In the following paragraphs I will discuss some of my goals that I intend to achieve as a student at the University of Phoenix. I have many goals; some are short term and some long term. I hope that after reading this you will have a better understanding of just a few of my goals.

I need to be able to understand their needs and wants and be able to explain to them in a clear and concise way that I will be able to fulfill that need or want. Additionally, I am employed full time as a mid-level supervisor by a local defense contractor and have the same need to communicate clearly to the employees that I am responsible for. I would also like to improve my writing skills. I am frequently required to produce written reports. I want to be able to write a professional report with confidence.
I have a goal to increase my marketability as a prospective employee. Like the majority of today’s workers, I expect to be looking for a new job in the near future. I believe that with increased levels of skill and knowledge that I gain by attending the University of Phoenix I will have an easier time finding a new career when the time comes. With the current trends in the job market, a college level education is almost mandatory to be seriously considered as a potential employee.

I want to learn the skills required to better understand and deal with my employees, coworkers and customers.
