Based on the results of your StrengthsQuest assessment, please list 3-5 personal objectives centered around YOUR OWN career concerns.
My career concerns focus on mainly developing my current skills and making my as versatile as possible. I 'd like to transition into a consultant, whether it be political or business related. One of the wonderful things I 've learned at my time in DePaul is how to analyze and research within a specific context, as well as apply that context to something entirely different. For instance, my capstone I am currently working on focuses on something relatively historical (Gandhi as a philosopher), and then transition the context of the discussion into something significantly philosophical.

My career path is nowhere near traditional when I compare it to my peers, so a lot of tradition conferences, meetings, and events that focus on history majors don 't apply to me so well since I do not plan to work in a museum, go to law school, or pursue a place in academia. I need to continue visiting the career center to help me reach out to the right people who I can have a discussion with in terms of figuring out how I can execute what I 'd like to
