Human Services

Hello my name is Denise,

I work as an event specialist or what people might say as a party organizer. It is my job to help people with anything they desire when it regards to organizing an event whether it is for parties, assemblies, meetings, etc... In this industry, it is required to be very organised which was never a problem for me as a child. I hated it when things were messy or didn't go my way. I always got things done even though I thought it was impossible or too difficult to accomplish. To be an event planner it is required to have social skills when it comes to talking with clients with their needs since thats basically what you do in a daily basis. If you're incapable of getting your point through to people or your too shy this isn't the job for you. You have to feel comfortable working in teams. In school I used to be a great leader in every project done. I loved to take charge and hand out the roles to my teammates that regard their abilities. I am very good with words and math. I became an event planner because I always thought it would be a career that would never become boring and that I would always work with something newwhich would make it exciting. I love planning events with different themes. I just knew from the start that this was the career for me from a very young age. I was determined to go through school, finish my studies and finally making my own business after a couple years of experience.

Hospitality and Tourism

Hello my name is Sara,

      I'm currently working as a part time waitress. It has been around two years I have worked in this domain while going to college, studying in the business industry. I usually get generous tips whenever I serve people. My mother always advised me to keep a nice smile when I'm interacting with clients and communicate with a nice tone. During high school, I used to be the captain of the cheerleading team. People always seemed to apppreciate and enjoy my presence. I never had trouble interacting with people, I was always a leader. I never enjoyed working alone because I always got bored easily. School was never my strong point, I usually did well in every presentation though since I had my ways to make my presentations seem interesting even if the quality work wasn't the best. My friends used to tell me I got away with murder whenever I got into trouble. Lets just say I'm word smart when speaking but not really on paper. A day in my shoes while working as a waitress would resemble a person getting to work at a specific time and serving clients and trying to keep them happy and not make them wait to long when bringing the food. There are times when the restaurant is full, I have no time to eat so I must find time between shifts that doesn't affect my work. As a waiter I'm allowed to have free food during shifts which is awsome since the food taste great. This job helps me bring in money to pay for my studies which is the reason I became a waiter.

Health Science

 

Hello, my name is Oliver and I'm currently studying to become a paramedic.

I have only one year left before I start having any shifts in my career. As a youngster, I used to be always fascinated by the human body regarding the inside. For example, the lungs, heart or anthing that was produced from an injury. I used to play doctor with my little sister so whenever she got hurt I would make sure to heal her with my "special" skills. In highschool, science became my favorite subject when they reviewed the fuctions of the human body. I thought it was the most amazing thing I ever heard and learned. 

My friends thought I was weird since I usually spent my weekends searching things regarding science. I would go to bed late and wake up really early. But this habit actually benefitted me since I heard being a  new paramedic you have to be ready to wake up at any hour which means I might not get a lot of sleep. I was always a fast worker but not in a bad way. I always seemed to know exactly what to do which in my brain seemed to always click. With that small gift I could solve solutions easily and fast. During my studies, my teacher was amazed how I worked without really thinking anything through. I knew from an early age that I wanted to work in the medical department so I made sure to always keep a 90% average in my studies. I never had any problems speaking to people and working with them it just seemed to naturally come to me. So basically my social, math, science logic really helps me today. 

Government and Public Administration

 

 

Hello my name is Stephany,

 

          For about twenty years I have been working as a tax examiner. There are a few requirements to work in this industry, first of all you have to be good with numbers. Which was a subject I used to Ace in highschool. Everybody would always come and see me whenever they had problems regarding that subject which actually made me feel better. So basically working with numbers is something very important in my job since that's what I work with everyday. A day in my shoes, would resemble working with bills from clients who have difficulties regarding that. I also check an individual's federal state and local taxes accuracy. I am thankful for not being the type of person for letting others push me around because today I sometimes deal with tempered and impatient people which is really unpleasant. As a teen, I usually told people what I thought of them whether it was positive or a negative opinion. I always believed the truth is better. I always got along well with people which now i have developed pretty good social skills. Working in teams or alone never actually bothered me when it came to projects since there are some positive points for each situation. My last year of high school, my math teacher recommanded me to go into a career where my math skills were required since he thought it would be ashame if I just put it aside and didn't use them since he thought I had a lot of potential in that topic. So I followed his advice and that's baically how I became a tax examiner. Today I began taking yoga classes in order to calm my nerves since my job can sometimes be really stressful when I've been given a deadline.
