#Why coaching certification matters

[octuscle]

From tutor to rookie of the year

Hi, my name is Jake. My company has hired me to tutor a few students with poor grades. That's not necessarily the reason why I started working at the auditing company. But first of all, I'm new here and I'm not going to refuse right at the beginning of my career. And secondly, becoming a teacher had actually been an option for me. Maybe it's fate now or something.

The first lesson gets off to a very promising start. I almost have to tear myself apart to leave your office and get to school on time. But when I arrive, there is a yawning emptiness in the classroom. Only after fifteen minutes I hear noise in the corridor and a couple of football jocks barge in the door. A few still in football gear. And all obviously unshowered after training. Phew, it stinks. And as I look into the handsome, square-cut faces of the boys spraying with testosterone, I'm suddenly back at school. The small, clever but shy boy who, at best, the stars of the football team overlook and, at worst, stuff into the toilet. I clear my throat and say that I'm not here for fun either and that I'm asking for some attention. The boys barely react. Damn it, it's not my problem. I explain a few linear algebra problems on the blackboard and ignore the paper airplanes. I have my school-leaving certificate. I have my master's degree. And my bonus doesn't depend on the grades of these idiots. At least I hope so.

After the debacle of the first tutoring session, my appetite for the second is very dampened. But it was already hard enough to get this internship. The firm is one of the most prestigious accountancy firms in the city. And if my pro bono job as an intern is tutoring the idiots on the football team twice a week, I'll survive. Apart from the 60 hours a week in which I have to pore over balance sheets, that doesn't matter any more.

These days, the musclemen are even on time. And somehow nicer than last time. They even ask me reasonably sensible questions like whether you can predict the trajectories of footballs. I take this as an opportunity to tell them something about vector calculus. They collapse with laughter. "Bro, I was joking. And football isn't math. Football is strength and speed." I'm about to take a breath and say something about Newton and the relationship between force and speed. But instead of listening to me, the jocks start bragging to each other about their heroic stories on the field. And I can't help but listen to them spellbound. When the lesson is over, I look after them with fascination. I wish I could have been more like them at school.

Shit, because I'm the only nerd on the senior team who isn't a complete failure at sports, Coach made me give math tutoring to the football team. He thinks the Meatheads might have a little bit of respect for me. Shit! Them for me? I for them might be more correct! The thought of explaining math to my secret crush forms a wet spot in my Calvin Klein shorts.

I expected the boys to keep me waiting. If they were also punctual and disciplined off the pitch, they wouldn't need any help. And I don't want to tutor them any more than they want to be tutored. We reach a compromise. You listen to my math tutoring for half an hour. And then we'll go out onto the pitch for half an hour and play a bit of football. God knows I'm not unsportsmanlike. But soccer has somehow never been my sport. I'm more of a swimming pool or gym kind of guy. Team sports? Not really.

Shit, yeah, I'm no rocket scientist in math. But I have quite good grades in English and history. I'm not going to fail this year. Why the fuck do I have to go to tutoring with the other bros from the football team? I have no idea. But seriously, the tutor is a total loser. A beanpole in a stuffy shirt. The idiot even wears a tie. Seriously, who wears a tie these days? If I had to wear a tie, I'd change jobs. Or if I had to shower after training. Shit, these are just rules that can come from old fat men. Bros like me and my bros smell like test… Testo… Well that hormone stuff. Sweat, musk and Axe. If I didn't have to go straight to detention again, I'd let the loser smell my armpits… But I'm a sophomore on the team right now. Let the juniors and seniors do that.

"Jack, bro!" This is Chuck. The QB on the team. I can tell by his voice. And by his smell. And I'd also know it by the taste of his cheesy boner…. But he stays locked in his jockstrap cage right now. What a damn shame! "Bro, where were you in tutoring? The dean was there. You're in fucking trouble!" Shit, tutoring! I was at the gym. The other guys are all so pumped. I don't want to lag behind any longer. "Shit, dude, we said you were in the bathroom. The loser tutor didn't dare contradict us. But I think you have to let him suck you off so he doesn't tell on you." Hehehehehe, I like that idea. There are still 40 minutes until football practice… And I haven't cum yet today. "Is the loser still in the classroom?" I ask. Chuck nods. I fist bump him and say that I'll sort it out quickly.

If Chuck and Matt go to college next year, I have a good chance to be the QB. But until then I still have to build up a lot of mass. Those two are just in a whole different league. And I'm damn jealous of the hair on Matt's chest. You should see the bush under his arms. Dude, the man is going to be a fucking gorilla! Shit, I'm not half the man those two are. You can tell immediately by the size of the bulge in our compression shorts. Nevertheless, neither of them mind if I fuck them. But they like fucking me even more. Without eye contact. Otherwise it would be totally homo!

We skipped tutoring again today. Coch covers for us while we're in the gym or doing our laps on the cinder track outside. Nevertheless, it's still up in the air whether Chuck and Matt will be at college next year. And whether I'll be a junior by then. But screw it, NFL pros don't need to know math.

Neil finds out about Kevin's family.

"Kevin is not like us; he is valuable but he is not property in the same sense. He escaped because he had family to run to." "Andrew?" Neil guessed. "I said family, you hard-of-hearing imbecile," Jean said. "His father. Your coach." It took a moment to sink in. When it clicked Neil recoiled from Jean in shock. "What?" He knew, logically, that Kevin had to have a father. Kayleigh Day hadn't gotten herself pregnant, after all. But she'd never given up the name of Kevin's father, no matter how hard the press pushed. If the rumors were right that space was blank on Kevin's birth certificate. She'd named Tetsuji her son's godfather, though, which was how Kevin ended up at Evermore after Kayleigh died. "You're lying," Neil said. "Why else would Kevin run to such a dreadful team?" "But he never—and Coach hasn't—" "Figures he's still too much of a coward to say anything about it." Jean gave a derisive flick of his hand. "If you don't believe me, look for yourself. The last time I saw his mother's letter it was tucked inside one of those boring books of his. He's read it so many times he might have worn the words off the pages by now, but it is worth a shot." "If he knew, why did he stay?" Neil demanded. "He should have gone to Coach when his mother died." "We found out only a few years ago," Jean said. "We found the letter in the master's house purely by accident. Kevin stole it, but he never intended to act on the discovery. He knew going meant losing all of this. It wasn't worth it." Jean gestured around at the locker room. "Once he lost this, of course, there was no reason to stay."

Friday fiver

1. I got lost down the endless rabbit hole of researching my best options for gaining more credentials this week. Lort, this truly is my one major regret in this life - not finishing my BA. Even more than the failed marriages. I looked at dozens of online programs to finish and am up against the fact that around half of my 62 earned credits will transfer. No way am I going to sign up for 3 years to finish this thing because I’m a single woman, sole earner, and It’ll take me twice that amount of time or more. Fuck no I’m not re-taking general education courses when I’ve been a working professional for 30 years. Yet... I want a director role. I can execute a director role. I HAD a director role, but at a small, boutique agency run by people who pulled it all out of their asses on the daily. I rocked it, but it doesn’t play out in the real world, apparently. 

2. So, I am now working through the online Google Project Management Certificate program to add to my credentials in a more affordable way. One minute i’m excited and hopeful that doing this will make me more attractive to hiring managers. The next minute I’m certain it’s pointless and the only thing that will matter is a degree I just can’t make myself earn if those are the terms. I’ll probably do the Data Analytics Certificate next. Then look for a leadership cert. Why am I like this? 

3. The ten day forecast is rain. It’s raining now. The dog refuses to go out and also yells at me to go out. I should put some grass seed down tomorrow. But will I? 

4. The pilates coaching is profoundly changing my way of being in my body. Holy shit. I’m seven weeks into doing a morning yoga/pilates flow (missed a few days, but nearly every day) and I noticed this week I can get up off the floor without having to grab onto something three different times along the way. So this is the benefit of core strength people have been telling me about my whole life. All those millions of crunches I did improperly that didn’t do much of anything... Now it’s the most subtle movements and I’m getting strong. I fucking love this. 

5. I started using Notion a few weeks ago. It’s a pretty steep learning curve, and for the first week I felt like I was spinning my mental wheels in mud, but it’s starting to make sense now. I’m trying the Second Brain method of organizing my life and tasks and am really enjoying the way connections are happening.

Okay, now I have a need. Please entreat a humble mutual with some autistic Shinobu headcanons. Just a morsel to get me through.

Autistic Kuki Shinobu

barely even headcanons

Rules and systems

Character story 3 is about her getting really annoyed about superstitions and pointless rules. Classic "I can't believe these so called experts betrayed me" arc.

She's not against rules and systems, though. She did a law degree and not even to get a job in law.

“Huh? Why are [the Arataki Gang] willing to follow my rules? Because both my words and my fists are very persuasive.”

The "autists socialise different" trope

Highly qualified woman gravitates towards found family full of misfits, because she absolutely sees herself as an outsider

“I've learned how to read people based on their expressions and body language. Besides, nine times out of ten, it's the gang getting in trouble. I don't mind putting on a face to get us out of a sticky predicament, but I still prefer not to smile.”

She can do social niceties but hmph.

She hates smiling and it's pointless and why does everyone ask her to? Here have a mask you assholes.

Also her view on accreditations is adorable.

“Come find me if you ever suddenly want to become certified in anything. I'll lend you all my notes for the exam. Believe me, my notes are detailed enough to help anybody pass.”

...i.e. she has a system and it works and maybe it's a hyperfocus but shh

“...I'm still not certain about a Vision's assessment criteria.”

*pats gently on head* I'm sorry but I'm not sure even Celestia is clear on this

(I mean. I have my own theories, specifically, "you made such a stereotypically Raiden Ei mental move that someone was like 'yeah, Archon material". But that's not a set of rules and my own hc annoys me as much as it would annoy Kuki.)

“How can there be lines of work where you can find employment without the right qualifications? It boggles the mind.”

I'm torn between (1) "Shinobu, please understand that there are other forms of signalling which work just as well, like, say, prior work experience", and (2) "allists hire on Vibe and they invented unconscious bias(*) and I hate them"

(* autists also experience unconscious bias. Autists are not a magically enlightened superior subrace, no matter how tempting that is to believe when I'm annoyed.)

I suspect that, unfortunately, Kuki shares Ei's gullibility on certain fronts and the word "certification" is a weak point for her critical thinking. She'd get a life coach certificate, pseudoscience or not. Or, uh, a Kissing With Tongue certificate.

Other headcanons

Sara and Yanfei are some of her best friends because they are the sanest, most normal people

She learned all the ninjitsu backflip stuff when she was younger and thought that being named Shinobu meant she had to know that stuff

Miyuki is pretty neurotypical and they're both trying really hard to stay in touch but they're on really different wavelengths

(side note: I loved the Shinobu+Miyuki reconciliation in the ends justify the beans)

Shinobu wasn't there for the Itto character quest because she'd just gotten her Vision back and was renewing her nidan in kusari-fundou.

...and she has no idea why people joke about the electro chain whip. It's light, flexible, and deadly in skilled hands. What's so funny?

(yes even after Sara asked her to hit her with it "to better understand what weapons I may encounter on the battlefield", and then moaned)

An organization is like a machine with many moving parts. For it to work efficiently, there must be the right people placed in the right roles.

This requires properly defining and documenting different jobs in the organization through job analysis, job descriptions and job specifications.

These tools form the foundation of key HR functions like recruitment, compensation, performance management and employee development.

In this article, we’ll provide an in-depth overview of what job analysis, descriptions and specifications are, why they matter. We’ll also discuss how to create them accurately for hiring and managing talent effectively.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬?

Job analysis is a systematic process of gathering, documenting and analyzing information about the responsibilities, tasks, skills, abilities, knowledge area, and work context associated with a

particular job. It forms the basis for defining the right requirements for successfully performing that job.

The key objectives of job analysis are to:

● Identify the core duties and responsibilities that a job entails

● Determine the specialized skills, credentials or competencies needed for the job

● Recognize the key performance indicators to measure outcomes for the job

● Understand the environmental/cultural context and physical demands of the job

● Identify machines, tools, equipment, and technologies used in the job

Information for job analysis is gathered in several ways – employee surveys, questionnaires, interviews with job incumbents, observation of workers, and review of policies and procedures.

Specialized jobs may also require analyzing industry standards.

The deliverable from job analysis is documentation that comprehensively describes the job – this is called job description.

𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

An effective job description concisely summarizes the key outputs, responsibilities, required skills and qualifications for a particular job. It serves as a guiding document for recruiting, onboarding, training and performance management.

Key elements that a job description includes are:

● Job title and department

● Overall purpose/objective of the job (summary statement)

● The scope of role and position in org structure

● Key duties and responsibilities

● Interactions with other jobs/departments

● Educational qualifications and specialized certification

● Technical/software skills needed

● Soft skills or behavioral competencies required

● Physical or sensory abilities required

A well-written job description is detailed yet easy to grasp for both job seekers and employees. It should describe both day-to-day activities as well as rare responsibilities that the role may

entail. The language used should be clear and use common industry terminology.

Here’s an example snippet from a job description:

Job Title: Sales Manager

Department: Sales

Summary Statement: Responsible for building and leading high-performing sales teams to drive sustainable business growth and achieve revenue targets for the organization’s products/services. Reports to the Head of Sales.

Roles and Responsibilities:

● Develop and implement strategic sales plans to achieve growth targets

● Manage end-to-end sales cycle for major accounts/partnerships

● Coach and mentor junior sales team members to build capabilities

● Work closely with marketing to generate quality sales leads

● Monitor competition landscape and market trends to identify opportunities

Notice how the summary provides an overview while the responsibilities dive into details of core duties.

𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Job specification is about defining the human requirements – the candidate profile with the skills, traits and experience needed to fulfill those duties.

Job specification details:

● Minimum or required educational qualifications

● Job-related certifications needed

● Hard skills and soft skills required

● Physical attributes like stamina if applicable

● Minimum years and type of experience desired

● Specialized knowledge needed

As part of job specification, you can also indicate “preferred but not required” qualifications to find candidates who may exceed expectations for the role.

The aim is to outline an optimal candidate profile that increases the chances of identifying the right people for long-term success in the job. Paired with the job description, the spec allows for informed hiring decisions based on merit rather than subjective impressions alone.

For example, part of a job spec for a sales manager role could be:

Required Qualification and Experience:

● Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration or relevant field

● Proven experience of 5+ years successfully managing corporate sales teams

● Demonstrated ability to coach and mentor junior sales resources

● Strong track record of achieving revenue targets in past roles

● Subject matter expertise and network in the technology industry

Preferred Qualifications:

● Master’s degree in Business or relevant certification

● Background working with partners/alliances programs

● International sales experience

Here are some key best practices to create accurate and impactful job analysis documentation:

1. Get input from diverse stakeholders: Speak with not just incumbents but their managers and internal customers to get a balanced perspective on the job.

2. Focus on the job, not person: Document only the role itself rather than capabilities of the current person in the job which could be subjective.

3. Use clear, concise language: Write descriptions suited not just for internal HR but also external candidates. Use common industry terminology.

4. Standardize key elements: Use consistent sections and structure across job docs for different roles to enable comparison.

5. Review and update regularly: Revisit docs as business needs evolve to ensure relevance. You can also build review cadence.

6. Collaborate with the compensation team: Align job analysis with pay scale considerations for competitive and fair compensation.

7. Leverage software tools: Use online templates and organizational collaboration tools to easily create, review and update descriptions.

8. Incorporate compliance needs: Ensure job documentation meets all the mandatory and other regulatory requirements.

Getting job analysis right has far-reaching impact across the employee lifecycle:

● Strategic workforce planning: The details help assess workforce capacity and identify skill gaps.

● Candidate screening: Job specs enable assessing if applicants have the required credentials and experience to shortlist.

● Interviewing and selection: Structured, standardized questions can be based on requirements in description.

● Onboarding/training: New hires understand role expectations right from day one. Learning is aligned to needs.

● Performance reviews: Measurable evaluation relies on key outputs and metrics captured in description.

● Succession planning: Required qualifications help identify and develop suitable internal candidates to fill critical roles.

● Compensation management: Job analysis enables pay to be competitive based on “going rate” for matching skill-sets and demands.

However, it is also important to choose the right platform to find experienced or fresher jobs. GradSiren is your destination if you are looking for IT jobs in India. The platform also provides you numerous opportunities for IT jobs in USA that fits your requirements.

Job analysis, descriptions and specifications provide the strong informational backbone for managing your human capital in alignment with organizational goals. Getting it right does demand diligence and collaboration across teams, but pays off manifold in building a productive, thriving workforce.

As per best practices, incorporate input from diverse stakeholders, use clear and concise language, integrate regular reviews and ensure consistency across roles. By laying this robust groundwork, organizations can make smart, ethical decisions in acquiring and supporting talent.

The Partnership Between Trainer & Client

When people contact me looking for help with their animals, they're not always aware of how private training works.  They have this fantastical notion that I will come in, reprogram their dog in one hour, leave, and everything will be all better.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

But it has nothing to do with how good of a trainer or behaviorist I am -- or anyone else is, for that matter.  It has everything to do with valuing the extraordinary intelligence of animals, their need for constant education, enrichment, activity, and bonding with the world around them.  It has been far too many decades that we, as a society, have allowed an incorrect, pervasive approach to dominate our treatment of animals and pets.

Let's start with the word dominance.  Studies have disproven the notion that our canine companions are out to be the leader, and the scientist who published the study to give us that impression recanted his findings.  This came from observation of 8 wolves. Not wild wolves, not a family of wolves, not dogs, and not wild dogs.  These wolves were all male, held in captivity, and this is how they sorted out that stressful living situation.  It does not apply to dogs, who have been selectively bred for millennia to please humans.  A different pack of wolves may have established a different set of rules.  It would be inhumane to find out.

In reality, dogs have varying degrees of priorities just like people do.  Some dogs are super excited to go on their walk and charge through the front door, some dogs love to snuggle and jump on all the furniture that has their humans' scent on it, some dogs adore mealtime and get pushy.  These are natural responses to a dog in drive.  They in no way indicate the dog is being alpha, dominant, or otherwise trying to upset the applecart.  Even dogs who resource guard their food bowl by freezing, snarling, or even biting aren't being alpha.  Resource guarding is a genetic survival mechanism leftover from wolves.  This is why some dogs, who have been neglected and are now emaciated, can never develop resource guarding; while other dogs, who have been provided for their whole lives, do develop resource guarding.

So where does training come in?  Trainers are there to teach the dog certain cues to help them fit into human society.  These cues can be patterned to be considered "good manners," or used as-needed for certain situations.  Behavior specialists can take it one notch further, and begin to help address issues such as reactivity, separation anxiety, hyperactivity, etc.  They are NOT behaviorists and should not be addressing the more serious behaviors.  Behavior consultants have been assessed by an organizing entity, so likely have considerably more training than a specialist (though not always, as animal training is not a regulated professional field in the US and such certifications are not legally required).  Behaviorists are rare, and include people like me who have gotten graduate degrees specifically in animal behavior, like animal psychologists/life coaches/counselors/therapists.  Veterinary behaviorists are more like the psychiatrists of the animal behavior world, they are the only ones who can prescribe medication (as can a general practice veterinarian).  I have worked in conjunction with veterinary behaviorists on several occasions.

So what is the owner's responsibility in all this?  It really comes down to 3 things:

The owner needs to make sure that the trainer they're working with, or whatever level behaviorist, follows a humane hierarchy, and focuses on 2 of the 4 quadrants of learning:  positive reinforcement and negative punishment.  Think of positive like add and negative like subtract, rather than good or bad.  Reinforcement means encourage a behavior to continue and punishment means stop a behavior from continuing.  In short, work with someone who puts a GREAT emphasis on positive reinforcement, adding a reward to encourage the correct behavior to continue.  What goes along with that process is removing something so the dog stops doing what you don't want anymore, negative punishment.  You never want to see a trainer add something to make the dog stop a behavior, such as a physical or verbal correction in the form of positive punishment; you also don't want to see a trainer primarily remove something to get a dog to continue a behavior, such as the stim from an e-collar in the form of negative reinforcement.  The flow of learning energy should be toward something good, not the removal of something unpleasant.

The owner should put these methods into practice as part of the everyday routine.  Just like us, if we stop practicing something, we get rusty -- so do our animals.  Dogs live with us, witness our daily lives and are involved with them to varying degrees.  Holding them accountable means we must do the same for ourselves.  If we only have guests over once a week and that's the only time we practice sit-to-greet, the dog will forget and will need a little help.  If one person is feeding the dog under the table, the dog will beg at mealtime.  Consistency is essential, but it is actually very easy to work into our daily lives if we just look at things a little bit differently and take a few extra minutes to include our dogs in the process.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "A tired dog is a good dog"? Well, there's a big misconception due to a popular TV show that "tired" refers primarily to physically tired, including walking extensively, using a backpack, or doing other highly draining cardio workouts.  While all dogs do need some degree of this, the danger is that we actually train them to become super athletes!  A tired dog that is a good dog is mentally fulfilled and drained.  Brain Drain is the name of the game.  Don't feed your dog out of a boring bowl, use a puzzle, or a slow feed bowl, or even better -- ditch the bowl entirely and use your dog's meals to train them!  It goes by so fast, usually just 5 minutes, but makes a HUGE improvement in behavior and relationship for dog and owner.  In addition, the best walk for a dog is the one where they get to use their nose.  Dogs have something like 400x the receptors that humans do, they can literally diagnose with their nose.  If you want a mentally enriching activity, you need look no further than your local park.  Critter trails made new daily, squirrel holes, bunny hides, bird nests, this is Disneyland for your dog.

If you'd like to discuss your dog's routine, please feel free to email me to setup a virtual consultation.  Mention this post and get 50% off.

Job specification is about defining the human requirements – the candidate profile with the skills, traits and experience needed to fulfill those duties.

Job specification details:

● Minimum or required educational qualifications

● Job-related certifications needed

● Hard skills and soft skills required

● Physical attributes like stamina if applicable

● Minimum years and type of experience desired

● Specialized knowledge needed

As part of job specification, you can also indicate “preferred but not required” qualifications to find candidates who may exceed expectations for the role.

The aim is to outline an optimal candidate profile that increases the chances of identifying the right people for long-term success in the job. Paired with the job description, the spec allows for informed hiring decisions based on merit rather than subjective impressions alone.

For example, part of a job spec for a sales manager role could be:

Required Qualification and Experience:

● Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration or relevant field

● Proven experience of 5+ years successfully managing corporate sales teams

● Demonstrated ability to coach and mentor junior sales resources

● Strong track record of achieving revenue targets in past roles

● Subject matter expertise and network in the technology industry

Preferred Qualifications:

● Master’s degree in Business or relevant certification

● Background working with partners/alliances programs

● International sales experience

Here are some key best practices to create accurate and impactful job analysis documentation:

1. Get input from diverse stakeholders: Speak with not just incumbents but their managers and internal customers to get a balanced perspective on the job.

2. Focus on the job, not person: Document only the role itself rather than capabilities of the current person in the job which could be subjective.

3. Use clear, concise language: Write descriptions suited not just for internal HR but also external candidates. Use common industry terminology.

4. Standardize key elements: Use consistent sections and structure across job docs for different roles to enable comparison.

5. Review and update regularly: Revisit docs as business needs evolve to ensure relevance. You can also build review cadence.

6. Collaborate with the compensation team: Align job analysis with pay scale considerations for competitive and fair compensation.

7. Leverage software tools: Use online templates and organizational collaboration tools to easily create, review and update descriptions.

8. Incorporate compliance needs: Ensure job documentation meets all the mandatory and other regulatory requirements.

● Candidate screening: Job specs enable assessing if applicants have the required credentials and experience to shortlist.

● Interviewing and selection: Structured, standardized questions can be based on requirements in description.

● Onboarding/training: New hires understand role expectations right from day one. Learning is aligned to needs.

● Performance reviews: Measurable evaluation relies on key outputs and metrics captured in description.

● Succession planning: Required qualifications help identify and develop suitable internal candidates to fill critical roles.

● Compensation management: Job analysis enables pay to be competitive based on “going rate” for matching skill-sets and demands.

However, it is also important to choose the right platform to find experienced or fresher jobs. GradSiren is your destination if you are looking for IT jobs in India. The platform also provides you numerous opportunities for IT jobs in USA that fits your requirements.

Job analysis, descriptions and specifications provide the strong informational backbone for managing your human capital in alignment with organizational goals. Getting it right does demand diligence and collaboration across teams, but pays off manifold in building a productive, thriving workforce.

As per best practices, incorporate input from diverse stakeholders, use clear and concise language, integrate regular reviews and ensure consistency across roles. By laying this robust groundwork, organizations can make smart, ethical decisions in acquiring and supporting talent.

Laity Unleashed

Hey Y'all! We're wrapping up our thoughts on Laity month! Let's jump right in.

First, welcome back after such a long month of travel! I know we all enjoyed Laity month and hearing the messages of those in the church. It takes a lot of courage to stand up and share such personal stories with people. Our last speaker was Gary Nebgen on June 25th. If you missed it, you can listen to his message titled, "My To Do List" here: https://fb.watch/lyBYhuiS75/

Did you happen to get a chance in all your traveling to tune in and listen to each message? 

I did! Due to scheduling, some I listened to afterward, but was absolutely blown away with each of the messages. I am nervous to be in the pulpit this Sunday after the high bar they have set!

Was there anything that stood out to you as being particularly insightful?

What I love best is how each speaker was able to lean on their own life experiences, often the most painful, and find God moving in and through that time and afterward. Just them getting up to speak about these experiences is a leap of faith and courage beyond what many can imagine. I know for me personally it wasn't until I began to preach/speak about my own relationship with my biological father that a deeper sense of healing took place. Getting in that pulpit and being vulnerable, transparent, and honest about God is such an amazing faith-forming experience. Every speaker took their lives and spoke about the glory of God in their lives, and that is what being a disciple is all about. We tend to want to go "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me," in our times of distress and deepest pain, but these speakers revealed that is quite the opposite. God is indeed with us all the time, ESPECIALLY in our times of trial and need. 

How do you, as a Pastor, go about equipping the laity for the call to times like these?

Simply ask! When pastors assume that people won't do it or are uncomfortable doing things like this, I find we stifle the spirit and create hurdles to grace. I learned early on in ministry, just ask! All they can do is say no. Creating more spaces like this is important and it allows people to heal, deepen their faith, and explore their own callings to ministry. I did meet with several of the speakers and we did a coaching-type session as well as helped them in their preparations. This is what ministry is all about, building each other up so we can all be more faithful followers of Jesus Christ. 

How do you decide who should share or who shouldn't? 

 I don't!!!!! God does that! When Candi and I spoke she was nervous about sharing too much or her message being too vulnerable or too deep for the congregation. I advised her not to hold back in any way. To just be open and honest with her experience, her feelings, and her relationship with God. I also told them all to just pray, God would help them decide what to share, how to share, and when to share, and from what I heard and saw God most certainly did. 

Is there specific criteria or is it volunteer?

This is a volunteer position. Laity Sunday is a tradition in our denomination celebrating the roots of Methodism which started and was driven by Lay people willing to go and fill in until a pastor could be present during the times of circuit riders. We did Laity Month because of my crazy schedule in June and also because I feel that Laity Sunday can be a little too short at times. I was very pleased with Laity Month. Outside of this, anyone can go through the certification process to become a Lay Speaker, which is a recognized position in the Annual Conference and larger denomination. This allows Lay Speakers to fill in for pastors at other churches who need to be out and struggle to find pulpit supply. 

How can we better equip ourselves for the call in the future?

 I think to be ready and be open to just diving in no matter how scary it is. When I first preached my first sermon my knees literally shook out of fear, and it was one of the most powerful and breathtaking moments of my entire life. Ministry, of any kind or sort, is scary, period! There is no getting around that. Ministry calls us to be vulnerable and faithful to levels we do not normally go to, but the trade-off is so very worth it when God does profound things in the lives of those around us and in our own lives. I hope and pray that these four speakers have shown that it is very ok and a good and joyful thing to do ministry. Get out there, take a leap of faith, do what your heart is tugging on you to do, and don't hold back. The disciples, those of the Old Testament and New Testament, the early church, the great theologians, and John Wesley, all started exactly where you sit every Sunday; in a pew! What brought them out of the pew and to go and do extraordinary things was their willingness to listen to the Holy Spirit and simply go and do what God was asking of them. A wonderful phrase I tell people often and have leaned on so much in my own ministry is this: "God does not call the equipped, but God equips the called!" Listen to where God is calling you, Go and chase that calling with no hesitation, and let God equip you along the way!

Wow, it really doesn't get any simpler than that does it? This whole month; this whole experience of laity month was very inspiring. it reminds me of song lyrics:

"There's some things that I don't like to talk about

There's some things that I'd rather keep underground

Behind my smile, my words - I hide, I hurt

There's some things that I don't like to talk about

I framed my whole life through a perfect filter

It's time for me to paint a different picture

'Cause when we get real with each other

And we share our broken hearts

When we pick up the pieces together

That's when the real love starts

Our past, our pain

We're more the same

Loved by our Heavenly Father

That's truly who we are

I don't give my trust away easily

Don't like to show the worst parts of me

I'm not alone

I know we both

Don't give our trust away easily

'Cause when we get real with each other

And we share our broken hearts

When we pick up the pieces together

That's when the real love starts

Our past, our pain

We're more the same

Loved by our Heavenly Father

That's truly who we are"

Who We Are by Courtnie Ramirez

That's exactly it. We're all touched by things we would rather not talk about, but when we share those things we come to find out that those stories, those pains... they help lift others up from whatever dark spot they may be sitting in sometimes. The sharing offers a hand to someone else that you didn't know needed it and it becomes this beautiful thing.

Thank you to each one of you who shared your personal stories and testimonies this last month. You gave everyone an opportunity to know you better, but you also gave some hurting people an opportunity to feel less alone in their pain, whether anyone came out and expressed that to you or not.

Hopefully we'll be back on time this Friday with a blog about the message you just heard yesterday! So, if you have any questions, or comments, be sure to get those to me and I will ask them for you! Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July!

Top Overseas Recruitment Agencies in Mumbai: Your Path to Global Jobs

Sudershan Chakra stands out for its commitment to nurturing future defense officers through excellence in SSB coaching.

1. Indian Army

The Indian Army is responsible for safeguarding the nation's borders on land. As one of the largest standing armies in the world, it provides numerous opportunities for individuals to join as officers through various entry schemes.

Entrance Exams for the Indian Army

NDA (National Defence Academy): For candidates who have completed their 10+2, this is one of the most popular ways to join the Indian Army as an officer. The NDA exam is conducted twice a year by UPSC (Union Public Service Commission), and successful candidates undergo training at the National Defence Academy, Pune.

CDS (Combined Defence Services): Graduates can apply through the CDS exam, which is also conducted by the UPSC twice a year. After clearing this exam, candidates are selected for training at the Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun.

Technical Entry Scheme (TES): Candidates who have completed their 10+2 with a focus on science and have a particular interest in engineering can apply for the TES scheme.

Army Medical Corps: Medical graduates (MBBS or higher) can apply to join the Army as officers in the medical branch.

2. Indian Air Force

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is responsible for securing the nation's airspace. It offers numerous opportunities for those aspiring to become officers, including flying and technical roles.

Entrance Exams for the Indian Air Force

NDA (Air Force Wing): Candidates can opt for the Air Force through the NDA exam after completing their 10+2.

AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test): This exam is specifically conducted by the Indian Air Force to recruit candidates for Flying Branch, Technical Branch, and Ground Duty Branches. AFCAT is held twice a year.

CDS (Air Force Wing): Graduates can apply for the IAF through the CDS exam. The successful candidates undergo training at the Air Force Academy in Hyderabad.

3. Indian Navy

The Indian Navy plays a vital role in securing the maritime borders of the nation. The Navy provides opportunities in both executive and technical branches.

CDS (Naval Wing): Graduates aiming to join the Indian Navy can apply through the CDS exam and undergo training at the Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala.

INET (Indian Navy Entrance Test): A separate entrance test for the Indian Navy, INET recruits for both permanent and short service commission.

Navy B.Tech Entry Scheme: Candidates who have passed their 10+2 with physics, chemistry, and mathematics and have appeared for the JEE Mains exam can apply for a technical role through this scheme.

NCC Special Entry: Similar to the Air Force, the Indian Navy also allows candidates with an NCC certificate to apply for officer posts.

Why SSB is Important for Selection

The SSB (Services Selection Board) is the final and most crucial phase of selection for all branches of the armed forces. After clearing the written exams like NDA, CDS, or AFCAT, candidates are called for the SSB interview, which lasts for 5 to 6 days.

Purpose of the SSB

The SSB evaluates a candidate’s OLQs (Officer Like Qualities), such as leadership, decision-making ability, communication skills, physical fitness, and psychological robustness. The interview process involves:

Screening Tests: To assess intelligence and problem-solving skills.

Psychological Tests: Evaluating a candidate's mental stability and reaction to stress.

Group Tasks: To observe leadership, teamwork, and situational handling abilities.

Personal Interview: To gauge the candidate’s clarity of thought, confidence, and motivation.

Conference: A final round where a board of officers decides whether the candidate is fit for selection.

The SSB is crucial because it ensures that only those with the right combination of physical, mental, and emotional capabilities are selected for officer training. While the written exams assess knowledge and academic proficiency, the SSB ensures that candidates possess qualities required for handling the challenges of a military career.

Essential Points for Candidates Interested in Officer Positions

Stay Physically Fit: Physical fitness is vital for a successful career in the armed forces. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and practicing endurance-building activities are essential for all aspiring officers.

Work on Communication Skills: As an officer, effective communication is key. Practice clear and confident speaking, along with the ability to articulate thoughts coherently.

Prepare for Group Tasks: Teamwork is a core aspect of military life. The SSB focuses heavily on how candidates work in groups, making it essential to improve leadership and cooperation skills.

Maintain a Positive Attitude: The SSB tests mental toughness and how you respond to difficult situations. Develop a positive outlook and learn to handle stress effectively.

Learn Current Affairs and General Knowledge: Officers need to stay informed about national and international events. Reading newspapers, watching the news, and staying updated on current affairs is crucial for written exams and interviews.

Self-Reflection is Key: The SSB focuses a lot on your psychology. Be honest with yourself and work on personal development. Confidence, humility, and self-awareness are key traits for officer roles.

Practice Mock Interviews: To perform well in the personal interview at the SSB, practice mock interviews and group discussions to build confidence.

Consistency and Dedication: Joining the armed forces requires consistency in efforts. Whether it’s studying for written exams or preparing for the SSB, dedication is essential.

Conclusion

Becoming an officer in the Indian Army, Air Force, or Navy is a prestigious career choice. The process involves clearing competitive exams like NDA, CDS, AFCAT, or INET, followed by the SSB, which is a comprehensive assessment of a candidate’s abilities. Each branch offers unique roles, but the core requirement remains the same—officer-like qualities, physical fitness, and mental robustness. Candidates aspiring to serve their nation must prepare diligently, focusing on both academic and personal development.

Learning CPR Courses Winnipeg - Lifesaving Training Winnipeg

  Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an essential life-saving technique that everyone should know. Being trained in CPR allows you to act quickly and decisively if someone goes into cardiac arrest, helping to save their life before emergency responders arrive. Luckily, there are many options for CPR courses and training available right here in Winnipeg. Whether you need CPR Courses Winnipeg for work or just want to be prepared to help in an emergency, signing up for a class can give you the skills and confidence to make a difference.

Why CPR Training Matters

Knowing CPR can mean the difference between life and death for someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Their heart stops beating properly, and they are unable to breathe - every minute that CPR and defibrillation are delayed decreases their chance of survival by 7-10%. Most people who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest do not receive any bystander CPR, drastically reducing their odds.

When you get trained in CPR, you have the power to change that statistic and be the one to act in those critical first moments until help can arrive. Practicing on mannequins allows you to build muscle memory so you can step in instinctively if needed. Plus, being CPR Courses Winnipeg meets job requirements for many healthcare professionals, lifeguards, teachers, childcare workers, and more.

Choose From a Variety of Course Options

Luckily Winnipeg offers many options when it comes to CPR Training Winnipeg, from basic courses for the general public to healthcare provider certification. Here is an overview of some top providers offering classes in Winnipeg and surrounding areas:

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service

Offers CPR/AED certification courses for adult, child and infant CPR

Weeknight or Saturday sessions available at convenience fire halls

Red Cross Training Partners

Comprehensive training in different levels of CPR/AED, first aid kit Winnipeg, swimming safety

Official Red Cross certification upon completion

Custom classes available for workplace groups

CPR Winnipeg

Specializes solely in CPR Training Winnipeg for all ages and skill levels

Flexible class options include weeknight, Saturday and private sessions

Access Support Services

CPR courses offered monthly along with first aid and other programs

Taught by experienced paramedics and nurses

Healthcare provider level certifications

What Will You Learn?

While specific class components vary slightly between providers, in general you can expect CPR Courses Winnipeg to include instruction in:

Understanding the chain of survival and actions to take in an emergency

Checking for consciousness/normal breathing

Calling for emergency help

Proper hand placement and compression technique

Using pocket masks or bags for rescue breaths

Operating an automated external defibrillator (AED)

Safely moving a person into recovery position

Special considerations for infants, children and pregnant women

Debriefing emergency response steps

Staying up to date with the latest research and guidelines, most courses now teach compression-only CPR for adult cardiac arrest. Practice time will let you work on providing high-quality chest compressions to circulate oxygenated blood until advanced help can take over or the person begins breathing again. For infants and children, a combination of compressions and breaths is still recommended. Expect hands-on training with mannequins during in-person classes.

Why Choose In-Person vs Online Training?

While online CPR Courses Winnipeg is convenient, in-person training offers significant benefits for building practical skills. The ability to ask questions and get coaching from an instructor in real-time can improve technique. You also gain confidence responding to realistic emergency scenarios using training mannequins.

However, reputable online courses do allow you to work through the cognitive learning at your own pace and provide videos modelling proper CPR form. Hybrid courses with online theory and in-person skills sessions are another option to look for.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Course
