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. No, the job shadow I completed was not the same job that I did on my career PowerPoint. I was not able to set up a job shadow experience in my intended career field because there was no one to job shadow in that particular field of work. 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. No I do not plan to take a career in nursing, even after the wonderful experience I had with the lovely and talented Nurse Ferrand I still plan to purse my future in fashion.
