May 2008: Harley is an ENFP likes hands on stuff, is creative, a bit scientific (likes new ideas) and prefers the outdoors.  Harley identified a number of areas as a career interest: Defence, Body Art (Piercing), Car Detailer and Ambulance Officer.  We tried a number of places for work experience, the tattoing/piercing places in Shep weren’t very helpful, and work experience at the Fire Station proved problematical.  Ambulance has privacy restrictions.  Harley ended up getting work experience at Heywoods Panel Beating in Shepparton – which he really enjoyed.
