I got CEO and I think that I agree with this result. I think that I have most of the qualities required for that post, plus I always wanted to be in control. I don’t want to have a boring and repetitive life; I love to take risks. I’m pretty innovative, I always find a way to solve the problems I face. Also, a good CEO has to be communicative with his team members and make them feel comfortable, and that’s a thing I’m good at. The most important thing is that I’ll have to take the decisive decisions by myself, and I’m more comfortable with that because when it comes to important choices I don’t like to let others decide instead of me. At the end, I think that even though being a CEO is a risky job, I would still go for it .
ReplyDeleteI think you are correct; good communication skills are critical for CEOs.
DeleteMy result is “social worker, judge”, because I’m a “justice seeker” and a “giver”, and because I “spend more time thinking about others than about myself”. I think this is true, I’ve always been dying for justice, I love justice, and I hate injustice. Moreover, I think equality is not always justice, it’s all about justice, not equality. Furthermore, another part of the result I got is that I just want what I do to help others, this is so accurate : if what I do don’t help people in some way, I feel so useless, I want people to look at me and say “she’s so kind, so helping, and so loving” instead of saying “she’s beautiful”, that means so much to me, because “beautiful” is a lazy way to definite people. In addition, I think that to be a good person is, first of all, to burn yourself to give light others, and second of all, I also think that the sign of a good person is that they always see the good part of others. Another reason why I think the result I got is accurate is because since I’m young I’ve been hating injustice, and I grew up with the feeling that the world we live in is the world of injustice, and I always wanted to change things, to change the situation of oppressed people, and that still means a lot to me. I want people to speak about me after my death as the girl who gave her life for justice, who changed things, not as the girl who was “rich” or “beautiful” or anything else. Also, I want to live in such a way that if someone said bad things about me, no one would believe what he says. This is the kind of life and work I aspire to, so I’m pretty satisfied about the result I got.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd be a great judge, advocate, or lawyer. You are a good writer, and you are a good critical thinker.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the Buzzfeed test, my future job should be astronaut. I am an adventurous person and I like to take challenges, also, I am very observant and curious, that’s why astronaut should be a good career choice. I look very closely to things and I look at them by another manner than the others. I’d love to be an astronaut, it’s an amazing job that very few persons can access, it’s also very difficult and I don’t have the courage to do it! Astronauts can be send for many years in the space, with very difficult life conditions, like the feeds or the lack of oxygen. I am very close to my family so this job will destroy me in the inside! It’s impossible for me to live more than one month without seeing my family, it’s a challenge that I can’t take, even if it’s an entertaining job. My kind of job seems to be financial things. I’d love to work in a financial company, a bank or insurance! My dream job would be in the management control. It’s my dream since my cousin did his own accounting firm. I went one day in internship to see how the company works and it was by far the best experience in my life! I really loved how they work. It’s another world full of strategies, methods and risks. You have to be really concentrated and aware of the risks to work like that. It’s a thrilling adventure day and night. I know that I’ll have to sacrifice a part of my life to work at this rhythm but it’s a good compromise.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know what you might like. You might be a good actuary. These are people who access risk management. Consider this!
DeleteMy future is still so vague, undefined and vacant. And I never thought or believed that a quiz can define what my career will look like. My result was that I’d rather be an athlete; based on how I prefer team work and that I prefer loyalty besides all the qualities. To be honest, I love being on a basketball team, how they do support each other, fight for the same goal and the fusion that they share between them. Moreover the test’s result say that I’m excited by challenges, which is totally true. To be honest, what push me in life and make me adore, love and consume it are the challenges I put myself in. But the thing is that the real challenge for me is to become an engineer. Since I’m a creative person, being an engineer suits me better than being an athlete. And I want live with a career that will push me to use my mind then my body. I do want have solutions to solve and plans to make. In the other hand, team work is also knows in a company between engineers. To sum up the quiz gave a good description but he just didn’t put me in the right career, my dream career.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'd make a good engineer who works on or invest athletic equipment for companies like Nike, Reebok, or Adidas. It's the best of both worlds!
DeleteLeadership or vice president is one of those powerful
ReplyDeletepositions in our society . It demands many traits to be a good
leader ;however, I think that I’m qualified to be a succeful vice
president .First, Im honest, and honesty makes you a credible and
trustworthy person to the employees . In addition , I’am
respectful , so i will respect and traits all people no matter was
there station in life .Plus, I’am a very passionate person;as a
result, I will be passionate whatever I’am doing even breathing .
Furthermore, I have an exellent persuasion abilities ,so the clients
or employees will believe in me . Moreover, I’m fearless I’m not
afraid to take risks .In conclusin , I’am very careful not only about
work but also about the others .
We need more women leaders in the world. Also, you can speaker fluent Arabic, French, and English, so you'd make a good diplomat or UN representative. I'd vote for you!
DeleteI was a bit shocked when I saw the result because they told me that I’m an artist. Actually, I’m not interesting in it, and I have no ideas about it. I total disagree with what they said because everything relate with arts I dislike at all. However, I’m interesting in everything relate with business it can be selling or buying it doesn’t matter. The importance that I’m in domain that I really like even though it is a very huge field but that what makes it interesting. Actually I’m the kind of people that I love taking risk and special about something very important and special in business which everything rely on some major decision. Besides, this why I choose to study business administration at AUI. Ultimately, choosing the domain that you like is the essential thing for you career.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'd be good at working on the more creative side of a technical field like marketing or advertising.
DeleteI got an astronaut as a result; they say that I can be a researcher or a teacher too. This is quite funny because back in the past I had this idea in mind, but as time went by I figured out that this is a tough job not only because of the studies and time that it takes to be an astronaut but also for the lifestyle you might lead. You won’t have any social interactions. Plus you can say goodbye to your social life that you already have your as well as. And you won’t be a part of your family anymore. Being out in the middle of nowhere for years might seem ok at first. But as the years are going you will surely get depressed especially if you aren’t into that job. Being an astronaut is a whole way of life not only a regular job like a doctor or teacher. It’s not like after 6pm you will get off your coat and you’re back to your normal life. As for me I agree in some points with the result as they said I look at things closely, and often with a different perspective than everyone else. But the part where they choose an astronaut as a career is a total no-no. Even though I like being alone for hours just thinking but doing that for years isn’t something that I would appreciate even if that time being alone is not really alone because you have co-workers and the time you have isn’t yours for thinking about yourself, but it’s quite the same thing. Moreover you won’t have real food and this is a bad thing. Just thinking about that makes me freak out edible pills for getting my nutrition? This isn’t serious I think. To sum up choosing a career whether it is an astronaut or something else is a thing that we should really think about, it’s a life changing decision.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. In order to be an astronaut, you must love all the aspects of the job, because it's so demanding. What kind of career would you prefer instead?
DeleteMy result was describing me as a “humanitarian person “who spend much more time thinking of others than myself and having a sense of kindness. In addition, my occupation was a social worker or a judge. Frankly this is my case, I am inclined to believe that my priorities include treating myself and others good despite being tenacious sometimes. So I utterly agree with the outcome, but when it comes to the occupations given like being a judge, I do not think this is my cup of tea .However, I do believe that I am clever and important as it is mentioned in the quiz. Therefore, I somewhat agree with the result. Moreover, one of the careers that I find as interesting as cooperative is working as a journalist reporting from several countries, because then you will have a sense of humanity and benevolence. Besides, when you speak to a person directly affected, that is the time when you complete your understanding of the news. And the fact that you hear myriad and different stories from each individual, will automatically touch your heart and change your beliefs about people. Hence I am very inspired by the job of journalists. Notwithstanding my business major, I wish one day I could have the same experience so as to get an intrepid attitude during my life .Eventually, I highly recommend people have some internships or trainings for journalism in order to be conscious about humans’ sufferings and keep in mind the fact that not everybody lives in a stabilized world.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could be a social justice journalist or use your skills to combine your love of communication with creating a better world and exposing injustices.

ReplyDeleteToday I will talk about my future career . I disagree with the idea of becoming a designer in the future, I don’t even think about this job. I want to set up my own business in the future, and working on a lot of projects. This is the reason why I choose Al Akhawayne University. Also, to get an experience about the field of marketing and communication. I want to build a big company in the future, that I will name it Fes Guinea Hens Food Ltd. In this company I will produce and sell food for animals, especially for guinea hens and materials for breeding them. I believe that I have the qualities to manage this company .Honestly , I have two dreams in my life , to set up my own project , and to build a wonderful family with My lovely girlfriend . I hope that I will realize my dreams in the future.
ReplyDeleteI think you should do this!!!!!!! It's a very good achievable goal. I believe in you. But, there are aspects of design necessary to start a good business.
DeleteChoosing a career is one of the most important things in life, since each profession and workplace requires certain characteristics such as values, strengths and skills. Taking Buzzfeed’s quiz, it has been stated that I should have chosen to be an athlete as a career opportunity. In fact, I might agree on that to a certain extent, as long as an athlete needs to be committed, self-confident and emotionally strong. Also, teamwork which I consider as a sense of unity and common interest that provides me with more strength and support. Yet, I do not entertain neither the physical power nor the high tolerance for pain. Therefore, I prefer to hold my choice and to remain in my business career which necessitates optimism, calmness and willingness. These are all traits of my personality that I believe will help me become successful at my job and reach my goals. Thus, choosing a career opportunity needs to suit one’s interests and preferences.
ReplyDeleteI think you're correct. If you have optimism, tenacity, and a healthy competitive spirit, you would make a very good business woman.

ReplyDeleteFinding the job that you want and fulfil your destiny sometime have slight differences. Some people have been found the job that they want, and many people even dont know what the purpose of their working for. Maybe they can say to earn money, but come on you not child anymore. The world is not in your hand at all. But personally I agree with the result of Buzz Quiz that my character is humanity. I want to be diplomat and the result support me to do so, but still I must to prepare another posibility in my future days. My mother ever said that 'whatever do you want and wherever you are, just doing the best and May Lord see your effort'. Ultimately, I just want to say keep going to find destiny in career, eventhough the world have different opinion with my mind.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd be a great diplomat. You like to travel and communicate easily with people from different cultures.
DeleteI like what you said, that you are "not a dreamer, but a visionary." You must have that mindset to be a good CEO.
ReplyDeleteMy future is still so vague, undefined and vacant. And I never thought or believed that a quiz can define what my career will look like.
