Task 1- Values Audit
1. The five personal values that influence my life choices and have assisted me to do well in
both my personal and academic career in my undergraduate degree course are as follows:
1. Truth- “Truth to self”. Truth and honesty has always been the foundation of all that I
did.
2. Determination- “having a positive emotional feeling”. Always determined of what I
have to do and never lose hope.
3. Accountability- “being responsible of the actions of oneself”. Admitted whenever I
made mistake and welcomed and enhanced myself through criticisms.
4. Leadership- “taking charge, leading and guiding individuals while being a role
model”. Took change of my team activities.
5. Integrity- “doing right thing in reliable manner”. Always honoured my words.
Career management is a process of investing all the resources for accomplishing one’s
future goals of career (Noe et al. 2017). It is a life-long process that allows an individual to
adapt to the every changing demands of the dynamic economy. Consideration of values is
crucial to career management as of the fact that it comprise of the social rules. According to
Akkermans and Tims (2017), values are the key elements for assessing the conditions and
environment and they help in regulating the behavior of human beings in their personal and
professional lives. I personally believe that holding my personal values will enable me
identify and work for my future potential employers who share my views. According to
Fouad et al. (2016), personal values are something that are crucial for making career
decisions.

2. In my future career, I would like to pursue the field of Information Technology.
Throughout my undergraduate degree course, I have gained many hard skills that I
believe I can be utilising in my field of work in the future. They include:
1. Financial data management- I would be responsible of maintaining and collecting
financial data. I need to ensure that all the financial records are maintained in
compliance with the accepted and lawful policies and procedures.
2. Financial planning- Being an system analyst and designer, I would be responsible of
recording, summarising, analysing and creating the reports of the financial
transactions.
3. Management of investment portfolio- I will use this knowledge to help my clients to
manage their investment and increase their wealth.
4. Budget forecasts- As an system analyst, I would be required to prepare budget
forecasts
5. Audit process- I have the skill of paying strong attention to detail. This will help me
in ensuring that my company is adhering to all the Information Technology standards.
Task 2- Capability Audit
As claimed by Marcel (2012), the ability of an individual to express himself or herself in
clear and logical manner both orally and in writing is known as communication skills.
Throughout my undergraduate course, I have been working with diverse people as a group at
several groups and projects. I have also made presentation where I got highest grades for my
presentation style. Many of the times, while doing group works, I engaged in meetings and
communication through online medium due to lack of time to meet individually. I have
always ensured that I am engaging my audience and connecting with them in effective
manner.
