...:: Employment. Department of Labor, 2014. Web. 28 Jan. 2016. Explorer, Campus. "General and Operations Managers." Career Information:. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2015. Web. 28 Jan. 2016. 1) My survey responses revealed that I would be best suited for enterprising. I disagree with the results of the survey because none of the jobs listed suit my personal interests. A general manager or a real estate agent are not careers I would choose because I enjoy daily changes, and completing the same tasks would make my job strenuous and boring. I would enjoy having a job where I could meet new people and offer my help to the needy. 2) Out of the two career paths, a real estate agent is more interesting. This is because I would get to travel all around my city, learn about the best school districts, become informed about dangerous neighborhoods, and then some. Factors that influence this choice would be family and finances. If you know a lot of people, chances are you will succeed in advancing in your career, which in turn will mean making more money. Family is very important to me, so having a job that I could dictate the times in which I work would be very helpful. My choice may change over time after seeing how my clients react, or seeing I become bored with showing houses every day. This career path compares to my future job I have in mind because both careers involve being able to communicate effectively and truthfully. They also both require long hours and a large amount...

...Joseph Calata Early Career Path After graduating from DLSU, Joseph joined the family business as a Clerk, J. Melvin’s, a poultry feed store in Plaridel, Bulacan. It had been incorporated under the name Planters Choice Agro Products established by his parents Eusebio and Isabel in 1978. The store was named after Joseph and his older brother Melvin. Before jumping in, Joseph observed that the business was run like a sari-sari store. The core product, animal feeds, would be weighed on the spot and handed to customers, and the money was kept in a money pot or in a drawer. J. Melvin’s had branches in Malolos, but their main markets were the farmers in Plaridel. He envisioned the backyard business as a professional corporation. He bought an accounting software that took him a year to master and tailor-fit to the store. According to Joseph Calata “It was definitely trial-and-error but I wanted to prove that it could be done with patience and determination,” he said. “I asked myself, ‘Will I end up working in this store, merely giving change for animal feed?’ I decided to professionalize it. I worked 24/7. I could not make a new transaction if the previous day’s sales had not been encoded…because I saw how things would pile up. I wanted to perfect the system. I had to know how much we made every day. Was there profit? How much?” Joseph Calata was single-minded in proving that putting a system (and a paper trail) in place was the way to go. Although recording the inventory was tedious...

...The Ideal Successful Career Life Plan Growing up, I learned at a very young age the value of a good education, the safety that brings a good job, and the importance of hard work to advance in your career. When I moved to the United States, I set my goals to pursuing a degree in Business Administration in order to gather the knowledge necessary for a successful career. My parents are both my role model and I look up to them in everything I do. My father was an engineer who worked constantly to take care of the family. He worked projects after projects with the same passions for more than 30 years. It was obvious how much he loved his job and no matter how he got paid, I never heard him complain. My mother stayed at home to raise us, teaching us the value of working hard and fighting hard for what we want and believe in. Their tenacity and determination are what I use as a base in my own life. I am studying toward a degree in Business Administration. I am hoping to be a manager or a consultant manager at a well-known company so I can learn the ropes on how to manage a business. I want to acquire experiences with handling finances, learn how to market existing and new products or services etc. Once I get enough experience I would like to start my own business and contribute to my community. I want to focus on knowledge that includes all the education, trainings, certifications and experiences to become a successful business owner...

...John E Gombos Bcom/275 Career Plan Building Activity: Reasoning Aptitude Researching, innovating, and strategizing were the top three results from my reasoning aptitude assessment. After looking through the details of the researching result, I have learned that I am able to easily learn and retain new information. This has taught me that I have a willingness to learn since my subconscious mind easily memorizes new topics. Having a researching orientated reasoning aptitude makes me believe that I like to learn as much as I can while approaching an argument. I may be trying to my point across the person I am arguing with but at the same time, I am trying to learn. The second highest reasoning aptitude I received was innovating. Innovating means that I like to be creative and come up with my own approaches to problem solving. This result tells me that I have a very independent thinking style and a wide process range. I am not willing to accept defeat during a challenge and instead will combine both my researching and innovating style to accomplish a task. I also believe I use innovation during an argument. If I feel like an argument is not going my way, I will try to get creative and think of a different approach. My third highest reasoning aptitude is strategizing. To be honest, I feel like strategizing should be my highest reasoning aptitude. I have always had a very methodic approach to life. Strategizing for a conversation is always the best approach to winning an argument...

She has a desire to further her education and obtain a doctorate's degree. She is unsure what she would study but again it has to include both biology and mental health.

...Career Path for Internal Auditor An internal auditor is a professional that provides an independent and unbiased analysis of the internal control or activities of a company. The internal auditor’s job is vital to an administration; with management, he or she synthesizes and implements rules and recommendations. An internal auditor has the responsibility to develop and apply analytical tools or indicators that measure risks and evaluate performances. The job implies a transversal function within an organization because the internal auditor has oversight responsibility over many services or departments. He or she has to ensure the efficiency of operation, IT controls, and the trustworthiness of financial reporting; additionally, an internal auditor has to work to determine and detect fraud, and above all, make sure all activities are in compliance with laws and regulations. Very often, companies hire audit firms to do internal auditing instead of professionals from the field, commonly recognized as Certified Internal Auditors (CIA). Nevertheless, being an internal auditor offers broad opportunities within companies; the different steps or career paths range from entry-level internal auditor, Lead/senior Internal Auditor, Internal Audit supervisor/manager, to Internal Audit executive/chief audit executive (CAE). The entry level internal auditors must possess the basic skills to review processes, activities and objectives of the organization. At this level, the auditor is...

...I am Taejonna Johnson, a 10th grade student that attends your high school. I have been working vigorously in the past two years of my high school career to get to the point where I’m at, which is eligible to graduate early. I made the decision that this is what I wanted to do when I was in 8th grade; as I’ve gotten older and matured, I’ve figured out what my main reasons are for trying to graduate early. If I am granted the privilege of graduating early then that’ll give me more time to focus on the dual major that I want to do and going pre-law. My high school career has so far been a rollercoaster. My freshman year I didn’t do that well due to some health issues that I was suffering with that sometimes distracted me from my work. I injured my knee during football season cheerleading and I had surgery in April which caused me to miss a month a school, when I finally returned I only went to school on even days for about a month and someone would come help me...

...Ethics and Your Career Path Ian Hughes Broadview University Abstract This paper takes a look at how to find a fulfilling career, and the importance of finding a company that operates in an ethical way. The importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is explored, and we look at ways to keep yourself on track and being able to maintain separation between your personal and professional lives. This covers some steps in finding and maintaining a fulfilling career, and how to keep your eye on the prize. I also touch on how CSR plays a role in your fulfillment and how ethics ties it all together. Don’t be afraid to make big decisions and jump in with both feet! This is my interpretation of the course material to date. Ethics and Your Career Path There is no greater goal than to find yourself in a fulfilling career. How does one find such a thing? Wherever your path takes you, there are a few things to remember when trying to reach your goal of a fulfilling career. First, you don’t want to stay in limbo. It’s not a bad idea to give ideas some thought, but prolonged indecision is going to kill your drive. Being in limbo is one of the most powerless states there is, and while it can be terrifying to jump in and act you must! Clarity comes from engagement, not thought. Make the commitment and go – you can always correct your course on the way. Show up, try hard and see what happens. You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve once you harness your fear and move forward. ...
