CSULB — assistant professor sociology w a specialty in latine communities
This is a job that is currently open at the University. I would be open to this job because I am familiar with the campus and soon enough I would be familiar with the Sociology Department. In addition, my research interest or specialty has not been decided yet but I have an interest in Latine communities as of right now.
I would be a valuable asset to the CSULB faculty because I know my way around technology, and I know how to communicate with students. As a faculty member at a university, it is imperative to be able to communicate with your students in order to familiarize yourself with their environment. That said, I would make sure everyone was heard. Also, I could skip the campus tour, it would save everyone some time.
UCSD — occasional non-tenure track lecturer
I would take this job opportunity to further my experience in teaching and lecturing. I am somewhat familiar with the UCSD campus, and I know some people there. That said, I would be comfortable in the environment from the beginning. It is essential for the environment to be comforting in order to perform well.
I would be a valuable asset to the UCSD department of sociology because I am passionate about the topic and my research interest and that would show through my work. I adapt quickly to new environments and I am a fast learner which would benefit me and my students.
Cedars Sinai- social worker
Cedars Sinai is a well known hospital in Los Angeles. This is a popular job in the sociology major realm but it is not one that interests me much. Helping in any way I could is definitely something that is super important for me but I don’t like hospitals. I could change my mind eventually but as of now its not something I see myself doing.
I would be a valuable asset to Cedars Sinai because I am a fast learner and I am determined. Employees have previously said how intense and challenging the obstacles they face are and while I know my job may be different than theirs, I am always up for a challenge, and I would alway exhaust my resources to do the best of my ability.

A website for me would help me set myself up for the long years of research and articles. My website would be a way to build connections, a common ground where everyone could see my work and my research interests. For now and in the near future, a website could help me in finding internships and appear more serious/ professional. For far down the line, a website could help me organize my articles and any other publishings that I could have. As the years come, I could always add onto my website and build from now.
