Workplace Health & Safety Issues
For the Take the Life Stress Inventory, I was a very low score which meant that I have a low amount of life change and low susceptibility to stress-induced health breakdowns.

Critiquing a Recruitment Ad
I would say that my brand is going above and beyond in anything I do. I make sure I meet expectations and if I can, go above and beyond. The first impression I present to potential employees is that I am a hard worker. When I put my mind to something or dedicate myself to […]

Job Descriptions
The last job I had was on campus as a Peer Advisor for the College of Business Advising Office. My experience on the job matched the job description very closely and better than I expected. I understood that I was going to assist the advisors with their appointments but scheduling appointments for them. I also […]
