INTRODUCTION
Career development refers to the process that an individual can undergo in order to
develop its occupational status. It can also be defined as the procedure of taking effective
decisions in order to achieve long term goals and objectives by identifying skills and knowledge
and focus towards continuously improving it(Nagy, and et.al., 2019). The report is based on
career action plan and covers the personal analysis by identifying the skills and knowledge that
is highlighted CW1.The study also highlights the career action plan which helps in improving the
skills and knowledge in order to succeed in the career.
MAIN BODY
Personal analysis
From the CW1 analysis I came to understand it in order to achieve to the desires position
it is very necessary for me have required skill and knowledge that will help me achieve my short
as well as long term goals. Career growth is defined as a process of growing in the professional
life that also helps in contributing towards improving skills and knowledge of an individual.
After completing graduation I want to choose the required professional career and in order to
reach on that platform it is necessary for me to have required skills, knowledge and experience
that will make it simpler for me to interact with my co-workers and superiors that will help in
boosting me self-confidence as well(Ohunakin, Adeniji, and Oludayo, 2018). If I want to peruse
my career in accounting and finance it is very necessary for me to have skills and knowledge in
order to give best performance in this field. In order to reach to that position i have to identify
my strengths that my skills(Burt, and et.al., 2018). I observed that I have effective
communication skills as I get connected with other students and this can helps me to achieve the
desired goals in my life.
It can be my strength as I can without hesitation interact with my managers and co-
worker which will not only help me in building my relationship but through interaction will help
in exchange of ideas and knowledge that will help to enhance my knowledge and also helps in
enhancing my active listening skills as well(Sreena, and Ilankumaran, 2018). On the other hand,
it is required to have knowledge of accounting and basic technical skills as it is very necessary
for me to have basic technical knowledge in the era of digitalisation(Nurmawati, and Novita,
2022). Furthermore, I realised through have to make various improvements in data analytical

skills that will help me to understand the financial aspects of the transaction of the company. In
order to peruse my career in finance having data analytical skills is very necessary(Douglas,and
Gammie, 2019). Not only this every task has some time limitation in which it is be completed
and presented before the superiors. So by considering this aspect it is very necessary for me to
effective time management skills which will also help me to realise my efficiency and help in
evaluating my performance and capability to complete the task in the given time limit(Rani, and
Sharma, 2018). On the other hand it is required that task performed should be properly managed
and it is necessary to keep the accounting records systemically as it is published before
stakeholders. Therefore it is required that I should have effective organisational skills in order to
perform the task effectively and organised way. Furthermore, accounting and finance is based on
based on calculations and practical based work which required to have effective reasoning skills
in order to solve the accounting calculations(Easton, and Djumalieva, 2018). I realised that my
numerical skills is weak and have to make efforts in improving my reasoning skills in order to
achieve my career goals. With the help of this I identified my strengths that will help in
successfully achieving the career goals as having effective communication skills and active
listening skills which can be helpful in successfully achieving their objectives that can also lead
to personal and professional development. On the other hand it is required for me to clearly
identify my weaknesses that will help me to understand the skills that is necessary in order to
reach at the desired position. I should analyse the skills that I needed to improve and make action
plan in order to success in my career goals. Not only this it will also help me plan my short- term
as well as long-term goals. With the help of identifying these strengths and weakness it can help
me to effectively interact with my co-workers and also enhance my knowledge(Osiurak, and
et.al., 2021). This has helped to gain confidence and encouraged my achieve higher goals after
my graduation but during this period I have to remain focus on enhancing these skills and plan
accordingly.
