Reflection of a Job Entry Plan

As I have completed a draft job entry plan for a central administration job I see the value in developing such a plan to have a direction mapped out to make sure all goals, objectives, activities and resources are in place to focus your time to promote the success of all students and staff placed under you. As I have watched four coordinators in five years take the reins over my program and others, two of the four have floundered and I believe it is because they did not have a plan and weren't prepared for the task at hand. In the planning for moving into a new job I believe you must learn all you can about the job itself, the programs involved and find a mentor that can give you insight and pointers for the position.
