Introduction To establish purpose of existence and provide insight to the desired future, organizations, companies, and agencies formulate vision, mission statement, and goals or objectives to serve as the blueprint that help to build and operate an excellence-driven organization or agency. Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS) is one of the state’s agencies charged with protecting the public, detainees, and offenders under its supervision (DPSCS, n. d.). The mission and vision of the agency can be seen as the managerial tools that are used to direct the agency’s personnel’s behavior toward attaining its objectives (Dermol, 2012). In this paper, I will report how the DPSCS vision and mission statement associate
And hopefully in end reaching the goal by keeping a personal interaction with
Re: Letter of Recommendation for Joshua Whiting To The RA Selection Committee: I write on behalf of Joshua Whiting’s application for a Resident Assistant position. I believe Josh to be an exemplary student-scholar as well as a person of tremendous character with significant leadership skills. I met Josh in my first semester of college in our biology class. We were both Biochemistry majors so we got to skip Biology 1 and therefore were both new to this new world of college but already in a group full of sophomores and students who had been in college for multiple semesters. Naturally we gravitated to each other due to this aspect we had in common.
The topic this past week that will be most beneficial to my ministry is the session with Commissioner Fred Ruth. Commissioner Ruth’s officership was more than a wonderful story; it was account of life that put pride aside, was completely available, and of someone who was fully obedient to his calling. There were many points made by Commissioner Ruth that I will consider for my ministry as an officer. The first point made was that “one would never know the impact that we can make, if we make ourselves available.”
In retrospect, the goals that were created with Maria may have only further added to the mounting pressure in her life. My need to follow a model based approach, meet three times a week and uphold stakeholder requirement coupled with automatically asserting my professional knowledge (unintentionally) regarding how to approach her circumstances may have diminished Maria’s own meaning of the situation. It is interesting to note that the same way that Maria may have felt overwhelmed or pressured to meet “her goals” is the same way that her own service providers felt pressured to “help” Maria meet her goals. At first Maria was able to accomplish the set goals, she took the children to their psychiatric and physical evaluations, Maria was ensuring that Joel and Ana where attending school, and utilized outside resources such as food pantries, diaper and clothing banks (not to mention the school materials, food, clothing, and diapers that ACS often donated to the
1. Please describe any personal characteristics which you possess that make you qualified to be a Resident Assistant. What skills do you possess and what experiences have you had that might enhance your candidacy for the Resident Assistant position? a. As an individual, I find myself to be very accountable. Finding excuses to explain mistakes, in either personal or group work, reduces confidence in one’s abilities.
For Jack and Susan to continue to have success in their business and having family time, they are going to need to create S.M.A.R.T goals to create an agenda to place into action. Their goals have to be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-specific (Stolzfus, 2005). These goals will help to get rid of the overwhelmed feeling. The coach is there to guide both of them to make sure that are S.M.A.R.T. and keep the accountable with the agenda.
Resident Assistants serve many purposes and play many roles in the community. They help to build and promote a supportive and active community within their residence hall and across the campus, and offer support and guidance to their residents. This aids in making Geneseo feel more like home and a community rather than simply a school. RAs enforce Geneseo and Department of Student Life rules, while also being a more easily accessible and less intimidating resource to other students in need of help. I want to be an RA so that I can become more involved in the Geneseo community in a positive way, by helping and representing other students.
Dear the National Honor Society selection committee, Thank you for the great honor of being invited to apply for membership to such a well-respected and incredible organization. I am very excited about this opportunity as it presents an optimal way in which to further my passion of expanding my mind and bettering my community. Since I entered high school, I have pursued this by taking all honors classes and any Advanced Placement classes offered to me each year. Although sometimes I was not always entirely sure what to expect walking into each class, and of course there have been classes I like more than others, there is no class I regret taking because each and every one has opened my mind up to a new way of thinking.
Objectives must be relevant to the what it hopes to achieve
As a Criminal Justice graduated student who is presently pursuing a master’s degree in Applied Philosophy and Ethics at Texas State University, I am writing to request a potential opportunity of employment as an entry level U. S. Probation Officer. I first learned of the opening(s) through a friend that is currently employed as a U.S. Probation Officer at the McAllen, TX Division. I am interested in a position that will allow me to combine the skills I have developed in both Criminal Justice and Philosophy. Throughout my undergraduate career I maintained a 4.0 GPA and currently hold a 4.0 GPA in graduate school.
Dear Dr. Cathleen Moore and the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, I would like to be considered for your Graduate Teaching Assistant position that was posted on 10/31/2017. I believe that I would be a great fit for this position due to my experiences as a teacher and my academic background in psychology. One reason I would be a great fit for this position is because I once held what seems to be a nearly identical position in college. At Southern Illinois University (SIU), I served as an undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Psychology under the tutelage of Dr. Meera Komarraju. In this position, I led a discussion section for a similar number of students that were mostly at the freshmen and sophomore level.
I believe that the mission of a student ambassador is to promote the vision, growth and quality of University of Maryland, by optimizing the experience of current students, prospective students and special guests. I would like to be a student ambassador primarily because I want to get more involved with the university; not to mention the positive impact it will have on my CV. I would also gain experience in public speaking, building friendships with fellow ambassadors and develop my leadership skills. Furthermore, this offers a responsibility that can be both challenging and extremely rewarding.
After taking career connection I have learned more than I expected, during this class I have learned how to make a cover letter and resume which has landed me many interview opportunities, learning how to talk to employer through mock interview, learning how to preform elevator speeches and selling oneself to employers in a quick manner, and signing up for the Vandiver Center for Career Development Resources which allows me to see jobs made specifically for Queens students. The two key items that I find the most helpful from the career connections class was the cover letter and resume and the mock interview. I found these two to be the most useful things I learned because a cover letter and a resume are vital; they are what get what get your foot through the door and it is the first impression before the employer actually meets you. I found the mock interview helpful because it prepared me to think quickly and have
