Springboard Consulting Inc. is an educational consulting business that advises students and professionals on how to reach academic and career goals. In addition, the business rents apartments to a variety of professionals who use their services. My responsibilities include negotiating both service and personnel contracts as well as personnel contracts along with their periodic evaluation and review. Included in my duties in this area is conducting research into our competition in the market place. Using the market research, I developed and implemented a strategic business plan to increase our overall financial success.

In creating a strategic plan, I also designed the appropriate implementation strategies for these programs. These projects also require the design of a budget. My responsibilities here include the allocation of funds for each project. I also am required to access and provide all resources needed to generate the greatest return on investment. Project management is one of my greatest skills. The ability to research, strategize, and monitor a project has lead to my advancement within the organization.

Included in the challenges of being a manager is the responsibility of hiring and firing employees. To reduce the tension created through firings, I have devised quarterly evaluations of the employees performance that help correct mistakes before these impact the organization. Therefore, in thorough hiring evaluations as well as continuous performance evaluations, employees are more likely to be successful and firings significantly reduced.

My duties at Springboard Consulting Inc. also entail the creation of marketing material for promotion use, including the design of a marketing strategy focusing on our target market. I have also provided personal coaching services to help upper management understand and achieve organizational goals. Working for a small company has provided me with the opportunity to have a wide variety of responsibilities and to be continually educated about new and innovative strategies meant to increase the companies overall profits.
