MAIN BODY
What are the most important learning insights you have had so far?
I have had learned a wide range of things so far. This module has helped me in
developing an understanding towards emotional intelligence, academic writing, interview skills,
CV writing, understanding the concept of occupational choice and career planning and learning
the process towards enhancing my existing knowledge, skills and behaviour assessment. These
modules helped me in learning how portfolios can be created online which includes the learning
of an individual and the ways in which the skills can be implemented. On the basis of these
module, I learned the importance of academic writing and learned new ways of writing the same
and also developed an understanding towards how CV can be created (Kotsou, and et.al 2019).
These lectures also helped me in learning the importance of emotional intelligence and the ways
in which it can be utilised in the career of an individual.
With the help of the lecture academic writing, I realized the importance of academic reading. the
lecture made me understood the fact that in order to enhance the academic writing skills, one
should practice reading academic books, journals and other content of similar nature. This
process helps an individual in enhancing his vocabulary and thus enhancing the quality of
academic writing (Schuller, and Schuller, 2018). I also learned the structure of academic writing
within this module. Similarly, these lectures were also effective in the development of my CV
writing skills (Halimi, AlShammari, and Navarro, 2020). Also, learned the meaning of
interviews, how they are conducted, what are their types, the skills that an interviewer must have
within himself in order to take effective interviews of a candidate.
Looking at your learning logs and the PDP please identify:
Strengths
While attending these lectures, I have realized that I am good at academic writing, taking
interviews, researching and analysing an individual in order to determine their skills,
weaknesses, strengths, and other qualities with respect to an individual. I think I am good at
reading too. I have noticed within myself that I have good reading skills and I am capable of
extracting the essence of the content just by reading it once and on the basis of the same, I can
provide recommendations and form relevant conclusions. This effective reading skill helps me in
enhancing the quality of my academic writing too. The reading helps me in enhancing my
knowledge about different concepts and topics of my interest, enhance my vocabulary and then

utilize the same in order to enhance my academic writing skills (Coady, Byrne, and Casey,
2018). With the help of my current knowledge base, I am easily able to make to write on
academic topics without having to search for a topic again and again.
Weakness
Similarly, on the basis of the lectures I attended, I came to understand that in lack the
ability to make a CV and also my emotional intelligence is weak. I have realised that since, my
emotional intelligence is weak, it might affect the career I choose in future. If I want to achieve a
high authority position in my future, it is essential for me to develop the emotional intelligence
within myself. This will help me in gaining a higher position in a reputed organization.
What do you want to do next? Identify one of the areas of your work that needs improvement
and outline 2 or 3 ideas for its development.
I have decided that in my coming years of my educational and professional life, I want to
attain high authority position within a reputed organization. In order to attain the same, I need to
improve my emotional intelligence skills. The emotional intelligence can be developed in an
individual in the following ways:
 In order to enhance my emotional intelligence, firstly, it is essential for me to develop
analytical skills within myself (AkbariLakeh, Naderi, and Arbabisarjou, 2018.). I need to
keep a check on the way I respond to others. I need to determine if I pass critical
comments or judge others on the basis of their opinions. On the basis of the analysis of
my own actions and activities, I need to determine the areas where I need to improve and
then take actions in order to improve the same.
 I will also need to analyse the consequences of my actions on the other people. I will
need to determine if my actions have the ability to impact someone positively or not, or
my actions are causing harm to others and hurting the sentiments of the other people.
