Researching for the Career Project is both exhausting and challenging. There is limited resource and information on the subject and it is all divided up. I had to go to two libraries to find sufficient information to research on the topic. This is definitely one of the hardest projects I ever did. Choosing to do a research on a career can be a little easier to do when you have some or a general knowledge a particular field of work. There are many different types of jobs one can decide to undertake, one of which I decide to do research on is in the most popular line of work today: Computer Programming. The researching of this job was tiresome but I find it enjoyable even though it required a lot of patience and doing long and tedious work. .
WOIS definitely helped me significantly on choosing the career of my choice. The numbers of job offered on WOIS is immense. Therefore it can present me the job that suits me the most. I really liked the choices of jobs WOIS provided me with. Without WOIS, the career project would have been a lot tougher.
Section one of the Career Project was one of the tough spots of this entire project. I had to write a paper about what kind of jobs WOIS offered me with, do a comparison chart on all of the jobs I chose and research a little about them. This section was fun because I got to research the daily routine and the characteristics of the jobs I enjoyed. I learned a lot through research and found out I didn't like some jobs so much anymore. To research about the careers I choose I went to the school library and online career information sites. I found a couple books about computer programming and I found even more information about it on WOIS's job descriptions. There is a lot more information if you know where to look. Section one helps me discover a great deal about my careers.
Business letters was also an important part of the research for the Career Project. We were supposed to send business letter to career related firms and ask them to complete an enclosed survey.
