Résumé du document

I already have an idea of the "perfect job" for me. In fact I have two options: In one hand I can create my own company. So I will be in charge of taking decisions and give the main orientation that I want at work. It is also a way to develop my own ideas, being creative and so activate all my themes as values for my company. In the other hand I can join an already existing company, but they need to have same values and ethic as mine. It will be also effective to meet quickly new people and maybe develop my networking and perspective.

If I choose the second option, it will be ideally a medium company in order to really feel the spirit of the company (value and culture). I don't like when there is too much hierarchy (if it is top/down management). I rather prefer know all my colleagues, work in small group as a "family". I know that you can also create this environment in a big company but it takes and costs you more (time and efforts). Knowing each other and share more than just work is important for me.

ISM - ISEG - 2012 Career Management Theme I need the feeling to be different from others. My moto is to see and do thing differently. Think and analyze everything is my way to be different of the mass, build his own opinion. I always try to find an other way that most of the people choose. If someone say "right", I go left.

[...] I am aware that in such a society you can not move forward as easily if you are alone than if you are in group. ISM - ISEG - 2012 Career Management Theme I like to organize my work because other way I can feel lost. I need to progress step by step: one objective after an other, to find coherence.
