Overview:  Create  Your  Job  Objec7ve  

The  Purpose  of  this  module  is  to  take  what  you  have  done  so  far,  and  to:    

•  Develop  a  vision  of  future  possibili?es  using  past  successes  and  failures;  

•  Create  a  job  objec?ve  that  combines  your  past  experience  and  informa?on  to  envision  your  ideal  job;  and  

•  Create  your  Career  Transi?on  Statement  (i.e.,  Elevator  Speech).

Why  Create  Your  Job  Objec7ve?  

If  you  haven’t  decided  or  are  unsure  about  your  job  objec?ve,  this  process  may  help  you  discover  the  founda?on  upon  which  to  begin  making  decisions  about  your  future.  We  begin  with  delinea?ng  “The  Big  Picture”  from  the  previous  sec?ons  to  ensure  that  your  chosen  career  path  fits  with  your  important  mo?va?ons  and  interests.  

Keep  in  mind  that  a  job  objec?ve  creates  focus  or  a  target  for  your  job  search;  through  self-­‐awareness  (knowing  what  ‘floats  your  boat’  )  you  can  determine  the  best  direc?on  to  head.  Another  part  of  the  process  is  to  perform  market  research  through  networking,  online,  and  from  organiza?onal  materials  to  assess  your  professional  constraints  for  achieving  an  ideal  job  at  an  ideal  organiza?on.

•  Cohesively  integrate  your  ac?vi?es  as  part  of  the  job  search  strategy.
