I decided to take a major in communication studies because communication plays an extremely important role in the job position I work. I started off working as an Administrative Assistant and now I am working as a Communications Associate for the Booz Allen Hamilton Company. Therefore, I will always have to be extremely good and effective in the aspect of communications for my company and also for enhancing the chances of growth in my present career as a Communications Associate. I would like to be in a managerial or a supervisory position in my present company or in any future company I join. However, I would like to remain in the same department as long as possible. I would love to always be in the department of communications always.
