“Thank you very much. I appreciate the opportunity and I look forward to meeting you so I can share my experiences in more detail.” Is this correct?
There's something that doesn't quite work in the mix of ideas here. You're thanking the recipient of your message very much. You appreciate the opportunity (to do what? You don't say). And you look forward to meeting them so you can share (tell them about) your experiences in more detail.It is grammatically correct but it might not send the message you want it to. It's better not to be effusive in thanks, nor to say anything superfluous. I would leave out either the “very much” or the “I appreciate the opportunity.” Without knowing the precise purpose of your message I can't be sure of this but I might also change the way you end. I would make it more about them and their needs. I feel the way it's written here it's more about your desire to share about yourself.Perhaps “Thank you very much. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and discuss your requirements, and my experience, in more detail.”Or “Thank you. I look forward to meeting you and the opportunity to discuss your requirements and my experience in greater detail.”Save the “I appreciate the opportunity to have met you” for a thank you note for after the meeting.
Nursing or occupational therapy as a career?
Hi, I am a 4th year OT. I originally was a nursing major when I started college but didn't like it at all. My whole life I thought I would be stuck being a nurse until I found out that my school offered Occupational Therapy. I was never exposed to OT until I researched about it. I did a lot of research and it was the best thing I ever did. This may sound corny, but I know that I will want to do OT for the rest of my life, and on occasions when I think about my future career, I cry because I know there are many people who are unhappy with their careers, but I've found mine. Both are very different careers, but I went with OT because of a practitioner's ability to incorporate their creativity into their work. I am a very artsy and creative person and I'm really into science, like neuroscience, anatomy, osteology, psychology stuff. OT offers all of those things. Many people think that OT is a joke, and that there is no real science to the career, but there seriously is, you just have to find the right field of OT that fits you and what you want to do with it. There's a lot more 1-1 client/practitioner interaction and I really like this because you get to know your client more rather than having 100 caseloads and not really know what they're about. OT is a field based on client independence and wellbeing, and the goals of the OT is to help the client with their own goals, not make the goals for them. Nursing is... Well in my personal experience with the courses I took with nursing, it's not as hard as people say. Of course, i'm sure it gets very intense at times but I know that nurses get a lot of crap from patients if something goes wrong, and especially their families. I am not a fan of the nursing field because it's not "in depth" enough for me, and you pretty much conform to what your job requires to do. No thinking out of the box, no ability for wiggle room. It's straight, laid out - 'if this happens, you do this" type of career. It's a lot of memorization and repetition. OT is more like "Okay, I made a list of 20 things that I can do with this client and the client doesn't want to do any of them - how do I find a quick method to quickly find something else for them?" Again- ability be creative.
What will you choose family or your career/job if you have to choose one option?
Most people work to earn a living, so that they can take care of their own needs and those of their family. So this is really not something you can choose. If you choose family and stay home, how are you going to look after your family. On the other hand if you abandon the family and choose work - why are you working again?Fortunately this is not a decision we have to make just once and be stuck with forever. We get several opportunities every day, every week, every month - to choose. e.g. Do I go to my son’s piano recital or do I make that important presentation to the boss this afternoon? Obviously you will try to avoid the scheduling conflict first, you will move the meeting or the recital if possible. You will only have to choose when both cannot be moved.There are some strategies you can employ to minimize the number of times you have to make such choices.Set aside time when you are not required to work (e.g weekends) when you will engage in meaningful activities with your family, friends and also for yourself personally. Publish this calendar and attempt to stick to it atleast 80% of the time. This way your family feels attended to and you also do not feel guilty about neglecting them.Take a hard look at your work and try to reduce the number of emergencies you have at work. Do this by understanding what causes emergencies and eliminate the root cause. Do the same with your family life. Proactively take care of the routine things so they do not become an emergency forcing you to make a choice.Schedule your day, and let people know your schedule. They will be able to appreciate your responsibilities and support you with achieving the balance.Perfect balance is impossible. And there will be times when you have to make a difficult choice. Try to engage your family and get their support when you have to decide in favor of work. Make it up to them at a subsequent time or bill favors in advance.This has worked quite well for me. I never want to have to choose - cos its like asking do you favor your right eye or the left one - you need both.

A career in construction?
I'm a recent graduate of High school in NJ and I've always been really interested in working in construction, I've come to a split on how to approach starting my career in this and I would very much appreciate input and advice. Becoming a general construction laborer and working my way up or applying too union apprenticeship and go on to become a journeyman? I have no work experience in construction so far and very limited at all (just some simple house projects) so I can't really gauge how tough it would be to get hired as a laborer. As for applying too unions I've only applied to one so far (cement mason) and I intend to apply to another in the fall (ironworker) as far as others I'm interested in Carpentry kinda. For working as a general laborer I wondering if it would if I should get my OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 first and how much employers value that at this level of employment. I mean logically it can't hurt. If you need any more information I can answer anything and all advice is welcome.
Should I opt for a career change at this stage?
Well anonymous it is............... Not fair, I would like to know whom I am answering for and also to thank for the large number of credits given to me. Let me start like this………. As I can understand and deduce from your question and put on your shoes here it is: If I were you, I would not opt for a career change.No doubt you may be earning more…………. The grass is always greener on the other side. But you cannot keep on crossing paths and not reaching anywhere. There are several reasons for NO. You are an engineer and already working for three years. Hence you have the technical skills and the expertise to go deeper and pick up a lucrative career in this field. After honing your technical skills, move on to upgrade some additional relevant technical skills and do some international certification or even widen your domain knowledge. If you perform well at work, you will sure be a recipient of good appraisal and grow in your career. Sit and have a straightforward chat with your senior in the firm and discuss your career path, the options for growth and the knowledge base needed for this growth. He is an appropriate person to guide you since he would be knowing you well, as much as your parents. Heed his advice and move ahead.But in no case: think of changing the profession, it is too late to do so. All your expertise, money, efforts will go down the drain. Even though it is feasible, my answer would be NO!
