INTRODUCTION
Personal and professional development can be defined as the collective or overall
development plan of a person who is willing to improve the quality and standard of life either
personally or professionally in terms of career development and area of interest. Knowing
oneself helps the person in making it's way for betterment in it's life so that enhancement could
be developed in life. Growth in skills and abilities are equally essential because until and unless,
growth structure is not framed in a person's action plan than it can be very difficult to implement
such career and personal plans (Gould, 2017). Therefore, the following discussions are made on
the destination of the person's graduation that what and why this degree has been pursues by the
person, analysis of roles which includes the associated history and trends, what is the current job
description of a person and what is the job specification of a person for an ideal job, reflection
which involves skills and experiences of a person related to it's past and present as well, personal
development plan, curriculum vitae and cover letter with a proper findings and conclusion.
MAIN BODY
Graduate destination
I have completed my initial level of study from History and Geography Tourism
University of Stefan (Tsai, Vanderford and Muindi, 2018) Mare for the period of time of
approximately four years from month and year September, 2000 to August, 2004. Next level
studies are completed by me in Health and social care NVQ level 3 for the period of time of
approximately six months from month and year June, 2017 to December, 2017. Final level
studies are completed by me in Bedfordshire University / Health and social care from month and
year February, 2018 to present.
Reason behind pursuing the studies of health and social care are that I want to start up my
own business in the same sector that is care. I have chosen such profession in my life because it
gives me self satisfaction after doing such jobs and I like caring for the people who are in really
of need and must be taken care of. This is the reason why I want self owned business in this
particular field for better and self contentment in my life.
There are many roles available for people who work within the care sector. At present, I
am working at as a care assistant for Ren Caring (Barnay and Juin, 2016). I also work with
private clients as well as the Bedfordshire University. I have been working like this since the

year 2014, prior to which I used to work for Fit Shirt in Woolwich. I used to work as a
printing/packing operator. Along with that, I was doing my NVQ level 3 in Health and Social
Care. I have been working since 2010 and I started off my career as a babysitter in Italy wherein
my daily responsibilities were to take the child to her kindergarten school, feed her, play with her
and take care of her daily activities such as play with her and put her to sleep. I have also worked
as a carer for an elderly lady, who was 88 years old and was dealing with Alzheimer's disease. I
used to look after her daily needs like cooking, cleaning around the house etc. There are different
trends within the care sector for the elderly, but they require the most assistance with their day to
day chores. The market trends in providing care for the elderly people include technology
focused services that are provided in order to make it easier for them to receive quality services. I
believe that I can play a significant role in providing care to the elderly people because I have
experience in the same sector.
Reflection
Skills and experiences are defined as the abilities and qualities of a person who is expert in a
particular field and wants to pursue their future plan either personal or professional according to
the skills and experiences they are having. Skills are either in built in a person or gained by
practising or rehearsing for that. Experience is the practical implementation of that particular
skill in an organization and achieve the certificate of job experience in that particular field of
interest. Combination of both skills and experiences makes some aspirations in a person which a
person try to accomplish their desires by working for it through the enhancement of skills and
gaining more and more experiences (Tattum and Tattum, 2017).
Starting from the year 2010 to 2012, I was a babysitter little girl named Issabella in Italy,
she was about three to five year old at time. My daily duties with her were tacking her to kinder
garden school, feeding her, playing with her, putting her to sleep and keeping her company while
her parents were at work. I have good interpersonal skills and due to which I will be able to run
the business in an effective manner. I believe that all of the experience that I have, I will be able
to execute my learnings while conducting my business operations. I have good leadership skills
which means that I can lead a team of people in the work. But I will need to develop organization
skills so that I can organize the tasks in the business in an effective manner. This will provide me
with the relevant experience so that I can conduct the business operations in an effective manner.
Therefore, these are some of the skills that I currently have and need to develop or improve.
