Not being able to finish all the assessments on the same day because of lack of time I decided to do the following next to assignments on the following day I had learning the frameworks again. On October the fourth in between classes I started the skills profiler report. The third test had a scrolling aspect which was different from the previous two test. The test was simple since the assessment wanted me to self-score myself on where I was from basic to genius. Most of the questions I answered on a moderate scale although only a few of my questions somewhat distressed me on either my answers were accurate to myself.

    During POC #1, I learned through the Focus 2 Career Assessment that I am almost ready to become a nurse. In order for me to become a nurse, I need to become a more social person, either that or fake it!

This past week, I participated in a mock interview role-play in class, which permitted me to evaluate and test my interview skills with peers.…
