Describe Your Career Progression

Upon graduating high school, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I didn’t want to be like a lot of my friends and use college as an excuse to party all night and be lazy all day. So I decided to apply for a full time position as a diesel mechanic at Utility Fleet Sales so that I could at least begin earning income. Soon after starting this position, I realized that I wanted more. I decided to attend night classes at Blinn community college while continuing to work full time. I had no idea on what degree I wanted to work towards, but for the first time in my life I began to enjoy school. As I finished my first year at Blinn and second year working as a technician, I was promoted to an inside parts associates. This position introduced me to inventory management, building relationships with customers, cost management and basic accounting. I really enjoyed applying the mechanical knowledge I learned from working as a technician, towards my new position of

In the first months of college, I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to pursue architecture, finance, or engineering; I was utterly lost, unlike many of my peers. Over the months, I pondered on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Then, I realized I was never interested in obtaining a job where I would sit at a desk and stare at some numbers on a computer screen for 9 hours every day. Through my daily routine and utilization of time, I realized I found less joy in the courses I applied least outside of the classroom, yet was intrigued that with the many hours I worked in the studio. I could work on a skill in which I could use in the career I wanted; a path in which I could leave a legacy through molding the world the way I wanted to see

The idea of being able to do what I love most for a living has always been my drive. My parents have always told me to find my passion first, then my career. For me that is fashion. Unfortunately, as much as I love the idea of becoming a high class fashion designer, I have to consider the skills that I already possess and mash them together to create a perfect equilibrium. Numbers, organization and leadership skills have always come naturally to me, so management became my clear calling. Fortunately, Rutgers allows me to major in what I excel at, and minor in what I am most interested in, supplying the perfect combination for an ultimate future career.

The last few years in high school, I told myself I was going to pursue a major that will benefit me no matter the career path I took in life. I was determined to be different from my older siblings. I composed letters, essays, and papers dedicated to the future me and in every one of them, I envisioned the perfect four years of life in college and the start of my success. However, as the first year in college flew by, I no longer had the confidence I once did and the word success found its’ way out of my life. I took courses I that did not interest me, in hopes to find my passion. Then, finally I found myself again within the halls of the business department. I quickly grasped onto the opportunity and walked through

I lead a robust career in business development and recruiting across many industries, from the time I left high school. In my last position, I was working for Sport Haley, a woman’s golf apparel brand. I enrolled at the Art Institute of Colorado to further align my education with the experience I was attaining towards the pursuit of a creative career. When the company eliminated the inside sales team, I chose to dedicate myself to my education full time to complete my degree.

I completed my associate degree last year, and as I am getting closer to completing my bachelor’s degree, as I look ahead I can see that light at the end of the tunnel. This journey has been very long, and at times I have felt frustrated and afraid, but I have learned to conquer my fears. Completing college is essential if I want to be successful and competitive in today’s world. Years ago I never thought this day would ever come. My current goal is to complete my B.S. degree in Community and Human Services with a concentration in Human Services. I am currently volunteering at an organization that helps to keep families from becoming homeless. Everything I have learned so far here at Empire State College has been tremendously helpful.

After abandoning writing aspirations, at age 20, I was a college sophomore majoring in Fashion Merchandising. I attended a school of higher learning not because of its exceptional reputation, but because it was state funded, maintained a plethora of majors, and it was only eight hours from my hometown. My original school chose was F.I.T ( Fashion Institute of Technology ).

I want a career that allows me to continually improve my abilities serving and working in an area where I can perform to the best of my ability and when successful, accomplish self-satisfaction in a job I have always wanted. I also wish to play my part helping the community where I may be usefully deployed. I am eager and willing to learn and have every intention to do the best I can and be successful. I have found I can accept information from my superiors and impart this to members of the public in a sensible and helpful way.

While some people have known exactly the career that they have wanted to go into since childhood, I did not. The only thing that I knew for certain was that I wanted to help people. Whether it was holding lemonade stands to raise money to build schools in Haiti or creating my own not-for-profit business selling baked goods and to buy animals for impoverished communities throughout the world. Over two years, I raised over $5,000. Although I enjoyed this, I still felt that this was not the career for me. The next summer, I spent a month in the Dominican Republic on a service trip. This was a life changing experience as it showed me how to have a global perspective on life as well as instilling in me the importance of serving a good greater than my own. However, knowing that this could not be a career, I kept exploring. Eventually, I took a Principles of Engineering course in school, and from the first day, knew that I had found what I was looking for. I will continue to follow my passion of helping people in engineering by creating new products that increase quality of life in people all over the world. However, I must first educate myself and get experience through internships and co-ops. It is for these reasons that I believe that the best city in world that I can live in to further my goals is Lawrence, KS.

My career goals and objectives have gone through quite the transformation throughout my college career. I’ve gone from marketing to communications, to film, only to go right back to communications. For my future, I realized that I wanted a degree that can take me anywhere I want to go and that can also allow me to incorporate my creative skills. Before I began my undergraduate degree, I had always dreamed of working in the fashion industry. Now that my dreams have turned into my reality, I couldn’t be more excited. This is why I chose to intern at Elbert Ivory Model Management.

In my academic future, I would like to study the career path and field of Genetics/Genomics. The field of genetics is a captivating subject with the potential for immense growth in numerous career fields. The opportunity to thrive in a field that will not only occupy and fascinate me, but consequently also provide the opportunity to make a difference in the world is an aspiration of mine. Moreover, ascertaining new facts about genomes that could lead to genetic diseases being discovered earlier and furthermore the opportunity to share my findings with the world is my ambition. In addition, I want to discover various specifics about our genetic code that will hopefully inspire future generations to consider pursuing a career in the field of

In my Career Explorations and Opportunities (CEO) class, we have just completed a financial unit. Before this unit I didn’t understand many banking terms, I wasn't aware of the difference between savings and chequing and did not know what was available to me through banks being a student. Throughout the unit I was constantly learning new things and realized how important saving is! Savings can really be a great safety net in case of emergency. Throughout this unit I have learned a lot about savings, savings skills, savings mindset, investing, types of investments and my risk appetite. In the following paragraphs I would like to tell you on what I learned throughout this unit.

During my school career, I have excelled in science, math, and music. I enjoy these areas of study, and I like the challenge each disciple requires. I feel my background in these areas has prepared me to begin work on an engineering degree. During high school, I took AP math and science classes and did well on the AP exams. In addition, I took a robotics class for three years, and competed in the Texas Computer Education Association (TCEA) state robotics competition, two of the three years. In addition to academic classes, I was in the marching band and advanced concert band playing the most difficult part each season. I participated in the UIL state solo and ensemble contest and state marching contest multiple times. Once at Texas A&M, I joined

Growing up surrounded by historical landmarks, creative arts, and Southern charm, I have always been an admirer of fashion and beauty. When I was a young child of five years, I would continually play dress-up and dream of becoming a Fashionista that assists movie stars and social elite for their red-carpet appearances. I wanted to contribute to others in seeing the beauty in themselves and the world around them. After about eighteen years, nothing has really changed within my mind-set. Today, I still dream of working in the fashion industry, but more importantly, making a difference in the world. In the process of making my fashion dreams become a reality, at seventeen, I secured enrollment at Northeast Mississippi Community College majoring in fashion merchandising. My first two years at junior college were wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the arts, being the Captain of the Tiger Dancers and Pom Squad, playing as a member of the tennis team, and supporting Prentiss county as Miss Hospitality 2013. These years taught me time management like no other while also leading me down the path of self-expression and competitiveness. Finding immense knowledge and encouragement from professors in little classrooms and civilians in a small Mississippi town perfected my willingness to strive to do my utmost best in every circumstance, whether it be reaching my goals or helping others. Attending Northeast Mississippi Community College opened for me a world of
