What ever I do I’m gonna ROCK! It’s important that whatever career you choose, you do your very best and be the best you can be. Steve Jobs founder of Apple Inc spoke to students with this message. “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice”. Copyright My. Profile Pty Ltd

How we discover your style My. Career. Match is a personality type survey based on understanding human behaviour. Although we are all different we can predict how people behave by asking them questions about how they like to do things, and analysing their answers. People are born with a specific personality style. There are no styles that are better or worse; just different. Each style has its own unique strengths and potential weaknesses. What’s important when choosing a career is to choose one that uses your strengths, and the things you’re good at; not the things you’re not good at. Choosing a career that matches who you are is one of the most important discoveries you can make about yourself that will change your life forever! Copyright My. Profile Pty Ltd

Harry Potter – four school houses Most high schools have four houses and so does Hogwarts School of Witchcraft. When students arrive they have the ‘sorting hat’ placed on their heads.

Promoter John a Promoter John is more spiritual, speaks of divine relationships and of a higher place. John’s prominent ideas are “glory & life”. His message, “affection for Christ”.
