Giving advice on a career choice
Who asked for your opinion
I'm going to talk about a time when my younger cousin asked for my opinion regarding her career path. She's just about to finish high school and is at a crossroads in her life, trying to decide what to do next.
Why he/she wanted to know your opinion
She wanted to know my opinion because she knows that I have been through a similar situation not too long ago. I had to make a decision about whether to go to university or start working straight away, and she thought I could provide some valuable insights based on my own experiences.
What opinion you gave
I advised her to consider what she is truly passionate about and what she sees herself doing in the long term. I suggested that she should weigh the pros and cons of each option. For instance, going to university could provide her with more opportunities and a broader perspective, but starting work immediately could give her practical experience and financial independence. I also recommended that she talk to professionals in the fields she's interested in to get a better understanding of what those careers entail.
Explain how you felt when he/she asked for your opinion
I felt quite honored and pleased when she asked for my opinion. It made me realize that she values my thoughts and trusts my judgment, which was a nice feeling. It also made me reflect on my own decision-making process and how far I've come since then. I was glad to be able to help her in some way and hoped that my advice would assist her in making a decision that she would be happy with in the future. It was a rewarding experience to be able to support her during such an important time in her life.
給予職業選擇的建議
誰詢問了你的意見
我要談談我年輕的表妹曾向我詢問她的職業道路的時候。她即將完成高中學業,正處於人生的十字路口,試著決定接下來該怎麼做。
他/她為什麼想知道你的意見
她想知道我的意見,因為她知道我不久前也經歷過類似的情況。我必須做出是否上大學或直接開始工作的決定,她認為我可以根據自己的經歷提供一些有價值的見解。
你給了什麼意見
我建議她考慮自己真正熱愛的事物以及長期想要從事的工作。我建議她權衡每個選項的利與弊。例如,上大學可能會為她提供更多的機會和更廣闊的視野,但立即工作則可以讓她獲得實際經驗和經濟獨立。我還建議她與她感興趣的領域的專業人士交談,以更好地了解那些職業的內容。
解釋當他/她詢問你的意見時你的感受
當她詢問我的意見時,我感到非常榮幸和高興。這讓我意識到她重視我的想法並信任我的判斷,這是一種很好的感覺。這也使我反思自己的決策過程,以及自那以來我走了多遠。我很高興能夠在某種程度上幫助她,並希望我的建議能協助她做出一個將來會感到滿意的決定。在她人生中如此重要的時刻,能夠支持她是一個有意義的經歷。
