I recently read an excellent article on NASPA's NetResults (http://www.naspa.org/membership/mem/nr/article.cfm?id=1630) that suggested reflective journaling of major points along a career timeline. With my annual evaluation around the corner, I figured what better time to begin this journey of self-reflection thus far, and to begin chronicling from this point forward.
I have been building a timeline of significant events in my professional career, and a future post will included outlining those key moments. For now, I start with a refreshed perspective on my current position, and some more concretely defined short-term and long-term goals to bring to this position, my department, and to the College in general. These goals will also be featured in a future post.
I've had several "false starts" with blogging in the last few months, so my first few posts are actually copied and re-posted from other blogs I (half-heartedly) maintained. Those blogs may have fallen apart, but these posts reflected significant moments for me that I feel are important to include in this blog.
This blog is timed just right, and I need to set the goal to maintain and update this for all my major events in my career, my personal life as it relates to my career, and my graduate education, all as I tread water through these "new professional" years.
Here's to the future!
