Honesty, integrity and ethics play a large role in the work that I do. Ethics mainly being the main focus of my work. While designing, there are numerous factors that play into how to effectively design for a specific mater. Making sure you are following all guidelines and codes of the company and not straying away from the design standards. As a designer, you do not want to be offensive with wording or graphics you put out into the public, and with photography, keeping image to brand and not manipulating them to where false information is being displayed to an audience.
In any position, I value reassurance and praise. At times, work may be tough and a boost of confidence that you are doing well is all it may take to change your mind set for that hour, week, month etc. Belonging to a team that can hold each other accountable is something I also value. Accountability is a great part of my work success to keep me on track and to provide the best version of the work I do possible. Having co-workers who can tell you when you are slacking or when you are going above and beyond.
My work ethic has been seen as being well thought out and on task. I am known to be a hard worker that takes pride in the work that I do.
Personality Type
After completing a Myers Briggs test, my personality came to be ESFP, an entertainer. This personality type matches the industry I am in and the work I will be doing fairly well.
According to GlassDoor, the average salary for a marketing coordinator in Raleigh, NC is $43,554. Within the job posting, no stated benefits were listed, but I assume with full-time employment within the company, some may be offered. Since they are not listed on the posting, it would be something I would ask if given an opportunity to be interviewed.
AreaVibes showed that living situations in Raleigh are moderate compared to the rest of the U.S. In comparison to where I currently live, Streetsboro, OH, the livability score was also moderate. Compared to the rest of the U.S., cost of living in Raleigh is 6% higher and Streetsboro's cost of living is 10% lower. Employment rates are 6% higher in Raleigh and Streetsboro.
Choosing to stay in Streetsboro and make a commute would be an option, but based off my life goals, needs and wants, moving out of the city I currently reside in is something I am willing to do even if it mean an increase in the cost of living.
The average cost of rent for a 2 bedroom apartment in Raleigh is $1,225. In Streetsboro, the average rent is around $998 per month.
In a comparison of food/drink in both areas, it seems that the pricing is not too far off from each other. The pricing in different areas fluctuate, but looking at the comparison overall, the cost of food and drink are fairly similar. Streetsboro did not have it's data input so I chose Akron, OH which was the closest related area for this comparison.

After planning out my personal budget, with the salary I would be given, I would be able to live a normal comfortable lifestyle. Granted, certain budgeting would need to be done ahead of time to compensate for fun trips or shopping, two things I enjoy doing quite often.
My short term spending habits are not ideal for my long term financial goals. I often find myself buy little items here and there which eventually add up and deplete my account. Ways that I have tried to fix this spending habit issue is to have budget trackers linked to my personal back accounts to set spending budgets and alerts for when I make a purchase. This allows me to visually see how much I'm spending and if I am going over the allotted amount I gave myself for that month.
Since cost of living in Raleigh is higher than what I am used to, the areas that I will need to budget for most are for rent and food. To me, these area necessity to living and need to be top priority when dealing with how to spend my money. I will most likely give myself an allowance of a certain amount. possibly $100 a month to do whatever I chose with. My budget will not fluctuate too much, but more of my money will be going towards living expense rather than leisurely activities.
Long term, it would be in my best interest to put a good portion of my salary towards a 401K retirement plan. I would like to do this sooner than later to not work until I'm old. I would also like to retire early so I can travel and live a balanced leisurely lifestyle.
For the time being, I put half of m paychecks into my savings to save for future needs such as vacations, shopping and school. I will continue to do this method of saving to ensure there is money in an account in case of emergency.
I would like to save up to move into a home one day, with a large patio and a pool. I have also dreamed of traveling to spai, so saving for a trip there would also be in my plans to save for the future.
The average salary for a marketing manager in Raleigh is between $54,00 and $110,000.
Post graduation, I am already looking into going to graduate school to further my degree. I would like to continue my degree in educational design or in marketing. I do not plan to jump into grad school right away, rather secure a job with a company and see if they will send me back to school or wait until I have saved up enough to put myself through school again.
Current trends in marketing is Social Media Marketing. Social Media Marketing is projected to account for approximately 20% of marketing budgets within the next 5 year according to the Data & Marketing Association.
It would be in best interest to further study more in social media marketing and digital marketing. More of a focus is leaning towards this area of the industry as it rapidly increases.
Characteristics that come with this personality type are bold, observant, practical and excellent people skills. I feel having these traits, especially people skills is critical in industry because you deal with interactions all day. Learing how to get to the point and show off your abilities is key too which is covered by the practical and bold personality characteristics.
