      1st Entry Level Example

      "While I'm so excited to embark on my career in the airline industry, and hopefully here at Air Canada, I would probably have considered a career in the music industry somehow. My family has always had a natural talent for music, and I'm well-versed in piano, guitar, and singing. As for now, these remain great family hobbies."

      "I certainly do not regret the direction I have taken my career; however, if I had to start over in a new direction, I would likely pursue my Degree in Education and become a teacher. Both of my parents were teachers, and they seemed to have a very fulfilling careers. I enjoy coaching and leading others, so I would welcome any opportunity to train and develop staff here at Air Canada."
