Structures and Processes that apply to the working world.
Question 1 Marketing – Marketer: the field of marketing is on my list because it plays to my strength of being business orientated and it intrigues my interest of learning the full story of products and aspects of promotion. Art and Design – Graphic Design : I find interest in the field of graphic design because it deals with more than computers but merely the design of elements exposed in daily lives i.e. posters , billboards etc. and it way a person can express one’s self and idea. Tourism - Tourism has always been a field of interest to me for I seek to be wanderlust, I want to travel the world and explore the history, stories, traditions, food

As a person deciding on a career can’t base out decision on which careers are on high demand, the careers on parents want us to take for those careers could be the opposite of strengths or interests. So it all comes down to this, pick a job that suits you! In reference to myself, my aim is to study a career that opens multiple doors e.g. marketing field is just the occupation of a marketer but a project manager, advertising consultant the list goes on. Personally, look into the availability of your career and the careers available that match your strengths but don’t base your studies on facts because each fact is based a person

...hanical engineering because I find it the most appealing. I participate in an architecture, construction, and engineering program at school called the ACE Mentor program and I have spoken to several mechanical engineers and gained insightful exposure. In this program, I also worked together with other students, teachers, and mentors to design and create a realistic model of a hotel which we then formally presented at a conference. This year we are building a research facility and interactive museum, which helps me decide which facet of engineering I want to explore. Although, I remain open minded, I prefer mechanical engineering because the work can help make advancements in robotics, medicine, and computers. No engineer works alone and I believe that if I pursue my interests in this field, I will have the opportunity to make contributions to a vast array of fields.
Each of these reflects some aspect of my personality or my daily activities. For instance, I am currently learning how to play the piano and other forms of music and enjoy getting feedback; this could be considered a form of Performing Arts, as well as my participation in church and school-based chorus throughout the years. Additionally I combine my love of Visual Arts and Programming to create small video games or mess with websites for fun. As far as Mechanics & Construction go, fixing broken devices around my house before they were thrown away was something that I used to do, but haven’t for awhile. This leaves only one interest area almost completely unused, Office Management. I would consider this a work-based interest, and a lifestyle choice of sorts: I like having things organized and efficient. My current job, however, is as a team member, and it is not in my responsibilities to organize items or people, so therefore, this interest goes unused in my
Many of my friends pick their careers based on money and trade skills that they have. I am proficient in art and design, but didn’t feel like that was what I wanted to do for my career. Your career shapes a huge portion of your life. It is what you do every day, for a large portion of your life. It is what I have prepared for the past 12 or so years of my life. It is way more than just money or a skill. I wanted to do something unique, something interesting, something that would inspire me to be a better human, something that would make me feel, something that is challenging, something that helped others, and above all, something that was rewarding and made me feel fulfilled.

Choosing a career path that is right for you can be the most crucial decisions you make in your life. Not only is making the right choice important for the present, but it is especially important for your future.

My present interest in art is more graphic/typography based, although I do enjoy all areas of art. I have been designing graphics on my computers from a young age and have work published in national magazines. Not all the graphical work I do is computer based, I enjoy using traditional mediums in a clean graphical way, as I find it more satisfying working on a larger scale and producing something more "real". My current course has helped me "branch out" more; I have experimented in many disciplines successfully producing paintings, pastels and drawings, which I had never really developed fully before.
Firstly, my academic career is very important to me. I try my best to go the extra mile in everything I pursue. My preferred subjects include marketing and math. I enjoy learning about these because I feel that math
of landscape architecture. This field interest me for several reasons. First, I have always liked to draw and design and growing up I always wanted to be an architect or engineer. I felt that engineering put too many limitations on creativity, so architecture was the path of choice. Then, after working with my father’s small business for the past 6 doing some landscaping and lawn care, I decided that since I enjoyed working with plants and landscaping that I might want to look into a profession that would allow me to continue to work in those areas. Landscape architecture seemed to be the next logical choice, allowing me to continue being involved in the landscape industry and also to work much like I would in the field of architecture.
Art Education is the perfect major for me because I have a passion for educating. Luckily in high school I have had a good amount of experience educating others. First off I have had the opportunity to teach my school news channel. In this role I teach the students what a good product looks like and the ways to produce a newscast. I enjoy every minute that I spend informing the
According to the study of this course, I have learned many useful management skills and I feel like these skills will be applied to my future career development. When working on the self- assessment tests, I found myself fall into the category of the ISTJ personality types, which as illustrated by Myers Briggs, is the type of personality that is conscientious, considerate, and helpful. Personality traits such as honest, dutiful, practical and responsible are my strengths; personality traits such as stubborn, insensitive and poor communication skill are my weaknesses. Related to the knowledge I have learned in the course I believe both strengths and weakness will have influence to my future career development. In this reflection paper, I will demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses that may place the most influence on my way of success.

Careers are not something to be taken in a light manner as it acts as a major function in every being’s life. Career dysfunctional may results in decreased self confidence, increased interpersonal communication problems or traces of depression.
