My Plan

As we approach the middle of February, and the middle of Winter Quarter, I think it’s a good time to talk about plans.

I have one more quarter: spring 2022. My goal is to land a new role promptly after that. More specifically, late June/early July. I intend to focus on project manager/coordinator or systems analyst roles. Though I’ve spent the past two years focused on learning web development, I see my greatest value add is in the convergence of that with my project and team coordination history. I know the language of the different project stakeholders, from financial to operational to technical. Being able to keep disparate groups of people engaged, on the proverbial “same page”, is something of a superpower. One that I’m looking forward to using.

Some Goals For 2022

Pooja over at Life’s Fine Whine posted some goals for 2022. Made me think it was a good time to post some of my own.

  1. Finish my ATA Degree. I’m on track to finish after spring quarter.
  2. Land a new job. Ideally, this would be timed to coincide with finishing my degree. We’ll see, as this has significant components outside of my control. I’m focusing on Boeing, Seattleite that I am. I expect I’ll need to expand that out. Let me know if there’s a company I should specifically consider.
  3. Related to #2 above, I need to figure out my career focus. Am I going to focus on “digital communications”, project management, systems analysis…oh, so many choices!
  4. Exercise more often. Ideally, this would be daily. But that’s already been challenging with the snow in Seattle turning my walking routes into a mountain of slush. I intend to bike more, walk close to daily, get into taekwondo >2x/week and continue my weekly strength club workouts at Jekel Strength Club.

I’m not sure what else to add at this point. Do you have any suggestions? What are your goals for 2022?
