1. Audit of own skills and competencies using the analysing tools and identification of the skills
that are required for a career on the choice along with evaluation of own skills in
comparison of skills required for chosen career
Skill audit could be defined as the process of analysing own skills so that strong and
weak capabilities could be analysed. With the help of it, it will be very easy for the individuals to
make sure that they are dealing with all the challenges in systematic manner. By using personal
skill audit all the individuals can find opportunity to make changes or improvements in their
qualities for meeting future expectations (Bennett-Levy and Finlay-Jones, 2018). The skill audit
for myself is as follows:
Skills Good Average Bad
Communication ✔
Time management ✔
Market knowledge ✔
Decision making ✔
Problem solving ✔
Strategic thinking ✔
On the basis of above table, it has been analysed that I need to improve time
management, market knowledge, problem solving and strategic thinking skills on the basis of my
skill audit. For this purpose, personal and professional development plan could be used. Detailed
plan is as follows:
