My Educational And Career Pathways

Thank you for your generosity. This will allow me to focus more on my education and grades rather than be concerned about my financial need. It is because of donors like yourself that I am able to maintain a high GPA and focus on my studies. This scholarship will only further assist in achieving my education, career goals, and increase my chances of success. My major is Feed Science and Management with a minor in Animal Science. Currently I am most interested in research and development. As I continue my education at Kansas State University I will be very thankful for receiving your support.

Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.

The classroom component includes employment preparation exercises including writing a resume, cover letter, and follow-up letter. You will be compiling a job seeker's portfolio and working on proofreading and editing. We also do mock interviews.

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.

As I read the student manual, started doing research on articles and began my interviews, it become more apparent on the importance of a linkage. Linkage was a partnership with the educational institutions with the business, government, military and labor to come together and close the performance gaps of our workforce. Additionally, this course provided me with insight on how professional relationships between the industry and educational institutions can benefit both participants on emerging trends. This is critical in the job market because as a college graduate, I would want to be using skill sets that are still being

When I go into the business field I feel like this class has helped me prepare for it. I found when reading Chapter 15 in the textbook that there is more than one type of Resume. I always thought the Traditional Resume was the only type of Resumes people used. I also learned how to write memos that used positive language instead of negative

This course has changed my views dramatically on how to represent myself professionally. Equally important, I now have a feel for the interviewing procedure, and the preparation necessary beforehand. In the future, I will perform the research necessary to prepare for interview questions as a student and a job candidate. Additionally, I now have a keen awareness of my strengths. I now understand the importance of possessing an awareness of my strengths. Knowledge of strengths helps a candidate explain why he or she is the best choice for the position. Throughout the span of this course, my strengths and weaknesses as a candidate have become clearer to me, and I am currently striving to become a better candidate overall.

College has always been a wide topic in my family. My grandparents were college professors, my mom studied to be a teacher, my dad went to art school. It was very commonly talked about, and commonly expected to go to. My parents never forced me to go to college, it was just something we were all used to for our post-high school careers. I'm going going to college because I choose to, and want to.

Over the past ten years I have had the opportunity to connect with many people on a professional level when either I or my audience have joined the location I was working in at the time. Typically, when trying to connect I like to share a story where I take them though my career path as well as share a little about my personal life. This story comes to mind when I think about what drives my desire to go back to school and earn a bachelors degree. It really comes down to my family and a clear career direction that will allow me to spend more time with my family. I am now a husband and father of three children who are now involved in various extracurricular actives. My career path has been anything but standard. This has provided we with varying experiences which has resulted in valuable skill sets, however they are not

In the MSM-Finance program, through the core courses ‘Empirical finance’, ‘Derivatives and risk management’, and ‘Investment Management’, I can conceptualize real-world financial problems with a broad range of analytical methods. Besides, the courses of the Financial Big Data Track, such as, ‘Quantitative Risk Modeling’ and ‘Applications in Financial Big Data’ will greatly strengthen my quantitative, evaluative and problem-solving skills. In the future, I am confident of my career success, which will enable me to better contribute as an

What I most enjoyed about this course is being in a state of continuous learning, whether it’s about learning writing skills, presentation skills, or necessary information for my future career, such as writing a resume or a cover letter.

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

It has been 10 years passed since last time I entered in college as a freshman, and now, at the end of 2017, I decide to go back to college for pursuing a new major and reaching a new objective of career path. All of these will start from Fullerton College.

Moving forward when I am seeking employment, it will be wise for me to do research of the position itself, the organization and the organization mission and values. I will also research the organizations website for further knowledge. The gained knowledge will either allow me to move forward or withdrawal my candidacy, depending on the findings. Furthermore, the key concepts, models and theories from the courses, are defined to be groups of structural growth. I believe every new knowledge is a blessings and a growth opportunity.
