Research is an important part of determining a career choice. You want to know background
information on what you’re going to spend the rest of your life doing. The Internet is an
excellent resource to start with.
When I took the self evaluation quiz, I had career choices from bad breath doctor to a beekeeper. But a Pediatrician interested me the most because I am very interested in medical sciences and I love working with little kids.

Sample Thank You
Letter
Kristen Newton 8/9/2009
A letter of resignation is your way of informing your current employer that
you are leaving your current position. It should be short, polite, and explain that you are leaving the position. In addition,
your letter should be professional because this employer could be a
possible future reference. You will need to turn in this letter two weeks before
your resignation.
