Is job shadowing a good way to see if you are interested in a certain field while in high school?

I have seen many ways you can gain experience and learn about a field while in high school, but I was wondering how helpful job shadowing is. My stepmom recommended I try and shadow a family friend of ours because she works at a local news station for news broadcasting and that is a secondary field I am interested in if I feel public relations won't work. What are the benefits of job shadowing? And should I try it out if possible?

How do stand out in dental school?

What is the best way for a sophomore in high school to stand out when getting into dental school. I want to either be a dentist or orthodontist. I want to job shadow but don’t know how to reach out. Also, is there anything else that would deem me a good fit. My school doesn’t have many advanced science classes. Ex: No AP classes.

What kind of internships would help me to become a criminal profiler?

I am a high school student and my dream job is to be an FBI profiler. I understand this is an incredibly hard career to get into. I am wondering what kind of internships or job shadows I could get into right now as a high school student to further propel my career choice. Ideally, so that I will have some experience, no matter how little, once I get out of college.

Where should I start with job shadowing as a pre-med student?

Hi! I am going to be attending college in Phoenix this fall as a freshman. I'm a pre-med student majoring in Biology. I know it's a little early, but I know job shadowing is a very important part of the pre-med process, both for applying to medical school and for being certain that medicine is the right career path. Any tips on how to clinical shadow would be incredibly helpful as I am not sure where to begin. Can I contact hospitals in the area? Do I need to ask physicians directly or will hospitals connect me with physicians who are open to being shadowed? Thank you and I appreciate any answers and information!

Is it possible to shadow a flight attendant as a high school student?

I'm currently a sophomore in high school. At my school, sophomores are encouraged to complete a job shadow for the career/job they're most interested in. I've always wanted to be a flight attendant, but I can't see how it would be possible to shadow one. Are there any job shadowing opportunities for students who want to be flight attendants? If not, are there any alternatives, like an internship or attending a training session?

How should I ask for a shadowing opportunity?

So far, I've been making calls to a few optometry centers to ask for a shadowing opportunity. One of the receptionists told me to show up in person. I gave him my resume without directly speaking to their optometrist, who doesn't work on that day. Would it be better to speak with their optometrist directly? Also, how long should I wait for a call-back about the opportunity? I'm not sure how much longer I should wait for a call-back until moving on to ask at another center...

How to shadow/network when you can't leave your house?

I'm stuck at home trying to figure out what career to choose. I know my interests and talents, (listed in my profile) but I can't pick something because I haven't had the chance to be hands-on to know what it's really like to be in that career rather than just googling information about it. #career #career-counseling #career-choice #career-path #shadowing #job-shadowing #remote #networking

I was looking to find out how to shadow a biomedical engineer. I did my undergraduate in neuroscience and had the intention of going to graduate school for biomedical engineering. I was hoping to see what there work life was like before going. I've looked into societies like BMES, but no luck. Where would I go to get an opportunity? #engineering #biomedical-engineering #job-shadowing
