  • Starting Your Own Business in High School

    Starting Your Own Business in High School

    Every year as soon as the weather is nice enough, young businesspeople begin to earn money at lemonade stands around the country while they also learn a bit about what it takes to work with products and customers. Later, in high school, students can learn many of the basics of running a business and possibly begin to earn money to use for university, trips to other countries, or special things that they want to buy.

    Running a lemonade stand is a relatively simple kind of business, with only one product and just a few ingredients. Running other businesses can be much more complicated, however, and they can take up a lot of time and effort. If you are considering starting a business, you should make sure that you want to spend hours every week building up the business, finding customers, and taking care of supplies and anything else that you need.

    Many different options are open for high school students who want to start a business. Lawn care and snow shovelling are good for people who like being outside, and pet sitting is good for anyone who likes animals. Other options include grocery delivery, house cleaning, technical support for computers, and even teaching. Almost any business is possible for people with the time and skills and imagination.

    If you have an idea that you could turn into a business, the first step is write out a business plan of what you want to do and how you intend to do it. This step involves doing research to find out about your possible customers, the costs of your materials or tools, and anything else that you need to know. You will need to decide whether to work with another person or alone and make many more decisions about how to run your new business.

    Even if you end up working alone at your business you can get help in setting it up and getting it established. Some universities and other schools offer summer programs for students to learn how to become entrepreneurs, and information is always available at business centres and schools. Taking courses in business management is a good idea, even if you still have several years to go before you finish high school.

    Knowing the technical and financial aspects of running a business is important, but knowing how to deal with people is also essential. Most business programs include advice on business etiquette and customer relations techniques that can help business owners to deal with customers without driving them away. You can also learn some of these techniques on your own or by talking with established business owners.

    Do you have a business idea that you would like to pursue? Maybe you can already start, even in high school or earlier. You never know what might develop in the future, and even a bad experience can help you learn what you need to know to become a successful business owner.

  • Getting Ready for Back-to-School

    Getting Ready for Back-to-School

    Tips for making a smooth transition out of summer:

    Summer is a wonderful time: long lazy days filed with sunshine, amusement park rides, and drippy ice cream cones. With all that loveliness, it’s easy to get swept up in the fun and forget that, however unfortunately, every summer comes to an end.

    Back-to-school is just around the corner, and surely, many of you are already excitedly counting down the days (right?) But even if you’re dreading the thought of being back in a classroom and doing (groan) homework, it’s better to be prepared when September rolls around.

    Here are some suggestions for getting organized and on top of things so that you can smooth the transition between summer and the school year. (Hint: your parents can help you with some of these, too.)

    Befriend your bedtime

    Chances are you’ve been sleeping in a lot since the summer started, and it’s great that you’ve been getting some extra rest. But the school day starts bright and early, so make sure you can wake up on time while still getting the sleep you need. During the last two weeks of August, you can gradually adjust your schedule to fit an earlier bedtime—and earlier wake-up. Every couple days, try setting your alarm clock 10 minutes earlier than the last.

    Lunch and learn

    You might need a packed lunch when school starts, and why bore yourself with PB&J every day? Go through some recipe books with your parents and put together a list of lunches that are healthy, easy to make, and delicious. Preparing lunch the night before can be a fun activity if you do it as a family, and with a shortlist handy, you’ll have something to look forward to on every school day.

    Shop savvy

    Back-to-school sales can offer some great bargains, but they can also be chaotic if you don’t have a game plan. Be prepared for your shopping day by looking through your school supplies now and making a clear list of what you need. If there’s anything you can buy early (and that won’t be cheaper around Labour Day), take the time to go shopping before the crowds hit the stores.

    Goals and dreams

    You had a fantastic time all summer, and now it’s time to get back to work. Think about all the things you enjoyed in the last school year, and what you want to try in the coming months. For example, if you didn’t try out for a sports team and regretted it all year, why not give it a shot this time around? By picking a few things to look forward to in the coming school year, by the end of the summer, you’ll be well rested and ready for action.

  • Careers in Environmental Science

    Careers in Environmental Science

    Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary approach to studying how humans, animals, and the environment interact with one another. Most studies in environmental science combine physical, biological, and information sciences, and use both applied and theoretical scientific approaches to study and solve environmental problems such as sustainable resource management, ecology, pollution and recycling, renewable energy, and climate change.

    Many excellent career opportunities exist across Canada for men and women studying the environmental sciences. Most jobs require at minimum a one-to-three year college or technical school program, with some opportunities requiring a university Bachelor’s degree or higher. These are only a few of the broad range of careers included in the field of environmental science, and there is lots of room to specialize in what interests you the most, through your choice of education, and your choice of work experiences.

    Careers at the college level can include:

    Geological/Mineral/Petroleum Technologists and Technicians work primarily for mineral and petroleum mining companies and refineries, and companies involved in metal ore extraction and production. They can also consult for engineering firms, governments, and educational institutions. They complete tasks such as performing geological surveys and analyzing the data or samples, supervise mining and drilling operations, and help develop new technologies that serve the industry.

    Water Treatment, Recycling, and Waste Plant Operators work primarily at municipal, industrial, or institutional water, recycling, and waste treatment plants, to operate the computer control systems that regulate the treatment and disposal of water, garbage, recyclables, and other waste.

    Forest and Fishery Conservation Officers protect Canada’s fish, wildlife, and natural resources by enforcing federal and provincial regulations. This job can include plant and animal growth or population surveys, public awareness education, overseeing licensing for hunting and fishing, and investigating violations.

    Forestry Technologists and Technicians are involved in the research, management, harvest, and conservation of Canada’s forests and woodlands, and can work independently or be employed by the logging industry and government agencies.

    Careers at the University level can include:

    Natural Science Policy Researchers and Consultants engage in research, write reports, and give advice regarding corporate or government policy involving scientific progress in fields such as renewable and non-renewable energy, sustainability and environmental impact, scientific patents, resource management, and recycling programs.

    Inspectors in Environmental Health and Safety monitor and enforce government health and safety regulations for facilities such as industrial establishments, municipal outdoor parks and recreation areas, or water and waste treatment systems, ensuring that sanitation, pollution control, and the handling or storage of hazardous materials is performed safely for people and the environment.

    Meteorologists and Climatologists study Earth’s weather, climate, and atmosphere to offer advice on, and forecast, weather occurrences, air quality, climate change, and other atmospheric phenomenon. They are usually employed by Environment Canada or other government agencies, the military or utility companies.

    If you decide to pursue further education, there are also many opportunities in Canada and internationally, in fields such as environmental law and ethics, environmental economic analysis and development, or working with Environment Canada to develop provincial and national environmental policies and procedures.

  • Career Profile: Small Engine Mechanic

    Career Profile: Small Engine Mechanic

    A Small Engine Mechanic repairs and services small gasoline and diesel-powered equipment such as lawn mowers, motorcycles, boats, zero-turn mowers, snow mobiles, garden tractors and chainsaws. Mechanics can specialize in generators and power sports motors that include outboard motors, ATVs and dirt bikes.

    Typical responsibilities include prioritizing work orders, inspecting and testing engines, estimating repair costs, diagnosing and isolating faults as well as adjusting and replacing parts. Customer service is an important role for the mechanic. They advise customers on the work performed and show them how to take care of the equipment.

    No day is routine in the life of a Small Engine Mechanic. In the morning, either the mechanic or foreman reviews and prioritizes the work orders. The day can start with a simple problem such as an oil change and end with a highly complex problem such as the motor not starting due to a carburetor problem.

    To be a successful mechanic, you need a strong mechanical and electrical aptitude as well as excellent problem solving abilities. You need to figure out if the problem is as simple as needing an air filter change or as complicated as the engine suddenly stopped running. Good manual dexterity is a must since you’ll manipulate a lot of small parts and use a variety of tools.

    You may get a customer like me who knows absolutely nothing about machinery and they may not explain the problem properly. They may just tell you “my lawnmower won’t start” which doesn’t say much, so you need imagination to picture what could have happened. For example, did the customer neglect or abuse it? Did they fill the machinery while the engine was running? Or did they use it improperly? Answers to questions like these will help you diagnose the problem.

    The job of a Small Engine Mechanic is very cerebral because you have to focus on a lot of detail for complex tasks like taking a carburetor apart. A carburetor has a lot of small parts. If you take it apart in the wrong order or get the parts mixed up, you may have a very hard time putting it back together and your carburetor could end up like Humpty Dumpty who fell of the wall.

    If you’re in high school, you can take courses in electronics, mechanics, business math and science to prepare for a Small Engine Mechanic career. You can get experience by working part-time or during the summer at a mechanic shop then further your education in a certificate program at your local college.

    Most Small Engine Mechanics work full time during regular business hours, but they may work more hours during peak times. Employers who hire mechanics include shops, marinas, motor vehicle dealers, garages, boatyards, equipment rental companies, wholesale distributors, and parts dealers. An experienced Small Engine Mechanic can earn about $59,288 or $16.50 per hour.

    If you’re mechanically inclined, practical and love problem solving, a Small Engine Mechanic career may be a step in the right direction for you.

  • La vie en communauté: Étudiez-vous seul ou en groupe?

    Des méthodes d’études efficaces sont essentielles pour apprendre à partir de vos lectures de cours, vos devoirs et vos cours. Afin de pleinement bénéficier de votre temps d’étude, il est utile de connaître quelle est la meilleure façon pour vous d’étudier et le moyen par lequel vous apprenez le mieux : soit seul ou en groupe.

    Vous préférez peut-être étudier seul si vous travaillez mieux dans un endroit tranquille où il y a un minimum de distractions et d’interruptions afin de concentrer toute votre attention sur les sujets que vous révisez. Vous apprenez peut-être mieux la matière en y réfléchissant profondément par vous-même, et en effectuant des recherches de manière indépendante lorsque vous n’êtes pas sûr de la réponse.

    Si vous étudiez en groupe, vous préférez probablement être en mesure de discuter de la matière qui est plus difficile à saisir, de poser des questions lorsque celle-ci vous laisse perplexe, et d’expliquer les choses aux autres pour avoir le sentiment d’avoir bien maîtrisé la matière devant vous. Vous aimez peut-être prendre des tours à se poser des questions sur la matière pour savoir si vous l’avez bien comprise, et de pouvoir occasionnellement prendre des pauses pour se changer les idées, et de socialiser ensemble d’une manière qui ne tourne pas autour des études.

    Peu importe vos méthodes, votre priorité principale doit toujours être d’étudier de la façon qui vous permet d’avoir la meilleure compréhension de la matière. Quelle que soit la manière que vous préférez étudier, il y a des bénéfices à employer parfois une méthode alternative – diversifiez.

    Si vous trouvez que vos sessions d’études en groupe deviennent de plus en plus des moments pour socialiser plutôt que de terminer votre travail, ou que les membres du groupe veulent se concentrer sur de la matière que vous avez déjà maitrisée, passer du temps à étudier seul est une bonne idée. Une solution serait que chaque personne du groupe passe à travers la matière qui leur présente des difficultés, pour ensuite se rejoindre au groupe pour réviser ensemble. De cette façon, vous pouvez vous concentrer de façon indépendante sur ce que vous devez apprendre, et plus tard participer à une révision générale en groupe interactive.

    Inversement, si en étudiant seul vous sentez que vous ne comprenez pas entièrement la matière, que vous avez de la difficulté à trouver la bonne réponse ou méthode par vous-même, ou que le volume de travail est extrêmement lourd et commence à devenir accablant, il est peut-être temps d’étudier en groupe. Vous pouvez bénéficier de pouvoir discuter à propos de la matière difficile avec les autres, ou de partager le volume de travail, ainsi que la tâche de prendre des notes, avec quelques-uns de vos amis dignes de confiance, pour ensuite tenir des sessions régulières pour échanger et réviser toutes vos notes.

    Des bonnes habitudes d’études à l’école deviennent ensuite des bonnes habitudes au travail, donc en apprenant tôt la meilleure manière pour vous d’étudiez et le moyen par lequel vous apprenez le mieux, ceux-ci seront reflétés dans n’importe quelle carrière que vous entrepreniez dans le futur.

Summer school and alternative studying throughout the summer can be an option for students still needing credits and help to boost grades.

    The summer is a time for fun, but it can also be a time for focus. Don’t forget everything you just absorbed from the previous school year- let it help you in other areas of your life. Try out some new jobs and volunteering positions this summer; this might be the summer you decide what career path you will take on. Every spare minute during the summertime is valuable and should not be taken for granted. Even though the school year is over, Jobs People Do still has some awesome articles and links for you to check out including Babysitting tips, career profiles, summertime events in Toronto, nature watch events, personal budgeting tips, new scholarships and grants from July-September, and fun projects to do over the summertime ( just to name a few!)

  • Profil de carrière: assistant d’achats personnels

    Certaines personnes adorent magasiner, soit seul ou avec des amis. D’autres, par contre, trouvent le processus très épuisant ou ennuyeux, ou elles pourraient simplement être trop occupées pour consacrer du temps au magasinage; ces personnes ont besoin d’un assistant d’achats personnels.

    Supposez que vous entrez dans un magasin afin de trouver un cadeau pour un ami ou un membre de votre famille. Peut-être que vous savez déjà ce que vous voulez acheter, ou peut-être que quelqu’un vous a donné des conseils sur quoi acheter. Les assistants d’achats personnels apprennent sur les choses que les gens veulent, et ensuite essayent de les aider à trouver celles-ci, soit en leur disant où ils peuvent les trouver, ou en sortant au magasin pour acheter ces items eux-mêmes.

    La première étape dans le travail d’un assistant d’achats personnels s’agit normalement d’apprendre à connaître les besoins et les souhaits de leurs clients. Une rencontre initiale avec le client est nécessaire afin que l’assistant sache quelles sortes d’items acheter ou recommander. Certains assistants d’achats personnels travaillent pour des grands centres commerciaux ou d’autres types de magasins, tandis que d’autres établissent leur propre entreprise.

    Un grand nombre d’assistants d’achats personnels travaillent dans un domaine particulier, tel que l’achat d’aliments ou les outils de jardin. Un type courant d’achats personnels est de faire l’épicerie pour les personnes plus âgées, ou ceux qui éprouvent des difficultés à marcher ou à transporter des objets lourds. L’assistant d’achats personnels s’informe auprès de son client à l’égard de ses allergies, goûts, et tous autres éléments qui pourraient être importants, et par la suite se rend au magasin pour acheter ces aliments pour ensuite les livrer au domicile du client. Parfois, l’assistant d’achats personnels amène le client avec lui afin de regarder ce qui est disponible au magasin, mais pas habituellement.

    Dans de nombreux cas, travailler en tant qu’assistant d’achats personnels peut s’agir d’un travail quotidien ou hebdomadaire, mais dans certains cas, il peut s’agir d’un événement spécial, tel que magasiner pour un mariage ou une réunion de famille. Les assistants d’achats personnels ont besoin de garder une trace de tous leurs clients, et d’être capable de se rappeler ce que chaque client veut. La capacité de travailler avec l’argent est essentielle, et avoir des connaissances sur les différentes marques, couleurs, décors et motifs est utile.

    Devenir un assistant d’achats personnels requiert typiquement de l’expérience, mais aucune éducation particulière. La plupart des employeurs sont plus susceptibles de favoriser quelqu’un qui tient un diplôme d’études secondaires. Ces types d’assistants devraient être capables de suivre les dernières tendances à la mode en faisant des recherches à travers la lecture ou en cherchant des informations en consultant les gérants de magasins.

    Les salaires pour les assistants d’achats personnels peuvent grandement varier en fonction d’où ils travaillent. Au Canada, le salaire moyen pour les personnes qui pratiquent cette carrière est d’environ 25,000$ par année, mais certains assistants d’achats personnels peuvent gagner 100,000$ et plus. La plupart des individus qui souhaitent faire ce travail commencent par travailler dans un magasin où ils apprennent sur les différents produits vendus et à travailler avec le publique. À mesure qu’ils acquissent de l’expérience, ils auront les compétences nécessaires afin de pouvoir devenir des assistants d’achats personnels pour des magasins bien établis ou pour commencer leur propre entreprise.

    Aimez-vous magasiner avec vos amis ou votre famille? Avez-vous un talent pour savoir ce que les gens aiment et ce qui leur convient bien? Si c’est le cas, pourquoi pas envisager une carrière en tant qu’assistant d’achats personnels?
