Self-Assessment for Graduate Developer Job

Self-Assessment
Introduction
Understanding our personal goals, values, interests, personal attributes, attitudes
and skills is known as self-awareness. It involves honest reflection and self-exploration.
In this part of the assignment, I shall be describing about my personal attributes and
skills highlighting my strengths and weaknesses, being a student pursuing Bachelor
degree of information for determining whether I am suitable for the job of Graduate
Developer.
Self-reflection exercises
The self-assessment exercises were comprised of the skill tests and personality
tests. These exercises made me feel well-prepared and helped me in feeling more self-
confident at the time of assessment. Through this self-assessment I enabled my
employers to know who I am and what I can bring to their organisations. I am
completely aware of the fact that my personal values, my value of profession as well as
my social status have a great influence on building a professional helping relationship in
between me and my work practices. In this entire process, I found one thing very
surprising. This self-assessment has enabled me to critically identify my strengths and
weaknesses and I feel a positive change within me now. Until today, I was unaware of
my weaknesses and I never thought of them in this way. But today, I do, and I have
understood that to excel in my professional career, I need to overcome the weakness of
mine and foster my strengths. I have realised a change in myself to overcome this
weakness.
Personal Attributes and employability skills
As far as my personal attributes are concerned, I want to mention that of my
skills and attributes of self-reliance, creativity, flexibility and adaptability. I am very
creative. I love making eye-catching presentations and easy to handle documentations.
With the same, I am very flexible and always have the willingness and ability to respond
to positive changes readily within the organisation. I never say things like “It’s not my
job” like things whenever I am asked to make on new assignments or new work. Even in
during my project, the things that my team members failed in doing, were done by me. I
never afraid of taking responsibilities and always willingly take the responsibility of
anything if it is within my expertise. I have identified my employability skills. I have found
that I have a good communication and problem-solving skills. Through various
stages in my life, I have been given the task of public speaking and speaking with new
members in my society. Whether it is in inter-school competition or in community
program or in my part time job that I am doing being a second-year student, I have
always been successful in ensuring thorough communication. I do believe that
communication is undoubtedly one of the most important skills to possess in
contemporary scenario. Being able to communicate effectively and in clear manner in
our environment and comfort zone do seems challenging sometime but it increases
rapidly in different culture. Globalisation is something that is completely unavoidable in
