What job should I do?

Jim, Josh and Madeleine all asked the advice of a careers adviser and did a career test before deciding what job they should do. Here are their stories.

A

Jim Bancroft (USA)

When I tell people what I do, their first reaction is ‘That’s not a real job, is it?’ What do I do? Well, I’m an ice cream flavour inventor. I work for a large ice cream company, and my job is to come up with and test new flavours of ice cream. After I have suggested a new idea, the company produces a number of different versions of the flavour. For example, if the idea is for an apple flavour, then we might produce a baked apple flavour, a candied apple flavour, an apple with cinnamon combination, and so on. Experience helps, but as you can imagine, you need creativity too! One of the reasons I went into the food industry was because of the career test I did while I was still at school. It showed I was a creative and confident person. Because I’ve always loved food and cooking, I decided to go on to study food science at university. I suppose I could have chosen to be a chef, but what I do is just as rewarding. I don’t think I’ll ever retire!

B

Josh Franks (New Zealand)

I’ve always been an artistic person, and the test I did when I was still at school confirmed this. The test also showed that I was clever, which probably surprised my teachers as my marks at school were always quite low. As you can imagine, I was thrilled when I learnt I could do a job that would suit the sort of person I am and the skills I have. After school, I went on to study drawing and graphic design and then, with these qualifications, I got a job as an animator in a film production company. So far, I’ve worked with many different people, such as film directors, advertisers, even people who develop computer games. I usually create storyboards for the animations they would like to have in their films, advertisements or games. Then I draw them with the help of my computer. My job is a lot of fun and very exciting – I’ve just finished working on a major film with some big-name stars. I still can’t believe that I’m paid for what I do!

C

Madeleine Goddard (UK)

I took a career test when I was still in high school. The test told me something that I already knew: that I enjoyed a challenge and wanted lots of excitement in life. I have always been very athletic and, after talking to an adviser, I decided to study physical education (PE) at university. When I completed my course, I got a job as a PE teacher at a local high school. I was very excited about working with teenagers and playing lots of different sports. But, unfortunately, my job turned out to be rather boring because the students did all the physical activities! Then someone suggested that I become a stunt person in the film industry. I applied and they accepted my application! I’ve been doing stunts for three years now, and I still love jumping out of aeroplanes and all the other dangerous things I do in the films I’m in. I wouldn’t change my job for all the money in the world!
