Career Path

I have always been thinking of a good definition for the word"Career" , when I graduated from my under-graduate school I did not think for a moment that I am going to work only in my field of study ! . I felt confident that I would be able to work wherever I find myself able to get the job done as it should be.
My first job started at a big company in Jordan which is Americana company for restaurants and tourism projects , My job was to study the places where they will open new restaurants,collect information about the area,analyze the customers preferences and desires, and then make a recommendations . I did my job and I almost was spending half of my day roaming those areas and meeting with people ,and my recommendations hit the target and exceeded the desired outcomes from my bosses.
My second job was very important, I was interviewed by the International Airport top level officials to be a supervisor of the VIP passengers services. I got the job after three interviews and started working and dealing with high level passengers from all over the world . I stayed in that job for one year and a half .
My third job was the one I loved which is teaching , I read an announcement for a job in UAE ,they were looking for a supervisor and business teacher , I applied , I was interviewed twice one in person and one on phone and I was given a test and finally got the contract .I went there and I taught for two academic year and I loved it .
Therefore, I find it interesting when talking about career , that does not mean I have to stick with my field of study but always when I think of my career or what I am looking for ,I will ask two questions and then match the answers if they match I will go ahead and take it if not then I am not gonna take it : what is my strength I mean what is my core of competence ? what does the job need done?

My Career Path

I'm a Management Information System major student. I just love solving IT problems and doing business at the same time. I was really lucky to be given opprtunitys to create my own career path. When I was in middle school, one of my mum's friend who owned a IT company invited me to help out in her office. I learned so much from the technician. Since that, I fell in love with IT. I even went for classes to learn some basic. I started to fix my computers and figure out new problems. Also, I was offered to work in Eberly RND for awhile and that experience was precious. I learned a lot from there and even working in the computer lab now I was being challenge by some students with computer problems. It was just so interesting to me to able to work on different scenario everytime. I'm still not a professional now but I'm just trying to learn as much as I can. Taking all the classes in IUP definitely helped me a lot with what I'm hoping for.

Besides, you might be curious why don't I pick Computer Science instead of Management Information System. Management Information System offers me two different fields, business and technology.  Since I was strongly influenced by my businessman dad and this major just works perfectly for me. Anyway, I would still love to be a IT technician. Even though it can be frustrating sometimes when I couldn't fix it especially a programming error. However, when it was fixed, the feeling of it was great especially when I saw the happiness and smile on the customers. In the future, I would like to own my business. It will most probably related to IT. I still have a long way to go and hopefully my goal can be accomplished in no time.

My Career Path

I am a Hospitality Major. I really hope that once I graduate I can move south and work as a hotel/resort manager. I would love to be in charge of the front desk and working directly with customers. I think that I would make a good manager of a hotel or resort because I work well with others. You must know how to do this because you are working with a staff and you need to of course be their boss but you also want to be able to relate to them and be able to work with them if you want a smooth running operation. I also think I would be good at this because I am a little bit of a people pleaser. I love to see people happy and I think if I work for a resort or somewhere in the tourism field I would get to make a lot of people happy. I think that to make the customer good memories you must be able to make their stay at your hotel/resort a happy stay. Lastly I think an important skill I have to strive in this field is organization. If you are going to be a manager you must have a plan for everything and everything must be organized. You must have a plan for if there is a fire, robbery, death, short staff, etc and you must know how to stay calm when things are happening which I am also very good at. Organization also comes into play because you deal with a lot of different tasks and you must know where your files are for each thing. This is just a brief summary as to why I think that I will make a good hotel manager one day

Who Am I?

I'm an international student who is majoring in Management Information System in IUP. I also have a minor in Applied Statistics as well. I have been in the states for more than two years now. During breaks, I usually just travel around the states. I had visited most of the the big cities and attractions in United States. I love all of them and it was so interesting and fun to travel around here. It's really an eye opener for me to study abroad and travel here .I hope I could study abroad again or visit some other countries in the near future as I really love to travel and know the cultures.

Who Am I?

Slickville is my hometown. My first job was at a deli when I was 15. I love working with people in many roles, mostly as an educator and leader. I consider myself a life long learner, adventurist and an artist. I am an aspiring instructional designer and hope to move west once I graduate.

Who Am I?

One day I will buy a farmhouse and have a pack of dogs who run in the fields,cats who lay in windowsills, flowerbeds full of sunflowers and azaleas, goats who I milk in the morning, chickens who lay speckled brown eggs and children with wavy brown hair and my fiances blue eyes. We will make strawberry and blueberry jam in the summers and sleep under homemade quilts. On clear nights, we will lay in the grass and look up at the constellations and listen to the crickets, basking in the vastness of our universe and the beauty of creation.

Who Am I?

I’m doing my bachelor’s degree in General Management with a minor in MIS. I decided to come to the United States for college because I wanted to learn from a wide variety of people and become more independent. This is my senior year at IUP and I have a few projects in mind before I graduate. One of my plans is to get an IT certification in database management. I used to think that working with computers was hard and tedious, but after working in Eberly for a year, I started to become interested in computers and IT problems.
