A Note On Planning Your Career

Create a "career map" as you think about your next career move and learn as much as you can. After you have researched specific occupations and decided on your goals, you need to research. Identify credible sources of information for your target profession and identify the academic requirements and experience you will need for the job you want. Research career-focused undergraduate and graduate programs. Make a "gap analysis" after you've identified the skills experience and knowledge you already have that you would need for your future career. A gap analysis will help you figure out what you still need to learn and do. Make a plan to close those gaps to ensure you can meet the requirements and expectations of your target profession. If you're

In 2012, a 14-year old girl was shot in the head on a bus ride home from school in Pakistan. She was targeted by the Taliban because she believed in the rights of education for women and was not afraid to take a stand against this oppressive regime. Malala Yousafzai at 17-years old is a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Since then, Malala has opened schools in Lebanon, has a charity called The Malala Fund, and continues to speak to world leaders to fund the right for education. Malala is a pioneer for educational rights, just as I hope to be a pioneer for chemical engineering.

Figuring out what career to embark on or which career to switch to can be overwhelming, confusing and frustrating! So how do you make the best choice for a career of a lifetime? That is a question we all ask ourselves, but how can we answer that question? Thanks to technology, we all can have access to a self-assessment test which can help anyone that is struggling in what career to embark in. Take a short assessment test and determine what motivates yourself. Theses self assessment test will need information about your personality and what career suits the best. What I suggest is to spend some time fleshing out a picture of your ideal life, which doesn’t have to include a specific description of an ideal job, or an ideal business just yet,

This is very important for practical purposes. You need to do a practical research for the career you’re considering. Jot down all the necessary information, like if you’re going to pursue a career how much money and time will it cost you, so, you can figure out right away which from all of your passion choices is more attainable.

Attending college is one of the best decisions anyone can make. Education is the ticket to a better paying job with so many benefits. One of the toughest decisions college students face is choosing a major and a career. With too many careers available in the world, deciding on the ideal one can become complicated. When choosing a career, it must be well thought because it is going to involve lots of time, money, and effort. Since we all have different skills, interests, experiences, expectations, strengths, values, and personalities, there is not one career that is best for everyone. Knowing these few factors will help with choosing the best career that fits our most desirable job.

We want to introduce our new sales team that has been put together in the past few weeks to the company’s new strategy and sales program, we have taken the authorization to assign each member to their appropriate training and orientation. I have put together an appraisal performance form so we are able to evaluate the member’s performance of our team, and this will provide feedback so we are able to understand the voice and opinion of the management team from the employees. I will be reviewing each appraisal, and feedback will be given to each team member , feedback will help assist in the future to perform at a top level and if needed will offer educational opportunities.

The career I would like to pursue would to be a sports psychologist. I love learning about how the mind works, thinks, acts, and reacts. I am also in love with my athletics. I am very involved with people’s lives and if you were to combine all of them that would be the definition of a sports psychologist. Someone who is able to counsel athletes of all ages, working with those in high school, the collegiate level and even professionally. Being able to help athletes manage their lives, improve their sport performance, and overcome the mind is the sort of career I desire most. To walk with the athletes daily and watch them overcome their own mind and make big improvements would give some of the greatest joy know to me.

Taking the steps to enroll in higher education, completing the courses, and earning a degree are all important aspects in career development. However, many other aspects need to be considered while planning for a future career. While it may seem very overwhelming, I am hoping that by completing this Flexible Career Plan this whole process will help me feel a little less overwhelmed. Each chapter in our textbook, Creating Career Success by Fabricant, Miller, and Stark (2014), will assist me with gathering information, evaluating that information and coming to conclusions on how to peruse the right career. We will begin with Chapter two and travel through the book ending in chapter ten. Some of the topics we will cover will be,

I began my journey as an undergraduate student at Arizona State University in August 2013. As any normal college freshman, I had the unrealistic expectation that the future career choice, I would choose to dedicate a majority of my life perfecting, would come without much hardship. At the age of 19, I did not have a good understanding of how much strength, discipline, and dedication it would take to not only choose the proper degree that I would benefit from once graduation came around, but how each year of growth would soon lead me to discover more things that I would want to pursue, career wise. I believe that most freshman, including myself, had the idea that our journey throughout the four years we are given at Arizona State University would guide us directly to the career that our future would encompass, to only learn that in order to properly benefit from all that this campus has to offer you have to discover more about yourself. After multiple changes in career choice, and three and a half years of rediscovering who I am as an individual, I can say that I am one step closer to finding the career that I have been searching for. A Master’s degree in Public Administration, with a concentration in Emergency Management and a certificate in Nonprofit Leadership and Management would bring me one step closer to a career path that allows for me to demonstrate leadership, competency, and the ability to put my effort towards the endless possibilities that my future beholds.

My Career Plan The future is uncertain for me, but it is important to develop a career plan that will provide financial support and personal fulfillment over the course of my professional life. To make this transition from school to a professional career, I am going to plan a plan that will help me stay focused and motivated in meeting my goals and objectives. In the next paragraphs, I will explain my ten-year plan for my

From a writing point of view, as I suspected, there are possibilities for full-time employment, however these are mostly limited to larger metropolitan areas.

I've grown up to realize the question “what do you want to be when you grow up” is more than just saying a career in fact, “what do you want to do when you grow up” would be a better question for the answer that's expected. What you want to be and what you want to do is two different questions “be” is more on the emotional side and “do” has to do with your career. So what I want to be when I grow up is caring, have lots of happiness, and knowledge and what I want to do is become a physical therapist for sports teams such as the Lakers or even the Cowboys. Choosing a career that makes you happy is very important without happiness in what you do it not only makes your job hard it makes life hard. My character, core values, and goals reflect on me wanting to be a physical therapist because I feel like it help me not only be successful in my job but it would be something that motivates me to get out of bed everyday.

Signing up for Career Development was one of the best choices I made this semester (probably the only one). Not only was this class informational and productive, I was able to gain a different outlook on why I am in school. The book that we read in class, “You Majored in What” also helped me to confirm why I choose the major that I am taking now. I learned things from Chaos theory to how to succeed in an interview. The class taught me viable life lessons and helped prepared me to face real world situations in my career.

The second principle refers to the innate abilities and skills that guide us toward specific interests (Brennfleck & Brennfleck, 2003). In order to gain an idea of the female undergrad student I would need to ask her some questions about her interests and strengths she can best identify with to determine a suitable professional degree and field to work toward. For instance, I have had strong interests in learning about myself, how others think and solve problems. Strengths that I was able to identify with include effectively communicating with others, being flexible, a desire to help others and having a positive attitude.

My career aspirations are to become a tax attorney or tax lawyer. I have wanted to be a lawyer ever since second grade when we did a mock trial in the classroom. It was only recently that I narrowed down my concentration to a specialized field in taxation. As a tax attorney, my job will include handling “a variety of tax-related issues for individuals and corporations” (Lawyers: Occupational Outlook Handbook 2015). My job will also include “[helping] clients navigate complex tax regulations, so that they pay the appropriate tax on items such as income, profits, or property” (Lawyers: Occupational Outlook Handbook 2015). An example for what I may do for a corporation is advise them “on how much tax” they need “to pay from profits made in different states to comply with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules,” and also comply with state and local rules (Lawyers: Occupational Outlook Handbook 2015).
