Dream Job

My dream job is to become a creative director.

Creative directors dictate the copy and layout directions.

I believe from what I read and from what I heard, the most important attribute of a creative director is persistence, creativity and flexibility.

Creative directors need to understand their audience.

One of my strength is listening.

As a Taiwanese citizen who migrated from Japan to the U.S., I learned to listen to others carefully.

Because I listen to others carefully, I start to hear and see what is common in a group.

Then I start thinking of a tagline that relates to a group that catches attention.

I believe my understanding of psychographics and persistence will guide me to a role of a creative director.

In my copywriting class at San Jose State University, the class average was a B.

Getting a B in the class was not hard but getting an A was.

I was one of the few students in the class who got an A.

In the copywriting class, I learned to be persistent and flexible.

Constantly writing and rewriting.

Finishing a copy and rewriting the copy from scratch again because the professor did not like the final product.

San Jose State University is teaching me beyond the technical aspects of a career I dream of.

San Jose State University is guiding me in the right direction in career and life.

What I am seeking for in my career is a balance between salary and enjoying my work.

I love writing copy.

I love money.

Money is a necessity and copywriting is my passion.

If I can get paid above average in Bay Area as a creative director, I would consider it as my dream achieved.
