2. About Me
• I’m your average 17 year old.
• 5 foot 10 inches.
• I am athletic, and a hard worker.
• I work at a restaurant as a line cook, and
average around 35 hours a week.
• I am both a full time student, and a part-
time worker.

3. Continued
• I have found that my career choices are
more geared toward mechanical, and
hands-on type of work.
• I want to work out in the field, and be able
to see a different type of environment
each time, whether it is different people,
scenarios, or the actual area.

4. Foundation Building Blocks
• I would say my best traits are:
• Self-Esteem: I believe in myself.
• Decision-Making: I can evaluate a situation, and find out all
possibilities.
• Communication: I can easily talk, and entertain people that are
interested in my topic.
• I would like to work on a few traits as well:
• My Arithmetic/Math is something I feel I must work on, to improve
my ability to solve mathematical problems.
• Listening, which includes taking notes and visually paying attention
also is a weak point for me, I must be able to pay full attention to
accomplish jobs, and perform them flawlessly.
• The last, but very important trait would be computers, I feel that if I
want to advance in any career having a good knowledge of
computers, and having the ability to type fast would be a definite
advantage.

5. Lifestyle
• I want to have a job that I know I will
always have work, and be able to bring a
modest income that can support a family.
• Living in a house in a nice suburban area
is my goal, and to have a nice small
family.
• I want to be able to have a say in hours I
work, and be able to take off when I need
to.

6. Future
• I want to increase my education, and in
order to do so college is a must.
• I want to develop a stronger mathematical
spectrum, and be able to work with
numbers better.
• I hope that I can sway from the
mechanical aspects of work to a more
mental, and paperwork type of job over
time.

fact, I enjoy the time.
• This job fits in the realistic, and
entrepreneur side of my Holland code,
and is a good match
for me.
