Where I would like to be? Working with people in the corporate world and understanding social behavior is without a doubt a setting where I want to continue gaining experience and expanding my knowledge. Idealistically I would love to see myself in a position where it would be intrinsically as well as extrinsically rewarding; I am at an age where I comprehend that money does not equate to happiness. As a novice in the field I do not yet have sufficient understanding of all the positions available with a degree in I/O. A plethora of occupations could benefit from the understanding of the fundamental principles provided by an I/O psychologist. While working at Ross Stores, I catch myself observing the hierarchical pyramid of the HR department, …show more content…
My long-term professional development goals would be the ladder I will need to climb to becoming a Director of a large HR firm. My route to achieving these goals has just started this year by attending graduate school, and hopefully will continue on. My initial step is to obtain an internship, preferably an internal internship. An internship in internal consulting would provide me with an opportunity to experience a variety of I/O projects dealing with employment selection, training, and performance feedback systems (www.siop.org). I have currently applied to five different internships within the last week, which I have found accessing the homepage of SIOP and SHRM homepage websites, to of which I have become a student member. I also plan to attend Magner Career Center next job fair (September 29) to better prepare for an internship interview and to find an Internship that would benefit me the most.

Ross stores is a very large organization and perhaps this is fast paced rhythm of employee promotions is not the norm the majority of organizations follow, I am solely using this particular organization as an example due to my limited knowledge in the field. However, I believe most HR firms within organizations will value the quality of an employee’s work. Regardless of the organization I will one day end up being employed in, I refuse to ever settle in a comfort zone if my work is not being sufficiently valued. If the organization that I will work for does not have a strong emphasis on employee appraisals, such a Ross Stores, I plan to apply to different organization for higher level positions where I feel I have sufficient knowledge and experience in. I will endeavor to always put in my best work to prove to my team, and most importantly to myself, that I am capable of achieving and exceeding leadership of a successful

I will also share my learning through this assignment, and recommendations on fixing

According to Grossman and Valiga’s Leadership Characteristics and Skills Assessment, the interpretation of scores for perception of what makes a good leader gave me the following results: good perception of a good leader and the scores for perception of your own ability to lead resulted in low perceived leadership ability for myself (Grossman and Valiga, 2013).

When considering the term management, there has always been a common miss conception that this automatically makes an individual a leader. Leadership is only a single element of the management role. Many times managers are more comfortable utilizing a particular leadership style. While this may work well the majority of the time, certain employees or situations may require a different approach.
