Goals

To write clear and concise To define my career goals To write grammatically correct

I am ahead of the curve in my career. I am currently a manager for Costco Wholesale and am still in the process of finishing up my degree at Cal Poly Pomona. I aspire to become an assistant warehouse manager for Costco within the next year or so. I would be the youngest assistant in the company however, that does not concern me because I am currently the youngest in the company at my current position. Within 5 years I aspire to be a warehouse manager or a regional VP. I would again by far be the youngest to achieve those positions. I have a lot of ground to cover before then however I feel confident that I have what it takes with my educational background and ability to persevere that I can make my dreams a reality. The largest stepping-stone for me is my lack of experience. I have the ability to inspire and lead people, the ability to make decisions in a seconds notice, and many other desired qualities to be an assistant manager yet, I am lacking in the length I have been in my current position. I plan to defy the norm, overcome the glass ceiling, and become the youngest person to become an assistant warehouse manager within the next year. My 5-year goal is even more challenging to achieve than my one-year goal. Warehouse managers are typically 50 plus years old and have been with the company for 20 plus years. In 5 years I will have been with the company for 10 years and barely have hit 30 years old. The odds of becoming a warehouse manager are very minimal and the responsibility is very extensive, however I do feel that I am capable of doing such a job in 5 years. The competitive advantage that I feel that I have over most is my education. Very little managers at Costco have a college degree. Not only will I have the degree, I will have the skill sets that are only obtained by attending college. College allows you to interact with groups and work together to accomplish the same common goal. This is a very useful tool in corporate America.
