Target Setting

In order to develop a clear sense of what you're aiming for on the course and beyond, you need to get into the habit of setting short and long term targets. As an introduction to this, complete the following task:

  • Identify your ideal (but realistic) job goal and list the 5 steps (or more if necessary) you would need to take to get there. These steps should include training, qualifications and experience
  • Identify your role model – a person you aspire to be like based on their achievements, their success, their personality, something they’ve contributed to the world as a whole etc. They need not be connected to computing. They could be from any field and you are of course, free to include members of your family, friends, partners etc. Explain why they inspire you and exactly what it is about them you aspire to be like.

Write down you ideas and retain them for your portfolio.

Alternatively, if you wish others to read your thoughts, post them in response to this post.

Thanks

Kerry

now my head's all baffled thinking of ways to write a blog about remembering to schedule time to write a blog about scheduling time.. I may need to re-think this

That's brilliant.

Your targets are certainly SMART and definitely likely to be achieved. CCNA feedback is very positive and you seem to be making impressive progress there.

Check back on your targets over the next few weeks and make sure that you have achieved the initial targets you've set - then set yourself some more!

Thanks
