MAIN BODY
Personal Statement
I am working for a company named T.J Plastering. The company deals in providing of
plaster products and other construction related services to its different customers and clients.
Therefore while working for this company I have made sure that I am able to enhance my overall
level of skills without facing problems and issues.
Earlier on while I was a student I did not had much experience of the way the industries
used to function (Callahan and et.al., 2020). But after working at T.J Plastering I have gained
vast and valuable experience on the way the organizations operate and therefore this has been
very useful for me in ensuring that I am able to make use of my relevant skills and competencies
effectively and efficiently without facing problems and issues. Thus in this way I have made sure
that I gain relevant experience of the industry in which I work.
Thus, I have gained knowledge. With the use of knowledge I have made sure that I can
gain valuable experience in the Construction industry in the future. Therefore it is quite
important for a person to make sure that by gaining valuable experience relevant progress is
made in the future. I have learned that Construction industry is a wide one and covers different
types of aspects. It also considers the maintenance of the buildings which have been constructed.
Therefore in this way I have made sure that by working continuously in this industry I am able to
attain relevant skills which will be quite useful for me in the future.

I learned that there are three main sectors in the Construction industry- Commercial and
social, Residential and Infrastructure. All of these sectors form the core of this industry and
contribute effectively to its overall output without problems and issues. Therefore these sectors
of the construction industry contribute in their own manner towards the attainment of the
different types of goals and objectives. While working at T.J Plastering I have learned about
these sectors and the contribution they make as a whole towards the overall output effectively
and efficiently without problems and issues.
The industry accounts for nearly 3 million jobs which therefore contributes to 10% of
U.K.'s total employment and thus includes both manufacturing and services. As Construction is
high-cost, high-risk and long-term activity its overall performance is quite good indicator of the
condition of the economy as whole.
Thus, In the future my focus will be on the way I can enhance my overall skills and
knowledge and thus make sure that I am able to attain the relevant goals and objectives related to
my development so that I am able to progress further in my career in this industry.
Thus I can say that I have gained skills like time-management, communication skills so
that their application can be made effectively by me in the future if the requirement to do so is
there. Therefore I have made sure that by working and gaining experience I am able to achieve
my different types of goals and objectives.
Self-reflection on experience
I am working in T.J Plastering. It is a company which deals in the providing of plaster-
related products and services to its customers (da Ponte and Quaresma, 2016). As a part of this
company I have gained valuable experience which will be very helpful for me to progress further
in my career in the Construction Industry. Thus as a part of this company I have made sure that
by gaining relevant skills and knowledge I can ensure my personal as well as professional
development.
When I first started out in this company I had little knowledge on how to behave
professionally in a dynamic environment (Durks and et.al., 2017). I also did not knew much
about the ethics which are required in a professional setting and their application. Therefore by
working in T.J Plastering I have made sure that the dynamic environment was used by me in the
right manner to attain knowledge and skills about behaving in a professional environment and
setting and applying the ethics in my behaviour.
