BARRIER IN THE PROCESS OF CAREER MAKING
Introduction
In the process of making a career one faces various personal and professional challenges.
I believe that one of the biggest barriers that can be faced in the process of making my career is
communication skills. An inability to communicate effectively is a significant barrier in career
making. The inability to convey through, desires and feelings in an appropriate manner can affect
the performance and productivity especially in the workplace. Further, as per the US department
of Labor, communication barrier is considered to be the top most skill required in organizations.
This might increase the chance of promotion and retention in the organization. In order to
overcome the communication, I need to work on improving mu perception. I need to seek for
constructive feedback which can increase me awareness. Further, I need to work on my listening
skills and increase empathy.

significant barrier in the process of career development and progression. Moreover, lack of
communication skills can lead to lack of confidence which becomes a personal barrier to the
career progression. Lack of confidence and communication skills can make an individual to miss
out relevant opportunities in the career (Felson, Richard 2013). Communication is considered to
be one of the most crucial skills in the career; a lack of it might hinder the changes of promotion
