My Mission Statement – Magdalena Rudnicka

Throughout my six month work placement here at Spark, I want to achieve many things that are on a professional and academic level but also on a personal level. Some of the things that I will work to accomplish are as follows –

I will become confident with using the Spanish language. I will accomplish this by integrating myself into the Spanish culture and communicating with the Spark team, as well as with others that I may encounter even if at the time I may still not be comfortable with using the Spanish language.

I will develop good work ethics and skills that will help me reach my full potential and ones that will reflect in any of my future employment. I will accomplish this by engaging in every task that I’m given and completing it to the best of my ability.

I will break bad habits of leaving things to the last minute and create ones that help me stay motivated and pro-active. I will do this by creating a daily habit of staying on top of my tasks and responsibilities and planning ahead to avoid unnecessary issues.

I will develop independent thinking and be my own solution to problems and seek help only if unavoidable.

By the end of my placement, I will feel fulfilled with the work that I carried out. I will have contributed my best effort in helping the team run the company as efficiently as possible. I want to be seen as a supportive, professional and inspiring team member. Additionally, I wish to be seen as approachable to anybody with queries and I will accomplish that by having a positive attitude to everyone I meet.

I will support the values that Spark holds and commit to them myself by being a hard-working and caring individual who is always open to helping people and isn’t afraid to put in the extra bit of effort when things become challenging.

When I encounter a difficult task I will not turn away from it but instead say ‘I can do it’ and give it my best shot because that is the way to learn and develop.

When I complete my placement, I don’t just want my placement to be seen as part of my college degree but rather, I will look at this six month period as a time of growth, both professionally and personally, as a place where I understood what it means to be a true team player.

Most importantly, I want to feel proud of myself that I was able to successfully complete a placement that was challenging at times but proved to be one where I became confident with facing challenges and overcoming them with a positive attitude.
