INTRO AND CAREER ANALYSIS 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). COMPANY ANALYSIS The company I have chosen to analyze is Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, one of the most prestigious law firms in the United States that grosses over one billion dollars a year. Skadden, Arps, Meagher & Flom (Skadden) is a Multinational Corporation located in 5 of the 7 continents. For over 60 years, “Skadden has provided legal services to the corporate, industrial, financial and governmental communities around the world in a wide range of high-profile transactions, regulatory matters, and litigation and controversy issues.”
As a student of psychology, my career assessments test showed me many options for my career goal path. For starters, my career interest profile results are broken into six main categories which are: social, artistic, investigative, enterprising, realistic, and conventional. According to my results, my career matches are as followed: preschool, primary, secondary, and special education teacher. I am 28% social, 22% artistic, 17% investigative, 11% enterprising, 10% realistic, and 9% realistic. According to my Phoenix results, the salary ranges in this area between $18,140 - $57,530. I generally believed that I have a more noteworthy degree as a social person which ended up being substantial. Individuals who are social likes to help individuals in instructing, giving a restorative guide, giving data for the most part, avoids utilizing machines, devices, and animals to accomplish an objective. Moreover, people who are social is awesome at teaching, exhorting, nursing, or giving information; values people and dealing with social issues; and sees self as to be helpful, welcoming, and dependable. My profession normally includes working with, speaking with, instructing individuals, and causing or giving administration to others. However, my results also showed me other community and social service specialist that also may be in my interest such as health educator, youth counselor, and mental health / behavioral counselor.
1.What is one short term goal you have on your agenda to achieve in the next couple of weeks to a month?
Typically, when someone hears ‘medical field’, automatically you think of people with white lab coats and a stethoscope around their neck ready to take your vitals. Obviously this comes to mind because these doctors and surgeons are the face of the medical field, but in reality there is so much more. There are actually about 300 different occupations one can have in the health care field. A large part of that is nurses. Nurses are the basis of the medical field; they are almost as important as the patients themselves. They have always been a major part of our lives. Nurses have been with us since we first opened our eyes, from birth to broken bones, nurses were there. They have very difficult and extensive careers, they dedicate their lives to their work and to their patients. Some nurses spend long nights away from their family and friends to help others, at times their shifts can last as long as 24 hours. In my opinion nurses are the real super heroes, for this reason I have decided to pursue a major in nursing. I still have a lot to learn and many years of schooling to go, but personally its worth the wait.
Pediatricians are doctors who treat infants and children. Read on to see the specific duties and responsibilities of pediatricians, as well as the education requirements and employment statistics of the occupation. My career goal and lifelong dream has been to become a successful pediatrician. I enjoy working with children and it is my passion to help people. My wish is to pursue a degree as a pediatrician and hopefully open my own clinic. Through diligent work, commitment, and a secure passion for people, I hope to accomplish my dream. As a pediatrician, your main occupational tasks involve providing medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. You are responsible for examining, diagnosing, and treating children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses. You will also administer the many immunizations that are available to protect children from diseases such as hepatitis B, diphtheria, polio, measles, and the mumps. Routine check-ups are also part of your common tasks list, with the intent of monitoring a child 's growth and development from birth to adulthood. Also pediatrician’s work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide children with medical care to the fullest extent possible. Another important part of your job revolves around working with your patients ' parents or guardians to teach them how to provide proper care to their children. This may include tips on improving childhood eating habits, promoting regular exercise, and
Unfortunately, the results of the career assessment surveys on www2.careercruising.com did not place my desired career as one of the careers it thought I would be interested in. Another thing the career assessments told me I was primarily a visual learner, but I had a secondary preference for tactile learning as well. However, it gave me a career that correlates with the subject I want to teach as my career, which happens to be mathematics (career: mathematician). This choice can be the match for lighting the fuse for the rocket that is my career path so I can blast off with my career in the future. However, I was a bit disappointed that these surveys did not land me with a “teaching” job, but one thing I can agree on is the fact that it landed me with a math-related career, because math is my favorite subject in school overall. Even so, these results might help me pursue my dream of becoming a middle-school math teacher if I work hard enough. In conclusion, even though some of these surveys’ results don’t match my interests, I can still work hard to prove them otherwise.
The career goals I am preparing for include finishing my BSN, then continuing to receive my MSN, receiving my RN-C and becoming a clinical instructor for a community college. I plan to start taking classes for my MSN degree as soon as I finish my BSN because you must have a Master’s degree to become a clinical instructor. Becoming a clinical instructor has been a dream of mine since I started nursing school in 2009. When students come to the NICU for their observation day, I make sure to teach them everything I know about neonates because they only get one afternoon in the NICU and I want them to leave loving the specialty as much as I do. I want to teach clinical at a community college versus a four year college so I can encourage the nursing students to continue on for their BSN immediately upon completion of their Associate’s degree because “generally,
My long term career goal is to earn my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and become an essential part of a professional team. Whether in a hospital or outpatient surgical center, caring for patients is my priority. I am especially interested in a cardiac unit or an endoscopy lab. After graduation, my objective is to pass the state board exam (NCLEX) and then bridge to Registered Nurse, while working as a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Resources and support are available to me and that I will use to help obtain my career goals are professional connections/resources and institutional connections/resources. My professional connections include and atmospheric chemistry professor at Emory University and a mentor who recently left Emory University to go work at the census bureau in Washington D.C.

I cant believe it’s the end of this semester. One last chance to get this grade up. I cant believe one grade could possibly hold me back from all my dreams. Since I was little all I wanted to be was football player. Are star quarterback is graduating this year, and now it’s my time to shine. Everything I worked for hanging in the shadow of this final test.
The start of this project began in early October, and for the most part it was a relatively simple course of action to be prepared, coordinated, and reported for the majority of the school year. Its themes and priorities were simple in theory, however—volunteer, research post-graduation opportunities and ideas, and for the most part settle with a plan on how to address adulthood and future prospective careers and education. My choices led me to volunteer for the necessary twenty hours and my own curiosity has allowed for me to navigate the internet and other sources for ideas on careers, education, and even the possible jobs that I could acquire when moving from Pennsylvania after my graduation. There were many things to learn, but many things
For the past five years I have been an elementary school teacher, and this experience has helped me to identify where my career goals will lead. My interest in the Doctor of Education Organizational Change and Leadership program is to become a staff educator. I would like to guide teachers how to use data to drive their instruction in the classroom.
Politics is defined by Webster dictionary as, “the activities, actions, and policies that are used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence a government.” I aim to one day work in our government and influence lives in a positive manner. I want to help create a sound government in any way possible. Intellectually, I yearn to learn more about the processes in government, to overall aid in my professional goal of being a successful politician.
Today is the age of competition. The survival of the fittest in the face of economic downturn has proven who can take a hit and who was built on a shaky foundation. In the last few years since the 2010 crash, corporate law firms have been rebuilding themselves, and then growing even larger than before. As economies all over the world begin to stabilize, three firms are at the top of their game, grossing far into billions and expanding to more places. The places are (starting with the highest grossing): Baker & McKenzie, Skadden & Co., and Clifford Chance (Business and Company Info). Based on values that have taken the test time, these companies have created their own values, appeal to people and other companies, and with those created a purpose for their firms that they are widely known for: defending, prosecuting, and creating documents with law and honesty combined.
