In a few months ago, at the company I work for, a supervisor position opening within the manufacturer department has posted for all of internal employees with a desire for career advancement opportunity. With full of excitement and energy, I went straight to the human resources office. I did not bother to read the job descriptions and requirements.I filled out the application with full of confidents that I have met all the requirements.
Few weeks later, I received an e-mail announcing of the supervisor position, which I applied for, has been filled. The announcement was generated by the manufacturer department manager. On his e-mail, he stated that, “a person by the name of such. Please join me in welcoming him to our team. He came to us from such company, number of years he work there, with an AS degree, and all the experiences which he acquired from the company he worked for etc.” I realized that I do not have a degree in anything.
The next day I called up one of my friend, whom I served two terms with in the US Navy.I obtained phone number and information I needed to know about pursing a bachelor’s degree of some kind. Next thing I know, I enrolled and currently am attending as a student at the University of Phoenix to pursuing a degree in management. By knowing the result of my work culture preferences, I can set goals and taking all the necessary steps to reach them.
