Experience in Human Relations, College Recruiting, Teaching and Coaching Career Related Networking. Interested in helping people recognize and realize the skills, abilities, aptitudes, and interests that they have and help them to develop them and put them to use to help themselves and others.
What is the biggest challenge you had to overcome to get to where you are now professionalls? How did you overcome it?
The biggest challenge was the result of choosing a career area that was very volatile. Human Resources is an area that is very sensitive to the economics of a company. It is the department that many times is the first to be affected in bad times, and the last to be affected when times get better. Therefore, I had to learn job seeking skills and coping skills when I was out of work due to the economy. As time went on, I was able to develop these skills to the extent that I was able to set up a reemployment program for a non-profit organization to help people get back into fulfilling positions of employment. Also, I chose a career area for which I was not well suited, ignoring red flags along the way during my education. This, combined with the situation that I ran into too many times of a college graduate whom I recruited off of a college campus not liking the job for which he was recruited, prompted me to work with high school students to encourage them to become involved in internship, coop, shadowing, and volunteer programs to allow them to experience the career area before inappropriately committing to it.
How did you start building your network?
I started building my network when I attained my first professional position after college. I later recognized that I should have started building my network while I was still in college. As I have learned, and now teach, the majority (70-80%) of people get their jobs through people that they know and get to know through networking. People can get along farther and faster by taking advantage of natural connections such as alumni relations departments of the schools and college that they graduate from, attend, and possibly plan to attend. Who can better give information about a school, college, career, etc., than a person who has been there or is doing that about which you seek knowledge. Although the current generation considers itself to be very technically and digitally proficient, I am concerned that they are lacking in the development of personal social relationships. Developing person to person social networking will allow them to overcome this and allow them to enhance their career development.

In one of my businesses classes I am currently taking, I have had the opportunity to research many aspects of project management, including pay, location, education requirements, demand/trends in career field, hard and soft skills required, day-to-day activities, and more. Based on my wants, needs, and my skills in communication, organization, and interpersonal areas, I know this career would be a good fit for me. I plan on attending a business school next year (I am currently applying, as I am a high school senior), hopefully in the Boston area. While in college, I will participate in internships during my sophomore and junior year which will hopefully lead to a job offer during my senior year. I will begin at an entry level position, but take as many opportunities as I can to show my leadership within the company. The company may offer to let me lead one project to see how well I will work in that position, and if I do well enough, I will be offered a project manager position. #logistics-management

If I go into medicine, I want to major in biochemistry and volunteer at a hospital. After that, I want to go immediately to medical school (after taking the MCAT, etc.), before applying for residency/fellowship. If I go into engineering, I can major directly in engineering and go from there. I think I'll be all right with a Bachelor's degree in engineering, but I might also go to graduate school in either mechanical or aerospace engineering. Currently, I'm struggling with my college search. I have no idea which colleges I want to go to, and I'm not sure where to start. #engineering #career #medicine #mechanical-engineering

Context: I will try volunteering at Kaiser (hopefully the will let me in) and I will try to do that as long as I can. I plan on continuing with my clubs (GSA which I am the VP of currently and plan on becoming the Secretary next year, Interact Club which I am very involved in by doing multiple volunteer opportunities, Film Club I am very involved in that, and two fun clubs that I just really talk and have fun in). During the summer I wish to attend NYLF: Medicine work at the snack bar for the little league baseball and also do babysitting gigs (The working I will continue into my Junior year and Senior year most likely). During my Junior year of high school (Next year) I plan on continuing my volunteering at Kaiser, taking classes at Chaffey College, and as many volunteer opportunities that I can. In my Senior year I plan on continuing my Clubs, Kaiser Volunteering, Chaffey College Classes, and also I wish to get an actual job with the most pay so I can save up as much as I can. After I graduate I plan on going into Chaffey College fully and to get my Associate's Degree in Nursing and then my dream is to move to LA and go to school at UCS or California State University and if that doesn't happen I wish to go to Loma Linda University.

To reach my goal of becoming a Mechanical Engineer there are several steps needed to be completed before I achieve my goal. First, I must graduate from high school so that I can go college. Once in college I would pursue the degree of Mechanical Engineer. I would obtain a Bachelor's or Master's degree for Mechanical Engineer. In college I would begin the process of networking to acquire professional contacts, internships, and job opportunities. Once I have graduated from college with a degree in Mechanical Engineer I would pursue this field by starting at an internship or by being employed after college. These are the steps required for me to become a Mechanical Engineer.

Context: My ideal college is University of California of Los Angeles. From high school, I am taking majority of regular and advance placement courses relating to math and science that are offered at my school; for example, AP Calculus AB, AP Chemistry, physics, and biology. Knowing that biomedical-engineering courses at California's universities are very competitive, taking those courses give me a feeling of how classes might be at colleges. I plan on majoring in engineering, but I do not know whether or not I need to get minor courses in college.

Context: The steps that will help me reach my goal is to finish high school first of all, then to look for a particular college that has the major that I want to study. If I want to be able to go to a college of my choice, I will have to score really high on my ACT test in high school, so that schools see that I really want to get in. Hard work and dedication also plays in this role because learning all of the material isn't easy.
