Ideal Job

Introduction

My ideal job would be a job that helps present learning opportunities, enhance growth and ensures one’s contribution to the organization is perfect fit through skills and values possessed. An ideal job can be focused at from various aspects such as how personality is configured with the dream ideal job, whether the job makes a difference or even challenges of the job can enhance growth of an individual, the ability to do the work and deliver exceptional results would result to the job and its roles be an ideal job for an individual can help explore the ideal job (Porot, Daniel).

With a provision of a learning opportunity, growth and my contribution to the organization am working with, my ideal job would be a construction manager. This type of job and work is ideal as it would allow utilization of skills for making a positive difference in the society (Porot, Daniel) and with influence from working with my uncle as a roofer, I chose this career path. The roles associated with this job often develop with a challenge of activities in management that force me to grow. The skills and I pose are a perfect fit for the construction manager job with a forward-thinking and ambitious mind. The experience I have on the subject of construction has had me develop interests in this profession as I was a roofer at the age of 13, whereby I worked with my uncle who taught me what it takes to build a product from the ground to the roof and with an open mind and a good communicator in interaction with business gives me a base to work with the profession.

My ideal job is based on the construction industry specifically on the construction management profession, with interests of being a construction manager. As a construction manager is my ideal job, I have background information on its requirement and what it entails. The roles of a construction manager are majorly overseeing a construction project form the development stage up to completion. This I can manage as I have had experience working with my uncle as a roofer and was thought about how to build products from the ground to roof. As a manager, I would be expected to plan, budget, coordinate and supervise the construction projects. From the beginning to end this profession through planning to supervision requires the professional techniques to oversee process, design and actual construction.

The values of Jacobs Engineering Group Inc that seeks to tackle the world’s toughest challenges as they root for greater opportunities through construction in providing clean water, affordable energy, connectivity and enhance economic growth with consideration of the environment by avoiding pollution located in Houston, Texas (Sánchez, Bruno). I would be interested in working with them to be part of their great team of sharing ideas and values. At entry-level average salary prospects for an entry-level construction, the manager would be approximately $54,619 per year (Kerzner, Harold).

The three university majors am considering and quite interested in are Construction Science, Construction Management or Construction Trades (Arditi, David, and Polat,170). With top interest area being construction management that is a degree with laid down consistent works whereby as a student upon completion I will have learnt all skills and requirements that are needed to plan, design, manage and supervise a construction project from inception to completion. The skills learnt would include how to schedule, budget, manage materials for constructions and the people working on site. Learning of building codes, blueprints and managing of individual would be helpful in shaping my careers towards getting my dream job occupation and professionals may provide other useful information on the subject (Carpenter et. Al,375). Blueprint reading is rather a tough but exciting course in the major that helps in reading of the blocks, establishing the scales and locating of grids and doors which becomes an exciting event for this course. In consideration of having practical knowledge in this line of work and education, an internship is considered as integral and thus they are required. This will help students to get the hands-on experience which is an asset to the resumes (Sandoval, Amanda R).

In incorporating my career assessment into analysis I was a roofer when I was 13 years old, working with my uncle taught me a lot about construction and what it takes to build products from the ground to the roof and I’m communicative and open up to others to better interact in business-enhancing teamwork in an organization setting enhancing the performance and achieving of each one potential.

Graduate study is necessary and preferred especially for construction managers occupation. As the minimum requirement is often a bachelor’s degree for advanced positions candidates with a master’s degree are often considered. Masters degree is a graduate program that may not be required but is essential for the occupation. To increases chances of acceptance, one needs to be a holder of a bachelor’s degree or GPA and undertake and pass a standardized testing prerequisite (Arditi, David, and Polat,178). I went to a Camp activity for my major at Texas A&M and going there helped me learn about the major more and prove to me how much I would enjoy working in the construction field. Thus, influencing my decision to take this major.

From the research carried out of this major and through experiences and at a camp activity that I have been to overtime. I am more interested in going through to pursue this career option that demonstrated how I can really enjoy working in fields of construction. My knowledge and skills learnt from hands-on experience while working with my uncle as a roofer places me at a good position to utilize my skills as a construction manager at my dream firm
