In a year, I want to find a job that is going to challenge me mentally, that is going to make me grow and learn different skills. I want to find a place where I will flourish and let me be creative. I hope that this summer I will have the chance to work full-time for a graphic and web design company. I want to work somewhere where I have a sense of belonging. A place where I have recognition for my work. I think these are important for a workplace because you will want to work every day and the more you feel appreciated in your workplace, the more you will produce good quality work.

 

Next fall I want to go back to school I don’t know what yet, but I want to find something that I going to work with people, be creatively challenged and that I won’t sit at a desk all day. Even though I love Graphic Design, I always want to learn new skills and it helps me improve as a person. I want to find a job where I can use my graphic design skills that lets me be up and moving.

 

Even though I’m going back to school, I’m going to still be working part-time. Even though I’m at school, I need to work to save money and keep me busy. I have a good work/school balance and want to maintain this schedule. Keeping up with a crazy schedule like this is not always easy for everybody, but I managed to keep 2 jobs full-time last summer and since I like my jobs it was fun. That shows that I’m very organized and have great time management skills. 

 

I also want to travel somewhere in the next year. I love to travel and explore new places. It helps me mentally to have a break while experiencing new things.

I don’t have one ideal career path, but I have many options. One of them includes me being the owner of a company because It’s my goal in life to own a company and be able to make it grow. I know this is a little cheesy but my grandpa who passed away last year always told me that owning his business made him fulfilled and happy in his life. By owning a business, you do a lot of different jobs and I think that it would be perfect for me since I like doing different stuff. It is different every day and I can never get bored.

Another career goal would be to work in the public, I have two choices for next year which are, elementary school teaching and hairdressing. I know these are very different fields, but they have all three of my requirements for my future job. My main requirements are to be helping others, to have a creative side and to be moving all day. I know I cannot sit at a desk and must move and do something mentally challenging to be truly fulfilled. I know that with these jobs, I can use my graphic design skills to help me improve in these fields. For example, as a teacher, there are a lot of learning tools you can create that can help the children learn visually. Also, in hairdressing, you are self-employed, which is why you need graphic design skills to promote yourself.

Another career goal would be to have my own graphic design company. I want to have a small business where I can create a cordial environment for the employees to come to work every day. I also want to provide the best service possible to my clients and coach them through the importance of branding in their company.  I’ll also offer photography services because I love doing this. Not all clients have good photography that represents their company and offering this service would just improve their graphic design needs.
