Oh my, does that appeal to my sense of shenanigans. It stated that we believe in our dreams and see myself as a helper.

...5 core elements of work in business and other organizations that interest me; although, creative production and quantitative analysis are significantly stronger interests for me. I enjoy bringing something entirely original into existence, this might be inform of a product, marketing plan, unique service delivery and especially entrepreneurial work. An opportunity to be creative in any aspect of my work as a manger, executive or an individual contributor in a team is very important part of my work satisfaction. Although highly creative work can be found is almost any industry, and a major part of entrepreneurial work. Still, I prefer to work in an industry in which creativity is an integral part of the definition of the core product or service e.g. advertising and entertainment although entrepreneurship is the best match for me to express this interest. I also enjoy using mathematical analysis to solve problems. Although, this might seem divergent to the above stated interest, a self-assessment revealed that as a manager, executive, consultant, or in any other role, I am drawn to the “numbers side” of the business. I enjoy performing cash-flow analyses, analyzing the future performance of an investment instrument, building a computer model to determine optimal inventory planning, deciding whether the assumptions behind a business plan or sales forecast make...

...was right. It finally is, and here I am, at CCC enrolled in the Criminal Justice program. My son will graduate this year from CCC. My daughter, a sophomore in high school, is already taking CCC classes. I'm lucky. Their as proud of me as I am of them. Some kids might dread seeing their mom on campus. Being a student at 40 though comes with certain challenges. When I was in high school we were taught typing and word processing on the Commodore 64 computer, which was the latest and greatest of technology available at the time. We had no idea back then that we would have the world at our fingertips via the inter-webs on laptops, game systems and mobile phones. That we would be reading books on hand held devices instead of an actual, tangible, printed paper, bound book. We had no clue that instead of cracking open a dictionary or encyclopedia we would do research using “Google” or “Bing”. I guess I never expected to be the oldest person in the class either. Older than some instructors here. I'm okay with that now, but that first week was brutal. Looking at all those fresh faces, I started to doubt myself. I was a B student (at best) in high school, so studying has been a challenge. I've tried to get as much done at the college during the day as possible so that when I am home I'm not taking focus off my normal daily life and my family. At home...

...your goal that you’ve set for yourself. My first goal is to earn my degree in my chosen profession which is Marine Science. I never really knew what I wanted to do in terms of a career. I knew what hobbies I loved, and so I decided to turn them into something that I would do for the rest of my life. The next objective that I’ve set for myself is to find the perfect job in the career field that I have chosen that is best suited for me. There’s a quote by Confucius that says “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life” and that is what my aim is for myself. The last goal that I will accomplish is to travel someplace that I’ve never been before every year. I’ve set a few goals for myself in life, and I plan on accomplishing them all. Now that I know what my goals are in life, I have to start planning the necessary steps to achieve them. For me to accomplish my first goal in life I have to decide which University overseas could help me in earning my degree after I have completed my Associate Degree at UCCI. There are a few that I have been delving into, and only two caught my interest: the University of Tampa and Plymouth University. After I have attained my degree it will be time for me to acquire the perfect job. Even though a lot of people tell me that once I finish my degree I am more than likely not going to find a job in my chosen career field, I don’t let...

...evolution, how they stay up to date with the changes in their respective professions and what they look for in potential hires. David Redhill Partner and chief marketing officer Deloitte When you started your marketing career what was the digital component of your discipline and role like? I started my marketing career in a computer company, ICL, in 1981 – before desktop computers or even word processors were available to a junior PR and marketing officer. So that meant, ironically, that I was publicising and marketing a digital product in an analogue way. I would type up my press releases on an old IBM golf ball typewriter and hand draw my presentations on marketing strategy on plastic slides for overhead projection – so my marketing career really started in the pre-digital age. Dang, am I really that old?! What comprised your original education? I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in communications at the NSW Institute (now University) of Technology. It gave me a superb grounding in all aspects of media and communication – production, script writing, print, radio and television journalism, mass communication theory, and psychology, music and mass culture, professional writing, radio drama, etc etc. To this day I use just about all of those skills in my marketing career. The funny thing is, I never actually studied marketing at university and haven’t ever taken a marketing course per se. But I have worked in journalism, PR, brand consulting, design, direct marketing, digital marketing...

...One of the biggest arguments there is in today’s world is about paychecks. Everyone wants to be paid more, but here is the most massive case is, should professional athletes be paid more than our military members? The men and women are serving in the military number in the hundreds of thousands; it would be nearly impossible to pay them all more than the highest paid athletes. Service members are government employees, whereas athletes are in the employees of an individual, corporatized franchises who can afford to pay them however much they'd like. Simply put, it is not a matter of should we pay the military better than athletes, but can we? Not everyone can be a professional athlete; A person has to have talent with the ability and hard...

...straight out on the table, then explaining it in full details to the students, so that they can understand what todays’ world is really like. One other aspect about the guidance programme that I’m really glad and grateful for, is how they are able to use real life situations as examples to show us young adults, yes “young adults”, that we should be careful of the choices and decisions we make because we are no longer children that need to be breast feed by our mothers, but as young adults who will bring change to our generation and future generations to come. I also view parents’ day to be very helpful for the students. It gives the parents a chance to see how their child/children behaves and conducts his/herself in a school environment. It also provides opportunities to see how well their child/children are progressing thus far in the school year. It now helps the students, by seeing how much their parents/guardian are committed to their social and educational development. Giving a sense of thankfulness, most students work hard if not harder to make their parents proud of them. Next is Career day. To me it is the best thing for students who might or might not be sure of what career they would like to do in the future. It also gives students inside details of their career choice or choices, so that they can know what...

...10 years. Problem is I’m not sure where I’ll see myself in 10 years. Would I like to have a career that I love? Sure. Would I like to have a family started and have money to blow? Who wouldn’t?! But I don’t know for sure because the future hasn’t happened yet, hence why they call it the future. I’d like to say that in ten years I’d have a beautiful family, a job I wake up every morning excited for, and enough money to feed a small country. But you can never be too sure. My search for the perfect job began when I was talking to my uncle about this report. I told him I had to pick three careers I was interested in which was hard for me because I’m scatter-brained and at times indecisive. So he helped me narrow it down, and from then on it was a search through hours of Google links and a few dead trees wasted. It took me three whole days to collect 12 sources for my three careers which is hard for someone with my personality type to do. After taking the Keirsey Temperament survey I discovered I’m an INFJ, which is the rarest personality type of all. The name dubbed to my personality type is “The Caregiver”. It states that they are caring and parental towards everyone they love and love organization, yet extremely unfocused and in need of routine (INFJ 1). When I read that I couldn’t help but think that for once, an online quiz was actually right. It also said I was good with people and was well suited for medical work or being an artist of some sort, which just happened to fit...

...a calm head allows me to engage more effectively; both attributes can help me establish better relationships with co-workers, senior and middle management and external resources. Stress and challenges are common in practically all workplaces and jobs. Healthy emotional responses and expressions in response to stressful situations will help me project an image of professionalism, avoid negative consequences and maintain an open mind for critical thinking. If I have better control over my emotions I will typically show poise and patience in response to a stressful situation. On the other hand, if I’m show less emotional controls I will react quickly by saying or doing things that can get me into trouble. Therefore, as a leader with good communication skills I should try hard to manage the emotional as well as my physical communication environment.

...My decision to pursue an MBA degree to further my career - Week-2 MGT / 521 September 7, 2010 My decision to pursue an MBA degree to further my career - Week-2 The slow down of the US economy has caused companies to start to down sizing, reducing their workforce by layoffs or closing down completely. The Information Technology is being hit twice as hard by not only the reduction of local positions due to the economy slow down but in addition, the lower cost of outsourcing (Computerworld Staff, Feb 22, 2010) . During a recent reduction in force evaluation by my current employer, I noticed that the employee’s education level was an assessed value, which added to the valuable points for retaining an employee. I decided that continuing my education would be a very important addition to resume, future reduction in force evaluations to maintain my current career or make me more valuable if I was out looking for a job. Originally, I was interested in starting a Master of Science in Management (MSM) (Thomas Edison State College, 2010) to further advancement in my current career in Information Technology (IT) and potentially get into a IT Management position the program is offered strictly on-line. I have also started noticing a pattern of companies “outsourcing” information technology jobs to other countries for cost savings to the US companies and noticed the continued strong increase of revenue for the Outsourced Cognizant Technology Solutions (Ribeiro, Augu) .
