A Career as a Bricklayer
A good career for me would be a bricklayer. Bricklayers make a lot of money but

it's also a lot of work. It's a job that most people wouldn't necessarily enjoy but on the

other hand you would make a lot of money, about $14-$18 an hour. (WOIS p ) A quote

from my sister who works at Big Kmart is, "People work at jobs they don't enjoy just so

they can make a lot of money." I think I could do the job well. Three reasons I think I

could do the job well are, I'm a good worker, I have a lot of energy, and I know a lot

about bricks. With these three reasons in mind, it would be good to think of a bricklayer

as a career for me. I think that I would be a really good bricklayer.

I'm a good worker. If you were to give me a job to do then I would do it and do it

well. If I'm focused and determined to do the job, I will get the job done successfully.

That's pretty much all there is to it. If you told me to build a wall out of bricks, for

example, I'm the kind of person who will be right on the job. I'll just start working then

I'll work until the wall or whatever it may be is built. Now everyone has days that they

are tired but they still have to work. Let's say I was tired, I would work not only because

I had to but because I would care so much about my job to do my absolute best.

For my whole life I have had a somewhat large amount of energy. That means

that I can do something for a long period of time, without getting tired. Bricklayers work

different amounts of hours all the time. It depends on the project and on who you are

working for. A lot of bricklayers are self employed so they work what they want to. So

it really depends on what exactly you are doing (WOIS p ). I could work long hours, that

is another reason why I'd be good at my job. Most people would hire you for the job if

they know that you will get the job done in a reasonable amount of time doing a fair job.

My sister says that, "One of the most important

    ASC 740 is an accounting subtopic known as accounting for income taxes. In this example from Deloitte a company named Bricks and Mortar have a few uncertain tax positions that need clarifying. Before starting in the issues with Bricks and Mortar, it is important to know the process of ASC 740 or more specifically FIN 48. According to Deloitte’s interpretation of ASC 740 in section 4-5, FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition and recognition being more likely than not (more than 50%) the position will be sustained upon examination including appeals to the “court of last resort.” It is based on the technical merits of the position and presumed that taxing authorities have full knowledge of the situation. Step two is measurement of the uncertain tax position. Measurement includes determining the largest amount of tax benefit greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement. It is based on the settlement with taxing authority and that authority has access to all the facts. It can also be based on management’s best judgment of the situation.…

    I am a dependable employee and a hard worker. I enjoy working. I do not enjoy sitting around socializing and not doing anything. I enjoy constantly being busy and completing all of my tasks on time. I do not enjoy staying at home and sitting around, so I would love to work often and be doing my job. I prefer to be early, rather than on time and especially late, so I make sure that I have enough time to complete my daily tasks. However, other candidates may have similar characteristics as myself, but I am the best candidate choice because I will get my work completed faster and have time to complete other tasks needed.…

    Last is when and where you get to work. Most of the time Bricklayers work outside, and I like being in the outdoors, And that is a step closer to why I should become one. Also When it is raining or snowing you normally don't have to work because the mortar will disintegrate or fall apart. Another one of the Great things is that all the Job sites that I would be working at would be around here, so not to far from home so I don't use up too much gas money.…
