Work-Study Training Session for Spring Semester, 2015 Academic Year

Translated by Kai-Ping Fang
Senior psychologist Chang Hsin-I from the TCU Counseling Center, and Service-Learning Section chief Chen Chien-Chih were invited as guest speakers for the pre-work-study training session.

此次工讀訓練邀請到了校內諮商中心資深心理師-張欣怡老師，以及服務學習組組長-陳建智老師來為同學進行工讀前的教育訓練。

Chang began her session with a video clip, titled “Recognition from Understanding”. It portrays a medical student passionate in painting, and how he would indicate the intended symptoms, dosage, and time with simple illustrations on the exterior of the drug packaging for her illiterate grandmother. These illustrations are everywhere to remind his grandmother on what to do and when. One day, Grandma asked her grandson, “what do you want to do when you graduate?” “Be a doctor,” he replied. “What if you are not a doctor? Doctors are always busy, would you have time to draw?” Grandma asked. “Even if you are not a doctor, other doctors would give me drugs. But without your drawings, I would not understand when and how to take them.” Even though Grandma was illiterate, she saw things clearer than anyone else. During our study, very often we become confused as to what we can do, or what else I can be aside from the intended course. Chang used Egogram on the students so that they could have a chance to comprehend their own personality, and by understanding oneself, the list of appropriate job selections that are best suited.
欣怡心理師先撥放了一段影片：「從瞭解中肯定自己」，影片講述一位喜歡畫畫的醫學系同學，因為外婆看不懂字，同學會在藥袋上畫上治療部位的圖案讓外婆簡單的知道什麼藥要在什麼時候吃；家中到處都有淺顯易懂的圖提醒外婆，而某天外婆問起孫子，畢業想當什麼？孫子回答：當醫生。外婆又問，那沒做醫生想做什麼呢？做醫生很忙欸，這樣你有時間畫圖嗎？外婆說：你如果沒做醫生，別的醫生也會開藥給我，但你沒有畫圖，我就什麼都看不懂了。外婆雖然不識字，卻看得比誰都清楚。在求學的過程中，常常會有不知道自己能夠做什麼，或是除了這個我還能做什麼的想法。欣怡心理師也藉由EGO GRAM 測驗讓同學了解自我心理狀態，了解自己之後可以知道自己適合什麼樣子的工作，讓同學在職場上能更得心應手。

“Every job, every service, is an opportunity,” said Chen, the service-learning section chief. Students participate in work-study not only to earn their expenses, but to expand their campus life experiences and to learn one’s demeanors at work and toward others. Work is only significant with commitment. Commitment offers meaning to life and work. Chen spoke of many examples a working student may face in their line of work: students working in the service-learning section are required to wear an ID tag, dressed in school uniform, and greet faculty and staff respectfully. As a working student, Chen emphasized, you are no longer representing yourself, but the unit you are working in, as well as the University in general. There are also much to learn regarding phone etiquette, Chen elaborated. He hopes that every student can learn to listen to their heart, and in turn transform that self-understanding into passion and strength at workplace.
建智老師說：每一個工作，每一項服務，都是機會與緣分。同學在校內參與工讀，不僅僅只是為了賺取生活費，更是擴大校園的生活經驗，學習做人的態度及做事的方法；工作，要有承諾才有意義，承諾可以使人的生活及工作充滿意義。建智老師提了很多工讀生工作上會遇到的案例，例如：在服務學習組工讀的同學都被要求須佩戴識別證、穿著學校制服，遇到師長學習而習慣自動打招呼，因為身為一名工讀生，工作中已經不僅僅只是代表自己，還代表了服務的單位以及慈濟大學。而在電話接聽的禮儀上也有許多要注意與學習的地方；建智老師希望各位同學都能學習傾聽自己內心的聲音，學習發揮自己在職場上的熱情與潛力。
