Fiance

Hello my name is Matthew and I'm currently working as an Accountant. Since an early age I was able to manage money. My friends often came for my help when they wanted to save money to buy a certain game. Firstly, math was the easiest topic and the most enthusiastic subject in my case. I had no problems in that subject and I just loved working with numbers because I liked the feeling of making my brain go to work and think about possible situations. I could only understand elements as long as it was logic. I never had problems working in groups or by myself. Both ways, I was comfortable and was able to do the work properly. This helped me later on when I had to interact with clients in order to help them with their needs. I worked better as long I could see the problem/ work on a piece of paper. My brother would always nickname me “Smarty Pants” since I was a nerd in school. I was also very good with computers and any other kind of technology.

Now today my work involves counting with money, working with it and trying to help people who are soon to be in debt or are trying to get a better life style by trying to save money and not spending it all on useless furniture or clothing.

Education and Training

  

           Hey everyone, my name is Britney and I'm currently studying to be a librarian. As a teenager I spent most of my spare time reading novels. You could say I was a book worm. I wasn't the type of person who'd go partying or go do things with friends on a daily basis. I preferred being alone in my own bubble since I liked doing things on my own. I always loved helping people with whatever they needed. As a kid I also spent a lot of my time helping out in charities. I was always an organized person, very neat and had really good grades in school. My favorite subject was English since I loved literature and as grew older, I became really good with words. As a teenager I was pretty bad in any sport I played  and basically made a fool of myself everytime

         When it came time to choose a career, I had nothing in mind. But whenever I was in a library I felt comfortable, safe and felt like I belonged. That's how I came to the decision to become a librarian. Being a librarian might seem easy but it isn't. I have a lot of responsibilities. For example, I have to manage the planning of administrative and budgetary functions of the library and information services. I have to organize the books/novels and replaced them in the bookshelves after they've been taken out and brought back. Basically I'm making sure the library runs well

Architecture and Construction

     Hey, my name is Robert but everyone calls me Bob. In high school, I was very good in math which actually helped me become a carpenter. I understood subjects more when I was able to use my hands. This is basically known as tactile learning. I used to ace the woodworking class and I was the best builder. This came easy to me since as a child my father, who worked in construction, would always bring me along whenever he could on the job site. He's the one who taught me how to build and repair things. When I was seventeen, I got my first car but I could only afford a broken down automobile so I had to repair it to make it run. My father and I made it our goal to finish the repairs together as a way to spend time together. I always treasured those moments since these types of activities brought my father and I even closer. I loved my dad for that. I was never the guy who was outgoing and able to speak to any stranger. I was the one who was reserved and felt more comfortable working alone which is still the case today.

     As a carpenter, my job is to build, construct or repair any piece of furniture. I usually work alone which in my case, makes the job go faster. There are certain times I'm in an environment that exposes me to bad conditions, horrible smells, heights, difficult people etc. But I know I have to deal with this without complaint. After lifting heavy objects often my back gets sore. My job entails taking measurements, being able to follow instructions (if there are any) and being able to get along with others whether I am working with them or for them.

Business, Management and Administration

Hello my name is Frederic. I'm currently a sales manager in an real estate office. Since a young age, I was really good at convincing people to buy me whatever I wanted. Every time I saw a toy I wanted, I pled to my mother to get it for me. She'd always say no at first. But in the end she'd give in after I used my magic negotiating skills (my mother's words) on her. As I grew up, that skill became very useful when I was selling things to people. To sell an object I used persuasive speech giving my opinion and judgement to clinch a deal. At garage sales, I'd have my small section with the junk I wanted to get rid of and every time someone would come and take a peek they left with an object that I had just sold to them. Often at the end of the day, my table would be empty and my pockets full of cash. My mom’s table was not as successful.

I always loved to engage in a conversation with a complete stranger and talk about anything that came to mind. I was never shy since my goal was to succeed and be happy by using a positive attitude. My father always said I was a determined young boy and an overachiever.

My first job, I worked in an electronics store and I was the new kid who was able to sell whatever a client wanted or needed. My boss was very impressed and suggested that I start a career in business since he believed I'd have the potential to become a successful business man. I followed his advice and I went to college to get my business degree.

The business I work for is striving. I recently got promoted to manager. I manage the sales of products and services for my company. I have to identify objectives, strategies, and action plans to improve any short or long term sales and earnings I make sure the sales are constant and profitable by planning deployment and management of sales personnel.

Arts, AV Tecgnology and Commubications

Hey everyone!!!!

My name is Tiffany and I come from Ontario Canada. I'm currently an actress looking for a big break to bring me to Hollywood. Acting may seem to be an easy job but in truth, acting is difficult. The only way to be good is to be outgoing and not scared of making a fool of yourself and being able to get along with your peers (being people smart). Since this could affect your performance and the mood between you and your coworkers. Trust me I have the experience and its better when everyone is friendly.

Since I was 14, I started taking acting lessons and having drama classes at school. I learned the basics into becoming a actress which is how to interpret and analyse a character from a script and acting like them. At first it was pretty hard but after awhile I got the hang of it. The first thing I did to do to start my career was to find myself an agent. My agent is responsible to notifiy me whenever an audition for a tv show or film comes up. Acting is like a compeitition; the best man wins.

Every time I received a script, I had to study it and my character. The hard part was to  memorise the lines of the script and rehearse them. The movements also have to be practiced. I learned that it is easier to dicuss the script and your character with the director and the other actors your working with in order to have a better feel of what your about to act out in front of a camera that will be seen by a big audience.

 

The working conditions are both positive and negative in my opinion. When filming, I had to be available for long hours which sometimes included my evenings and weekends. But one thing that isn't great is that I sometimes go without work for a long period of time. This affects my pay check since the salary I get is based on the number of films, tv shows I did.

 

Agriculture, Food and Natural Ressources

        Hello my name is Jack Newman; I'm currently 25 years old. Since my early childhood I've dreamt about owning my own farm and running it. As a child, my parents would send me to my grandparent’s farm every summer. I became a custom to taking care of the cows after my grandmother taught me everything in that area. Furthermore, I learned to work with heavy machinery and cultivating the land. Farming became one of my greatest passions in life and when my grandfather finally passed down the ownership of his farm down to me I was jumping for joy.

 

        Being a farmer holds many responsibilities and requires a lot of time. As an owner, my main objective is to maintain a good production. But production has a lot of requirements for it to be successful. First of all, I have to own a huge amount of land that is required to produce crops (plant, cultivate, harvest). When the harvest season reaches its peak I have to be ready to work longer hours than usual and in any kind of weather even though it’s storming outside. Second, the livestock that I own must be taken care of (fed, cleaning their stalls, etc...). This is a twenty-four hour, seven days a week engagement. Third, I need machinery to work on my farm since it makes my  job easier. My workers who operate these machines take in mind the dangers that may follow when the machine is in use.

        When production is ready, my agricultural products (type of food, dairy products, etc…) are sold to the market. As owner I have to prepare the cost and write the records down. But running a farm is nearly impossible without the help of my workers. They are the reason why my farm is still running today. To hire someone I'm responsible to train them or give the task to an experienced worker. I supervise everything going on, on my farm making sure everything goes well.

        Many people have asked me what my average salary of being a farmer is. The answer to this varies. If you own a very small farm that isn't very successful you may earn around 50K or less. But if your farm is very successful and really big, the salary could be really high compared to other jobs.

        Working on a farm requires no type of experience but if you want to be an owner like me, you have to go to college in the agricultural department for a couple of years,  in order to learn better techniques of running a farm and growing crops. You have to be logic smart, body smart, self smart and nature smart to be a farmer since they have to be independant just like me.
