BaptistCare operate more than 160 facilities and programs across NSW and the ACT to serve the aged, the disadvantaged and the disabled. The organisation was founded in 1944 as the NSW Baptist Home Trust to serve the needs of the most vulnerable and isolated members of society, and since then has grown progressively and significantly across NSW and ACT. The journey to today’s BaptistCare from its humble beginning in 1944 reached Baptist Community Services (BCS) in 1986. In 2014, BCS renewed its commitment to deliver care and services to a diverse group of clients with the primary target groups being older people and their carers, people living with disadvantage and distress, and marginalized people requiring housing and support.
I applied to the company and got hired as Guest Coordinator. The job is under directing supervision, answering salon phone calls, managing the salon computer appointment systems, guest recording and tracking salon’s traffic flow. Within 3 weeks I got promoted as the lead cashier. Being a lead cashier I am responsible of providing an exceptional experience for guests by engaging each guest to determine their individual needs, keeping fixtures fully stocked with merchandise, maintaining overall store cleanliness and completing tasks as assigned. Two month after, I got another promotion and I became the associate manager of people which now called as retail sales manager.
Working at Saltworks is never boring to say the least. We are constantly busy like most other local breakfast and lunch spots in Wilmington. We also have a variety customers, from couples and their screaming babies to eighty year old ladies that order the same meal every day. As a hostess, I coordinate service and ensure smooth transition to accommodate the customers and staff. I am the first employee to interact with customers when they walk in the door; therefore giving the first impression of the restaurant.
I am always dealing with people whether at the store or on the farm. Psyck's Super Market has allowed me to overcome my fears of talking and helping customers out. When I first started working the cash register, I was extremely shy, nervous, and afraid of screwing up. I used to hate helping customers, but now that I am older, it does not bother me. Watching my father work with customers had also helped.
Throughout my time at Texas Roadhouse I have learned many life lessons. For instance how to be a team player, a restaurant doesn’t function properly if everyone isn’t doing his or her job. I have gained a great amount of patience from handling all sorts of people that I come across. I have broken out of my shell and am much more outgoing because it’s extremely hard to be shy when your job is literally talking to people. Then there are the relationships I have built.
And anyone who’s worked in customer service knows that regardless of how tired you are or the circumstances you’re in, you have to put on a happy face. I work in customer service and I completely understand those feelings. Like the speaker’s in the poem, every job has its ups and
The basic principle of servant leadership is serving others and the community. The three principles of the servant-leadership are sharing the power, putting the needs of others first and helping people achieve their highest potential so that they may want to serve others. This creates an environment of trust, collaboration, teamwork and group improvement. Robert Greenleaf created the term, Servant Leader, and creating the idea of leading by serving with individuals and organizations. In one of his major essay’s, The Institution as Servant, Greenleaf (as cited in “What is Servant Leadership,” n.d.) expressed what was frequently called the “credo.”
There are three marketing strategies the Salvation Army uses that are advertising, fundraising and promotions. Firstly, the Salvation Army uses advertising strategies to get noticed by the right people at the right time and it uses these strategies to present their products or services more easily and clearly. Also, it helps the company to deliver their story to current customers through appropriate media. The Salvation Army usually uses vivid and impressive advertising to awaken the public’s sympathy and desire to help people who are suffering from poverty and homeless.
Last summer, I volunteered as a Youth Teaching Assistant at the National Smithsonian where I taught about twenty kids from around the world how to make their own pinhole cameras and develop their photos in the darkroom. Although it was a temporary and unpaid position, in many ways I consider this to be my first real job. I had to fill out an application, be interviewed over the phone, and attend a training session. During the week long class, I got up early every morning to begin my commute by metro to DC.
I never noticed how much an employee interaction can impact my encounter. If an employee at Garage asked if I needed any help or how my day was going, I feel as if my encounter would have been completely different. I am also more observant during service encounters now because I know the roles of employees and
I worked with young children in the resource room with the staff that included teachers, special needs assistants and an occupational therapist, who routinely visits the school. I found the experience immensely rewarding to see the progress the children made in such a short space of time. I was able to see and discuss the different exercises that the occupational therapist used with the children in order for them to make progress. This gave me a great insight into the work environment and daily tasks of an occupational therapist and it made me realise that I had the personality traits and abilities that suited this career
I worked in the Assembly frame department. The plant produced 500+ cars a day. I secured knowledge about the car manufacturing operations. I worked on the production line for several days where I was involved with cross-functional people and gained useful insights around daily management at the shop floor.
In the words of Debbie Ballentine, Interpreter Education student at Western Piedmont Community College “Service learning with its practical aspect of hands-on learning has afforded me many hours of experience the classroom cannot offer. Exciting, nerve wracking, challenging, rewarding, humbling, the need for a serving heart, listening ear, and a diligent moral ethic- all are words I would use to describe my service learning experiences.” (Jeandron and Robinson, 2010). Faculty involvement is a key to the success of any service learning program.
One of the many jobs I have held in the past was a welder for my dads company. I would weld chairs or bleachers together, for schools, stadiums and movie theaters. We would have to build the armrest, the back seat and bottom and even did the upholstery for the seats as well as paint the parts the color that they wanted. We would have a team go out and weld them all together and make sure they function
