MAIN BODY
Self-refection on personal learning and development and the transferable skills
Personal learning and development
Personal development consist of activities that identifies and develop individuals ability or
potential to deliver the facility of being employable, human capital as well as increase the scale
of better quality life. While I was attending the lectures I personally identifies that it play
essential role in day to day life. When I was attending the lecture, the speaker help me in
clarifying my doubt that is what to do in future. Due to the personal development, I have better
opportunity to enhance my skills as well as the personality. As this process for long period of
time it will give assistance in improving and managing my employability in the future too. It will
play crucial role in facing the forthcoming challenges (Duboust and Knight, 2018) . Along with I
have the opportunity to determine what ability I have that describe my strength for better
lifestyle and what are the weakness I need to focus on. my strength is I am confident enough to
take challenges and ability to lead the people in the future. Along with I complete my work on
time which is assigned to me.
I personally believe that I am self-motivated person who believes in ethical values and
enthusiastic to learn new things and acquire knowledge in appropriate manner. Beside this I am
capable to acquired my work life balance in appropriate manner. as I am the critical thinker I
can make fast decision for my personal as well as professional life and solve the issues of others
who are facing some sort or difficulty in completing the task. simultaneously I have ability to
make research which is also my weakness because it create lots of confusion in my mind as well
as I spend little bit of extra time in delivering the perfect data. For the future progress it is
important to develop this weakness otherwise it will create mess at the time of researching
process in any big multi- national organisation (Hill and Scott, 2019).

transferable skills
The transferable skills that I have developed by utilising the personal development module which
is the essential element to manage the working life in effective and efficient manner. all the
identified skill make the experience better in the future. As I am the fresher, I didn’t have any job
experience I determined my strength from the lecture and performing various activities. It is
essential element to analysis the proper skills and knowledge because it highlight the
employability as well as worthiness in the resume which create an impression on the interviewer
(Schultz, et.al 2019). The skills I have developed are mentioned as followed manner:
 Creativity- I have ability to deliver the creative ides top the firm which enhance the
performance in the organisation. the creative idea deliver the best solution to the
organisation to treat the employees in satisfying manner. through the other curriculum
activity, I reorganised the creativity skills.
 Leadership: I personally observe that I have the good leadership skill which will be
beneficial for the future. I good leader is the one who can manage all the function of the
organisation in appropriate style. As I am motivated person I have ability to empower the
employees as well as can support in future organization with all the collaboration and
direction (Illeris, 2018). It is essential to manage the association with full cooperation and
coordination which develop positive environment within the company.
 Time management: the most essential task is to monitor the work on time and meet
deadline in job. Most of the time I can accomplish the task in quicker period of time and
it is demanding skills the recruiter asked for. I can complete work in smart manner rather
then hard work.
 Learning skills: I determined that i can acquire the information rapidly as I have ability
to learn fast. Even though it will give assistance in proper functioning of the organisation.
if I am not able to learn new thing then i will not able to grow as the new era consist of
different operation within the organisation in day to day life.
Technology literacy: in this generation it is important to have the information about the
technological tool which are increasing rapidly nowadays (Maria Soek, and Chaves Haracemiv,
2021). By exploring the internet, I have developed this skill which will be worthy for me in the
upcoming time to monitor the function in effective style.

Therefore, after identifying my skills and the ability to manage the working life in appropriate
manner the human resources manger post will be the most suitable job for me.
Required skill at the time of academic studies, personal life and the
workplace
In order to grab the better occupational skills, I need to develop some of skills which can become
the barrier in the future (Sadikovna, et.al 2021.) . After improving this skill, I am able to to
deliver proper employability service at the workplace along with able to meet my goal in perfect
style. As I considered too much of researching as my weakness it need to be improve as soon as
possible because it create confusion as well as misunderstanding among the people. No doubt the
researching programme deliver the systemic work in professional life. The researching
programme includes lots of data, information and collection of the different analysation
(Paranthaman, et.al 2019). It will more beneficial if I make researching in the spare time as
consume time to go through different sites and data available on the internet. Along with that I
also need to work on my communicational skills which is essential to do because If I am not able
to communicate the employees of the organisation in effective manner I will not be able to
deliver the presentation or any sort of the information in effective as well as appropriate manner.
moreover, the improvement in the communication increase the scale of my confidence and
provide support in encouraging the workers at the workplace. The human resources persons main
task is to manage the employees within the organisation in order to enhance the performance as
well as productivity or profitability of the company.
