INTRODUCTION
Possession of personal and professional skills, abilities and knowledge are immensely
essential for an individual to operate successfully at any operational job within any business
industry of the world. It is also immensely important for an individual to consistently focus on
their personal and professional development in order to grow themselves and their careers
(Shaheen and Hameed, 2020). This report analyses the inadequacies in my personal and
professional abilities towards my career ambition and evaluates how these can be improved in
order for me to grow and develop myself professionally and personally in the future.
MAIN BODY
PART 1: Career Goals
There are present several career choices available to me based on my skills, abilities,
competencies and knowledge base. The preferred industry where I wish to work is the hospitality
industry because I have prior experience of operations within the hospitality industries and enjoy
the working environment which allows for me to be creative and work independently towards
my and the business’s objectives. The three career choices available to me pertain to the
following:
Hospitality Manager: A hospitality manager overlooks and manager all the entire operations of
a hospitality business such as hotels, resort etc., delegating the various tasks amongst their co-
workers while also supervising their performance in order to identify lapses and address them in
order for the hospitality business to operate successfully with optimum performance and
efficiency.
Hospitality Marketer: A marketer within the hospitality industry promotes and advertises the
services offered by the hospitality business organisation to the customers in the external markets
in order to generate interest amongst the customers and convert them into making a financial
transaction with the hospitality business organisation.
