Evaluating career coherence

0

My career path is technical, but I would like to move into a leadership path after mastering my technical skills. I have really enjoyed gaining project experience both at work and in an academic environment. Each project always brings a new learning opportunity for the every member of the project team.
My top career aims would be:
1. Grow your expertise and capabilities, earn respect
2. Quickly assume new responsibilities and earn a high salary
3. Use your creativity and express yourself

I would have applied to a job that dealt with the development of new operating procedures to improve the overall work reliability and company performance. The most important strengths for the job opportunity are dedication, flexibility and creativity. I would like to grow into a position where I would have more responsibilities and would work closely in a team environment. At first, the job would involve a lot of individual work to research and develop new ideas to test. This job would be ideal for allowing me to attain all of most of my career aims.
