Some individuals have a drive and passion for a specific career and there is no question what they would love to spend their life doing as a career. While others know that they have likes and dislikes but are not sure what direction their life will end up taking them career wise. Either way getting started in the career field you choose can be exciting while also being scary as it is a new adventure. Colorado State University has set up a “career center” that can be very beneficial and helpful to get someone started and on their way to a great career in their chosen field.

I am at home raising my children and just started back to school to get my degree in Human Resource Management so that I can begin a hopefully successful career for myself. I have no yet started and will not be able to start until my Bachelors degree is finished. While I love that I am able to stay at home with my children every day and watch them grow and help them learn new things and teach them right from wrong I definitely have lost myself and miss working. Therefore in the next three to four years I would love to be in the beginning stages of a very successful career that I love, in Human Resource Management. I do fear the struggles I may face finding a job after not working for so many years as well as the struggles that I know I will face with such a life change of going back to work. However I am up for the challenge and looking forward to it because I know that I can do it and I will succeed. I know that I will be an asset to whatever team I begin working with because I possess several helpful and good qualities. Two of which include, my decision making and problem solving which I believe somewhat go hand in hand. I believe these are good qualities that I would bring to a team and be able to help out because you have to be able to make a decision. You cannot sit back and have everyone walk you through everything and wait for someone to tell you every step you must take and make every decision for you, that is not helping the team progress that is likely slowing the team down

This will entail for our company’s morals and prior knowledge to be passed down to our new leadership recruits. I also feel that it will continue to give our company a good reputation as being a place that challenges our employees and works dramatically to enhance their careers.…

    I learned that there are so many opportunities out there just waiting to be taken, and that I need to take these opportunities if I want to become successful. While I enjoyed partaking in LIFE I did not make a connection with anyone that could aid with my professional goals yet, although I am sure that it will happen if I start putting myself out there more and begin networking as I become more comfortable in the group.

    While work experience is sought after (and I feel that I have a decent amount of experience), adding a degree adds another element that is desired in the workforce today. By finishing my degree, along with past work experience in different fields, I will become a stronger member of any team I join. In order to be able to achieve these goals I can lean on the tools such as those provided by the Colorado State University-Global [CSU-Global] (2015) Career Center which has compiled tools in the form of assessments, tutorials, and definitions to help direct students as they transition into their new career.

    My Dad definitely understands that this is “my life” and supports me just as much as my Mom. My Mom is also very loving and caring, but perhaps a little too overbearing. I understand that my parents just want me to succeed and want me to do great things but sometimes I feel confliction between my personal goals and what I want to become and who they want me to become and what they want me to do. It is probably a thing that a lot of us face when going off to college, “you should major in this, you should join this club, you should apply for this job.” It is not an easy thing to do at this age, I am trying to figure out what my passions are, what I would like to do for a career and you also have your parents input of what they think you should do. I understand that my parents intentions are to try to help me but I believe that only you hold the key to your own destiny and only you can find…
