Learning log
In week 1, I have learnt about the professional values and knowledge which are important
for every individual. It has analysed that the values and knowledge creates the vision and mission
for the business. When I will work in company, I need to have these values to understand the
core standards and professionalism to communicate with client, put values into actions and
achieve goals (O'Brien, and Graham, 2020). This weak has made me realise that, being clear
about standards and goals is important for future growth.
In week 2, I have learned that career planning is most important activities which needs to
think and perform by every individual. This week states that I need to plan my career by
analysing where I am, what I want to be, how I can do this and make an action plan. By learning
this, I have thought by my career goals which shows that I have interest in being market manager
in a reputed organisation. I want to showcase my communication and convincing skills to
generate sales for the company. Here, my strength is I am good in making customer relations and
influence them towards company products. I develop values like professionalism, honour and
passion in my working.
In week 3, it is most important skill which is required in every filed or area in life. This
week taught me about academic writing and its importance while learning in the university.
Hence, I have learned about how to write in professional manner and make my own content to
maintain academic integrity (Pugh, and Broome, 2020). I have gain insight that, this writing will
be helpful in my career to communicate with business professionals and be unique.
Week 4 have thought us about the importance of emotional intelligence while working in
an organisation. An individual must have this skill to cope up with many complex situation. I get
much insight about being emotionally strong to maintain a positive workplace environment. It

includes self awareness, motivation and social skills. I have ability to keep my emotions in
control while managing other people. Therefore, I learned to have good self control at the time of
conflicts, miss communication and collaboration to keep the environment healthy.
In week 5, the lecture shown me how to write CV and why it is a crucial part in building
career. It is the foremost step which I should take before applying to any job role. A CV is the
documents which showcase an insight about my personality, skills, attributes and experiences.
Hence, I learned to write my CV in professional way. There is a structure and rules of making
own resume which need to be follow to keep it structure, concise and informative.
In week 6, interview skills is the part of this module which is the most important skills
that I have learned so far. I have seen that, people often afraid of giving interviews as a part of
their job role by not having proper skills (Salter, and Rhodes, 2018). I learned that interviews
must be given in confident state whether individual knows the correct answer or not. The
interviewer will see confidence, activeness and general knowledge of the person.
All the 6 weeks have taught me great skills and knowledge for my personal and
professional development. I have observed so many skills which are present in me that could be
my strength such as communication, interpersonal. But some are my weakness which I need to
develop within some time. I am going to use these skills for achieving my career goal and get
many opportunities to be successful.
