Chapter 3 &4

“Good thinking will help you change how you control  a situation”

This quote is very interesting for me because it explains how only thinking itself can play a big role on someone’s actions. we see that if someone has the right-mind is much easier for him to analyze and take proper action. She or he can understand the real situation what is going on. When a person has right-mind, one can do very good in life because right-mind thinking creates a chain of success for everyone. It also helps people in coping much easier with the possible challenges in life. so i want to advice all the people when we want to do anything we have to think about verty carefully.

“ taking action is normal way and pay more attention"

I think this quote is important for everyone to pay attention to the way people deal with different challenges in life. Observation of the behavior and the society around us can help us toward achieving our goals and dealing with different issues of our everyday life. When we observe and ask ourselves questions, we see what we need to do and how we best can handle our actions. Thinking and mindsets are vital and they play a crucial role in our actions. Practicing each mindset will give a person better opportunities in finding a job. Employers are eager to find people how show skills in different mindsets such as problem solving, creativity, big picture thinking, analytic etc.

chapter 1 & 2

Chapter 1 & 2 explains how student should approach their career choices. In those chapters explain that many students do not have a clear idea of what they want to do when they finish college. Some of the this students think that they will get a job that is related to their major but the easier way is not the perfect solution for everyone.

Dr. Katharine Brooks suggest that students need to easy way and go with the flow in searching for jobs. Nowadays many people have changed their mind and it is easier for students to change their decision about jobs. Many students end up changing their plans and working in other fields.  When they meet people from other career, they would change their decision too. Then, they can find out the path of future career.

     This book offers an approach into discovering overlook opportunities as well as finding their true calling. Dr. Brooks definitely drew my attention deeply.

job interview response

Job interviewing is very difficult for everybody because we have to meet some new people. when it comes to preparing for an interview is very intimidating because you are  not meeting with someone to talk about how wonderful they think you are, but to see your skills and qualifications for the job the individual is applying for. when it comes to an interview no matter what we have to prepare  for the interview. I remember that i applied  for job interview six years ago in drugstore in long island city. i kept thinking it was going to be a one on one interview but when i got to the site it was actually a group interview. i didn't get the job because i didn't have that confidence i would probably have in private. so in the three websites i posted on my blog it gives you tips in how to prepare for  any kind of interviews. It is very beneficial because for someone like me who don't know how to nail an interview can get ways on how to be better at handling an interview.

Self Assesment

Self Assesment

Hello everybody,

It was wonderful time and nice to take the self assesment tests and evaluate myself in order to find out what kind of mindset I have. These tests suggested me that I like more to work on the field, but I also will be able to work inside of the office and analyze work material. I think I am an easy-going person and I also am very adobtable to different environments. I can be part of a team work, but I also can do work by myself. As I have mentioned before I have had work experiences in my past where I had to show my organisational and leadership skills.

I like working with people of different cultures because it motivates me and it also makes me appratiate more of what I have. Working with different people gives me the chance to learn more and share my experiences with them. I like to have flexible hours and work around my schedule. As work it is important for most of us, I do my best to fullfill my duties. Patience is part of my personality, but I have a borderline which I don't like to be crossed. It is important for me to pursue my career goals and contribute to a better the society.

Information interview

Information interview

I read a couple of webside about an informational interview. It is really helpfull to findout some information and get some experince about this skills.I know this webside that an informational interview is not the same as a job interview. It’s an opportunity to find out more about a particular career or company. These sorts of interviews can be valuable for anyone, not just those looking for a new job. You might consider this approach if:

i)You’re a recent graduate exploring possible career opportunities.

ii)You have an established career, but would like to discover what it might be like to work for another company.

III)You feel as if you’ve done as much as you can in your current job and are interested in changing fields.

i read a copuple of websides about a information interview. It is very interesting to find the real career into our jobskill.Skillfully used, an informational interview is one of the most valuable sources of occupational information. It would be cover some of the company webside. It presents opportunites for an intimate and flexible inside view of a job field unmatched by other sources. the information interview helps a lot in our first experince.
in my opinion is that if we search for our information interveiw, we would get a lot of benifit.
Can you tell me how you got to this position?
2. What do you like most about what you do, and what would you change if you could?
3. How do people break into this field?
4. What are the types of jobs that exist where you work and in the industry in general?
5. Where would you suggest a person investigate if the person were particularly skilled at (fill in the blank — quantitative thinking, communications, writing, advocacy)?

Portable Careers and Skills

http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/2099.pdf

The best definition of a portable career might be finding a good worker in the right place of training on a regular basis. people use skills in different ways such as

 . 

every managerial position needs skills in organization, communication,  

supervision,  budget, management, negotiation, and education.Skills On the otherside, skills may be hobbies or special interests that one carry with him such as cooking, gardening, sports etc. Information about the portoble skills should be geniune on the resume, otherwise the person that will be interviewed will loose the credibility. Documenting portable skills is helpful because it raises the credibility of the person that is being interviewed, and gives him/her a better chance to get a desired job.

In my  life I have earned some neccesary portable skills such as leadership, organization, communication and how to handling the small business. When I was in junior high school I was part of a few youth clube that gave me the chance to learn  new skills and share them with my friends. I have been part of activities where leadership was neccesary such as creating and participating in youth project proposals. One of the projects that I had done when I was in high school was about to help poor people who do not have winter blanket. we had to give the right person otherwise teacher gave us big panishment. At that time i was wondering because i was the lider of that project.  In another project  I had done a five years ago how to the handling the small buniness as a manager of store. While i was working in the store at that time i was a sales persons. Five co-workers and i tooker care the store. one day my boss called me and told that i had to take care of a manager the the store. At the beginning i was scare because i had not any experince about that. day by day i had done well. now i have my own store and i also have learned how to stared the business and how to take care the business. if i did not learn about the take care of business, i would not start my own business.

These are some of my portable skills, but they will be growing in the future as well.

Introdiction.

My name is Antu Barman. My major is math and scince but i am very interesting  to study about chemistry. It is my favorite subject. I will transfer from four years college at any chemistry related college. Laguardia community college is my first college in the United Strates. I started at Laguardia  spring-1, 2009. i did not  come  to the class  last summer. But I am enjoying at this college.

I was born  in South East Bangladesh. It is not a big country but it has a lot of population. I was also grow up in Bangladesh. I was graduated in high school in bangladesh. when i was in bangladesh i had scince background because i had to make a decision when i was junior high school. It is our school ruls.But it has a big problem is that more than seventy students are the same class. As a result the student can not concentrated in the class even the teacher can not teach properly.

When i came to the United States, i did not understand English very well. Than i spoke to a couple more people where i could  find to help to learn English. Even my room mate  is very helpful. He sent me to the Laguardia  community colllege. Now i am still studying. I hope i will get right career and I will achive my gole.
