Trial Court Officer Academy Personal Statement

First and foremost graduating on February 27th 2015 with Class 002 of The Massachusetts Trial Court Officer Academy has to be my initial goal. Without completing this academy all the additional personal goals I have set for myself will mean nothing. Setting personal goals is my way to achieve the hard to reach accomplishments I strive for. Although there may be one main objective, before I can reach it, I set many “step goals” to focus on along the way. My first set of “step goals” was the application, résumé, and interview process to which I sought out a person I knew whose job was to read résumés and conduct interviews for the company Lockheed Martin. He told me what he looks for in a résumé, what keeps him reading it and what makes

Meeting and passing the physical fitness standard was at the top of my list. Although I technically have accomplished this objective I realize it is not good enough.

I will identify opportunities to extend myself by volunteering for new challenges placed before me. I will try to stand out to my supervisors by always playing to my abilities and strengths, being professional, knowledgeable and looking sharp in uniform. This will help the way I am perceived by my supervisors, the public and all Court house employees. I think it is very important to not just “put in your hours” but, to always work hard, strive to go above your best and do more than most people by working harder and longer. To accomplish this objective I will do all task with a sense of urgency and volunteer for high-visibility positions. A great employee should seek tout opportunities to contribute more, and be known as the go-to person even if it means arriving early and leaving late. If you want to be noticed as the “go to person” there is no substitute for hard
