As per above result, I also need to work on behaviour in order in crease my emotional

maintaining better relations with others. But I am not sure about my traits, feeling related to
career options and I am confused to chose people in order to make friends as well as lack
positive outlook from many options. I might learnt more if I give more attention in session,
listen carefully the teachers and others in order to improve my EI (Hargreaves. and O'Connor,
2018).

In this week, I learnt about how to make effective CV for getting better job opportunity.
By reflecting my personal skills, competencies and ability I can create a personal profile of mine
in order to make better CV.

develop my skills and new about new areas or subjects. Also, I am enable to conduct my
7

practices independently in complex working environment and manage to create unity among
team to achieve common goals (Laverack, 2019).
I order to make effective CV and make improvement in my current CV I received advise
of my teacher which is in CV I have to include many things such as my personal profile,
achievements, qualifications, professional skills, hobbies, soft skills. For this I need to use
simple and effective words to describe my potential skills in order to get better job opportunity
(Lorino, 2018).

I am good listener and learner, thus I understands how to carefully fulfil any tasks. I
know how to make proper strategies for the firm I work with so to make them stand out of
crowd. (Powell and Bodur,2019).
My technological skills are very sound thus I can use any kind of devices. My
weaknesses are I am unable to manage my time according to the tasks assigned to me as I spent
too much time in perfecting every projects leads to wasting my more time on one project.
My skills of technologies will be very adaptable for this role. This role of manager needs
to make use of many devices, thus I can effectively use them and can also help my peers in using
them. I have extensive knowledge of market which will help me to provide great insights of
market to your company (Sousa and Rocha, 2019).
If I have an angry customer, I will try to actively and patiently listen to problems they are
facing. I will strive to provide them with necessary solutions and provide them with offers or
rebates so that they will company satisfied.
The difficult decision I had to make in my job was to choose which market strategy firm
needs to opt in order to get maximum benefits out of it. It is difficult as there are number of
8

strategies and choosing one among it was hard task as firm's success and sales were dependent
on it. I choose to mix variety of strategies so that I can help company to gain its sales (Van Aken
and Berends, 2018).
Reflective summary
In today's session, the aspect I found most interesting is how to write a CV. As earlier I
use to struggle with what to add and what not to in my CV to better attract interviewers. On
thing I learned is not to include my date of birth and unprofessional email address in CV. But I
am still not sure about what skills to write according to the role I interviewed for to stand out of
crowd. In addition to that, I am not sure about how to crack panel interviews. I might have
learned more if I have practised about how to make different CV for different job role. Also, if I
have experienced more interviews before, I might have understand how to answer and how to
stay confident. Things I want to do now is to assess my strengths and weaknesses to better
prepare for the interviews I will have in future. I will study about different types of interviews
and how to crack them. I will enrol in more group discussions so that my confidence in in group
panels will increases. I will learn more about what kind of questions were being asked and
prepare beforehand to support my answers with logical reasoning (Zwozdiak-Myers, 2018).
