Already having experience in the business world has proven to me that it is essential to have skills to maintain and improve daily functions. Three skills I’d personally like to improve on are my organizational, time management, and presentation skills. At my place of employment for the past five years, I’ve noticed that as I gain more and more responsibilities, it becomes harder to remember appointments or find items on my desk. The need to become more organized is quickly becoming a necessity. If I were more organized, I’d spend less time searching for things and would have more time to dedicate to my new responsibilities. This, in effect, will help improve my time management skills at work which will hopefully rub off on my habits in my personal life. If improvement was made on my organizational and time management skills, I’d hope that I’d feel more prepared and therefore, more comfortable to make presentations in both the classroom and the workplace. In order to further my career with my current employer, I would need to apply these skills in my position.
I’ve seen first hand that being complacent will not take you far and that only learning what you “need to” will rapidly expose the ceiling of how far up the ladder you can go. By just going through the motions of coming to work everyday, only getting done what has to be done, and going home at the end of the day, one might realize that an everyday routine can quickly turn into a mundane professional life. At the same time, if a person does all of these things, but shows a bit of initiative to gain more knowledge of the job, they may see an opportunity to slightly move up in the company. The latter is my situation. My experience and knowledge of my department and its systems have afforded me the opportunity to move up within the department over the past five years, but I’m beginning to see a limit of how far those skills alone will allow me to climb. Being an expert in my field of pharmaceutical benefits doesn’t translate into managing personnel just as knowing how to complete a task doesn’t mean I’m able to give a clear presentation on how it should be done. Sure, I’ve been rewarded for the work I’ve done and knowledge I’ve obtained, but at some point, my employer will eventually see that more is needed to continue to promote me to higher, more management focused positions.
The Homework on Time Management Work Business Make
Theory: Time is a scarce resource. It is irreplaceable and irreversible... There is a whole system of smaller metaphors under the! (R) time is money! umbrella, such as: ! +/- yesterday is a canceled cheque, tomorrow is a promissory note and today is ready cash. Use it. ! +/- (John A. 1988, P 9) Therefore, to save time we must spend time. Maybe there are hundred ways of time management, but today I ...
My goal is to complete these courses and obtain my degree to prove that, if the situation arises, I can be the right person for the job. A more personal goal of mine is to finish what I’ve started. After high school, I attended community college that was just down the road. My hope was that it would make the jump from high school to college an easier transition. I soon found that one of the main differences was the fact that attendance was not as strictly enforced as it was in high school and, being a teenager, I immediately blew off classes in favor of just hanging out with friends or picking up that extra shift at the restaurant to earn more spending cash. After taking classes here and there over the span of two and half years, I found paying bills to be a more pressing need than finishing school. Moving from one full-time job to the next and constantly putting of returning to school became the norm in my life.
Not until I started with my current employer. did I stay with one job more than three years. What began as a temporary position became a steady paycheck. After three years and two promotions, I began to realize that this had the potential to become a career. I was enjoying what I was doing and got the feeling that it was more that just a job and a paycheck. I was making a difference with a Fortune 500 company. Again, I put off returning to school thinking that I didn’t have time for it.
School Time Wanted Home
The day was coming, my feelings were getting nervous, scared, more like terrified. Mixed feelings were coming alive in me when I thought about going to school also how I felt about experiencing a new and different life. At the age of twelve my life was shifted. First day of school came walking onto the campus it was a whole different feeling than what I was used to. New and different faces turned ...
Of course I’d always wanted to go back, if for no other reason than to finish what I’d started years earlier, but my thought was “Where can I find the time?” Even after the first class I started to have reservations about if this was the right time for me to get back into the ring as a student and if I would be able to dedicate the necessary time to my learning team and assignments. I realized that I need to prove to myself that I can finish what I started, even if it is the second time around. All of these goals I believe are obtainable ones and each one will lead into the next. By finishing what I started in going back to school, completing the courses, and earning my degree, I will learn new skills and improve one ones I already possess, which I will be able to use in the workplace to further my career..
