Reflection Questions
Directions: Answer the following questions about your job shadowing
experience using complete sentences. Be thorough in your answers as some
of your answers may be incorporated in your senior portfolio presentation
speech and or final reflection paper.
1. Was the job shadow you completed the same career field you
identified in your career PowerPoint? If you completed the experience
in another field, explain why there was a need to change career fields.
(i.e., I was not able to set up a job shadow experience in my intended
career field
OR After taking a closer look at the field, I found that I was more
interested in). No, the job shadow that I completed was not the
same as the career field I identified in my power point. Senior
technologist is the proper job title which I shadowed, after taking being
directly involved in the IT field I was mo0re interested in computer
problem solving.
2. As a result of your job shadow experience, are you still planning to
pursue the same career or has the experience led you in a new
direction? Explain. As a result of my job shadow experience I have
discovered that I am more interested in the IT department now that I
am aware of their daily activities.
3. During your job shadow, what skills did you observe that are needed to
be proficient at this career? The skills that I observed to be an affective
IT specialist were: problem solving, communication, improvisation
skills.
4. What activities and or duties did you like/dislike about the experience?
The duties that I enjoyed were activating computers, and connecting
the employees to the proper software.

5. Do you see yourself doing this job for the duration of your working
career? (i.e., 15 to 20 years in the same field) I can see myself in this
career choice for fifteen to twenty years, for the industry is for every
changing, and as technology increases there will be more
responsibilities, so the industry will be a secure and safe industry to
peruse.
6. Aside from academic preparation in school, what are some other things
that you can do in order to prepare for your intended career field?
Aside from academic preparation in school, some other things that I
can do to prepare myself for this career are: setting up websites for
friends and family, and free-lance computer work for small businesses.
7. Are there any important tips and or advice you were given by your
mentor concerning your career field? My mentors advice to me way
that I should enhance my communication skill with strangers, and must
work on my critical thinking skills.
8. Considering everything you have learned, what is the most valuable
lesson you have learned from your job shadowing experience, and how
will this help you to move forward in your intended career field? The
most valuable lesson that I have learned from working as an IT
specialist was good communication skills, great people skills, and the
ability to solve multiple problems in a short time frame. Once I have
mastered the necessary with the skills mentioned above I should be
able to further achieve my goals and master the art being a Senior
Technologist Specialist.
