...would do anything to make my dreams come true. I knew that I would not let anyone stand in the way of my goals and dreams. My passion is to become a business owner of my own hair salon or beauty salon. Being the youngest out of my sister and me, I knew that I have a lot of pressure and expectations to follow behind. My parents always put pressure on to do well in school and go above and beyond especially when it came to grades. I remember the first time in middle school when I brought home a C on my report card. I was so disappointed and scared to show my parents. At that young age, disappointing my parents was not an option I had or something I wanted to experience. I remember going...

...Hidden job Market Assignment The purpose of this assignment is to identify my own personal strategies to find unadvertised job opportunities. There are three networking techniques that I will be practical in assisting me in my desired job search and maintaining the contacts thereafter, they are Push, Pull, and Maintain. Part 1: Push: Reach Out to the “Hidden Job Market” Simply defined, this means to “reach out to potential employers and potential co-workers, but reach out socially as a student, colleague, business colleague, or mentor not as a job seeker.” (Job-hunt.org) It is said that most jobs are not advertised on the classified or Web job boards, which create the “Hidden Job Market.” In my strategic plan to Push I will consider the following ideas: Volunteering (Internships) I personally find volunteering one of the most beneficial strategies to reach out because not only will I gain skills and experience, but also the ability to network among peoples in the field that I find interest in. I currently hold a part time job and since I am getting near my graduation with in six months, it is a good time to seek an internship at a company that I am interested. I will inquire information in person or either calling or writing a letter to them and telling them why they would benefit from allowing me the opportunity to intern. If I am lucky I might even get paid a decent wage as an intern, that sounds cool to me, plus it will sound good in my resume also. ...

...have an extraordinary job in his early childhood, be it an astronaut or a scientist. Later on, getting older, you also start to consider the money you earn in a job and suddenly, not only you want to become a doctor, a lawyer or a superstar. Does your ideal job go hand in hand with a high salary then, or do you want to enjoy what you are doing? I started to think about my ideal job, when I was working as a waitress in a hotel in the summertime. I'll never forget the time when I had to work ten hours a day without a minute sitting but running with plates from one table to another, beside, serving some customers. Thus I could imagine how hard work can be for just little money. There is nothing worse than physical work that exhausts you, so my idea of an ideal job is neither an extremely active work, nor a sedentary job, but something in between. Furthermore, work should be fun. You may not agree with me, but I think that as long as you enjoy your activities earning little money, you can call the work your dream job. However, the pleasure I am thinking of does not exclude stress or barriers, because work otherwise would be aimless and without any outcome. The ideal job I have in my mind is being a flight attendant. It is true that it is tiring to face passengers, even those who behave badly with a smiling face all the time but I would get the chance to travel around the world, and that is, in my eyes the best job. If you ask me, a dream job is not only related to...

Answering the aforementioned question is the purpose of this paper, and the premise of the research thus conducted. In order to answer and address this issue, it is first necessary to examine different aspects of entrepreneurship, as well as, current market conditions, which make this alternative an attractive choice for so many business professionals. I have often thought about the vest means of achieving success. Success can be measured in many different fashions. There is career success, success in academics, competition, and self-actualization. For the scope of this research paper, I will limit the definition of success as being measured by financial freedom and independence. As both a student and working professional, I have a strong belief and desire to perform to my highest potential, both in the classroom and in the office. Ultimately, like many others, the purpose of my efforts is to achieve this financial freedom and independence from an employer. The traditional means of achieving success, I have followed and been an active participant.

...2012 Professor’s Jacqueline Maresch Business Administration is a degree that I believe fits me well. I think that to achieve what I want in life that this is the best field of study for me. I want to be successful. I want to be wealthy. I want to change the world for the better. That’s the same way that one man thought back in the early 1970’s. This man was Steven Paul Jobs. Over the last 30 years he has paved the way for an industry that is constantly changing. He was a man that came from nothing and showed the world that anybody who dreams for something can accomplish it. He is a leader not only in business but also in the world. Many people look up to him, including myself, and I would one day hope to possess an ounce of the leadership that he had. I have already attained my associate’s degree in business administration in June of 2011 from Orange County Community College in Middletown New York. While there I learned the basics to what it takes to become successful in the business industry. The reason that I chose this degree is because I work for Best Buy. When I started there I knew that I wanted to be more than a part timer. I knew that one day I wanted to work my way up the ladder and become a bigger piece to the puzzle. So I worked hard and decided to start college. Now that I am a supervisor and that I have one degree under my belt I just want to continue the push myself to do more. The next step would be management in my job, and I hope to have that within the next...

...benefits from acquiring a degree are worth the efforts and hard work. With the current national unemployment rate at 9.7% (US Department of Labor, Feb 2010) and steadily rising, it seems improbable that finding that “ideal” job is likely. During these tough economic times, I find myself with a bachelor’s degree at a low paying job with a child to take care of. It is because of this situation that I have chosen to pursue a Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) degree with an emphasis in Accounting; receiving higher education could be the answer to my problem. According to the job outlook by education 2006-16 (Occupational Outlook Quarterly), increased earnings and lower rates of unemployment are trends associated with additional levels of education (Liming & Wolf, 2008). After taking the Jungian 16-Type Personality Self-Assessment test, scoring ISTJ, I found that my results support my decision to pursue my MBA with an emphasis in Accounting. A person scoring ISTJ are found to be organized, compulsive, private, trustworthy, and practical people. Their possible career choices are office manager, accountant, business manager, tax agent, and public servant (Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007). I recognize that I possess these characteristics in regard to my professional and personal lifestyle. I will argue that pursuing and obtaining an MBA will provide many benefits and allow me to achieve both personal and professional goals. Benefits of an MBA An MBA involves extreme...
