So
this week our question is what are your career goals for five and ten years
from now? How will I achieve them? Now, this is a very good question. Most
people don’t even have a plan out of college let alone know what to do or how
to achieve it. Well, lucky for me I have been planning what I have wanted to do
with my career since I started college. Here is my list of goals and what I
plan to do to get them.
After finishing my degree within the first year I would
like to be working in the field. I will start by having my resume circling the
websites like Monster.com, Indeed.com, Career Builder.com and Baker system. I
will also have a website up and running for employers to look at my current
work. For an interview purposes, I plan to have an identity package so I can
give my employers when I meet them.
Hopefully by year three, if I am hired by a company and
getting some experience. If not, (which I hope this doesn’t happen) I will be
making flyer and posting them to Facebook, friends, family and word of mouth on
getting work. I will also go to companies and business that need a redesign on
their work and see if I can help them out. I will also try contract work from
temp services and businesses that want their work sent out.
By year five, I will either be working in a company with
a stable job gaining more work experience or starting my own company with my
good clientele. I will be keeping up with the latest software upgrades and
learning new trends for the industry. Also, I will attend conferences or
workshops that are good for my educational purposes. I will keep my portfolio
up-to-date and add new material to the content of my website and print.
Now year 7, is when it will get interesting for me. This
is the year I will step up my game either on my job or in my business. If I am
working for a company, I will be learning everything an Art Director does in
their job. I will learn, study and get help from people in my building to find
out what the details of the job will be and if I will have to go back to school
to up-grade my skills. If I own a business, I will want to take on more work,
hire people, and build a high clientele that will reach to other businesses in
the local area.
I have reached 10 years and plus, WOW, I can’t believe it
has been ten years. I will have to say that by this time. I will either be an
Art Director for a company I work for or an owner of my own company. On either
side my co-workers, employees and clients will enjoy working with me and
hopefully they will have the same drive, passion and commitment to their work
and the company as I do.
Now, as I read this I hope in five to ten years, these
things come true, but I promise to do my best in everything I do with what I
got to make these goes come true. Hey, If I can get through college after
having two carpel tunnel surgeries, gallbladder surgery, car and computer
problems brake down and losing my job, plus get not one but two different degrees
I think I can make it.
