Professional growth will quickly come from these two because these goals are more immediate.

Imagine yourself waiting to be interviewed for a job. You are probably nervous and wondering what specific questions will be asked, and may have even googled some usual interview questions to help yourself prepare to answer the recruiter’s questions. The recruiter steps into the room introduces themselves and starts asking questions. He asks you “Where do you see yourself in five years?” as this is a common interview question. Do you have an answer? Or does your mind go blank as you attempt to answer a question you were not prepared for. Whatever your answers to these questions are its important to always have some idea of what your long term and short term goals are for your future. I am being well prepared to answer this question in any interview by Dr. Marlo Kibler as a student in Dynamics of Leadership at Kent State University.

The first SMART goal that I would like to accomplish to help improve my leadership skills if barcoding all stock rooms for each department. Barcoding each department will save time, money, faster customer service, and better accuracy of ordering. The nurses would save time as well as they are not having to input a fourteen-digit number to charge just one item each time a supply is used on a patient. They can focus more on the patient.
Another SMART goal I have is to find a better balance between personal and work life by taking short breaks to reduce stress. Lately, I have been overwhelmed with the demands that come from my part-time job and school. These demands have caused me to be fatiguing and I find myself having a harder time to complete work. To ensure that this goal will be measurable, I will try my best to take short 15 minute breaks every hour. I feel that this will help me feel more relaxed and feel less overwhelmed. To attain this goal, I will require a timer and breathing exercises or even a sketchbook. I will time 15 minutes every hour and let myself do breathing exercises or colour around in my sketchbook. However, realistically, this goal can be
As promised, I have managed to come out with something. These goals are challenging. I will wish we take just one. However, taking a second goal will not be a problem if the goal is gear toward networking.

In the fall of 2017 I will be attending Lycoming College. I am currently undecided on what I will be majoring in but, I do know one thing. I want to travel. I want to see all that the world has to offer and see every corner of the globe possible.

My smart goal for this semester was to spend more time on studying, which would help me to get an A in most of my classes. The reason I chose this goal was to maintain my GPA because I will transfer next semester. I planned to start my program by the first day of the semester, which gives me plenty of time to achieve my goal.
