My Ideal Job.

Actually, before this assignment I had not thought which my ideal job is. The only thing I know it`s that I would not like to be employed during my whole life at the same place. In the short term, when I graduate of the university, I would like to be employed by a consulting office as a labor psychologist, or by a company in the department of human resources. Ideally, I want to work at organization development and do research to find ways to solve problems in the area of human relations and organizational climate. For this kind of work I need to have social and communication skills, and knowledge about the functioning of the organization. Personally I believe that I would be good at this work because I have the required skills, I'm motivated, and in the university I am preparing myself to do this type of job.
There is a lot of demand for people to perform these tasks in all sorts of organizations. However, there are also a lot of people wanting this type of job. In order to get to one of these jobs, one needs to begin from selection of personnel and slowly go up to positions with bigger level of responsability.

Creativity

I saw Ken Robinson's presentation and I found it very interesting. It is common to to judge how educated and successful a person is by his/hers professional degrees. However, every day it is more evident that the degrees are not enough in a world that changes very fast and new skills are needed to be able to adapt to changes. To know many theories, to have a lot of knowledge is not enough if it is not used with creativity, which is developed from childhood.

In order to develop creativity it is necessary to teach children to adjust to the changes that they face day after day, when they deal with new technologies, new competitions, etc. This ability can be more important than having only a degree. Some people without degrees are becoming more productive and successful today than people who feel safe with their degrees, don`t take risk, nor innovate and are not creative.

The educational system in Chile generate professionals that are productive for the capitalist system, but with a system that it is not sustainable because nowadays everything changes very fast and the knowledge that is being taught today, is not always significant for tomorrow. The educational system should develop the talents that every student has, without being ruled by rigid parameters. Looking to develop creativity that is the tool that will open doors to students
in their future.

Hypnosis

My favorite subject is Hypnosis, today referred as neuro hypnosis, which is a technique that allows a person, a hypnologist, to induce another person into a particular state of conscience in which the subconscious can become conscious. For example, remembering events of childhood or situations from childhood that they had forgotten. I learnt hypnosis from a teacher who gave an elective course imparted at the university. I like it principally because I am interested very
much in work related to regressions. Through hypnosis you can allow a person to live again an experience that happened in a very early stage of his life. It is for example possible, to ask a person to remember the happiest moment. This semester I have learned through reading, researching and practice by hypnotizing different people. The more I practive, the more I learn.

My Future


In 5 more years…

In 5 more years I’ll be 27 years old and I’ll have my psychology degree and a post-graduate degree. I will be working in the area of labor psychology and in parallel I’ll continue taking courses on Humanist psychology because, in a future further away, I’d like to work in clinical psychology. Also, I see myself living with friends or with my couple, in a very colorful house with decoration done by me. I’ll feel my house, or my room, as an expression of myself.

I’ll have a fun life full of activities with friends and family. I will travel to different places in the world during my vacations, like India, Tailandia, Turquia, and do many hobbies such as dance, singing, courses on alternative therapies, etc. Also, I hope by a secure and happy person who is comfortable with everything she is doing.
