3S0X1 Air Force Personnel Specialist

3S0X1 Air Force Personnel Specialist3S0X1 Air Force Personnel SpecialistA personnel specialist in the Air Force is like the human resources manager at a civilian company. They counsel airmen on their career goals, advising on things like promotions, training programs, and job specialties. Personnel specialists are also tasked with managing the Air Forces retention programs and advising airmen on benefits programs. Theyre responsible for making sure the Air Force is in compliance with personnel policies, directives, and procedures. Although the duties are similar to those of a civilian HR manager, there are many functions of this job which are uniquely military. Personnel specialists oversee a wide array of administrative functions such as duty status changes, leave programs, casualty assistance, and official documents such as letters of reprimand. In short, if a matter seems like a human resources function within the Air Force, chances are it falls under the duties of the personnel s pecialist. Duties and Responsibilities Personnel specialists in the Air Force are, in many ways, much like their counterparts in Army career counseling and Marine career planning. The Air Force personnel specialist acts as a kind of high school guidance counselor, only on a much larger scale. Air Force personnel specialists seem to combine the role of a counselor with that of basic administration, which is usually a separate career field in other branches of the service. Unlike career counselors in the Army, Navy, or Marines, who are often the only person in their career field stationed at a given unit, personnel specialists are more likely to work in large teams, sharing and dividing different specialized duties. Requirements Unlike career counselors in sister services, Air Force personnel specialists can join at entry-level provided they are high school graduates. The Enlisted Classification Manual adds that courses in English composition and speech are desirable. The Air Force recruiting site also suggests that, although not required, interest or skill in business, art, education, or logistics may indicate a good fit for the 3S0X1 career field. Candidates also need a qualifying score on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) before enlisting, with a score of 45 on the verbal ausprgung (VE) segment of the test. They need the ability to speak distinctly and should be able to type at least 25 words per minute to graduate to apprentice level after technical training. Training After eight and a half weeks of Air Force basic training, new airmen assigned to the personnel specialty move to Keesler Air Force Base in Mississippi, where they attend the basic personnel course for about a month. While there, students are part of the 81st Training Group 404, which oversees aprogram for over 13 different career fields and where on a given day, more than 5,000 students attend classes in one of over 600 courses. Personnel specialists can combine their training and experience with off-duty education to earn a degree in Human Resource Management from the Community College of the Air Force.

How to Deal With Negative People at Work

How to Deal With Negative People at WorkHow to Deal With Negative People at WorkSome people exude negativity. They dont like their jobs or they dont like their company. Their bosses are always jerks and they are always treated unfairly. The company is always going down the tube and customers are worthless. You know ansicht negative Neds and Nellies- every organization has some- and you can best address their impact on you by avoiding them. You have no reason to hang around with negative people and its a fact that their negativity is contagious. Hang with negative people and you may become negative, too. Why go there? Your career and job should bring you joy- elend sorrow and negativity. On the other hand, sometimes normally positive people are negative. Some of the time, too, their reasons for negativity are legitimate. You will take a completely different tack with these occasionally negative people. The following tips provide advice about how you can deal with both of these varieti es of negative people. You need to approach them differently and sometimes, you may need help addressing their impact on you and your workplace. Tips for Dealing With Occasional Negative People Listen to the employee or coworkers complaints until you are certain that they feel heard out and listened to. Sometimes people repeat negative sentiments over and over because they dont feel like you have really listened to them. Ask questions. Clarify their statements. Make sure that you have actively listened. Decide if you believe the employee or coworker has legitimate reasons for their negativity. If you decide affirmatively, ask if theyd like your help to solve the problem. If they ask for help, provide advice or ideas for how the coworker can address the reason for their negativity. Short-term advice that points a person in a positive direction is welcome. But, your role is not to provide therapy or counseling. Nor is your role to provide comprehensive career advice or long-term r ecommendations. Point the coworker to helpful books, seminars, or the Human Resources Department to solve their problem. Know your limits when advising coworkers. Sometimes, the coworker just wants to complain to a friendly, listening ear they dont want your advice or assistance to address the situation. Listen, but set limits so the coworker does not overstay or over-talk his or her welcome. Long-term complaining saps your energy and positive outlook. Dont allow that to happen. Walk away. Tell the coworker youd prefer to move on to more positive subjects. Tell the coworker that their complaining affects how you feel about your job and your workplace- and not in a good way. If you are frank, hopefully, the negative person will stop complaining or unfortunately, probably target a less straightforward employee. If you see this happening, you might want to head to your HR manager to let him in on what is happening. He may address the problem to create a more harmonious workplace. If yo u listen to the coworkers negativity and decide their concerns are not legitimate, practice personal and professional courage and tell them what you think. Tell the coworker you care about their concern and about their happiness at work, but you disagree with their assessment of the situation. You do not, for example, agree that management lied or withheld information improperly to mislead staff. You believe that the information was provided as soon as it was available. Back gracefully out of additional conversations. The coworker will attempt to appeal to your sympathetic nature, but if you believe the negativity is unwarranted, dont spend your time listening or helping the coworker to address the negative feelings. You will only encourage long-term and ever-growing negative feelings and, potentially, behavior. You will set yourself up as a negativity magnet. Constant negative interactions will eventually permeate your interaction with your workplace. You could become a ?negative p erson, too. Tips for Dealing With Regularly Negative People Deal with genuinely negative people by spending as little time with them as possible. Just as you set limits with the coworkers whose negativity you believe is baseless or unwarranted, you need to set limits with genuinely negative people. Causes of their long-term negativity are not your concern. Every negative person has a story. Dont impact your positive outlook by listening to the stories, or reviewing the history and the background about the grievances purported to cause the negativity. Youll reinforce the negativity negativity is a choice. Negativity mongers need a new job, a new company, a new career, a new outlook, a new life or counseling. They dont need you to help them wallow in their self-serving despair. Dont go there- its not good for you, for them or the organization that you serve. Deal with perpetually negative people in these ways. Avoid spending time with a negative coworker. For all of the reasons ci ted, you want to limit the amount of time you spend with them.If you are forced, through your role in the company, to work with a negative person, set limits. Do not allow yourself to become drawn into negative discussions. Tell the negative coworker, you prefer to think about your job positively. Avoid providing a sympathetic audience for the negativity.Suggest the negative person seek assistance from menschengerecht resources or their manager. Try to steer the person in the direction of getting help with their negativity. If all else fails, talk to your own manager or human resources staff about the challenges you are experiencing in dealing with the negative person. Your manager may have ideas, may be willing to address the negativity, and may address the issue with the negative persons manager.Remember, persistent negativity that impacts the work and environment of coworkers is a work behavior that may require disciplinary actionup to and including employment termination. If neg ativity among employees in your company is persistent, if the issues that warrant negativityare left unaddressed, and the negativity affects your ability to professionally perform your work, you may want to consider moving on. Your current culture will not support your desired work environment. And, if no one is working to improve a work culture that enables negativity, dont expect the culture to change anytime soon. Move on.

How A Career Change Can Turn Your Life Around

How A Career Change Can Turn Your Life Around How A Career Change Can Turn Your Life AroundPosted July 25, 2016, by Vivien LuuFeeling stuck in your job? Hating life? Weve all been there. But how many of us have the guts to actually make a dramatic change?Rhianna Bridgett remembers the precise moment when she decided that enough was enough, and she wasnt going to put up with a job she hated anymore.I was driving home after working eight days straight of 12-hour shifts. I was sad and unhappy, she recalls.As a supervisor in a serviced apartment chain, Rhianna spent most of her days dealing with unhappy customers, and the constant confrontations were taking their toll.I ended up feeling physically sick at the thought of going to work every day... and I asked myself can you really landsee yourself doing this for the rest of your life?That 20-minute drive home completely changed her life.Rhianna went to work the next day and resigned immediately.I made the decision then and there to go bac k to school, and make a change for myself, says the 27-year-old who is now a qualified myotherapist and working as Head Trainer with the AFLs Western Bulldogs.So how did she get there?Like anything, especially a career change, things didnt happen overnight. And perhaps the biggest hurdle (as it is for most of us) is often deciding what exactly you want to do with your life.For Rhianna, the idea of pursuing a career in massage came out of a conversation with her mum, who reminded Rhianna how much she used to enjoy giving shoulder and neck massages as a young child.To be honest I didnt really think you could make a successful career out of massage, Rhianna says, but she rolled the dice and enrolled in a Certificate IV in Massage Therapy Practice.This quickly turned into enrolling in a Diploma in Remedial Massage, and a few years later Rhianna did something she never thought she would do enrol to study at university.Enrolling at Endeavour was a big deal, Rhianna says, I was the first person in my family to go to uni, let alone successfully obtain a degree.She was drawn to the high voreingestellts Endeavour College of Natural Health had after watching her supervisor work, and realising this was the calibre she wanted to aim for.Enjoying what she did, however, didnt alleviate any of her fears when it came to uni life.It was definitely a little bit nerve-racking. I had been told numerous times growing up that Id never be smart enough to go to uni, Rhianna recalls. I felt a lot of fear because I had only studied at TAFE level, and I was unsure that I was up to the standard of a degree.But once she got to Endeavour College of Natural Health, her anxiety slowly disappeared thanks to a combination of the hands-on training, the lecturers and the nurturing classroom environment.Since graduating and finishing the Bachelor of Health Science (Musculoskeletal Therapy) now known as the Bachelor of Health Science (Myotherapy) Rhianna has forged a successfuly career as a myot herapist and is now in her third season as Head Trainer for the Western Bulldogs VFL division, and also works at a physiotherapy clinic in Melbourne.My role with the Bulldogs sees me work closely with the teams physiotherapists and doctors and managing other trainers to ensure the players have all the support they need to flourish on the field.Shes finally in an industry she loves, and now does work that she finds both meaningful and fulfilling.The thing I find most satisfying about my job is seeing the results of my clients and helping people who come in with extreme or chronic pain, Rhianna says enthusiastically. And its not just about being able to change their physical status, but their mental status as well.When asked what her drives home from work are like these days she said, I feel happy, content, satisfied and grateful that I have found my calling in life ResourcesMy first resumeCover letter for my first jobCareer Insider StoriesShelley Lask - Body Positive Health & Fitness Interested in becoming a?Human Resources OfficerGeneral ManagerBusiness ManagerAccountantOffice AdministratorPopular Career Searcheshow to get cpaapprentice chef wageseco social workoperations manager job descriptiongraphic designer job description CoursesBachelor of Social WorkEnquire angeschlossen Enquire OnlineCertificate III in Health AdministrationEnquire Online Enquire OnlineBachelor of Criminal JusticeEnquire Online Enquire OnlineCertificate III in Allied Health AssistanceEnquire Online Enquire Online Vivien LuuViv is a writer who enjoys researching and writing about creativity, how the human mind works, and neuro processes.
