My One-Year Career and Life Goals
In this blog post, I want to share my short-term goals for the upcoming year, which revolve around my career, job prospects, industry preferences, and where I plan to live. Let’s dive right into it.
Financial Stability and Living Situation
First and foremost, my primary goal for the next year is to achieve a level of financial stability that alleviates the stress I’ve experienced in the past. Fortunately, I’ll still be sharing an apartment in Pierrefonds with my brother. Montreal is where I’ve chosen to continue residing, primarily because it offers a plethora of exciting opportunities for my freelance endeavors.
Career Focus
My professional journey will continue to be centered around graphic design contracts and hosting professional events. Graphic design has been a passion of mine for some time, and I find great fulfillment in helping clients bring their visions to life through visual storytelling. Additionally, hosting events allows me to tap into my natural flair for communication and organization, making it another avenue where I excel.
While graphic design will remain a core focus, I anticipate reducing my involvement in web design. It’s not as personally fulfilling for me, and I’d rather concentrate my efforts on areas where my passion truly thrives.
Balancing Act
To supplement my income and ensure financial security, I plan to maintain a part-time job on the side. This additional income will provide a safety net while I continue building my freelance business.
Educational Milestone
Education is a crucial part of my journey, and in one year’s time, I hope to celebrate my graduation from the Graphic & Web Design program at John Abbott. This milestone will not only signify my commitment to honing my skills but also open up new possibilities in the competitive world of design.
Adventure Awaits
Finally, one of my most cherished goals for the coming year is to embark on a European adventure with my brother and some close friends. Exploring the rich cultures, histories, and landscapes of Europe has always been a dream, and I hope to make it a reality in the near future.
In summary, my goals for the next year are a blend of personal and professional aspirations. I aim to achieve financial stability, continue pursuing my passion for graphic design and event hosting, graduate from my program, and embark on an exciting European journey. With determination and hard work, I’m confident that these goals are within reach, and I’m excited to see where the next year takes me on this rewarding journey of life and career growth.
