Career Planning

My top three career objectives for the next five years are…

·      To obtain knowledge and skills which help me to be a professional

·      To complete my education in Master of Science in Business administration

·      To seek an entry-revel position with a opportunities for career growth

I identify myself as a challenging person. My personal goal makes me achieve to study and work hard. I had some work experiences back in my country, but I never thought these jobs would be my permanent occupation. So finding an interest in studying business has changed my mind. Having a future dream achieves me a lot. Also I am good at time management. It is very important since I have a busy schedule every day. I assume having an ability of time management would be very important for professionals. However there are some negative aspects of myself. Even though I understand that several skills are needed to reach my goal, I have difficulties to accomplish them sometimes. For example, I am not good at speak up in front of people, or I always take more time to come up with ideas than others when the professor asks questions in class. When the things do not go through as I hope to be, I easily feel disappointed in myself. Another my negative aspect is that I am not hundred percent sure what I want to be after graduating the collage. My plan is still dim, so  I need to find out what company I want to work for.

In regard to lack of oral communication skill, the first thing I must do is to visit ESL lab and a tutor to practice. This would help me to be more confident and relaxed when I have to give presentations or debates. Another thing I have to continue is to keep my GPA higher than 3.2. I believe it can be an advantage when I look for a job. I should started thinking about the internship soon, but I have not researched about it at all yet and have no idea where I should start from. So I also need to find out what steps I have to take. I also think making a connection with people who work at a field where I would like to get in would bring me opportunities to find a position at their company. Fortunately I have many opportunities to meet people work in finance, accounting, or other business field. Even though it is not directly related to getting a job, I till can have good opportunity to talk with them and sell myself.

Crisis Management

The tsunami that occurred in Japan on March 11, 2011 destroyed nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which provide 30% of the country’s electricity. Since Japan has to rely on 85% of importation of energy requirements, the accident caused the huge problem of Japan’s economy because importation of natural fuel causes of the high cost. However, rebuilding of nuclear plants would cost Japan 100 million dollars a day, so now Japan has to depend on new energy sources for the future.

In order to manage the crisis, Japan’s energy companies and utilities have taken several steps.

·      After the accident of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the government announced, “Japan’s dependency on nuclear energy will be reduced as much as possible in the medium-range and long-range future.” Also it declared weaknesses of the energy system and suggested a development of new energy policy.

·      The Energy & Environment Council was established to recommend on Japan’s energy future to 2050. It focuses on future dependence on nuclear power.

·      In September 2012, the Energy & Environment Council released “Innovative Energy and Environment Strategy”. It recommends a reducing of nuclear power by 2030.

·      In order to provide the electricity needed, Japanese companies started buying rights for natural gas for selling to utilities.

·      Nation is forced to cut their consumption of electricity, especially during the summer. Utilities have made new plan of electricity charges for peak times.

·      The government is ready to announce the plan of discontinuation of nuclear power generation in 2030s under a new national energy policy.

After the accident occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, people have been scared of radiation affects for their health. The government should have figured out what was happening, and had to respond to the problems quickly. (not meeting Gather information), However the government kept saying anything happened at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was out of imagination. They shifted off their responsibility. They were not very efficient. It seems that the government did not collect enough information. Japan is well known as a country that has many earthquakes; the government could have estimated that the nuclear plant might have been destroyed if a tsunami happened since the plants are built near the ocean. If the government were well aware of it, Japan now does not have to worry about the dependency of new energy sources and suffer from huge deficit. ( not be ready to fight fire with fire)

Since Japan does not want to rely on a fossil fuel, such as coal, government’s plan of new energy policy that concerns Japan’s energy dependence for the future seems good. It is expensive to import natural gas now, but if the efficient way to cool natural gas to liquid for transport with lower cost is found, Japan can import more natural gas, and stay away from use of fossil fuel and nuclear energy.

(meeting Waiting can be a strategy, respect the danger of the unfamiliar)

Disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant told the world that having the nuclear energy plants does not have many advantages. It has so many known and unknown risks. In fact, people live in Japan do not feel safe. They are afraid of having health problems for themselves and future generations. Thus, the accident has let the world to consider about shifting the use of safe and clean energy resources. I thing this meets to Value the skeptic.
