Career Planning

   There are three career objectives I have for the next five years. I am currently a senior in Baruch and I am in my last semester of my bachelors degree in Management of Musical Enterprise. My first goal is to finish off this semester in a good academic standing and enjoy my graduation festivities. My second goal is to find a job that is related to my field as in a music record company that will lead for a good salary and better way of living. My third goal is to move up the career latter and work for the Latin division of a record label.
   In order for my goals to be accomplished I have to recognize my strengths and weaknesses I have. A key strength that I have is the ability to never give up even when the road to my success seems difficult. Another strength that I have is that I have a strong mind and know exactly what it will take for me to succeed. My weakness is that I am very impatient when it comes down to getting these career objectives in motion because I want things to happen at the present but I realize that everything in life takes time.

Plan of Action
 1. In order to finish this semester in a good academic standing I must stay on top of my studies. This will involve a schedule in which I can balance school, work, internship and my personal life.
2. To find a job within my career path I must finish school and my current internship and start applying and looking for jobs, even if its an entry level position that involve just office work. I must be patient and build up my networking skills because my career choice is about who I know and how can these individuals help me achieve my career goals.
3. In order for me to achieve my ideal dream job of working in the Latin division of a record label I must first increase my work experience, understand the business and create the correct contacts that will take to where I want to be.

  1. I see you and I have similar career objectives. Having the "not quitting" attitude is important to have especially in the field we're trying to get into. Work experience is very important and its best we get something before graduation. Strive and maintain level headed, these goals are definitely attainable. Let's make these dreams reality. Networking is also very important and it's best to leave a good impression with the people you're trying to do business with.
