create an organized and efficient working environment at Westwood.

A key reason why I enjoyed working at Westwood was the nursing staff.

One of the ways I gauge my success is through the eyes of my friends and family: the people I know and trust offer me feedback that helps me make changes in my attitude or skill set when appropriate. Unfortunately, Westwood was forced to shut down due to financial troubles and in 2002 I returned home to Illinois. Undeterred, I am now pursuing a higher degree to learn more about medical office procedures. The next phase of my health care career will be in the field of medical records. Because of my experiences at Westwood, working as a nurses' aide and as a front desk clerk, I feel confident and sure of my success.
My decision to pursue a career in medical records reflects the positive experiences I encountered at Westwood Hospital in Texas. No matter where I work in the future, I will reflect on what I learned at Westwood and incorporate those lessons into improving my productivity and helpfulness. The health care profession focuses on serving the needs of others: patients, coworkers, and doctors. As I expand my skills and knowledge base and acquire more training, I will offer the highest quality service as possible.
