The first objective to prepare for a future career is to gain sufficient proficiency in communicating with employers. The performance aspect of this objective can be defined as the ability to engage in meaningful communication with the representative of a company or organization in the field of my interest. The conditions necessary to fulfill the objective include a real-life scenario and the ability to gather the information and prepare for the conversation beforehand. Finally, the main criterion of successful completion of an objective is to successfully locate and communicate with four representatives within a month.
The second objective is to demonstrate proper preparation for an event where job opportunities can be located (e.g. a career fair). The performance component of the objective is thus to locate suitable events within a reasonable timeframe, identify the requirements for participation, and prepare all the necessary materials and fulfill other relevant criteria. The important conditions of the objective are the timeliness of the objective (the ability to meet the event’s deadline) and the ability to prepare the necessary materials using only independent inquiry. Finally, the criterion of successful completion is the ability to participate in at least one event and detecting no more than one gap in the preparation process.
The third objective is to engage in and complete the internship application of the organization of interest. The performance component, in this case, will be to locate a program of interest, identify the requirements, and submit necessary materials. The conditions include the real-life setting and the alignment of the organization with the desired area of employment. The main criterion is the ability to locate and complete at least one internship program within a week.
