Executive Summary
Clifton Gallup Strengths and Johari’s Window theories are crucial in determining
individual strengths so that employers can design training programs to address the weaknesses of
their staff. Accordingly, the STAR model helps interviewees in answering behavioral-based
queries to enhance their employability in their respective industries. However, students need to
network to create contacts. Networking not only improves job search but also provides
individuals with an opportunity to advance their careers. As a BSc (Hons) Business Management

in succeeding in the business industry. For this reason, I plan to undertake a project management
course in addition to my degree to enhance my competitiveness in the service industry.

Section A: Know Yourself
I am studying BSc (Hons) Business Management and my career aspirations are to
become an administrative officer or a Business Manager. I possess the needed skills that are
required for a business administrator including technology experience, teamwork, and
communication, organizational and necessary educational qualifications. In today’s competitive
and uncertain business environment, business administrators are expected to work with other
staffs in organizing and overseeing projects. For this reason, I will not have difficulties working
with other colleagues. It is also important for a business administrator to exhibit effective
communication skills to facilitate interaction with individuals from distinct departments (Krizan
2006). Consultation with other project managers and the finance department for the needed
resources to complete the project warrants excellent communication skills.
Organization skills are crucial too in prioritizing workload. As a future business
administrator, it will be my responsibility to organize work based on their importance to the
organization. Therefore, with my organizational skills, these will never be a problem because I
will organize work based on deadlines and their significance in realizing the company’s
objectives. We are living in a world characterized by technological advancements and basic
computer skills are essential in today’s workplace environment. For this reason, I will use my
computer skills including the use of a spreadsheet to organize my work in addition to utilizing
portable projectors for presentations on the milestone that I have realized as an administrator.
