INTRODUCTION
Career development is the process of choosing a career path and focusing ourselves fully into
that field. It involves making a plan so that we can achieve our long term goals or what we
actually aspire from our life. Every human being has an expectation regarding his career or
professional life (Hagemann, and Kluge, Langdon, 2019).
To fulfil those expectations everyone makes a plan so that he can reach his final

future goals I want to achieve. It’s also going to talk about the obstacles I faced while pursuing
my career.

Adams, and Weins, 2019).
I used to secure highest marks in biology and from that time only I started my research for
finding how to become a specialist. I completed my BTEC national diploma and NCFE CACHE
and then I started an internship where I got exposure to practical knowledge instead of theory.
Initially my work was to take care of the children but slowly it grew to doing check-ups of the
children on my own and suggesting those medicines.
During that internship I realised that I lack in some areas which mainly were communication
and getting nervous while talking. So to overcome these problems I started working on them so
that when I become a professional doctor I don't have to face these problems again. I started
conversation with more and more people and starting talking to myself in front of the mirror.
After this internship and a level 3 exam I again applied in one of the best hospitals for internship
so that I can learn more from them. It was going to add a feather in my cap. Though it was an
