Goals: 1. To clearly convey my career goals. 2. To write a letter that shows the instructor my goals and expectations of myself. 3. To write it as clear and as realistic as possible so that I can have a plan that is useful. 4. To organize my writing in an orderly fashion.

When I graduate from college I want to go into my career as fast as possible after taking some time off first. A job that I want to have immediately after graduating would be the position of a Human Resource Coordinator. After more years of experience in the human resource field like 5 or more years I want to go back to school to get an MBA and then I would like to be a Human Resource Director or something prestigious like that. In order to be a HR coordinator I need to posses excellent time management skills, problem-solving skills and the ability to handle multiple tasks. Also I need to have excellent verbal and written communication skills. I must have good experience facilitating team meetings and trainings. Also I must possess strong organizational skills and have attention to detail which I will continue to work on because I don’t have the best time management or organizational skills. Also let’s not forget I need to have at least a Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field. A job title that I would like have after many years of experience in HR would be a HR Director but I would need to get a MBA before I could attain that job title.

First of all, I just want to work period but if I had a choice for a small or large business, I would choose to work for a small business first and then transition into a larger business. I want work for a small business because I want to get my foot in the door and gain experience before moving onto larger businesses.

I believe almost every aspect of the course learning will be valuable towards my future profession. I have improved on my written communication skills, especially on a formal style of writing letters. Speaking in front of the class and giving group presentations have enhanced my communication skills. I have gained some insight on how to act and dress accordingly in a business environment and how to approach problems and obstacles with more clarity and understanding.
