Careers On Delivery... U.S Postal Service

This article is about the different career opportunities in the U.S. Postal system. It isn't just a type of delivery thing. All that is required to get hired is a high school diploma and an the passing of and entrance exam. The different jobs that are available are the: carriers, a mail processing clerk, the mail handler, and the sales, services and distribution associates. To be a part of this career opportunity opens up many other opportunities within. The U.S.Postal services does tend to promote workers as they grow experience and improve their skills.

I guess I wouldn't mind working for the U.S. Postal services. The thing I would hate to experience would be all of those paper cuts. Yee!!! Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

What's New , Interview?

This article is about interviews. It tells you how to handle certain interview situations and also tells you the type of interviews that there are. There is the traditinal interview, the technological interview, the work interview, the stress interview and the behavioral/ situational interview. The idea for all of these interviews is always be ready for anything and be sure to be yourself at all times. Don't get frustrated or overly nervous, have questions to ask of your own and always keep eye contact with you questioneer.

Mapping Your Future

Cartography???

This article is about the career, cartography.It is basically the art of making maps. Cartographers are the people who have to make these maps so that they are up to date. Most people in this world think that mapmaking is ancient and isn't really a growing industry.... I know I thought so. They use tools like, the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to gather information about the landscape.
I personally think that I would not be interested in something like this. It just seems a little too boring. It might be fun learning about different places but taking measurements and observations about the land isn't really my thing.

Making the Grade

Teaching...
Teaching a class is said to be over whelming but rewarding... says Zebulum Dikins, He explains that his passion for being a teacher started back from high school, when a teacher gave him inspiration. He too, wanted to make other people feel inspired.
He explains that on his first day of teaching his own class, it was full of nervousness. Who wouldn't be... having anywhere between 15-26 pairs of eyes all looking at you to show them the next best thing in learning. Evidently he has thought of the next best thing in learning. As a teacher he thought that music and rapping is a good way to install everyday text book learnings into the minds of young children.
Of course there were the ups and down of the job... laughing with the children, and grading the children. He says that he has the toughest time grading the children. He wants to inspire the kids to do well on their work by bumping up their grade a smidgen, but also wants to be fair to the children who do, do their best at working.

What I think

I think that is good to know that there are still good teachers out there who do want to inspire children to learn... instead of teachers who just want a paycheck. I like the fact that these new teachers are able to think up new and interesting ways to grab the attention of the students' minds. I like this article.

Auto Motivated... I like that!

Inspiration

This article that I read about is about a girl who achieved her dream career. She is an example of how people can make their dreams and fantasies come true. I hope to be one of those people, someday. Her dream was to be a vehicle design engineer: my dream is to be a chemical engineer... there isn't much difference. She works as a GM designer and helped design the Saturn Aura, which was the car of the year in 2007 at the North American international Auto Show. She deserves it, especially because she is a minority woman. That is very recognizable to society these days.

The benefit that I got from reading this article is that I could believe that I could someday fulfill my dream. It is there, it does exist and I am going to complete it.
