My
Career Plan for the Next 5 Years
Risa
Nishimura - Japan,
Summer 2000 Presentation
(Ed.
note: This is an example of a career plan where the person doesn't
expect to open a business for some time, so the focus is on
employment. That Risa traveled all the way from Japan is an
immediate credit to her insight; she was immediately drawn to the
Workshop as part of her training beyond the art of grooming. This
simple presentation has some very special qualities.)
"My objective is to find a job
as a full-charge groomer at a
pet grooming salon is
Yokohama, Japan. I will
finish grooming school in 2 weeks. After I graduate I will be
able to groom dogs of all breeds, mixed breeds and cats as well."
"I
believe that "client relations" is the most important
thing in the grooming business as well as grooming services."
"I
am a team-oriented person, and am willing to support my future
employer the best I can. As a bilingual of Japanese and English, I
will provide customer service in both languages and will use it as a
tool to earn more clients and grow my employer's business."
"I
would like to paid on a salary basis. I will work hard to improve
myself and my grooming skill."
Webmaster Commentary: If I was
an employer I would perk up when an applicant delivered such a
simple yet well-organized request for employment. I would know
that Risa desires to groom all sizes, all breeds and cats. Great!
I would be pleased that she would respect my clients without me
having to impress this important factor to a successful grooming
business. That she wants to work as a team member and that she
will do that in part with her strengths other than grooming, like
being bilingual, would really impress. That Risa wants to join in
and support my goals for increasing my client base will get a
quick nod from me. Everything about her presentation shows a great
attitude. Risa would likely adapt to our method of
operation, including artistic styling standards, and completely
follow all of the The Madson Management System Employee Policies
and Procedures in our Employee Handbook (Ed. note: sample employee
handbook is in Appendix C of From Problems
to Profits). As long as we sensed that her presentation is
backed by sincerity and her references check out, Risa would most
likely have been hired. Yes, she would have be hired even if she did want to
eventually go on to open her own business. That wouldn't
matter if we thought she would stay at least 2 years as a
successful employee. Using The Madson Management System and Madson Team Trimming,
our full-charge groomers stayed with us for an average of 9 to 10 years
as productive employees. (Ed. note:
team trimming is discussed in From Problems to Profits, and
Grooming Business in a Box ® . That's
remarkable. Now let's go on to another presentation, and soon you
will be shown a "Perfect 10"
presentation.
