🛡️ Target Acquired(ish): Redefining What I’m Aiming For

🧭 Scanning for the Right Coordinates…

I don’t have a precise target just yet — no dream job pinned to a vision board, no map with a glowing “X marks the spot.” But I am adjusting my scanner.

This week, I’m preparing for something important: my first session with a career counsellor. And I’m approaching it the same way a strategist plans a mission — not with all the answers, but with better questions.

🧠 Here’s What I Know So Far

I’ve learned a lot about myself through blogging, studying, and reflecting these past few months. I may not have a specific job title locked in, but I do know this:

🦸‍♀️ I thrive when I can:

• Bring clarity to chaos
• Coordinate people, timelines, and tools
• Solve creative and logistical problems
• Blend art and structure
• Support others while working independently
• Add value through empathy, organization, and thoughtful systems
• Be part of something that builds (not just sells)

🌟 Possible Fields That Might Be the Right Fit

From everything I’ve learned about myself (and through feedback in this blog journey), I’m keeping my radar open for roles that combine project management, creativity, and people-centred work.

Potentially:

• Production Coordination in Animation, Film, or Creative Studios
• Project or Workflow Specialist in Digital Marketing or Publishing
• Operations Coordinator for arts orgs, education, or nonprofits
• Creative Services Manager for studios or agencies
• Internal Communications or People Experience roles
• Process Improvement Roles tied to Lean Six Sigma and systems building

I’m not choosing one yet — but this is where the signal seems strongest.

🗨️ What I Hope to Ask My Career Counsellor

• What job titles actually reflect the skills I love using?
• What industries value creative coordination the way I do?
• How do I best talk about my transferable skills when I’ve done a bit of everything?
• What’s the bridge between what I’ve done and where I want to go?
• And how do I make that bridge visible to the people reading my resume?

🐾 Diana Would Just Sit on the Job Postings

Diana doesn’t worry about targets. She knows her skills — napping, purring, looking majestic — and she simply waits for the right sunbeam to show up.

Honestly? Not a bad model for calm confidence.

💬 Final Thought

I may not have my exact job target locked in yet. But I’ve got focus. I’ve got support. And I’ve got questions that matter.

Sometimes the mission isn’t to strike — it’s to clarify.

Because the clearer I get, the better I’ll know when I’ve found the right mark.
