Becoming a Software Developer

When someone goes into the field of software development it is almost definite that a bachelor’s degree is the minimum level of education needed. The great thing is that no matter what you major you choose in a bachelors program, whether it be Psychology, English, Art History, if you decide to make a life change the minimum requirement will be several certificates! Essentially one should have the program? A+ which covers basic computer knowledge. There are certifications for development as well. The Java certification, for example, is a great accomplishment to have under your belt. Switching departments within a company once you are established is much easier. Not to mention the fact that prior experience in IT can help you get into a software developer position. My one concern for development is that it is more project based. That is something to keep in mind, so if you're someone who likes daily routine tasks then it might not be a good idea. You will be ...

Food=Culinary Arts

I have worked in a Korean restaurant as a runner/busboy for almost 3 years now. Let me tell you that it is not a walk in a park. As a runner, there are many responsibilities I must execute in a days work. I complete daily routine cleaning of the restaurant, help the waiters bring food to the costumers table,occasionally prepare food and making drinks. In addition, I sometimes have to close the restaurant independently. Although it is hard work, I am one step closer to achieving my dreams to become a culinary master?. Occasionally, I go downstairs to the restaurant kitchen so I can watching the chef cook. At times, my chef will teach me how to make popular dishes and then I try to create it on my own. The more I practice the better I will become! Chef Ramsay says "If a chef can make a good scramble egg then you know that person can cook" Johnny Khem  

Srping Job Fair Readiness

Job fairs bring together job seekers and employers with opportunities available within their organizations. Over the years, it has become one of the leading means for entry-level recruiting, giving employers the opportunity to meet job seekers, and to get firsthand knowledge about them through their appearance and first impressions. Job fairs are opportunities for job seekers to make a positive impression on employers that they might have selected. When attending a job fair, the first impression you can make on the employers is by the way you present yourself. Appearance is a big deal! The way you dress, and the way you carry yourself at the job fair tells the employers more than your personal pitch. At a job fair, because of the different types of job opportunity available dressing to suit all of them is a plus. Dressing for the job fair in professional attire is best, suits and dress shoes are required and for men ties are a must! Some things to avoid are high heavy perfumes, ...

Binary Code

I, like most others believe the computer is one of the greatest phenomenon. It really is amazing how a processor can input and output a series of binary numbers of 0’s and 1’s in order to accomplish tasks from displaying simple text, to generating a video game. Binary number is exactly what it sounds like. It is a set of 2 numbers (0,1) which the computer processor "understands",  through the different series of numbers and patterns it can output anything. Of course, as a user, we do not generally see these numbers, we get the end result which is program itself. On the developer side, however, there is somewhat of a closer connection. We have programming languages; using Java, C++, Python etc. We write out code using the appropriate syntax for the computer to process, the computer reads our language as a source code, which converts it to binary numbers and produces an output. Its amazing how technology has grown over the decades. Maybe in several thousand years things ...

Interest, Values, and Abilities packet response

This packet helped me get an idea of what interest and values I have for my career. My future career is in the FBI or as a professional baseball player. In the packet, I learned that the interest abilities and values I have for being a professional baseball player also apply to the FBI. For example, for baseball I played shortstop, centerfield and pitcher. In the infield, the shortstop is the captain. In the outfield, the centerfielder is the captain. Everyone knows the pitcher controls the game so that gives me leadership skills. As both an FBI agent and a baseball player I have speed, I can make good decisions, and I’m a quick thinker. In baseball, when you’re down to a close game there is no time for error. You can’t think twice about anything. For example, when its bases loaded, no outs and you have to decide, if the ball is hit to you, where to throw you can’t think twice you have to throw. Some of the values that I have for my future career are that it has to give me pressure b...
