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.
