Career Investigation Report

When I was young I wanted to become a teacher; however, that all changed throughout the years. What had motivated me to become a teacher was all the supplies they had like the whiteboards, the markers, and the construction paper. It seemed fun and interesting to me to have all the supplies. I no longer wish to become a teacher. As I grew older I realized that I wanted to do something that has me going to places, seeing new things, speaking with diverse individuals, and for that reason I chose to be involved in Real estate.

Some of the most prevalent disadvantages to an occupation in this field are the hours necessary. As a CPA with a large accounting firm I would expect a typical work week of 40 to 50 hours. But, during the tax season, January through April, it could be as many as 70 hours per week (S. Westfield, personal interview, August 1, 2008). Since I have already been employed within the accounting industry for some time now, my family and I are used to the long hours and fluctuation during busy times.

A major skill is having dependability, being reliable, responsible and dependable, and fulfilling obligations. Also with both of these jobs come the need to be able to have a high stress tolerance, being able to accept criticism and dealing calmly and effectively with high stress situations. Most people, like myself struggle when it comes to a high stress situation. But there are people out their that can deal with almost anything in any situation, plus have all the attributes at the same time. I myself am one to deal with things quickly and calmly, but when a problem becomes out of my depth I start to stress. I am also an analytical thinker and I pay high attention to detail. I can well in a team and can work well independently when I am needed to. I'm not very good with leadership skills, and yes they are also needed for both of these jobs, but it is needed to be put in play I am capable of doing

For the third PIP, I chose to visit the Career Services Center. Career Services Center are located in room 133 of the Mountainlair Building, on the downtown campus. The Director of the program is David Durham. They offer a wide variety of services for students.

I chose to research a career in Health Psychology, focusing somewhat on clinical work. I chose this career path in particular because of my major and emphasis in Health Psychology; I wanted to know what the opportunities, benefits, and requirements were for pursuing this specific field within psychology. I was made aware of this option as a major emphasis during my first semester at BYU-Idaho, and I knew at that point that I wanted to go on to doctoral studies and possibly medical school, so I switched from a General Psychology emphasis to Health Psychology. I also wanted to know if there were specializations under Health Psychology that would fit with my personal interest in addiction recovery.

For my Career Exploration Project, I chose the career of legal secretary. In the practice of law, a legal secretary is person who works in the legal profession, typically assisting lawyers. I chose legal secretary, because I have been exposed and aware of this profession for a while. My mother has been involved in the legal secretarial field of work for about two and a half years now. Seeing lawyers and their assistants on television first interested me in the career, but my mother being a legal secretary furthered my interest. My mother took me to her place of business a few times. I wasn’t able to see lawyers in full action, but I got to see my mom and some other legal secretaries in meetings and conferences.

The type of field in sports management I will be involved in is to become an athletic recruiter. They identify talent and help bring talented players to play for a particular team. A recruiter scouts all parts of sports, furthermore they must have experience in the game, and to become devoted to the players to persuade them to

A quality that I posses is leadership. I have been the varsity tennis captain for three years at my school and presidents of two clubs. I think that my leadership skills will help contribute to the UCF community because of my past experiences with a group of students. I like to be very organized and like to have every events planned out before hand so if any events were to clash each other I can rearrange things ahead of time. In addition, a unique characteristic that I posses is my skill of bring people together. I like to motivate people to join my study group that I have created to help students have a better understanding on the concepts of what we are learning in school. I am a very easy going person to talk to an I like to talk to everyone

INTRODUCTION- Material Handling and Distribution Operation is the career I’m pursuing. The reason I choose this career is because it is inspiring and actually interest me. MHDO is a great career to be in. It’s a great career to pursue because you can learn things that can help you through everyday life. This career also includes forklift driving which can help earn extra pay. When I was working my first job I always watched my friend drive a forklift through the work site. I watch how he focus and move boxes and heavy equipment around. It motivated me to get my forklift licenses and make extra money besides I think it’s very interesting. At the time it was a factory I was working in which is kind of like a warehouse. Ever since then I were determined to get my forklift licenses and I had a plan to get them. Now that I have them I’m coming up with more plans to do things with them.

At a young age I was introduced to basketball and volleyball, and ever since the love for these two sports have grown and play a big role in my life. Today, as a competitive athlete, I have learned how to be a leader, what it takes to be successful, and that nothing in life will be handed to you. My role of being a leader all began when I was in third grade on the basketball court. I was the only one that knew how to dribble, so my role was to be the "point guard,” the person who leads the team on offence. Still today I play this role; I am currently the captain of my varsity basketball team and was the captain of my successful volleyball team. Being an athlete has also shown me what it takes to be successful. I have learned the key to success

My greatest accomplishment in the area of leadership was unanimously being voted team captain of my tennis team. My freshman year of high school, I decided to take a chance and join my high school’s tennis team. I had never picked up a racquet or played the sport before, but my eighth grade teacher persuaded me to join. By the end of tryout week, I was number seven on an eight person team. At the time, I could not care less that I was the second to last person on the team, I was just excited to be apart of a team. My friend Katie and I were the only new players on the team and played as doubles partners. In the beginning we lost, a lot, but we were always improving. No matter how many times we lost or won, our team was always there cheering us on. That was how the tennis team functioned. There was no gossiping, fighting, or disliking amongst teammates. We were a family who cared and encouraged one another to be their best.

As an athlete, I believe that I have the qualities necessary to be a leader. Tennis is mainly an individual sport which teaches self discipline and the ability to adapt to different situations. I feel that these characteristics also mark a good leader. When I have played in state tournaments or on tennis teams those
