Possible Career Questions

Here are a few guiding questions for your interview/job shadow. Most people enjoy talking about their careers.
It makes most adults feel good that young people are eager and interested in learning about what they do. If
possible get input from more than one person for each career of interest. This avoids the risk of screening out a
career due to tainted feedback from an adult that is having a particularly good or bad day.
How and why did you choose this career?
had always wanted to work with kids , and I felt it was meant for me.
What is a typical work day like?
I start by going to work around 7 am and organizing activities to do with the kids. There is breaks for the kids
and we let them decide which activities to do. Then at lunch they go home and a new group of kids show up for
the afternoon.

I find it most rewarding when the kids leave happy and it least rewarding when its chaotic and my hard work
isnt appreciated.
What are the working conditions like (stress, pace, physical comfort, travel, environment, relocation, hours,
routine vs. crises, etc.)?
It is stressful and at times exhausting looking after so many children. Its good hours . I dont have to travel. I
own my own business so I have made the working conditions work for me,
What education requirements are needed for your career? What Post-secondary Institutions do you
recommend for this occupation?
There is a 16 month training program, first aid course. I went to the Okanagan College and it was good.

differently?

really dont know.

Yes, I have a lot of time for my family.
