knowledge on costume designing is high as I have had experience in doing
textiles as a subject as well as the interest I have for fashion on a daily
basis.
- My experience
with makeup is very minimal as I do use make up myself, however this would be
a higher advanced level of doing makeup which would mean I would need more
knowledge on the types of makeups as well as what would be suitable for
certain people as the main key here is to make sure the customers or the
character is happy and satisfied with the results.
- The
experience I have with managing is also very minimal, I did business as a
subject which has helped me give me some idea on how a successful manager
should be like as well as what their roles are, this is another job I would
need experience and training before entering that path.

My Plan
|
¬ Goals are things that you want to achieve in the
future. They are things that will help you to be prepared and ready for change
at school or in your life. It is important that you think about goals early
because then you can work out how to achieve them. Thinking about goals means
that you will be prepared to study the subjects you like, do the types of
occupations you prefer, and keep your future options open. If you meet a goal
throughout the year, set another new one for yourself – maybe a more
challenging one.
![Description: MP900439388[1]](file://localhost/Users/08melust/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/msoclip/0/clip_image004.gif) |
¬ Think about goals that relate to
education/training and employment. For example, an education/training goal
might be to hand all school work in on time, and an employment goal might be
to find a part-time job.
¬ Think about why the goals you have made are
important. For example, handing all school work in on time means you are
developing time management skills, and working part-time helps you to develop
a school-work-life balance.
¬ Think about how long it will take you to achieve
your goals. Some goals are short-term which means you can achieve them in a
few weeks. Some goals are long-term which means it might take a year or more
before you can achieve them.
