    Career Goals Essays

    Crafting an essay on the subject of "Career Goals" can be both challenging and introspective. The
    difficulty lies not only in the articulation of your aspirations but also in presenting them in a coherent
    and compelling manner. You find yourself navigating through the delicate balance of ambition and
    realism, trying to convey your passion while remaining grounded in the practicality of your goals.

    Expressing your career objectives requires a deep self-reflection, forcing you to confront questions
    like where you see yourself in the future, what milestones you hope to achieve, and how you plan to
    make a meaningful impact. It demands a thoughtful exploration of your skills, values, and
    experiences that have shaped your professional aspirations.

    Moreover, the challenge extends to the need for precision in language and organization. You must
    carefully choose your words to convey sincerity and determination without sounding clichéd or
    overly grandiose. The structure of the essay becomes crucial, as you strive to create a logical flow
    that guides the reader through your past, present, and future, illuminating the path you wish to
    traverse in your career.

    Additionally, there's the pressure to differentiate yourself from others who may share similar
    ambitions. The essay becomes a unique canvas where you paint a vivid picture of your individuality
    and the distinctive journey that has led you to formulate these specific career goals.

    However, despite the challenges, this essay is an opportunity for self-discovery and growth. It
    compels you to refine your vision, setting the stage for actionable steps toward your professional
    objectives. While it may be a daunting task, the process itself is invaluable in clarifying your
    ambitions and fostering a deeper understanding of your own aspirations.

    In conclusion, navigating the intricacies of a "Career Goals" essay is no small feat. It requires a
    delicate balance of self-reflection, articulate expression, and strategic presentation. Yet, it's in
    overcoming these challenges that you not only produce a compelling essay but also gain a clearer

    Risk Allocation Essay
    RISK ALLOCATION IMPORTANCE IN PROJECT STRUCTURING AND CURRENT
    PRACTICES

    I.Introduction
    Project finance is best understood in terms of a risk allocation which reconciles the
    potentially conflicting objectives of borrowers and lenders by utilizing the long term
    economic and commercial linkages between the sponsors, lenders and third party
    participants involved with a project. (Howcroft Fadhley, 1998).
    In theory, the basic principle of risk allocation for the project finance is Allocating project
    risks to the most suitable participant whose risk preference is higher (Xiao, 2003).
    Severe consequences follow from the failure to accurately identify and allocate risks.
    These consequences often extend beyond the immediate parties to the ... Show more

    In this paper, an extensive literature review is undertaken to evaluate the importance of
    risk allocation to project stakeholders and discuss current practices. However, the
    complexity of this topic is beyond the scope of this paper. Hence, the attention is
    towards the direct participants, even though other stakeholders will also be tangentially
    mentioned. Also, as PPP is developing fast in the area of project finance and its
    importance is increasing, I have used it to illustrate some of the points made in the
    current risk allocation practices.

    II.Importance of risk allocation in structuring from the angle of stakeholders


    The structure of a project s financing depends on the industry the transaction is taking
    place, the underlying business model and in particular the allocation of risks and
    responsibilities between the individual partners (Weber Alfen, 2010).
    Risk allocation is performed as part of the development of the project structure, which
    takes into account the distribution of responsibilities and risks during the planning,
    construction, financing and operating phases (Corner, 2006). The aim is to identify an
    efficient and effective structure that optimises the costs of the project and ensures that
    the risk occurrences do not damage the project (Delmon, 2009). According to Grimsey
    and Lewis (2007) risk allocation has two elements: optimal risk management and value
    for money. The first implies that the
    Raytheon Missile System
    1. What is the primary reason you are seeking a new opportunity?

    The primary reason I am seeking a new opportunity is that the Raytheon Missile
    Systems (RMS) Procurement Office in Louisville, KY is either going to close and
    transfer responsibilities to the HQ in Tucson, AZ. Or, the Louisville Office will become
    a cell for low value quick turn purchase orders. Louisville Raytheon primarily serves as
    an overhaul, repair center and parts warehouse for the Phalanx weapon. The Procurement/
    Subcontracts office is relatively small consisting of 13 personnel. The high level
    Corporate discussion is occurring for a variety of reasons. There is no stated timeline
    for a decision, however, it is prudent to seriously assess options sooner rather ... Show

    The ability to collaborate with program management and other multi functional teams is

    manner, display strong interpersonal skills, have a general knowledge of FAR/DFARS
    and associated Federal Contracting regulations and be capable of working in a fast paced
    environment.

    3. What is your most recent salary and salary expectation (please provide a specific
    amount or range)?

    My pay for 2016, as per W 2 is $80,964.67. With regard to salary expectation, there are
    other factors to consider such as challenge, growth potential, company product/service
    capabilities, and location. Northrop Grumman is a great company and Tampa is ideal
    for my family and accounts for a lot being long term. Thus, salary is not primary and is
    flexible/negotiable. I am a believer the money will come with my performance/metrics.
    Though, as requested per the question, it is my preference to be in the mid $90K range.

    Romantic Comedy Analysis
    Romantic Comedies. We all know of at least one. Chances are we all have one that we
    could watch over and over again. But, why? What makes romantic comedies so
    appealing? Why do so many people like them? The Incredible Jessica James is a
    romantic comedy, that is also an adult s coming of age movie, but not your typical
    one. A typical romcom plays love as an almost insignificantly light hearted joke. While
    love is still joked about, it isn t quite as light hearted in The Incredible Jessica James.
    When people think of a rom com we typically think of one like: Sleepless in Seattle, You
    ve Got Mail, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, 10 Things I Hate About You, or Pretty in
    Pink. The Incredible Jessica James doesn t match up to those movies in a couple of
    ways. The Incredible Jessica James doesn t completely shy around the politics of today
    s society, it starts off light but gradually becomes a little more serious, shows the
    struggles of dating when two people start out not completely over their exes, and is
    even relatable to some people whose parents have had a rough divorced. Jessica Jones
    was made to be relatable more than the idealistic romantic comedywhere they always end
    up together. Politics; it is everywhere so why shouldn t we expect it in our movies?
    Jessica James is passionate about three things in this movie: her opinions (politics),
    theater, and honesty. Her political views are showcased in one particular scene: her sister
    s baby shower. Her gift while thoughtful is
    My Brother Sam Is Dead
    Many people think war is fun, defending your country, or having all the glory. Other
    people think that war is not fun. For example, killing people and losing friends, family
    and community members. In the sad, but exciting, book My Brother Sam Is Dead by the
    Collier brothers, Tim and his family struggle through many obstacles in the American
    Revolutionary War. As we read this story the authors show that war can divide and
    destroy individuals, families and communities. War can destroy and divide individuals.
    For instance, when Tim is asked by Mr. Heron to deliver a secret message, but his
    father doesn t want him to. The reason Tim was doing this is because he wanted to
    impress Sam, but father wouldn t let him because he could get lost or hurt. When Tim
    said, ... I didn t mean I have any opinion. This shows that he doesn t know if he should go

    For example, when the Continental soldiers came into the tavern looking for the
    Brown Bess father told them that Sam had it. The soldier said, watch your tongue or i
    ll slice it out. This is an example of communities being torn apart because the Patriots
    are trying to take father s gun for their own side of the war. This shows that war has
    caused people to only care about themselves and what side their on, not their own
    community members. Also, people are being threatened, forced to pick a side and forced
    to turn against people who live in the community that they are in.
    People only caring about themselves is not the only way communities are being torn
    apart by war. For instance, losing people in the war (Sam, father and other community
    members). People are stealing from each other because they only care about their own
    needs. Finally, people are lying to each other. For example, when Tim tried to lie to
    Betsey about the secret message he was sending for Mr. Heron. This shows that
    communities are being torn apart by death, stealing and lying to each
    Honor And Glory In The Iliad, By Homer
    The Iliad, by Homer, is an epic poem that portrays a 9 year war between the Trojans
    and the Greeks. The objective of the war was to retrieve Helen, the wife of Menelaus,
    from Paris, a Trojan prince, but it resulted in a brutal, prolonged battle. The Iliad begins
    with the ire of Achilles who decides to sit out of the 9 year war because he is unwilling
    to fight for the Agamemnon any further, as Agamemnon is, in the eyes of Achilles, a
    coward who is unwilling to fight his own war. In the Greek world Honor and Glory
    were essential elements in defining the worthiness of a man. Honor took form in taking
    the reputation of another, and Glory took form in recognition of an accolade. Hence, In
    The Iliad, Homer degrades the ideology of Honor and Glory through Achilles rejection to
    participate in the war.
    In The Iliad, the tenet of Honor, by the recognition of accomplishments, in the Greek
    world is shown through the conversations between Glaucus and Sarpedon about the 9
    year war. In book 12, Sarpedon attempts to convince Glaucus to fighting the Greeks by
    saying, But as it is, death is everywhere, in more shapes than we can count, and since
    no mortal is immune or can escape, Let us go forward either to give to another man or
    to get glory from him (12.338 342). Here Sarpedon speaks with conviction about the
    common war beliefs ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
    In The Iliad Achilles was the only man who defied this convention in the Trojan war,
    where he chose to sit out of the war, rather than to fight and slaughter as he always has
    in wars. Homer, the author of the Iliad, chose to make Achilles a symbol of an
    alternative exception towards the conventions of Honor and Glory, where Andromache,
    Hector s wife, also serves as a reminder
