PERSONAL STATEMENT

My goals and aspirations of occupational progression are comprehensively supplemented by my experience with technical, complex, creative, and intense competition, skills training, and related management. Although eccentric, these activities have deeply advanced more basic skill-sets: leadership, planning and organization, communications skills and advanced cognitive, spatial, and logical reasoning— skills applicable to any line of work. I strive to apply these talents to all areas of occupation, and further value a personal drive to go beyond a level of only “getting the job done”. I have plans of returning to a top-flight masters program for obtaining an M.A. or M.S. in I/O Psychology, or an M.B.A. I also plan on obtaining a PHR and SPHR certification. These goals will support my initiative and interest of working within a leadership role in an organization—ideally as a human resources director. Alternatively, I’m always open to pursuing other career paths with an application of my skills and abilities—given the possibility of advancement.

Examples of applicable HR and I/O Psychology methodologies, such as pay gradeing, job description and analysis, and structured interviewing with scoring weights available upon request.
