Introduction The intent of this paper is to give the reader a clear and concise idea of the path that I will be looking to take to get to my ultimate goal of attaining the title and position of Chief Operating Officer of a public transit agency.
Career Goals and Objectives My primary career goal is to make to the highest position I can within my organization then possibly work my way into a position associated with the National Transportation and Safety Board. My objectives are to continue to progress through the ranks of my organization and eventually obtain my doctorate degree by continuing my education and thus giving myself a better chance at reaching my career goals.
Promotional Opportunities Within my particular organization there no promotional opportunities that I am fit for at this time since the positions that are available are not within the realm of my knowledge base. But, as time passes and I not only further my education; but, I also further my knowledge of all aspects of our transit agency then I will be able to apply for the positions that I am not currently suited for. And also as employees retire and/or separate employment form my agency then there may be openings that I would be suitable for. When these positions do become open it is generally posted on the company website (www.gcrta.com) or on a public transportation website that not only has recent news and discussions about the goings on within the transit industry; but, they also have listings for open positions in various agencies, www.transittalent.com.

Methods for Career Management I do not see that there are any exactly defined methods in which I can manage my career goals, but I can do my best to manage my possibilities for furthering my career. One way that I will always work on managing my career advancement is to continually educate myself about not only my

    Professional Career Action Plan

    When I first started out going to school after college I thought that I wanted to be a teacher and so right after high school I started going to school to be an elementary teacher. I quit school because I wanted to move out of my parent’s house and be on my own so I got a full time job. After I moved and got stable I went back to get my early elementary degree. After about a year and a half I got pregnant and had my son and couldn’t go to class in the morning after being up all night with a toddler and then to work so I quit school again until my son got older. My son was able to start school when he was two so I decided to go back to school and get my educational degree. As I was going to school I was also volunteering at my son’s school and that is when I decided I really didn’t want to be a teacher and I was undecided what I wanted to do and I knew I was wasting my money and time going to school so I quit once again. I got a job at a temp agency working for the temp sending people on assignments and after a year the company decided they were going to close the company in my location but my supervisor got me a job at Advanced Radiology Services doing data entry putting in codes in the system.

Team appraisal systems require that each individual be responsible for their own contribution. Although, the team is appraised as a whole, individuals should hold it their responsibility to contribute fairly. Another necessity in team would be to allow team members evaluate each other. Each member knows exactly what he/she contributed so therefore they can rate other members of the team depending on their…

This goal is incorporated in several statements of education goals, including the Standards of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and the Regulations of the RI Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education, which require that school districts provide for “each individual student’s social/emotional, academic, and career needs.” Having such knowledge and skills will enable citizens to be happier and more productive and to better contribute to their prosperity and that of the economy and society. The Rhode Island Career Resource Network (CRN) provides training to counselors, teachers, and others who assist students or clients with career management.
