Career Planning
My ultimate dream job is to be a Fireman. There are many qualities a Fireman must embrace, and some of the crucial assets include: Critical thinking, active listening and complex problem solving. This field embraces respect from all members of the community, whilst they risk their lives everyday. The job outlook is currently changing within the community of Adelaide, whilst the values of the occupation always hold extreme value to the society because of the risks involved with the profession. A Firefighter can be both a positive and negative, as they help the lives of many people everyday but may also hold the ultimate sacrifice of losing their own life because of the risks involved. Currently the Firefighting industry holds extreme value within the society. All types of members within the community hold the upmost respect for the men and women that risk their lives every day to help others in need. Firefighters are not just there to protect people or property when the time calls, but are also always out in the community teaching people about the techniques they can use to help prevent fires around their homes. Fire prevention or simply cleaning out gutters, keeping gardens and trees away from houses is the main technique to help alleviate fires from ruining homes within the community. I believe the community is extremely grateful for the work the Firemen and Firewomen do every day, to help the community positively move forward and uphold the strength of the Firefighting community. The community continues to value the Firefighting industry because of the advancements in technology over the last few years. The new advancements of technology are leading to a safer yet more powerful Firefighting industry. The industry is looking at new methods to extinguish
