INTRODUCTION
Career development is a thing which every human being seeks in his life. Every person
wants growth in his professional life and for this he make a plan or path which it follows till he
does not achieve that goal. The plan is concerned about how an individual would reach to his
ultimate destination with respect to his career. Professional career growth is developed by
acquiring the skills and knowledge which is required in his work or forte. An individual
generally pursue his career into the field in which he has interest or he considers it as his forte.
When an individual does the work of his interest, he performs it with utmost energy and
motivation. Similarly I have an interest in a particular field i.e. childcare (Ali and Menke, 2014).
Since my school days I want to pursue my career in this field as I believe it is my sole forte.
These report high lights about my career plan and how much I have achieved it. The
report also includes the skills and knowledge I required to acquire during the path and the
difficulties which I faced in between. The report also talks about my future goals which I have
planned for myself and are still waiting to get complete.
Personal reflection on career development, and journeyed so far.
Childcare career development, also known as child health care where the doctors or the
nurses take care over the health of children. Since my school days in had a very keen interest in
biology subject. It was a subject where I used to secure the highest marks. That point of time I
develop a very great interest in the field and wanted to pursue into this field only. Later after
completing my schooling, I researched about the qualification I would be needing in becoming a
doctor or nurse (Bloch and Richmond, 2015). From the research I found out the required
academics which I need to undertake to achieve my sole dream of becoming a doctor. I
completed my NCFE CACHE level 3 diploma in child care and education. After that I did my
BTEC national Diploma in children’s care, learning and development. After completing my
BTEC education, I joined for an internship in a child care hospital, where my initial work was to
taking care about the medicines of children, latter my work getting expand and slowly but
steadily I gained the confidence to check up the children and recommend the medicines and
other advices by myself.
In my training, I got to learn a lot of things which I could not got to learn in my studies.
They say that doing practical gives you more knowledge and skills then to learn it in theory. The
hospital which I did my internship has a total different ward for children. Children who are
unhealthy or have some issue with their heath admit there. During my internship, in realized that
week points in me. I got to know that I am very good in taking care of patients or children but I
don’t have that much confidence when it comes to performing the things practically. I learned
that I used to lose confidence when I encounter with patient which was I believe a major loop
whole in my personality. Because with confidence, the task are done with perfection. If as I

that I used to lose confidence when I encounter with patient which was I believe a major loop
whole in my personality. Because with confidence, the task are done with perfection. If as I
doctor or nurse I lose confidence then how can patient can gain confidence in me. I practice a lot
in filling my this loop whole. I made my mind very strong and start believing in my work. Later I
also found out that with the lack of confidence my communication skills are also getting
affected. At the time of checking up the patient and making they understand about the problem
or issue has become very much hard for me. To overcome this issue, I started to communicate
myself in front of mirror (Blustein, 2013). I practiced it daily till I personally did not have the
confidence to develop a good communication with others. With regular practice, I noticed in
myself that my confidence level has increases along with mu communication skills. I noticed this
change as now I don’t feel hesitate or unconfident while checking up my patients. After
completing my internship in hospital, I started my preparation for NVQ level 3 in Children’s
Care, Learning and Development course. That is consider to be as a last course in becoming fully
qualified for Pedialogy. I got entrance for this course as get qualified for the same. It was a three
level course in which after 2nd level the candidate need to do an internship in which he has to
gain the partical knowledge about the education which he has gained from this particular course.
The time when I have completed my 2nd level for internship purpose I meanwhile gave my
application for internship at Birmingham children’s hospital. The hospital comes in the list of
best hospitals in UK specially for child care. The hospital has all the advance technology and
facilities and aprt from this they take all kind of cases be it a trauma or any kind of pediatric
intensive case. I chose this hospital because I personally believed that if I would get a chance to
get into this hospital as a intern only, I would be getting more exposure to the different kinds of
cases. Which ultimately help me and my knowledge to grow.
Skills and Knowledge that has unable in efficient working
From my school days I was very much brilliant in Biology, but major positive learning I
developed in my internship period. During my internship I develop the following skills and
knowledge which has helped me in performing the work with full efficiency:
Critical thinking: When a person does the particle of the things which he has learned in theory,
he would start developing his critical thinking about how actually the things are need to get
performed. I things when doing in practical are very different when learn in theory. The pressure
of handling a patient and critically analyses of their heath and situation is a big task. But from the
internship, I developed the skills for critical analyses of a patient situation (Brown and Brown,
2012). It have helped me in developing and polishing my skills more and also from this I have
gained confidence in performing the things.
Good communication: You need to be very skilled with regarding your communication skills
also. With good communication you would be able to make other people understand about the
problem or issue under which the patient is going through. Bad communication would lead the
patient with more tension and more complex thoughts. During the internship, I found my loop
whole of bad communication which I improve in myself by practicing over my communication
skills in the front of mirror. With the time I myself noticed the change in me and slow but
steadily I gained confidence in my communication.

More efficiency: By regular practicing, I become very much efficient and special in some tasks.
This has helped in bringing the efficiency in my performance. By regular performance of tasks, I
not only completed the work at time but also with perfection (Brown and Hirschi, 2013). In my

team, in teams we used to perform our duty which has helped me in gaining the trust in other
members and also other members gained trust in me (Claussen and et. al., 2014). Developing the
spirit for team work is very much necessary. It is the team work only which makes an operation
in an operation theater successful.

them to use their strength and try to make it stronger. As in my case, I have a strong strength that
I was very good in my studies. My past academics were very good and by over viewing it I took
the decision of becoming a doctor. During the introspect, I came across with the following

manage to have a good score or rank in my class. After introducing with Biology subject I got to

Every CCM possess different style of handling children such some are rigid and follow
administrative procedure and some are flexible; work according to the situation and environment
which is best suitable for results and outcomes. Both are effective and result oriented in nature
but it depend upon CCM how he manages other people.
Weakness and Challenges- Each and every individual has weakness which means
everyone is lack of something which need improvement. Becoming a manager is not and it
requires various types of skills as well as knowledge and high of expertise. Such as person
should have problem solving nature, able to handle team and group etc (Sampson and et. al.,
2014). In professional career development, trainers helps person to adopt such skills and develop
them accordingly. So, my main weaknesses which I realised are as mentioned below-
Poor communication- Not everyone have good communication skills&when Ifocus on
my professional career development I found that my communications skills are poor when
because I am unable to talk to people with confident and when I communicate to them they do
not understand what exactly the message is being communicated. So, to improve this weakness
firstly certain points are necessary which were adopted by me such as to enhance communication
skills it is important to be a good listener and understand other point of view then make
communication first priority which will give confidence to speak and communicate.
Introvert- Another weakness is being introvert in nature. It is a quality in which personis
shy, did not evolve with others or say public. Individual with such quality cannot become a
manager. Because to become a manager person need to extrovert and understand people
problems & solve them. With help of PCD, they help individuals so that they are open to
everyone and able to evolve with public. It is important for every organisation to focus on such
factors who affect employee at workplace and hinders the growth as well as overall
development. Goals & objectives cannot be achieved if staff members and people face issues at
workplace. To solve such issues, HR of the company need to make ensures that every employee
is performing in appropriate manner which leads to proper functioning of business.
Development of weakness-
After analysing weakness, it is also crucial so that weakness which has been identified
needs to be developed so that they are improved in effective manner. Areas where weaknesses
are analysed can be developed by many methods and ways which are discussed below-
Training-To improve weakness it is necessary to acquire for training because it helps in
developing skills as well as knowledge about particular field or area. Also, it increases
productivity of employee and turn them into valuable asset of firm. This also makes employee
efficient to handle and manage problems independently. So, at workplace it is done at every
phase so that errors and conflicts do not take place during the process.

should have problem solving nature, able to handle team and group etc (Sampson and et. al.,
2014). In professional career development, trainers helps person to adopt such skills and develop
them accordingly. So, my main weaknesses which I realised are as mentioned below-
Poor communication- Not everyone have good communication skills&when Ifocus on
my professional career development I found that my communications skills are poor when
because I am unable to talk to people with confident and when I communicate to them they do
not understand what exactly the message is being communicated. So, to improve this weakness
firstly certain points are necessary which were adopted by me such as to enhance communication
skills it is important to be a good listener and understand other point of view then make
communication first priority which will give confidence to speak and communicate.
Introvert- Another weakness is being introvert in nature. It is a quality in which personis
shy, did not evolve with others or say public. Individual with such quality cannot become a
manager. Because to become a manager person need to extrovert and understand people
problems & solve them. With help of PCD, they help individuals so that they are open to
everyone and able to evolve with public. It is important for every organisation to focus on such
factors who affect employee at workplace and hinders the growth as well as overall
development. Goals & objectives cannot be achieved if staff members and people face issues at
workplace. To solve such issues, HR of the company need to make ensures that every employee
is performing in appropriate manner which leads to proper functioning of business.
Development of weakness-
After analysing weakness, it is also crucial so that weakness which has been identified
needs to be developed so that they are improved in effective manner. Areas where weaknesses
are analysed can be developed by many methods and ways which are discussed below-
Training-To improve weakness it is necessary to acquire for training because it helps in
developing skills as well as knowledge about particular field or area. Also, it increases
productivity of employee and turn them into valuable asset of firm. This also makes employee
efficient to handle and manage problems independently. So, at workplace it is done at every
phase so that errors and conflicts do not take place during the process.
Engage in Teamwork- When working in organisation it is important that every individual or
team member should engaged in a team and with people so that work is divided and tasks are
completed within a given period of time (Stead and et. al., 2012). Engaging in team also
enhances understanding and develops relationship between individual and with members of the
team.
Brainstorming & Group discussion- Another way of improving the above analysed
weaknesses are that HR manager of the enterprise should conduct brainstorming & group
discussion so that it will help people to evolve with each other and everyone one will be able to
communicate with other individual easily. Professional career development help every individual
to analyse and examine strength as well weakness so that they can be improved more & at wider
as well as broader level. It is time consuming process but it also assist person to develop skills &
knowledge and apply them in organisation or at workplace.
After a brief analysis of above matter it is stated in organisation every employee faces issues as
well as challenges at workplace. So, professional career development assists people to cope-up
with such problems and improve their weakness (Sung, Turner and Kaewchinda, 2013). Also,
growth and overall development of individual enhances at larger scale. Thus, with help of PCD,
it becomes easy for everyone to work with peace and smooth manner.
Employment goals and personal actions
The employment goal is to become a child health care manager. The role of a child health
care manager is to assists the other doctors, allot them with patients and manages all the patients
and resources. The task of a manager is solely a hard work as he is required to monitor the
doctors, nurses, patients’, resources and much more by himself. Also to get at such stage it
requires a lot of hard work and years of experience.
Goal: My goal is to become a child care manager.
Action plan: As I mention above, I have already send my application to Birmingham child care
hospital. That hospital is listed as one of the finest hospital in UK which has all the resources and
advance technology for treating their patients. The hospital also undertakes all kinds of cases
which would provide more exposure to my skills (Vondracek, Lerner and Schulenberg, 2019).
The hospital would be a great place for polishing of my knowledge and skills. Also internship
from this hospital would increase the value for me. If I would like to work in any major and
famous hospital they would happily accept my job there. Apart from this, it would make my
work and skills significant. After completing my internship, sometimes it happens that the
hospital itself will hire you as a doctor by monitoring your performance, so if I performed well in
their eyes it is likely to get a chance to get hired from them. But if I do not get any offer from
them, first I will complete my last level of my NVQ level course, and then I would apply for
child health care in hospitals or nursing homes.

managerial skills. So therefore, I would also necessary for me to build up the managerial skills in
