What I enjoy most nigh my job is simply helping people get the physique that they desire. nobody feels better than helping others, especially with something that you enjoy dearly. Ive been into fitness unless somewhat all my life and I computer program on doing it for as languish as I forciblely can. 4. Do you work in a squad or independent environment? For the most part, work independently, because it is just me and whoever my client is for that time being on a one on one fitness session. It can be similarly considered a team environment because I am around my coworkers just about my hale shift.T here(predicate) are also other trainers here at my job, a nd sometimes we are works in the same area. 5. How does this style impact your work (meaning, working with others can be challenging, supportive, helpful, frustrating and working independently can be lonely, empowering, difficult? ) It is a little bit of both so it is evenhandedly balanced, leaning more towards independent. I think independently is the best way for this field of work. When I am in the gym I like to focus on my death or the person am trainings goal in this case. If it was more of a team environment they would likely remove me while am training my trainee. What do you like least about your job? What I least like of the job is a sanely hard question. I love just about everything related to fitness. If I had to say, it would probably be the lucre. I could do with a higher salary, but I don t plan on working here forever and eventually I will move on up. 7. What was your major in college? Majored in Nutrition in college. After I finished I got my certification in face-to-face training. After I tho up enough from my current job I will then start my own private business and train and diet people for NP competitions. 8.Please describe your locomote course of study to this current job. My career path was first working as a sales associate at LA fitness, then after completing my major in fodder in college, I got certified in personal training and it was well-fixed for me to get the job here because I already worked there. Reflection My career path is to become a personal trainer, and eventually own my own chain of fitness gyms, similar to LA fittingness. It aligns with my purpose because it will give me a chance to help people, and help myself at the same time. It is a win win career path. Nick, the individual I interviewed who is employed atLA Fitness has been employed in that career for 3 years now. He is the head of the fitness department and specializes in personal fitness. The path he took to get to where he is at now is pretty a grea t deal how I conceive of it myself, even though he is not at his goal yet. Him working already at LA Fitness gave him the opportunity to secure a personal training job there, and also to be the head Of that department. Am now more interested than ever in this field, even though he made a good point about the salary not really being up to par, but I plan on owning my own gyms so it will increase within time.InterviewI interviewed Joe Neal, Deputy Probation Officer III, Mendocino County Adult Probation. I learned a lot about the Probation Officers job and Joe during my time interviewing him. Joe started his jurisprudence enforcement career at a young age. He did not go into much detail about his career start, but did tell me that he eventually ended up being a Juvenile cost Judge. He retired then went to work at the Mendocino County Sheriffs Department. Due to the strive and shift work there he decided he would have more impact on people if he were in probation.He applied and went through the march and was hired. His goal was to help people turn their lives around and live drug and alcohol free productive lives. Although probation is also a high stress job, Joe verbalize he would choose this craft again if he were younger. I asked him about his daily routine and job responsibilities. Case load seemed to be the majority of his day. Reading reports, petitions and distributing cases to the 65 probation officers in his office. I am told that a pre-sentencing report can take from 8 to 12 hours to complete.There are on average of 25 to everyplace 100 that come in on a daily basis. On average there are from 70 to 100 cases per officer in our county at the adult probation office and 15 to 40 at young probation. When I asked Joe about transfers or advancement, he smiled, almost laughed and simply said No way. He explained to me that in the economic crunch and with a miss of providers in our county, things are at a stand still. When the economy is not so bad, a transfer can usually take place on a case by case basis and are recommended by a supervisor.We got onto the subject on personal rewards of the job. Much like me, Joe takes great pride in helping people start their lives all over on a positive drug and alcohol free path. comprehend people accomplish this he says Is very rewarding. I asked him about the hiring process and what it takes to be a probation officer. He asked me if I was sure this is what I wanted to do for a career. He handed me a rather mystifying tract of papers that describe how the hiring process takes place. In reading through it, I was very impressed at the amount of information the packet contained.The very extensive background checks, the lie detector process and personal life habits. Things like whether you have stolen a pen from work, paying your bills on time and a full credit history. The documents they need to verify your information and pages and pages of information on your previous addresses, jobs an d family members, including step. It is started by applying and then applications are sieve by qualifications. There is a written exam with the State. Once the exam is passes, there is an Oral Board interview.A copy of your driving record printout, copy of current drivers license, sealed copies of college transcripts, copy of your college diploma, social security card, birth certificate, release forms for verification of information provided, and a handwritten autobiographical history. Once that information is verified fingerprinting takes place. When you pass all of the background the next step is to be scheduled for a somatic and a psychological exam. An offer of employment is contingent with passing the physical and psychological exam.I got the impression from this packet that if you are not a person who takes the time to keep your life in order, you cant possibly help others learn how to either. I also noticed during the interview how short most of Joes answers were. I asked h im why he didnt elaborate on different questions, he told me that he learned a long time ago to get to the point quickly and you get the best answer from your questions. If they dont have too much information to compute, you usually get an answer beyond just because. I noticed Joes office was very tidy and well organized.I didnt ask how much time he spends filing or organizing, but with the case loads, I imagine he has to make the time after each task to be prepared for the next handicraft of the day. As I was walking out, I thanked him for his time and for all of the worthy information he gave me. He then informed me that he is now retiring and his time will be spent Eating Bon-Bons I left Joes office, headed home and thought about what he had told me. There is a lot of information to store for my future and to project my goals. In the end, I have decided that, yes, this is in fact what I want to do.
