When it comes to my future, I am very open in terms of plans and goals. I know that I want to be happy and healthy, in a job that I love. In my current search, however, I always keep a list of criteria to remind me what I love about my major and where I aspire to be.
1. Creativity
The number one trait I look for in a job would be that I get to use my creativity. Whether I am designing campaign material, writing, using social media, etc., I love that I can have the freedom to put a personal spin on my products. I hope that in a job I will be able to showcase this.
2. Variety
I am a hard worker, and very dedicated to tasks that I am assigned. At the same time, I tend to stay focused best when I have a great variety of tasks. My dream job would include meetings, computer work, research, event planning and design all wrapped up in a pretty package! I thrive in a constantly changing environment.
3. Communication
From a young age, my parents referred to me as "Hooked on Phonics". I have cultivated this love of communicating through years of school and professional experience. Whether I am chatting face to face or posting in a social media forum, I am most certainly a people person!
4. Passion
I find that I work the best when I am passionate about the cause that I am representing. I have created materials for everything from environmental to nonprofit to restaurant. Each of these projects has taken a special place in my heart and I felt truly invested in my efforts. This is also why a nonprofit organization speaks to me. I highly value the feeling I get when I finish up volunteering and I can't imagine getting to do that every day of my life.
Overall, these are just a few things that I search for in a position. Each day I think of a new idea that I want to do with my life. This list keeps me grounded and reminds me why I love what I do!
