helps person in completing different task in best possible manner. As per my perspective or view, the above material has helped in development of various
employability skills that I can used in future to get reputable job in huge organisation. Such as the SWOT analysis helps me in identifying my key strength or
excels skills that I can used to gain job of my choice. I also able to understand my weakness or skills that I need to improve in order to gain competitive

while job specification is related to experienced, skills and qualification of individuals. So, resources have helped in developing skills of the way things can be
