American Red Cross Employment

I have a job for a medical assistant that says you need high school, cpr certification, and customer service skills. I have worked with the general public before and have customer service skills, I have high school and college, but not for medical assisting. The cpr certification is what worries me. Apparently, I need to be CPR certified. I was wondering, which American Red Cross CPR should I get, and which one is the most general and will help me the most in case of an actual emergency and which is best for employment. Please, if you have actual knowledge of the CPR that the American red cross offers, please help me.

Since you will be a medical assistant, you would need the health care provider. Check with your employer, and make sure that the Red Cross certification is acceptable. They may want the American Heart Association (AHA) certification.

One of my personal goals is to become the first documented person in my family to obtain a Doctorate of Philosophy degree in History. Being a respected history professor has been a dream of mine ever since I was a small child. Growing up in a small town such as Woodville, Mississippi becoming a doctor in anything was the fantasy of most pre adolescence children, but as reality struck most of them they soon changed they mind. "I can't see my self going to school for about 8 years after high school is a statement I often hear when I tell my peers of my post secondary plans. Despite the negative criticism I receive from my peers and others I know I can achieve my goal if I work diligently and whole heartily at.

After during my fair share of research I found out that obtaining a Doctor of Philosophy in History requires a lot of hard work and intense disciplining. Most individuals that obtain their doctorate degree started early as early as middle school at achieving their goal. An informal name for this is often referred to as a " blue print." I'm quite sure my " blue print" is similar to many individuals who have obtained and plan on obtaining a doctorate degree. My blue print is very elaborated but for the sake of average individuals I will put it in laymen's term.

The first step of my blue print was to take courses in high school that was recommended by my high school counselor for individuals who plan on majoring in History. So far I have taken all the required History courses plus a few additional ones. The next step of my blue print is to enroll in a college or university that has a outstanding History background. Currently I plan to attend Jackson State University in the summer of 2008. According to research Jackson State has one of the highest ranking History program in the South. While at JSU I plan to take all the required History classes plus a few Advance Placement courses.

The next step of my blue print is to graduate with my Bachelor of Science degree in History from JSU, then enroll in a Master degree program at California State University at North ridge. While at CSU I plan to study abroad to get some better insights on World History and customs and traditions of foreign culturals. The next step of my blue print is to graduate from CSU and enroll in a doctorate History program at the Howard University in Washington DC.

The final step of my blue print is to graduate from Howard University with my Ph. d in History. After I obtain my Ph. d I will seek employment as an assistant professor at a Historical Black College or University (HBCU). I always dreamed of being on the lecturing staff at a university such as Jackson State University or Southern University. After about ten year of teaching at an HBCU I plan to seek employment at an Ivy League college of my choice. I would just love to lecture at an prestige educational institute such as Harvard, Yale or Howard.

If I'm successful at achieving my goal I will have solace within my self. I will rejoice at the fact that all the doubts people had about me was just untrue statements. With my new found position I will be a valuable asset to my job as well as the community. I will be active in many organizations such as National Association for the Advancement for Color People, United Nations and American Red Cross Foundation. I will try my best to give back to the community and help unfortunate individuals achieve their goals.

While I would encourage you to set ambitious goals for yourself, I also think that it is important for you to understand that your goals should match your talents, otherwise, you will be disappointed as you will inevitably fail.

So, for starters, if you are just graduating high school what you should be thinking about is not so much about your career as a Ph.D lecturer at an Ivy League college but about where your interests and talents really are.

If you are destined to become a history academic, then that will result from your passion for history and your interest in history. You will naturally study those things and if you are good at history, you will be recognized by your teachers with good grades and good recommendations, and that in turn will get you into great schools, and that in turn will open opportunities for you. And eventually, maybe you will in fact wind up with a PhD in history and a successful academic career.

But equally likely, you may come to realize that history is not what really lights you on fire - something else does.

You are too young to know and too inexperienced to know what it is you are likely to be doing ten years in the future.

For what its worth, your essay is full of poor grammar, which is an indication of a poor education. You may not have a lot of options at the local school, but by reading on your own, you can certainly improve your writing skills, and that would be my first and strongest recommendation. Start reading and find a mentor, someone who can help you figure out if history is really what you want to devote your life to.

Lets look at your first paragraph:

"One of my personal goals is to become the first documented

{ misuse of the word documented; since you either are or are not the first person in your family to get a ...etc}

person in my family to obtain a Doctorate of Philosophy degree in History. Being a respected history professor has been a dream of mine ever since I was a small child

{That really sounds odd - since it places the focus on being respected for a professional role rather than on the passion for history that is the pre-requisite to success in that role}.

Growing up in a small town such as Woodville, Mississippi becoming a doctor in anything was the fantasy of most pre adolescence children, but as reality struck most of them they soon changed they

{you mean 'their', using 'they' is only correct if you are speaking eubonics or rapping}

mind. "I can't see my self going to school for about 8 years after high school is a statement I often hear when I tell my peers of my post secondary plans. Despite the negative criticism I receive from my peers and others I know I can achieve my goal if I work diligently and whole heartily at.

{'whole heartedly' is the correct way of saying that; heartily would be correct in the following sentence: He ate his soup heartily. Also, ending the sentence with 'at' is poor form if not downright in error.

Your next paragraph, is actually embarrassing. I offer by criticism sincerely, because someone has to tell you the truth here.

After during

{wrong word, 'during' should be 'doing'}

my fair share of research I found out that obtaining a Doctor of Philosophy in History requires a lot of hard work and intense disciplining

{'disciplining' should be 'discipline'}

. Most individuals that obtain their doctorate degree started early as early as middle school at achieving their goal.

{ This is a completely clueless statement. People in middle school don't think about a doctorate and if they do they have no clue what it is. What is true is that sometimes people in middle school become very interested in a field, like history or biology or geology and that this interest then leads them to pursue an education which eventually leads them into an academic career. }

An informal name for this is often referred to as a " blue print." I'm quite sure my " blue print" is similar to many individuals who have obtained and plan on obtaining a doctorate degree. My blue print is very elaborated but for the sake of average individuals I will put it in laymen's term.

{ Good luck.}

hi,
i just filled out an application to work at a local McDonalds. one one of the areas i had to fill out was past employment. the only other job i worked for was as a dishwasher at a resteraunt. one day i wasn't feeling well, and i tried to call in sick. it was an hour and a half before my shift was supposed to start. they said i had to call in 2 hours before my shift to call in sick. they told me i had to train a new guy to become a dishwasher too, they said if you dont come in you dont have a job. i was seriously sick, almost to the point of throwing up. now, im just wondering when the person from mcdonalds calls up past employers, if he wont hire me for that reason. ive also done a lot of volunteer work, including data entry, and that was a sucsess, no problems there. i thought that might have helped for the position of a cashier. also, im american red cross CPR trained. all i am wondering is if he will give me an interview or not based on the credentials ive just listed. btw, im only a teen
THANKS!

Hello Shaun:

Labor laws keep employers from giving details about your separation from a job. McDonald's (or any other employer) can only ask for:
- Your dates of employment,
- Your last hourly wage rate; and
- Whether or not you are subject to rehire.

Nothing more. Employers can be sued for telling more than that, because of privacy laws.

Focus on the skills you have, your certifications and especially your volunteer work. Detail these in a student resume format (for people with limited work experience) and you'll do fine.

See this site for a great sample and tips to make your resume shine.

Good luck with your opportunities!

• Certified in First Aid/CPR from American Red Cross.

I have had a chance to look over your resume and have a few suggestions that I think could help you take the document to the next level.

1. I think you might want to forgo the Objective Statement (objectives are best left for the cover letter and are falling out of favor) and instead use a Branding Statement – a one or two sentence statement that outlines your high level experience and helps to create the "frame" through which the reader will see your information. Much of what you have put in the Objective Statement would work well. You might try something like:

"Detail-focused and compassionate professional, offering extensive Case Management, Program Management and Administrative experience. Track record of leveraging outstanding communication and interpersonal skills – including speaking fluent Spanish – to provide the guidance and tools necessary to effect positive change, both within families and within the organizations that support them."

See how that achieves the same goal as an objective, but communicates so much more. It also is a much more engaging way to open the document.

2. Many of your bullet points are responsibility focused. I think you could really set yourself apart by speaking more to accomplishments. I know this can be difficult in your field (which is why it would set you apart) but since prior performance is the best indicator of future success, speaking to accomplishments is the most effective way to engage the reader. Ask yourself the following question, "In each of my roles, how was my success measured? What metrics were I evaluated on?" Those instances when you met or exceeded those goals make for excellent bullet points.

3. Small item. You don't need to say "obtained" before your degree. By listing a degree, you are automatically saying you obtained it.

4. Take a close look at your bullet points and make certain the grammar is correct. I see a few areas were the grammar isn't as tight as it could be.

I hope that helps. It looks like you do really important work, so thank you for that! Best of luck in your job search.
