Planning for professional career

By s0125738

Personal Goals:

My three main important goals involve all daily living that include career, personal and life goals. My Career goals primarily encompass the ability to be able to find a career that I am extremely passionate about so it feels not like a career but more like a hobby that I love doing everyday of my life. If it involves anything that I love doing it won’t simply seen as a chore. My personal goals seem to always reflect on either sport or sporting excellence. This is also another hobby of mine that im daily involved in and simply love being apart of. Currently, my personal goal involves winning a state bodybuilding title in the next few weeks then traveling down to Sydney to compete in the Nationals the week after. This is a short term goal of mine. Long term, my personal goals not only involve bodybuilding but also life in general. I want to finish my Bachelor of Human Movement Studies then complete a Dip of Education next year. I wish to then travel to either the UK or Canada and teach in one of these countries. My goal is to one day start a family, with a loving and wonderful wife, to whom I hope to experience both the highs and lows of life in general with but to also experience the joy of raising children, paying a mortgage and enjoying the process of growing old.

 

Values and Attitude:

I would describe the position of work in my life in one statement ‘I work to live’. That being said, I love the work im currently involved in but I could never be the type of person who lives and dies by their work. At the end of the day, nothing can compare to being able to spend time with your loved ones or doing the things you love doing. No form of rewards, whether it is career advancement, recognition or pay rises could ever change this. Work is just a means of being able to pay for the things I enjoy.  Therefore, I would definitely place family ahead of my work. Although I love my hobbies, unfortunately at the end of they day they would be placed second to work as with study, leisure time and gatherings and parties with friends.  I have always been taught that you only ever get out what you put in, and the rewards from your work will always reflect what you’ve put in. Some rewards are obviously more important than others but at the end of the day, those most important to me are advancement, recognition, being valued and having a high rapport amongst your fellow employees are those I value the most.

 

Interests

My interest heavily encompasses anything to do with health and fitness, whether that is staying fit, personal training, nutrition or further research involving these areas. I am interested in traveling abroad to various locations and one day I hope to ride a motorbike across America.

 

Personal Attributes:

I always excel at something that interests me and this must be factored into my chosen career. I find that once I am interested about a topic I have the ability to discuss it openly and passionately with almost anyone or whoever seeks advice. I feel certain attributes reflect my personality more than others. These include intelligence, responsibility, temperament, competitiveness, confidence and persistence. I would like to develop my skills further in the areas of organizing and planning as I believe those who think they know everything know nothing and the more you know the more value of a team member you are.

 

What employers really want:

I believe I possess the important attributes of an employee that employers seek. More importantly, I have the ability to work as part of a team and display the willingness to be involved in all aspects of working life.
