INTRODUCTION

MAIN BODY
TASK
Personal analysis
By working on the other assessment and analyse own skills and knowledge, I found many
skills which I require in career development. There are many current factors which have much
importance in choosing the career action. During the work experience in the university and at my
current job role, there are many skills which I lack. Apart from this, I also gained knowledge
about the how to make connection with others, improve communication and presentation skills
and many more. The skills which must have in an individual to work in HR profession is
problem solving, decision making, coaching and administrative skills. In my own experience, I
mainly have good administration and decision making skills that will be beneficial for me. But I
lack in communication and coaching skills that could impact on my career growth and
opportunity (RICHARD). Also, important knowledge must be there in conceptual and technical
field to perform role of HR manager. I have gained experience through taking feedback in my
work. I hesitate in talking with group of people, I could not able to make others understand
about the topic and solve problem. By undertaking many projects and learning at my university
level, there is requirement of taking best measures for improvising skills that will require in my
career growth. For that instance, it is necessary to analyse own strength and weak points. A
detailed description about own experience is presented below:

What areas do I lack in?: In an individual life, there are some of the areas which remain
imperfect. A person could not learn everything at a time which require efforts and courage to
work dedicatedly. So in personal experience of learning in university, it has found that by
participating in many projects I did well in my individual assessment. But at the time of group
working, I somehow lack in controlling, guiding the group to work in right direction. Due to
having poor communication skills, I was not able to present my ideas clearly to the other groups
which resulted missing deadlines and not fulfilling the objectives.
Where do you need further examples in own application: In my overall application of
work, there is requirement of key skills and knowledge for my further future life. I need to check
my communication skills in both written and verbal ways, this could be done through preparing
CV for applying in multinational companies (Correia, Marques, and Teixeira, 2022). In the
overall application, I felt under confident due to not having much technical knowledge which
will impact on my career growth.
Where do you feel weak in overall application: in the overall application of my efforts
and work done in the university, I felt weak in some of practices which has provide me insight
about areas for improvement. I got nervous and weak when I have to prepare for interviews. I
was not sure about what knowledge and skills I must have so, I decided to have an experience
about it. but I lack feedback from the interview session, due to which I was not able to analyse
my weak and strength area.
Current strength: by analysing overall work practices and hard work, I learned that I
have good administration skills. These will be my strength and areas of development in my
professional industry. I would be able to manage people, operations and departments by giving
good suggestions and solving complex business problems (Asadpoori, and et.al., 2018). Also, I
have soft skills through which I could easily convenience people and motivate them for hard
work.
Areas to focus: After undertaking all the experience in work activities, there are some of
important area which must be improved. I need to look for developing communication,
interpersonal and coaching skills. These areas are effective for building career in human resource
profession as the industry look for talented personnel who could manage business problems and
satisfy clients.
