lnIntroduction
This report aims at planning my personal career. Here are four sections consisted of my preferred personal career, my networking strategy, my online professional presence and my written job applications. All these details are based on my previous personal brand, my ideal career and basic marketing knowledge.
Four sections 1. My preferred personal career 1) Explain which career type I prefer
I prefer the Portfolio Career. Here are the reasons why I choose it as follows. * I can pick up my favourite career because I have more opportunities to try different jobs. * It saves much time to do many jobs at the same time because time weighs a lot to the youth. * Many opportunities to engage in personal and

4) Evaluate how the perception of the personal brand and career aspirations may have changed since I first explored them in Block A. * Before I apply for a job, I have to learn the background and situation of the firm every well. Additionally, I have to know what the job is about and what the firm wants from my working. I will not get the job until I stand on the firm’s boots. * There are still some requirements which should be enhanced if I want to be a marketer, like interpersonal networking, open-minded creativity and imagination and problem solving skill. * I may have to change some of my own features to meet the job’s requirements. In front of the customers, I am the company, the brand and the product. If I cannot express the characters of the goods, people will lose their interest immediately.

2. My networking strategy 1) Outline and justify the networking strategy that I intend to adopt in order to achieve the career goals
Strategy development steps ①: i) Profile your audience (current and potential)
The current and potential audience can be profiled in many different ways such as by age, knowledge, geographical location, income,
A. Networking is letting people know you are looking (friends, family, etc.). I plan to use this technique by telling everyone I know, that I am currently looking for an HR internship and that if they may know anyone in that field to please put in a word for me. By doing so I expect to create a broader range of open opportunities because my name can be heard by different people and relayed to different companies who may also relay the message to companies or friends they know.
Choosing a career is an important decision a person has to make in life. Almost everyone wants to be a millionaire or have a highly paid job. I believe the interest and
The whole educational and career planning process has been quite the challenge. One factor that I was completely sure of though, was that I wanted to be doing something important. Something that I personally felt like I would be remembered while also giving back to the community in which I live. With that in mind however, it not only takes one’s talents that are depended on but the experience needed when selecting a career path. Out of the many careers that one can select, I had to pick an admirable career where I would not only make a decent living for myself and my children, but also undertaking something that I would enjoy doing.
When it comes to choosing a career for the rest of my working days, I will choose a career that I know I can be successful in, but I will also choose a career that I know I will take pleasure in. I chose the healthcare
1. What do you consider your expertise at this stage of your career? What are your career interests? What is your differentiator?
The job that I selected after doing my career choice paper is Craft and Fine Artists. I choose this profession because I love everything that has to do with art and it would be the best career to make me happy at what I do for a living. There are really good benefits to the job that really made me want to have this as a career.
The first reason why I find the professional career field appealing is the money. With most of the jobs in the professional career field can have a magnificent sized paycheck. This is very appealing to me because I want enough
This brings home a specific point. When choosing a career, one of the most important aspects will relate to your special skills, talents and desires. Do not choose the number one job thinking it will automatically be the best job for you.
The career I had in mind were jobs that involve manual labor and skilled services. Lucky for me there are many jobs that match my interests, for example construction, it was one of my top NCC careers. There were many more, but that is one I liked more in particular. It is Ironworking, this job has many of the things I enjoy doing.
Until I discovered marketing. Marketing, to me, encompasses all of these passions equally while allowing me to explore a broad range of jobs and opportunities. There are so many different opportunities available in the marketing industry, but I have always been drawn to one specific job, a fashion buyer. I first discovered my interest in this job when a buyer from TJX came to talk to my Women in Business club. She explained the tasks of a buyer and how she was able to reach the position of a buyer. This job initially caught my eye because it incorporates two things I love, fashion and the fast pace speed of the market. I think one of the main qualities of being a marketing major is being able to keep up with the market and understanding how to think like the market. This skill will help you sell your products successfully and produce and sell products that are relevant and in demand. Another key aspect to marketing is learning how to predict how your advertising will effect your audience and how to advertise your products in the most efficient way possible. I think that I would be excellent in this job industry because keeping up with the trends of our ever changing society is almost adrenaline rushing for me.
The more that I ponder different careers, the more that I realize that they all have their benefits and drawbacks. There seem to be an infinite number of aspects to consider, such as income, hours, job security, enjoyment, respect, and so forth. As I weigh the differences in my mind, I begin to consider which aspects are more important to me. I feel that enjoyment outweighs income, and job security is more important to me than respect. For example, I
Life works in mysterious ways, and my path has led me to pursue a career in the Social Work field. My last two years of high school were unique because I was a full time dual enrolled student, which allowed me to graduate with both my high school diploma and my Associate of Arts degree. Now I am twenty years old and will be graduating with my Bachelor’s in Psychology. Upon entering my undergraduate program, I had some idea of what career path I wanted to follow. I had taken many entry-level psychology courses while pursuing my Associate of Arts degree and it peaked my interest. At first, I wanted to be a guidance counselor and then I contemplated being a mental health counselor. It was not until I took a course the first year of my undergraduate career that I knew my future career path. The course I took was Issues in Culture and Society with a concentration in Death and Dying. In that class, I learned how beautiful death can be and how important it is for someone to have a good death. The class also gave me information on grieving for all ages and how to help individuals experiencing grief and this is when I decided to become a bereavement counselor. My mother died when I was seven and I had to grieve in silence, so I want to help others with their grief, so they do not have a similar experience to mine.
As a child, when I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would answer with something along the lines of a princess or an astronaut. While growing up, I learned what I was interested in and what I was suited for, which led me to the medical field. I want to spend my life doing good and helping those who need it, whether I am at work or not. When people think of vocation, they often only think about their career, but it also includes how you live your life away from work. I do not want my life to solely be about what I do at work, but also how I live my life to serve others. Thanks to those close to me, I have figured out my calling by seeing what qualities I possess and what I want in life.
To pursue a career in nursing would mean entering a career that will test you both emotionally and physically. The job demands your heart and will question your sense of ethics between right/wrong but the endless rewards you can reap from this field makes every sacrifice worthwhile. When I was an inexperienced nurse starting off, I was caught off guard with the impact of change I was able to bring to my patients. While only being limited to the inpatient setting, those 12 hour shifts became a time to not only help improve my patients’s acute medical issues but to educate about lifestyle changes, learn about their life stories, and provide opportunities for the promotion of health.
As an individual I had switch the choice of my future career from childhood to this day. At first I had only based it on what I was good at and what people would like to see me do. These choices were for example, math teacher,
