Individual Essay Paper

Please write a brief, three paged, double-spaced essay describing some of your strengths along with career and personal goals (three to five year plan).

In your paper, be sure to cover the following:

Your Name and Identification on Cover Page

On the cover page of your essay, include:

  • your name, type of work you do, and the geographical area where you live,
  • statement: “Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of MAN 6245”,
  • date (The cover page does not count as one of the three pages of the report.),
  • a personal photo (recommended)

Personal Principals and Values

It is said that the following of one’s personal principles may cause one pain, but if not followed, one’s sense of integrity may be eroded. What personal principles do you hold that you must live by? In a brief paragraph in which you review key principles or values that are important to you, that drive you in life, and how obtained them. What values do you want to demonstrate as you interact with others through your work and at home? To what extent is there congruence in the work that you do and the principles you hold to be important? You need not answer each of these questions specifically, but they may trigger a reflection of your core principles and values and how they may guide you as go forward in your career. You need not avoid spiritual principles or beliefs as long as the focus is on they drive your personal principals and values.

Social Background

Key facts about your early role models, socialization experiences, biases, and social status have had a significant impact on what you have chosen to become. How might these influences affect your career aspirations?

Strengths Assessment

Provide an overview of your personal strengths as revealed per the information from your taking of the Work Preference Indicator (WPI) and a minimum of two other assessments listed below.

WPI

Specifically, your paper should include a direct discussion based on the feedback from exceptional (high and low) scores among the 17 dimensions within the WPI.

In addition to the WPI, you are to include a discussion from a minimum of two other assessments listed below:

  • RIASEC
  • MBTI
  • Big Five

Please do not send the professor the verbatim results from each of your assessments. You should use the results to write your paper, citing exceptional and meaningful scores from them.

Strengths Identified by the Assessments

What common themes seem to show up about you in terms of your strengths that are identified in the assessments? Did you find any surprises or unexpected results? Are there inconsistencies? Explain.

Present the strengths these assessments reveal about you, as well as any differences you might have found in the feedback they have provided you. This is an opportunity to demonstrate critical thinking. Consider representing your strengths visually by using a graphic organizer, infographic diagram, table, etc.

What is unique about you? When referring to the WPI report, please focus on the key information about you per the 17 dimensions presented on the graph (page 2 of the report) rather than the Grand Type descriptions. Matching your WPI report scores to career fields identified in the report, and “Matching Work Preferences with Occupational Choice” will help you gain insight about careers to which you are well-suited.

Capabilities and Deficiencies

What specific skills do you have that are clear assets to you in your chosen profession?

What specific skill areas, experience or lack of educational preparation do you believe may limit you or may need improvement?

Career Vision

Describe the vision you have for your career or occupation. You may want to discuss:

  • What seems to be a good career fit in terms of your interests and personality? Why? If you are not certain about your career path, then state this.
  • What specific job would you really love doing?
  • Finally, have you seen a person in a job that you would really love to do? This is a fundamental question to ask yourself and answer.

Self-Mentoring

If you were your own mentor, what would you suggest you do to further develop yourself and move forward in your career?

Use Of Reviewer Comments

Consider the comments provided you by the two reviewers of your draft. You do not need to follow their recommendations, but you should take them into account as you prepare your final paper.
