As long as I can remember, I’ve always dreamed to work in the health field. At seventeen years old, I thought that I would either be a physician or a pharmacist. Little did I know that this dream would change after life experiences. When I started college, I was a chemistry major. I really enjoyed the first two years, however I slowly realized that maybe this major wasn’t it. I then switch to biology. The first semester was great then suddenly life started giving me lemons. With financial, family and other personal issues, I started having very poor grades. On my senior year, I decided to take a break from school and move back to Haiti to recalibrate myself. Meanwhile, with all my credits from school, I was able to find a position as a Sensory Coordinator in the Coca-Cola bottling plant located in Haiti. In this position I had to manage the microbiology and sensory lab. I enjoyed what I was doing but I was still determined to work in the health field. I decided that I would go back to school. I started taking classes at SNHU to have a degree in Health Information. I wasn’t satisfied with my choice and felt something was missing. As I was taking classes at SNHU, I was taking other courses for my job to obtain certificates. I was striving in those courses but not the ones from SNHU. I slowly realized that my love for health have changed to manufacturing.
Although for the last six years working in the manufacturing field, I’ve gained my way up from being a sensory coordinator to a management system manager then now to a production manager, I find it important to obtain my bachelor’s. First reason is for me; I will feel accomplished. Second reason is for my husband and my almost six-month-old baby boy. Finally, the third reason is because I am moving back in the United Stated. I would like to improve my skills and be able to find a good position at a company. Obtaining a BA.GS with a concentration in International Business will help me attain my goal quicker. With a concentration in international business I will have a basic knowledge in business which will help me earn my certificate in Operations and Supply Chain management with ease.
At thirty-two years old, I never imagined that I would still not have a bachelor’s degree. In order to reach to my goal, there are strengths and weakness that I will leverage. One strength that I will leverage is passion and determination. I am very close to the finish line now that I have two classes left to obtain my BA.GS. I will use all the necessary resources either inside or outside of SNHU to help me succeed. My sensitivity has caused many negatives impact into my life. It affected my ability to take the right decisions for me. I tend to question my motives and don’t like criticism. I will learn to take criticism positively. This will be me grow and see things in another perspective I will also work on believing in myself and following in instincts.
With two classes left I will be completing my BA.GS degree after term 5 which will end in June. I will start right away with the courses for the operations and supply chain management certificate which I will complete in June 2021.After completing this program, I will, right away, start looking for a position in the US.
With the completion of the operations and supply chain management certificate, I will have more opportunities to obtain management positions like Supply chain analyst, Logistics manager, consultant, and more. In order to organize my amenities into specialized skills, there are three domains that will help me.
With the completion of the operations and supply chain management certificate, I will have more opportunities to obtain management positions like Supply chain analyst, Logistics manager, consultant, and more. In order to organize my amenities into specialized skills, there are three domains that will help me.
The first domain is business. With many countries in competition with each other, it is important to have a basic knowledge in internationally business, which is my choice of concentration. Everything is globally evolving. The International Business concentration is divided in two parts. There are two business and two management courses. I have previously taken the Introduction to International Business, International Management and Principles of Management. This classes have helped me gained more understanding in the international financial environment.
The second domain is communication. In all the roles mentioned before, communication is one of the most important domains. For example, a Purchasing Manager needs to have very good communication skill. The role of the Purchasing manager is to buy products for a company to use or resell. The Purchasing Manager as direct contact with the suppliers. Negotiate contracts, evaluate suppliers and review product quality. In order to better my communication skill, I have taken Communication elective and college English composition classes.
Given that I majored in Biology from another instruction, all my credits were transferred to SNHU. When I started SNHU, I majored in Health Information BA.GS. After changing to the BA.GS, I had 18 credits left to obtain my degree. Twelve of those credits are 4 courses from my chosen concentration which is International Business. The remaining 6 credits are the Strategies for Spec Planning course, and one integration cluster course to be chosen from IDS-400 (401,402, 403, and 404). I have decided to choose IDS-401 Global society. I have always been interested in gaining more knowledge in facts and issues that are going globally, I feel like this course will help me gain that knowledge and also strengthen my critical thinking skills which is needed for long term goal. This course will count toward the four courses at the 300 or 400 level. The other 3 courses will be chosen from the courses that are at level 300 and up listed in the International Business concentration. So far, I have already taken 3 out 4 courses from my concentration which are: INT-113 Intro to Int’l Business, INT-309 Legal Environment of int’l Bus, and OL-215 Principles of Management.
As I mentioned early, I majored in Biology and Health Information Management before deciding to change to BA.GS which resulted to me never taking any business classes. When I started with the Health Information Management degree, I felt like something was missing. I needed to go back to the basic for a refreshing training. Most of the skills that I gained in management were throughout my path and experience in the manufacturing industry. Wanting to gain knowledge in what is going globally, it was not hard for me the choose International Business as a concentration. The 3 courses that I have taken so far, my abilities to plan, organize and prioritize have much improved. Those skills are crucial to achieving of my long-term goal to obtain a certificate in Supply Chain and Operations management. I have outlined a list of my degree requirements. In this table, you will see all the courses that I have completed and that I planned on taking.

2/28/2020 Career Paths | Advocate (INFJ) Personality | 16Personalities

Advocates are likely to �nd that most corporate career paths are not
designed for them, but for those focused on their status and material
gain. However, people with this personality are able to �nd work that
suits them in just about any �eld.
In fact, Advocates are likely to face the opposite problem. Many struggle
to begin a career early on because they see ten wildly di�erent paths
forward, each with its own set of rewards. This can be appealing but also
heartbreaking, because picking just one means letting go of so much else.
Truth, Beauty, Purpose
Advocate personalities need to �nd meaning in their work and to know
that they are helping and connecting with people. An Advocate working
as a Ferrari salesperson, for example, is highly unlikely.
Their desire to help and connect makes careers in healthcare – especially
the more holistic varieties – very rewarding for Advocates. Roles as
counselors, psychologists, doctors, life coaches, and spiritual guides are
all attractive options.

2/28/2020 Career Paths | Advocate (INFJ) Personality | 16Personalities
https://www.16personalities.com/infj-careers 3/6
Advocates’ needs don’t end at meaning, though – any productive work
can be meaningful, as any productive work helps someone, somewhere.
Advocate personalities crave creativity, too. They strive to use their
insight to connect events and situations, creating real change in others’
lives.
Two Roads Diverged In a Yellow Wood
These needs are hard to meet in a corporate environment, where
Advocates will be forced to manage someone else’s policies alongside
their own. For this reason, people with the Advocate personality type are
more likely to �nd independence in a leadership position, or by simply
creating their own business.
If they choose to go the independent route, they will focus on applying
their personal touch, creativity, and altruism to everything they do. This
can be the most rewarding option for Advocate personalities. When they
step out of the overly humble supporting and noncompetitive roles they
are often drawn to, they can move into positions where they can grow
and make a di�erence.
Advocates often pursue expressive careers such as writing, e�ective
communicators that they are, and author many popular blogs, stories,
For Advocates, money and Employee of the Month simply won’t cut
it compared to living their values and principles.

and screenplays. Music, photography, design, and art are viable options
too, and they all can focus on deeper themes of personal growth,
morality, and spirituality.
Where Advocates struggle is in work that doesn’t take personal needs
into consideration, is overly repetitious, or promotes con�ict. Jobs with
these traits will leave Advocate personality types frustrated and
unful�lled. They can also struggle under the criticism and pressure that
comes with jobs in corporate politics or sales.
Advocate personalities are clever and can do well in any of these �elds.
To be truly happy, however, they need to be able to work in a way that
aligns with their values and allows them some independence. They need
opportunities to learn and grow alongside the people they are helping
and contribute to the well-being of humanity on a personal level.

Creative – Combining a vivid imagination with a strong sense of
compassion, Advocates use their creativity to resolve not technical
challenges, but human ones. People with the Advocate personality
type enjoy �nding the perfect solution for someone they care
about. This strength makes them excellent counselors and
advisors.
Insightful – Seeing through dishonesty and disingenuous motives,
Advocates step past manipulation and sales tactics and into a more
honest discussion. Advocate personalities see how people and
events are connected. They are then able to use that insight to get
to the heart of the matter.
Inspiring and Convincing – Speaking in human terms, not
technical, Advocates have a �uid, inspirational writing style that
appeals to the inner idealist in their audience. Advocates can even
be astonishingly good orators, speaking with warmth and passion.
This is especially true if they are proud of what they are speaking
for.
