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! By taking the Focus 2 Carer Assessment, I easily learned a valuable lesson about becoming a nurse, and how I should take my personality into consideration while becoming a nurse. Because I am determined to become a nurse, I am willing to become a more social person; but if I were not willing to become more social, Focus 2 claimed that I would excel quite well in many different types of jobs.…
Target Corporation is the second largest discount retailer in the United States. It currently operates almost 1,800 stores in 49 states, and has been able to deliver high-quality, on-trend merchandise at discount prices to its customers, more so than their competitors ( Target Brands, Inc., 2016). The company’s mission is to make “Target the preferred shopping destination for their customers by delivering outstanding value, continuous innovation, and an exceptional guest experience by consistently fulfilling our expect more, pay less brand promise” (Target Brands, Inc., 2016).

At the beginning of the semester I was somewhat intimated by the amount of course work that was expected of each student in this class. However, as time went on and I started to complete the assignments, it became clear how useful many of them were, particularly the resume and the career exploration paper. Both of these assignments were beneficial in their own way, despite the time and effort that went in to completing them according to the instructions. The resume and subsequent critiques from multiple sources yielded a professional document that is flawless and ready to be disseminated to potential employers after a minor customization to it based upon the job description and requirements. The career exploration assignment has taught me how…

I will be sociologically analyzing death as a cultural phenomenon, stage of the life course, and personal experience. The first day in SOCY 4131, we talked about death. In a “Life Course” class, one may be surprised death is brought up so early. The ironic thing about the life course is that living with a “good” death in mind usually reflects a good life. I will further explain what this means throughout the essay.…
The population I most enjoy working is the ageing. I've volunteered at various care facilities for the past five years. At Timberhill Place, I predominantly talk with the residents on how their lives are going and what their aspirations are. Considering my career goal is to become an occupational therapist, having time to spend speaking with a population that often utilizes occupational therapy is very very valuable. In addition to this, I simply enjoy talking with the elderly.…

My desired career path is to start as an associate within the health-care industry group at an investment bank, such as Piper Jaffray & Co. or Morgan Stanley. Then, I intend to transition to an investment fund that invests in growing innovative health-care technology companies. From working at Alvarez and Marsal on the financial analyses of proposed health-care technology investments, I have learned about the challenges in the health-care sector: improper patient care, inefficient revenue-to-cash cycles, and growing administrative costs. In addition, these projects have exposed me to some of the emerging health-care technologies that have been created to overcome these challenges. My first project involved developing financial forecast scenarios…

While a career map may not be exact, it certainly has a number of benefits that arise from creating one. When one creates a career map, they tend to be more organized.…
Being a clinical healthcare professional is my top career choice. I strove to be one since my childhood years because, to this day, I have not found a career truer to my virtues: strong work ethic, team cooperation, and compassion. Because the lives of patients are put on the line, I take healthcare very seriously. The healthcare system requires hard workers to keep up the morale of the hospital and its patients.…
In today’s world computerized career information systems are very important, as students rely in technology to learn about career development. Two of the career information systems that I had the opportunity to explore are Arizona Career Information System (AzCIS) and Iseek careers.

AzCIS and Iseek systems are easy to read and understand and provides assessments that will help students see their interests and skills they have that will help them see what career path is appropriate for them. AzCIS and Iseek careers have different features for students to explore.…
