EVALUATION OF KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & CREDENTIALS

Key to career success is acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills and credentials to advance in your chosen field or discipline. This exercise guides you through a process of examining your academic experience up to this point in time and forecasting what future academic experiences you will need to consider as you develop professionally. PART ONE: Past/Current Coursework and Academic Experiences All of your courses potentially have provided a solid foundation for your educational development. However, on the table below, list key courses (descriptive names not numerical listings such as MGMT 301) that are relevant to the career position/field/industry you seek. These courses may have provided you with specific knowledge, experiences or skills that would be useful for you as a professional. These courses may come from your majors, minors, concentrations, as well as other courses such as electives or certification programs. Add more rows or subtract rows as needed.

This might include Study Abroad, Volunteerism, Social Clubs, Internships, Part-Time Work, etc. You do not need to re-state your resume but if there is something specific to note, put it in the table below.

PART TWO: Future Coursework, Certifications, Associations, Experiences As you look at your future, consider and respond to the questions below: What other courses will you need to complete in order to earn your degree (if you are not graduating this semester!)? Complete the information below and make sure you follow-up with your Academic Advisor with any questions/concerns/issues that you may have. Remember, courses may not always be offered when you expect them to be (i.e. a course may need to be moved to another semester). This is for PLANNING purposes only to help you be aware of what you need to complete your degree in a timely manner.

Are there certain electives, concentrations, or minors that you should consider taking because they would provide you with additional knowledge, skills and experiences for your field of interest? If so, add them into your above planning. If you cannot fit them into your degree and graduate by your targeted goal date, would you consider staying for an additional semester? Consult with your Academic Advisor to make sure you correctly are interpreting your degree information.
I am currently taking operations concentrated courses to work towards a minor in the field and will need to stay here an additional semester (Fall of 2014) because of opting to do so.

What certification programs and professional association would be important for you to obtain and join to enhance your professionalism?
At this point, I think it is essential for me to obtain some sort of operations, logistics, or manufacturing themed internship for this coming summer to further my knowledge in the field. Also, joining the Operations Management club here at Purdue could help in doing so as well.

To advance in your field, will you need to obtain an advanced degree and when would be the best time to pursue that (directly after earning your undergraduate degree or after you gain professional experience in your field)?
II think it would be best to gain some work experience after graduating, and then go back and further pursue another degree due to the fact that grad schools are now highly competitive in acceptance and like applicants with work experience, so it would help my application to get into a grad school of my choice instead of just settling on one.
