In summary, my short-term goal is to get a full-time job in the graphic design field directly after my stage as I will be available to work full-time starting the summer and on. Once I complete my program at John Abbott College, my plan is to relocate either to downtown Montreal or somewhere closer to the city, as I live off-island right now.
Currently, I work part-time at Maxi while attending school, and full-time while I’m off school but I aspire to replace that with a full-time graphic design job upon graduating from the program. My aim is to be fully dedicated to gaining as much experience as possible in the graphic design field, so that’s why I would like to work full-time once I am out of school. I would like as much hands-on experience as possible and I am hoping that my stage can provide me with that experience. The primary goal of my stage is to have a meaningful experience that helps me work with my practical skills and enables me to apply the knowledge acquired during my graphic design coursework to real-world scenarios.
Once I finish my 3 weeks at my stage I’m hoping to either get hired if I’m a good fit for the company or to find a graphic design job that can best suit me and my long-term goals in the graphic design field. To summarize, my short-term goals currently revolve around finding a stage that suits me and that will help me in my search in landing a job to kickstart my career in graphic design. I would hope to find a job that aligns with my aspirations or as this is a blog post about short-term goals I would like to find a job after my stage that can lead to a job that would be able to do that if I don’t find it right away.
