The Money Jobs

Hello,

I am so excited right now. If you are reading this book that I have been talking about my past two posts, you might have passed that chapter, or you haven’t reached there as yet. Being adolescence or a teenager, I am sure you would remember you wanted to become a professional who earn millions and millions of dollars. Well, in the book “CHA-CHING” by Andrew Grinbaum, he list a number of professions that intake millions of dollars in one’s yearly earning. Do you remember the jobs we usually hear about as kids, and you always wanted to be a Doctor, Accountant, Lawyer etc. Well, Grinbaum shared his side of story how he heard about wealthy occupations. Also, he shared how his surrounding was filled with wealthy professionals and I think this is surrounding had a good effect on his life in becoming successful.

As I turned the pages of this book, I came upon a list of career that earns up to 100k yearly I suppose. As I looked through the list, I saw some occupations I used to talk about, but I change it because of how young I was and understanding what they did was very difficult. I told myself, let me go look if the career field that I am heading towards now is in there, it was. I want to become a HR manager or a Hotel manager. Some of the popular careers he listed were Accountant, Biochemical engineer, Computer engineer, Dentist, Financial Analyst and the list goes on.

In the previous chapter, I talked about how the book gave us an idea in researching on the fantasy job that you would like to work in or a specific company you would like to work for. There is a chapter in the book, where he gives a simple formula in getting an interview. He start out by using a specific career, and you’re supposed to carry out a research on that career and see who is hiring. I supposed you already know what the expectations of the occupation you choose are. He suggested that you should write down the names of the companies that you find that are hiring, this include the address, telephone number everything that is important to gain contact.

Even if these company are not hiring, you need to take down there information. Because what Grinbaum have to tell you can be worth it. For the companies that are looking, apply, but for the ones that are not just keep the information because there is something called “informational interview aka info view” where it is and interview set up by you to ask a representative of the company questions about the company for you to learn more about the company, and also for them to know about you and your interest.

Doing an info view will bring attention to you if you are not lucky getting a job from the ones that you apply for, and the company you did your info view with could be looking for you to be their new employee. This is just like doing an internship were if you mark your spot on that company, and you keep writing them, not by email preferred, you are likely to have a spot save for you after graduating.  Also, info view, and internship are contributors to networking.
