Writing Begins With Research

By Franklin Skribbit


When you are getting a finance education in your undergraduate career, it is important that you know how you are going to get your first job. There are a lot of people that do not realize how difficult it can be to get their first job even though they have a finance education.

First, you should be sure that you understand that you are going to need to be patient. When you are working with the older generation of individuals, you have to be wise about the way that you are going to react when your client is moving slow or does not understand you.

Being patient throughout the time that you are working in gerontology is absolutely necessary. Do not be afraid to shadow a gerontologist or even take time to intern in the field so you can be sure that you are going to be well suited for your career.

Second, you should make sure that you take time to start noticing the ageism of the society around you and the people around you. Understanding what older people are dealing with in society can be a great way for you to be more effective while working with them.

Second, although it may seem a little excessive you want to start getting ready for applying and getting your dream job as early as possible. The summer before you start college, look for an internship in the field that you are interested in.

There is no getting around it, conducting research is laborious work. This does not mean that it cannot be enjoyable, but it does mean that individuals performing research should be prepared for long hours and dogged determination.

Some people worry that they are not adequately qualified for an internship, but internships rarely require much experience. Starting at an entry level internship will help you get references, networking opportunities and even connections for future jobs.

Third, you will need to make sure that you are able to react to emergency situations with a sense of calmness and effectiveness. You should be sure that you understand how you are going to deal with health emergencies or even emotional emergencies when you are faced with them.

Working as a gerontologist can be a great way to ensure that you are going to have job security throughout your time in the work force. You should be sure that you do what you need to do to keep your resume up to date and keep your certifications up to date.

By doing this, you can be sure that you are able to work with the baby boomers as they age. If gerontology is something that is interesting or intriguing to you, take the time that you need to get into a gerontology program and get the education that you need to be qualified as a gerontologist.
