Hello Grade 9 Hhjfhsejkfhdjkfhsdk
A Little About Me!
Someday I want a really great career - not a job - a CAREER! I want one that when I wake up in the morning I am excited to go to work! I would be lying if I said it wouldn't be about the money - let's be honest - a lot of money would be fabulous. Enough money to live comfortably would also suffice! I want a job that I can feel accomplished in - one that is perfect for who I am! This page holds contents about who I am - how I learn best, what my strengths and weaknesses are and details of what I have accomplished to this point in my life. When I have a look at all of this information, I feel a little bit closer to knowing who I am as a person and that is a comfortable place. It is easy to get lost as a teenager - but the comfort of seeing myself on paper has some merit!

One example of a great option on this site is Job Shadowing or Working
One of the best ways to explore is to spend time on the job with people working in the occupation or industry you're interested in. This kind of exploration can be as formal as a post-secondary course or as informal as an afternoon visit.
Job shadowing Job shadowing involves spending time with a person at work, taking part in some activities and getting a detailed picture of what's involved. A job shadowing opportunity often grows out of an information interview.
How to set up a job shadow:
At the post-secondary level, internship, co-op and practicum programs provide hands-on experience directly related to a field of study such as social work or engineering. Students in these programs work in paid and unpaid positions for employers in a related industry. To search for programs, visit EDinfo. Check the program in which you're interested to see if those opportunities are available through the program.
Exploring on the job Working part time or in an entry-level position can increase your knowledge of an industry, and through co-workers and customers, introduce you to several related occupations.
Use these suggestions to make the most of on-the-job exploration:
