Creativity is not a major component of transportation industry. But leadership is
considered to be a very important determinant of the same. Transportation industry requires good

standardization of leadership within itself so as to track the operations of the employees in a
better manner and to facilitate the further enrichment of the same in their respective

directions that were formed in 19th century. There are different components include in the
direction procedure that will support in increasing the development (Rimmer, 2018). The

and is entitled to big responsibilities. The position also leads to experience in leader and assist
people to effectively operate vehicles up to or over 7 tonnes such as heavy trucks, tanks, lorries
etc. (Anjum, 2020).

the same in influencing the personality and mind-set of an individual in a positive manner.
Experiences allows an individual to learn something beyond and above the basic level of
education. As an individual, I am planning to acquire skills such as leadership skill, team
management skills, communication skills etc. which can help me in my personal development
and professional development
It facilitates an individual in examination their competence through the application of
their knowledge in the practical conditions of the respective work place. Nowadays, business
organisations want to recruit individuals who are experiences in their particular field of job and
are skills enough to take all the responsibilities associated with the same. Thus, it becomes very
essential for students to apply for internships and job early in their careers so as to gain adequate
experience so as increase their chances of capitalisation of good working opportunity in the
business environment. I believe that in order to achieve greater height in the career it very
essential that an individual grabs the opportunity of gaining good experience. I have worked in
several organisations at different positions which has provide assistance to me in enhancing my
career graph. At my first job, I was assigned the role of a site supervisor.
As a site supervisor I was responsible for supervising and monitoring the operations
carried out by the workers of the organisation. I also had to supervise the work activities of the
sub-contractors so as to communicate the details related to the same to the further concerned
management. In was expected to conduct the inductions at the sites and to brief the workers
about the necessary information related to their operations. I had to make sure that safe working
conditions are regulating at the site and all the safety measures are taken by the worker so as to
reduce the possibilities of any hazardous danger at the site. I needed to determine that the rules
and regulations set by the organisation in regard of the work provided to the workers is taken into
consideration. This job role helped to learn and acquire necessary insights about the management
and communication. My talent management skill got enhanced while due to this job position. I

was able to interact and communicate in a better manner in comparison to how I used to
communicate earlier. This job helped me to become more confident and outspoken as well. My
experience as site supervisor was brilliant and it helped me to learn so many tactics in relation
which how to manage people at work and hope to get the work done effectively as well as
efficiently. Working at this position also facilitated in raising my degree of productivity.
I have also worked as sweeper driver and was employed by the street department so as to
make sure that proper cleanliness and hygiene is maintained at the streets in order to reduce and
furthermore eliminate the chances of blockage or accidents. I was responsible for driving a street
cleaning vehicle which in turn assisted in removing unnecessary trash from the streets. I was
expected to report containment sections of the city and to ensure that they are clean and non-
contaminated.
I was responsible for reading maps and locations in order to reach the destination
effectively. I had to inspect the vehicles before transporting the lined up materials in the same
and needed to make sure that the goods and materials are safe and secured. Loading and
unloading of the concerned goods was also my duty. Being a HGV driver helped me to be more
assertive and attentive in my work. It increased my alertness as well as concentration. My
experience at this job was very exhilarating as I had to travel to different places and destinations.
I loved travelling and this is one of the reason that I was very satisfied, content and happy when I
was performing my duties and responsibilities towards this job.
