2.
Discuss these jobs (or you can think about all the jobs from today). What kind
of skills and traits do you need to get a job as a strategist? Were there any
jobs that you would consider applying for in the future? (Explain why or why
not)
I
found three jobs from different sectors like automobile industry, retail store
and logistic company. I have found jobs in following
Hyundai
company- Strategic Planner
COLDWATER CREEK- Strategic Planner on
logistic field
Creative
Circle- Strategic planner or strategic management
All
the above jobs are related to strategic. It shows that in every field strategic
is need weather it is Automobile Company or retail outlet for boutique. On each
field it need a skill, as the criteria for the all the jobs has only Bachelor
degree. The job includes most of the experience in the related field but I feel
that I will be make and manage with post and situation which may arise. I have
the confidence that I can do better job as I have some years of experience. I
have experience that it requires team player activities.
I
feel to apply on creative Circles for the future as I have the experience on
the similar field. The requirement of the company also meets and I feel that I can
manage to maintain the level on the post. It is very interesting to learn new
idea and innovative idea like new color trends and fashion changes by 3 months
period.
3. What do you want to do when you have
finished this course? What skills do you want to improve in the next year in
order to help you reach your goals?
I would like to join a fashion industry
to increase my experience as we know practical is better way to learn faster. I
would learn more by experiencing it. After having a some experience then I would
like to open my own business and work in an effective manner.
I think I have to develop my public
speaking technique as I trend to speak fast so it becomes hard for the listener
to understand. I still feel that I lack in self decision making system
sometimes due to pressure I tend to make wrong decision. I would like to build
the interaction skill amongst the colleague and customer. These things improve
to obtain my goal.
