Getting to know careers availability and turning it into a career job search experience beyond your imagination

Career planning is a life long journey and there is certainly a lot of excitement while you do your search. 
The Internet provides clues to your directions.
The most important first step is to find out what makes you tick

Such as: -                   
Ø          What you are & Who you are
Ø          What you are like and what you are best at.
Ø          You need to realize your best subjects at school.
Ø          Discover what you like to do and what you enjoy doing most.
Ø          Find out your direction in life and don’t be afraid to do a lit of exploring before you reach that discussion.
Ø          Experiment with different ideas and careers. Ask yourself “can I see me doing this”
Ø          Will I last or how long will I last at It.?

Computers are all around us; there is no more world without them. You will be amazed when you first tackle your computer for answers. They play a significant part in our lives. Computers bring enthusiasm into a majority of people, and you will develop gradually as you search for your creative abilities. Internet sites tend to move round the web, so it is wise to go to your Internet browser and find specific web sites or the type of information you require.

Computers are a challenge to the Human intelligence. For example, you will be using artificial intelligent programs such as the SIMS programs.
The application of computer science is to make machines imitate what people do, by programming their behaviour.

The category falls on teachers.
Where you become the teacher and the computer the student. Your job is to teach your computer to do the thinking for you. It is at work in many walks of live and at all kinds of careers, and it is still growing. You program your computer to examine every aspect of your process. The computer in return asks you questions based on the information data you entered. Project start with some very detailed analyses of your query and propose solutions.

This kind of process is known as MODELING they are complex, mathematical equations that define how a process works.
Ø          What skills does the job require?
Ø          What training is required?
Ø          What subjects should I cover to achieve my goal?
Ø          What school, college, or university should I attend to achieve the right training?
Ø           Can I, or will I get an apprenticeship or on the job training
Ø          What is, and how much, salary do I want to earn.
Ø          What organizations do I approach to?
Ø          Where can I get work experience?

If after all that effort you reach a point! That the career you choose is not really your style don’t despair, after all searching through the process has already given you experience and you are now wiser and have learned a lot more than you anticipated.
Starting all over should be a piece of cake, so tackle the process over and over again and don’t look back. Remember the ones who have no desire to study are the ones who are poor. Trust you instinct and you won’t regret it.

A NOTE FOR DROPOUTS
There are many reasons, why high school students, may not continue to finish their year 11/12.
Some may have had enough; some had to, through illness or other misfortunes and some finds a job, and leave their challenges to faith. Each of us is our own person we shouldn’t compare ourselves with others but do consider this! That once you’re a drop out you are stuck with the first job that comes along and that won’t be easy, as employers would first hire students with better education and you will be struggling for the rest of your life. If you are a lucky you might find work that you like, but if not you are stuck for the rest of your life and on an average wage. The important thing is to keep moving forward.

You can always apply to learning institutions later on, and you will still have a good chance to stand on your feet again, and pick up where you left off so to speak. It is more assuring to continue your education. Finishing high school will give you a greater satisfaction later on in life. Be proud about the choices you make.

If you have low grade points, doesn’t mean, or make you a failure, don’t evaluate yourself solely on grades. It is foolish to think that your grades will determine the rest of our life. If you give up trying you will loose the ability of achieving success and you must avoid this at all costs. Your future depends on your efforts. You can make or break your path to success. The answer is to keep moving forward, one step at a time. The Essential point is that you continue to study and learn as much as you can. Do not allow your confidence, to be determining by the opinion of others; it is your right to cherish a dream of what you would like to do with your future.

The greatest enemy of learning is fear. What is important here is your own growth as a teenager. Once you finish high school you have laid a solid foundation and should you decide to stop studying or to find work. You still have a choice to train for a better career. It is compulsory to finish high school if you want a professional future. By doing your best you become a winner and a great person of character. Without challenges life becomes boring and we tend to become lazy. Our life becomes empty and emptiness means unhappiness.

My advice is not to fall into this trap. It is people who have no desire to study who are poor. You have a great gift somewhere inside you, search for it and find it. Plan your future now that you are still in school and utilize this time available to you. Do not rush, because once you are out there working you are working for the rest of your life or at least until you reach your old age pension. Plan your life and plan it now.

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR DECISION

Lay-offs

The unemployment rate is increasing World Wide.
When we are lucky enough to find our dream job we need to keep working hard to keep it, Once you are trained to fit in with the procedures of the way your company runs doesn’t mean that learning stops there.

The company you are employed with is always looking for more growth and you must learn to grow with it. The future of a company depends on its employees for growth, so if you had stop searching for newer information regarding the future of your company there wouldn’t be much hope of you holding on to the position for long especially if someone comes along with a refresher course on the subject your company retails for. The competition is big and companies need to be on the alert at all times. If not, the chances are it will face bankruptcy

You as a member of staff have a responsibility to your company growth

I am a believer of the verse YOU NEVER KNOW ENOUGH. The world is growing and we must grow with it to survive.
Always keep your resume’ updated In the case of you being lay-off you would have written down all experiences you had learned with your company so far.

Lay-offs are considered by the valuation of the staff members, which are assessed every some months. It is always safe to think ahead and put some money away weekly emergencies do happen. You will have to think that once you finish school your increase of learning does not stop there.
