Describe your job story:
 I APPLIED FOR A JOB WITH THE COMPANY JUST A BIT BEFORE I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE. I'VE BEEN WORKING THERE EVERY SINCE SEASONALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AS A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE, I KNOW HAVING A DEGREE GETS YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR WITHOUT ANY EXPERIENCE. EDUCATION IS REWARDED. THE JOBS I HAVE HAD SO FAR OFFERED TRAINING, NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WAS NECESSARY. I'M ACTUALLY IN TRAINING RIGHT NOW. I WOULD SAY JUST COME WILLING TO LEARN A NEW PROCESS, A NEW WORK ENVIRONMENT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO MOVE UP AND AROUND WHERE I WORK, IN FACT IT IS ENCOURAGED. SOME MANAGERS EVEN PASS AROUND THE WEEKLY INTERNAL JOB ANNOUNCEMENTS. I DON'T FEEL LIMITED WORKING FOR THE COMPANY WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

What did you want to be when you were a child/ teenager?
I DON'T RECALL HAVING A BIG DREAM AS A CHILD OR TEENAGER. ALTHOUGH, I FAINTLY REMEMBER WANTING TO BECOME A BALLERINA.

Are doing your dream job? NO

What do you like MOST about what you do?
CONSIDERING I'M STILL IN TRAINING, I LIKE INTERACTING WITH MY COWORKERS.

What do you like the LEAST?
I'M NOT SURE THIS IS THE AREA I WANT TO STAY IN, I STILL WANT TO WORK FOR THE COMPANY THOUGH.

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFICS IN MIND AS OF YET...I PLAN TO BE EVEN MORE FINANCIALLY CAPABLE THOUGH. I KNOW MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING BUT I THINK "WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF IT WASN'T A CONSIDERATION?" I HAVE A POSITIVE OUTLOOK :) .

Are you happy with where you are in life?
 I THINK WHERE I AM IS A GOOD START FOR ME...

What more do you want to do with your life?
I WANT TO BE APART OF SOMETHING GREAT, WORK WITH SOMEONE GREAT REALLY....
What drives/motivates you?
SUPPORTING, ASSISTING, & HELPING OTHERS...I KNOW THOSE WORDS CAN BE INTERCHANGEABLE BUT THEY EACH CONVEY SOMETHING DIFFERENT WHEN LOOKED AT CLOSELY.

What else do you do?
RIGHT NOW I'M GENERATING IDEAS FOR A SHORT STORY, PERHAPS A NOVEL. STAY TUNED... :) .

What is your advice to those who are seeking employment and have no hope? REMAIN FOCUSED ON YOUR GOALS. WHAT SMALL THING CAN YOU DO TODAY TO GET CLOSER TO ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS? SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO STEP AWAY FROM THE BIG PICTURE AND WORK ON THE INDIVIDUAL STEPS TO GET THERE. DON'T OVERWHELM YOURSELF UNNECESSARILY. CONSIDER A DIFFERENT APPROACH.
