Lifetime Recreation: Week 13 Job Qualification

Ideal Job: Recreational Therapist 

My ideal dream job is to be a recreational therapist. A recreational therapist works with people who have disabilities or illnesses and makes recreational activities  adaptable for them. A RT  has many duties including planning events for all ages and for all disabilities. It takes extensive planning of activities to ensure that all can participate in some way. These activities can be based on a variety of events such as hiking, skiing, white-water rafting, dance, sports, arts and crafts.

How being a Program Assistant applies to this position:

As a Lifetime Recreation Program Assistant, it was mandatory to plan variety of recreational activities that engaged college students.This required daily, weekly, and monthly updates on the status of the Living-Learning Community and how the students were being involved in recreation. The activities were based on ideal participation that the students could still be challenged but still able to enjoy themselves and to learn about themselves.

LIfetime Rec- Week 13

Think about all you have been learning on this job.  In preparation for our field trip to the Career Center, discuss what you have learned on the job and how you could sell your qualities and skills to a future employer.  What will you include on your resume about this position to sell yourself for a job after college.  

After you write your description, find some article, video, or other electronic tidbit to illustrate one of the things you have learned from being on this job.

 Working as a Program Assistant, I have been exposed to many different new experiences. I think that one of the most important qualities that I have been improving on is communication. I feel that this is something that future employers are looking for because they need someone who is willing to interact and socialize with different people and then try to discuss what is happening in the workplace(or on the Res hall floor.) Something else that I can take away from being a program assistant, is the ability to work independently, work one on one, and work in a group. These three things are crucial because it shows the employer that you are willing to work by yourself and also you are willing to work in groups when needed. Without these few qualifications, it is harder for the employer to trust the person that they are hiring so that is why it is a great thing to start early and make mistakes to learn what you need to improve on for the long run. :)

The most Important Job Skill

Think about all you have been learning on this job.  In preparation for our field trip to the Career Center, discuss what you have learned on the job and how you could sell your qualities and skills to a future employer.  What will you include on your resume about this position to sell yourself for a job after college. After you write your description, find some article, video, or other electronic tidbit to illustrate one of the things you have learned from being on this job.

            The world is inhabited by 7.1 billion people. Regardless of your field, position, or job you will be interacting with a portion of these people. Furthermore, more times than not that portion of people will include a large discrepancy between communication styles. As the Program Assistant for the College of Business and Economics Residential College I've become the line of communication between students and resources they need around campus; in doing so, I become increasingly proficient in communication with other people from multiple groups. This is a lifelong skill, that needs to be worked on consistently. The Program Assistant position has kick started me through the first steps of a lifelong improvement cycle. Brian Tracy, an entrepreneur, public speaker and foremost expert on business communication sees communication as, “skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life.” After this first semester alone, I can see the drastic improvement in my communication, in just about every aspect. I can articulate my words more efficiently, I have a deeper understanding of my own non-verbal’s and how they make others feel and I have gained insight on how to motivate, support and lead my peers. The experience and knowledge I have pulled from this position have no price tag. These skills will assist me now and as I improve on them for the rest of my professional career.
