Career Objectives

December 6, 2014

Career objective:

I seek to secure a challenging and motivating opportunity as a software engineer with a reputable company to utilize my expertise, skills, creativity and leadership in the invention of cutting edge technology and contribute to its daily operations, vision and consistent growth.

My main field of interest is software engineering with skills in project management, and programming in Java language.

Due to the requirements in the field, I would like to enter as a programmer, to increase in expertise and increase my abilities.

Ranking the mentioned factors, the major factor of consideration to me is growth potential. To grow increases my personal skills and value. With better skills, the place with the best working conditions would not be a limit and so is the pay. For commuting, a better environment would require shifting to reduce stress and tiredness due to constant travelling. The insurance depends on the value of a person, hence it is not much of a priority in my career path if the working conditions are better. Training is the least, considering the field am entering is one which I have worked on through and would prefer to learn from my peers in the company.

My desirable company is Google, due to its involvement in cutting edge technology and revolutionizing most of the technology. My other priority would be Microsoft due to its role in software and the role it has played in offering packaged software for its users.

I prefer working in Silicon Valley, considering it is the place where most technological firms reside and majority of the people there are involved in developing new technology which is an everyday inspiration.
