Career Day
This year I attended the job fair that is held every year at a local college called Concordia and our school spent the whole day listening to presentations by people who run their own businesses, work at a large company, and entrepreneurs. Visiting all those job presentations was very informative because no one has ever talked to us about those jobs in detail. Some stuff from the main presentation held in the large auditorium I remember from my last visit so I didn't really need to hear that information again. While I was there, I sat in on two presentations just like everyone but the one that was most interesting to hear about was the second one where this man talks about how he started his own franchise of Little Caesar's pizza stores. At first he was a successful lawyer working at very well known law firm but then he quit his job to pursue what he really wanted to do, to own a small business without having a boss tell him what to do. He knew the risks about staring his business like if he chose a bad location where there isn't many customers, he could end up losing all his money he invested into that shop. I liked both my presentations that I listened to because they were both telling me stuff about that particular business that I didn't know about. I do have a career goal in mind for the future which is to become a pilot of either airplanes or helicopters or maybe even both. Once I finish up getting my general education, I will look for another college more into aviation to help me achieve my goal. I have researched a couple colleges that are focused on aviation and the best ones are usually too expensive or far away so I just looked into closer schools that aren't so expensive because I don't think I can get into those. Right now I am currently unemployed because of several reasons like the lack of jobs right now, employers don't want inexperienced workers, and too many senior citizens are still working. I have previously tried job hunting for a month straight but out of all the applications I turned in not one replied back for an interview. After a while of trying to get a job I just stopped searching and focused more on my school work because at the time I was doing my senior exit project and I was already on a tight schedule to finish up and turn it in on time, but now that I am going to graduate I will start my search again. I am open to any job that will hire me because I never had a job before and I just want to work because I have too much free time on my hands. After my graduation I don't know what I'm going to do except got to OCC and looks for a job, I wish I could go on a vacation like my other friends but I can't unfortunately.
