Completing my degree in computer science and mathematics has given me a strong technical foundation in computer development. My undergraduate work covered areas such as hardware architecture, data structure concepts and software development. One of the most interesting programming assignments I was given was to develop an algebra tutor software package to be used by college algebra students. I worked with a team of developers to design a program that could solve any set of linear equations and display a 2D or 3D graph of the equations. The aspect I liked most about our project was the fact that it was used to teach a difficult subject in a clear and simple manner. I have always enjoyed teaching others. For three semesters at [deleted], I had the unique opportunity to teach College Connection courses with a professor. College Connection is a course designed to help incoming freshman make a smooth transition from high school to college.

...Health Information Tech. By: Shequita Kelly Table of contents: Career OverviewTraining, Qualifications, and AdvancementEmploymentJob OutlookEarnings/ Works Cited Introduction I chose to research the profession of an health information technician. I chose this profession because I like working with technology and want a career in healthcare. I am also detail-oriented, organized and interested in science and medicine. I believe that a job as a health information technician could be the right fit for me. My paper will inform you on the advantages of following a career in the health information technician career field. First of all, this one of the few jobs in the medical industry that has no hands on contact with patients. Another advantage is the wages that can be made and the benefits provided by employers. The last point to be made is that the employment rate is expected to grow it fastest ever in the years to come. The first advantage that will be discussed is the work environment and the different specialties. This job is done mainly inside the comforts of an office, at a desk. The majority of the work is mainly done on a computer.

...Research Paper Rough Draft: How to become a Neat Nail Technician Looking around the room, I see an array of beautiful shades to choose from. Pastels with deep dark colors of nail polishes are sitting on organized shelves to be chosen. Sometimes a salon will have a strong stench of chemicals, mixed with the sound of nail buffing drills, and chatter too. However, getting a manicure and pedicure is still a relaxing retreat that many women, even men, look forward to. When I was a just a little girl, I became exposed to the art of nail design and a vast selection of polishes throughout the years of my mother’s influence. Painting nails, playing with false nails, and the experience in taking trips to the nail salon with my mother have become hobbies of mine ever since then. Thereafter, I realize that in order to become a professional nail technician, it will take hours of practice and training to obtain your license, and testing your skills in your new workplace. This topic is something interesting that I liked learning about, and I thought it would be great to be able to save money by doing own nails. “As a nail technician or manicurist, you will trim and polish clients' nails, repair broken nails, and apply nail extensions. Additionally, you will assess the...

The decisions I make during my time in school will have a great impact in my success. Training: Enrolled in ITT-Tech I have made the decision to further my education and pursue a path to a new career. Having this opportunity has opened a door that has been closed to me for a long time. Taking on this responsibility I must complete all assignments on time and get good grades in my academics. After being approved to enroll in college next came the burden of financing my education as well as maintaining my personal finances. First I spoke with a loan officer to get approved for any Loans and/or Grants that I may qualify for. Then for my personal finances I’ve found ways to cut down on my spending, save as much as I can, and live within a budget. Last but not least is to find time for my classes and schedule time for homework and assignments. Keeping a planner makes it easier to keep track of my daily activities and schedule my appointments around my class schedule. Another way I can have extra time is to keep my vehicle in good running condition and keeping it current and up to date. To me the only way to earn a higher level of income is to obtain a higher level of education and continued education.

...helping your country, but also helping yourself! A scarcity in qualifications or jobs, can come from the fact that the occupation is new and very few people have studied to fill these posts. It can also happen that people have not chosen to study for the course and a scarcity developed in the job. Sometimes special experience is required, for example people with years of experience of management, or in other cases people are needed in certain towns, cities or geographical areas. Scarcity can also be in terms of equity, for example too few women enter into a specific career. 2 How can you benefit? Choose to study for a scarce skill. Not only will you be able to find a job more easily, but chances are that you will be paid better and progress to the top of your career path more easily, because employers will snap you up. Also, some qualifications are scarce all over the world, which means that opportunities open up for you much more easily. You can make an appointment with one of the Department’s careers counsellors to assist you to choose a scarce skill that will suit your abilities and interests. This will assist you to be really happy and more productive in your chosen career. This can lead to even more benefits for you, since you will give your best.

...it to break. I was taken to the doctor, who put a bright orange cast going from my wrist up to my shoulder. The whole experience of that day is a foggy memory; however, I remember distinctly how fascinated I was by the x-rays taken of my arm, and the machine’s ability to look inside of me. As I entered middle school, I developed a love for soccer. During a game, the ball was kicked high in the air, and an opponent and I collided trying to gain back its control. Unfortunately, the only thing I gained that day was my second broken arm. I was taken to the hospital and examined, again getting x-rays taken to determine the location of the break. As the doctor held up the x-ray to the light, a thousand questions came to my mind. “What bone is that?” “Where is the break?” “Why is the bone showing in the picture, but not the skin?” There were so many things I wanted to know; questions that I didn’t know how to ask at such a young age with my first broken arm. The doctors were all very nice, however, their answers might as well have been in French, because I had no idea what their anatomical lingo meant. At that time, I had no cares in the world and the last thing on my mind was a future career choice. In 2004, I attended college at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, with high hopes of becoming a career woman; unfortunately, I could not seem to find a career that interested me. I probably changed my major five times in the two years of my attendance. The hopes of future job...

...Anthony Marlene Frasca Human Resource Management CarMax Project CarMax is a relatively new company in an industry that basically did not exist before they were introduced and has become the United States largest used-car retailer changing the way cars are sold. The company is a Fortune 500 company and has been listed as “100 best companies to work for” ten years in a row (Forbes). Background and History of CarMax: Between the year 1990 and 1991, Circuit City executives Rick Sharp (CEO) and Austin Ligon (Vice President of Corporate Planning) led an effort to identify a new retail opportunity to extend Circuit City's growth into the next decade. They looked for a large retail category with no significant national competitors and unmet consumer needs. Extensive research showed an excellent opportunity existed in automotive retailing, especially in used cars. In December 1991, the Circuit City board committed $50 million to fund the development of the concept, as well as several prototype stores. In 1992 they tested the idea with a broad range of focus groups, where consumers said what they did not like about car shopping. The CarMax concept was thus refined and a business plan was developed. On September of 1993, Rick Sharp and Austin Ligon opened their first auto superstore, CarMax, with an inventory of 500 used vehicles. Their first car sold was a used 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee. A year later the two would open another CarMax in Raleigh, North Carolina and a year after that...
