My Bad Habits

 One of my bad habits is forgetting how to cite my essays properly. Whenever the requirement comes up, I would have to research how to cite correctly for websites, books, articles, and in-text information. I review old essays, look at notes from English 101, read articles from online sources, or watch YouTube videos. It's always a struggle to remember this information after learning it each time. I realize this is an area I should work on. I'm currently studying to become a diesel mechanic, and these skills seem unnecessary. But one day, I know that I'll need this information. I understand that knowing how to cite information is essential in fields like journalism, academic research, or teaching English. Since I want to retain this information, I think one way to do that is to try writing an academic essay where proper citations are required. I could also write notes about citations and refer back to them as needed.

Future Presentations

I am currently in an apprenticeship with Empire Caterpillar, training to become a technician. As an apprentice, I don't do any public speaking, but I know I need to get good at public speaking in the future if I want to move up in the company. At Empire CAT, they have daily meetings where the shop lead announces what everyone is going to do throughout the day and discusses any concerns for the day. Additionally, we have weekly safety meetings, where the lead also discusses the safety topics for the week. So, if I ever want to become a lead for a shop, I need to practice public speaking or presentations. I do have to take a communication or public speaking class as it is a part of my pathway to graduate with an associate's degree in Caterpillar Technician Training.

Job Sites and Me

I have used Indeed to apply for jobs in the past, and I found it to be an excellent site for job searching. Indeed makes it simple to view jobs that are currently hiring. You can easily set your job preferences, including the type of roles you're looking for and your desired pay. The information about each job is clear and easy to understand. One of the best features is the ability to message employers quickly. You can save your resume and create a profile, so you don't have to keep entering your information every time you apply. Indeed also allows you to read reviews of companies, which can help you decide where to apply. Additionally, they offer job recommendations that match your skills and preferences. Overall, job sites like Indeed make applying for multiple jobs much more straightforward. They provide a simple way for you to find the right employers and find the right fit for your next job or career.
