HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Description
In this reflective journal, I am going to talk about my experience about coming in
Australia as a student. I think my reflection would be valued through the incorporation of
Gibbs Reflective Cycle, which is based on my feelings regarding the actions committed
towards achieving the development. I started job in Australia in the petrol station as a retail
assistant. I found it to be surprising that kids stole things from the store. I am interested to
learn about the culture of the people, which somewhat subsided by finding that aggression is
a common characteristic. I can mention one incident where a guy punched me, as I was
preventing him from stealing.
Feelings
My stay in Australia provided me with mixed feelings. At some times, I felt very bad
and missed my home. Homesickness hovered around me, acting as an obstacle towards
mixing into an entirely new environment. At other times, I felt dominant towards the people
with whom I work. Usually, they are very friendly and cooperative, which boosts my morale
and confidence. All of my colleagues try to help me, which, I think, reduces the instances of
knowledge inadequacies. As a result of this, my performance has improved from the time I
joined. I think that helping each other enhances adjustability skills. At the initial stage, I was
nervous about how to handle the job, however, with the support and motivation of the seniors
and experts, I have regained my confidence. I think regular practical experimentation helped
me to undertake challenging and enduring tasks for expanding the scope and arena of my
knowledge, skills, competencies and abilities.
