objectives that helps them to achieve the success in the near future. I have some short and long
terms career objectives include, one of the short-term objective of working with a multinational
company at the manger designation. Another short-term objective is to gain the leadership skills
that are somewhere missing when it comes to the career growth and development. My long-term
objective is to open the new start-up in the competitive market with the innovative idea. The
skills and characteristics that I already have include the interpersonal communication skills,
problem skills, decision-making skills, and many others. These skills effectively contribute in
improving the achieving the further career objectives (Aithal, 2015).
According to the objectives, I will take the actions before the course of MBA that can
contribute effectively related to the career outcomes. Firstly, I will decide the course that helps in
achieving the success in my career path. For example; my own business and for this career my
preference will be course of entrepreneurship that helps me to gain the knowledge for the
improved career outcomes. Further, I will also take the steps in searching for the institute from to
avail the degrees, as this will help me in getting the good placement opportunities in the market.

entrepreneur. I am very unsure that how I will follow my career path after my MBA. It is sure
that I want to meet my objectives but unsure that how to proceed for such objectives. For
example, the course of MBA will equip me with for the future path by improving my knowledge

meeting with the entrepreneurs and the path way helps me in following a set pathway towards
my career. Further, the will develop the skills of leadership which helps me to achieve the
