I have worked in the customer service field dealing with internal and external customer for over eight years. A good benefits specialist will be knowledgeable of preprocesses and principles for providing personal and customer service. Knowledge of clerical and administrative procedures is also important. Clerical experience would include word processing, transcription, managing files/records, office procedures/terminology, and transcription. Basic computer and electronic knowledge such as hardware/software, programs/application, and processors is also need when entering the human resources field. Last but not least is active listening.

When getting involved in health care, it is important to educate oneself about the industry, the role on has in health care, as well as personal traits in health that such as trust, ethics, and honesty to just name a few. When reading Professionalism in Health Care by Sherry Makely, the chapters help better educate an individual on the above stances. Many students get asked what they want to do with their major as well as when they plan to graduate. But we never really understand what makes health care different than others. In health care, there is always room for career advancement. With career advancement, the individual can gain transferable skills and multi-skilled opportunities and functions. This makes the health care industry different than others because industries such as educational
Must include knowledge of Excel and skills in Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS). Personality traits like honesty, ethics, discretion and fair-mindedness rank high among the personal attributes needed for the future human resource manager.

Apart from that HR professionals must be computer-literate and familiar with a variety of software programs used for scheduling, payroll, benefits administration, recruitment and reporting. The future manager should have global intelligence and technological savvy in order to contribute and manage the company.
A career trajectory is a formalized plan for a successful transition into a career path that an individual has chosen. Likewise, the goal of nursing is to improve health through the advancement of knowledge therefore, improving the safety, effectiveness, and the access for healthcare. In combining these two definitions, a career trajectory in nursing advancement is to allow for clarity of direction and expected outcomes in a career by meeting the goals to advance in the healthcare field. In order to build a successful career as an advanced practitioner an individual must consider the requirements of the position and make strategic decisions in order to facilitate progression towards this goal (Feetham & Doering, 2015).
After four years of learning to be a college student and meeting the requirements of each of my instructors, it is time for me to prepare for graduation and the move onto my career dreams.

The action plan roadmap can help me see the trail that takes me to understanding my professional goals, and the health care position I should look for. This Roadmap can also help me
I believe that the Master’s program will challenge me in subjects that I am not proficient in. I believe that the Master’s program will balance my education with a better understanding of the business aspects of health care. I do lack in a firm foundation of business knowledge and I am excited to learn. I know that the finance aspects of the Master’s program will be difficult for me but I will seek additional resources through the University of Phoenix. I also will utilize the resources I have around me on a daily basis with the current leadership I work with.

It’s so important to know how to develop a career and plan a career for yourself. When it comes to the human service world, it is very important in Human Services that you stay informed of current changes in the profession (Kinsella, 2015). To become a human service worker, it’s important to understand the skills that you will need. The skills that I will developing will be case management, assessment, treatment planning, administration, community organizing, group facilitation, and cultural diversity. When it comes to school, my plan does include graduate school. Once I graduate and take the exam, I will decide whether I want a job or continue getting my education.

Setting goals is what drives people to growth and change within themselves. If one fails to dream and sets goals, it is unlikely the will grow or change (Scott, 2014). Allowing myself to set goals is a personal commitment and a drive to make change. Growing, educating and knowledge with time allows one to feel safe to dream and thrive to make better and larger goals. My first goal after obtaining my BSN in April 2017 is to work on myself and my family. In my career, my goal will be to work on my clinical ladder and seek ways to improve myself and my facility. There are many committees I would like to join and be a part of at work. I know I will have reached my goal when I have moved up several levels on the clinical ladder. My plans for professional development in the next three to 10 - 15 years will still be working at the bedside spreading my knowledge to others who are willing to learn. If financially I am able I would like to pursue my MSN. Being a leader is something that inspires me and I wish to be knowledgeable enough to help and teach others later in life. The final goal would be to not retire, but to cut down to part time and remain at the bedside. I would love to travel and volunteer my time to others in need of healthcare outside of the US. I will know I have reached this goal when I am at peace

The purpose of this professional development plan is to introduce my counselor identity, my plans for professional development, my clinical and academic training schedule and finally my plans for credentialing in the State of Maryland.

My mission is to become a professional who would manage, lead, and improve a dynamic healthcare system. Understandably, marketing and public relations in healthcare require financing and regulations to make positive impacts in the lives of clients and co-workers. My interest in taking a healthcare career was founded on three factors: leadership, quality improvement, and healthy aging. My career mission is founded on emerging as a skilled servant leader by not doing the job for myself, but to fulfill the organization’s mission. I would prefer serving my clients without an ego and I will include both paperwork helping patients, staff members and official meetings. Overall, I am passionate about a client-directed philosophy that puts the health needs of patients above the convenience of my organization. The current situation demands that healthcare practitioners build healthcare models in the needs of clients served rather than the customs of staff.
