For my chosen profession, business attire is most appropriate for an interview. A pencil skirt or slacks with a nice top and possibly a blazer or jacket with heels or flats is pretty much standard for professional work attire.
Communication, attitude, job qualifications, and appearance are the top four categories that employers look for when they interview you. I think that attitude is the most important category for employers when they interview you. If your attitude is poor, then they will not even worry about how you communicate or your qualifications for the job. I think that appearance is next, then communication, then qualifications.
The title of this article is “5 reasons your portfolio should be online” by George Couros. It is about the ways that society is changing and the ways that we need to adapt in order to have a better chance at finding careers. The five points that he stresses are: 1. The Google Factor 2. Searching and Organization 3. Anywhere, anytime, anyplace access 4. Creating opportunities instead of looking for them 5.

I need to remember that no employer will go out of their way to hire me because there are probably people out there who wanted it more. I have to be that person who wants it more. I will use this information to my advantage by making sure that what I have online is positive, staying organized, easy accessibility to my updated portfolio, and to always keep moving forward and learning from my past experiences. There is always something new to learn.

Being a waitress relates to being a statistician because you have to collect data, or orders, from people and analyze it. then you have to do the math when the check comes. Statisticians also have to analyze data and do math.
My least favorite task from the career that I selected is applying statistical theories and methods to solve practical problems in business, engineering, the sciences, or other fields. I like collecting and analyzing data, but not really determining what the data means. It isn't that bad, but it is the least enjoyable task of being a statistician to me. I will deal with it by learning to like these tasks over time.
Being a statistician is enjoyable. You can learn interesting things about the world. You can get paid to look at the answers of surveys and polls. Being a statistician is interesting because you can study data and how different people from different walks of life do things differently and what similarities they have.
