Checkpoint: Setting Goals wk 5 (2006)

Identify one of your long-term educational goals and one of your long-term career goals ("I will become the head of my company's graphics department" is an example of a long-term career goal).

2. Break these two long-term goals into several short-term goals that you hope to accomplish within a relatively short time ("I will learn how to use my company's new graphics software" is one short-term goal that would need to be accomplished before someone could become the head of a graphics department).

3. For each of your short-term goals, list a specific deadline to accomplish the goal (for example, "I will accomplish this goal by the end of next month") and how you will accomplish the goal (for example, "I will enroll in a professional development course").
