If there's anything that's been pounded into my head as a business major, it's the importance of goals. Whether it's a personal goal or a company wide mission statement, the business world appreciates a good solid goal. What's more is that these goals have to have a defined deadline and be measurable and attainable.
So in the interest of applying what I've paid to learn, I'll utilize this tool here.
Short Term
Deadline: End of spring semester, May 2013
1. Maintain at least a 3.5 GPA in my classes
2. Choose one on campus club/organization and get involved!
3. Write cover letter/resume
4. Apply for at least 4 summer internships
Long(er) Term
Deadline: Within the year
1. Ditto on the GPA, including summer and fall classes
2. Complete summer internship
3. Get started studying for the GMAT/review course
4. Stay involved on campus and maintain contacts
5. Get to know professors for letters of recommendation
I don't think I've ever actually made goals before that don't have something to do with wake up, do laundry, don't lose your keys/phone/wallet, so think of these as a rough draft. I think goals can be edited and transform to adapt to change, so you might see these lists grow as I continue on my quest.
(I've always wanted to go on a quest :) )
