Thinking back to the last job I had, much of the job description influenced my decision to apply for the position. The job description that was provided when applying for the position seemed aligned with what I wanted to do and my goals. With my experience on the job, I believe it did not completely match the job description or job posting. I would say my experience and the job description matched around 70%. The last job I applied for was a behavior technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With my experience and with the job description, it did were some similarities. Some similar aspects of my experience and the job description consist of working with children who have autism or developmental disorders. Another similarity is applying ABA methods and practices during sessions with the children. These aspects of the job description did align with my experience. I practiced ABA methods and applied them during sessions with the children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The differences between my experience and the job description are that the job description greatly emphasized the idea of working as a team to hold the child. This was a major difference between my experience and the job description. Throughout the application process and in the job description and job posting, it is continuously mentioned that this role includes lots of teamwork and communication with the case manager, other behavior technicians, and other professionals. Throughout my time, I rarely experienced communication and collaboration with anyone, even when I had questions or concerns. This job requires continuous and regular communication for the benefit of the client, but without having a team to work with, this made the job far more difficult and draining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While I do not have a copy of the job description, it is somewhat similar to other job descriptions for this role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
