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.
