Elevator Speech
Hi my name is Heather Dillingham, I’m a sophomore at Utah Valley University. I have been a full-time mother to two children for the past five years as well as a manager for a restaurant for a year and a half previous to that. Both jobs have given me time management, self-motivation, and people skills. I hope to be able to incorporate a family type lifestyle, community service and personal enjoyment in a career as a child care provider. I would use this speech as a description of myself at a job interview. I gave the speech to my husband; he thought it sounded professional and nice.

SWOT
Major: General Education, AS
Courses taken: English 1010, History 1700, Ethics and Values, Humanities 1010, General Biology 1010, Art 1120, Dance 1500, Math 1010, Math 1000, and Music 1900.
Courses needed: Summer 2010 CLSS 2100, Powertone GE, Women’s Safety Awareness Defense GE, Fitness for Life FE, Art 1010, & Math 1050. Fall 2010 DGM 1010 (Basic Computer Applications), English 2020, GEO 1080 (Intro. to Oceanography PP), Nutrition 1020, & Health 1100.
Strengths :
This major gives me a variety of classes to expand my learning skills.
I like the elective classes the best, but that is probably because there is the least amount of homework in them.
I will graduate within 26 credit hours.
This major fits just fine with my career plan of being a mother.
This major goes well with the skills that I have become I can pretty much choose the classes that I take.
I am passionate about finishing some type of degree, so I hope that this will fulfill that.
Weaknesses:
I don’t like the fact that I’m not getting a degree that focuses on one thing in particular.
Science and Math courses are challenging for me.
I have 1 ½ semesters until I am finished.
This degree will not prepare me for a future career.
I am commited to this degree because if I can find out what I really want to do it will only need a couple of extra classes to change to a more specific major. At least this way I’m doing something instead of nothing.
Opportunities:
With a general ed. degree I will have acquired organization skills, time management, social skills and adaptability. All of which are useful in everyday life as a mother.
I hope to gain a better understanding of the world around me and I hope that I can teach my children that knowledge and learning are important no matter what your occupation.
December 2010.
I have gone to see the counselors in this field and there is a vast amount of resources at my disposal to help me every inch of the way.
Threats:
Financing my education will not be a problem because I have had the opportunity to get full financing Pell Grants.
Having online classes has made it possible for me to be able to make time for young children, husband, house and school.
I would prefer other majors that require more on-campus or abroad tasks, but now is not the time that I can pursue that.

Personality/Interests Assesment
For this assignment, you will use the results from your Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Strong Interest Inventory (SII) assessments to determine some particular occupations and majors to research.
MBTI Report
1. List your reported type. (ISFP)
2. According to your report, what are some of the characteristics that best describe your personality type?
Great deal of warmth, but may not show it until they know a person well. Deepest feelings are seldom expressed: their inner tenderness is masked by a quiet reserve. In everyday activities they are tolerant, open-minded, flexible and adaptable. Have little wish to impress or dominate. They often excel in craftsmanship and the work of their hands is usually more eloquent than their words. They want to have a purpose beyond their paycheck no matter how big the check. May feel contrast between their inner ideals and their actual accomplishments that they burden themselves with a sense of inadequacy.
3. Refer to the list of the 50 most popular occupations page or go to http://www.careervoyages.gov/top50occupations-main.cfm Read the list of occupations, circle the ones that you would like to explore, and list them below.
Gardener, Tree trimmer, lawn service provider, child care provider, hairdresser.
4. How do you believe the occupations you have chosen to explore fit with your personality preferences? Explain how these occupations allow you to work in your preferred work environment.
I like to either do things one on one or alone and I love to be outdoors. Gardening and being with my kids are a couple of my favorite pastimes, so having a job where I could incorporate those things would make it perfect.

All the occupations fit with my small amount of risk taking.
