Self-Development Portfolio
Personal Skills audit
A personal skills is an effective way to adjudge the skill of an individual.
Skills Remarks
Communication I have realised the importance of communication for sustaining myself in
modern and dynamic organisations. As a manager working in the public
relations department it was my role to use my effective communication
skills to converse and maintain good relations with the customers the
community and the business partners. I am multi-lingual and have the
ability to fluently speak and write in English, Slovak, Czech and Turkish.
Negotiation skills I was designated as a Sales and Reservations Executive in the past. This
was the time frame within with I developed the skill of effective
negotiation. My extensive knowledge about the prevalent prices and trends
in the industry has helped me develop an awareness in gaining ideas about
the actual price possibilities. Thus I have the skills to effectively persuade
and negotiate.
Recruitment skills I have string skills regarding industry requirement and information. In my
past organisation I was entrusted with the role of recruitment and
acquisition of talent as I possessed the skill to adjudge the candidates
effectively.
Leadership I am aware of the styles of leaderships that exist and am aware of my style
of leadership. While working in the posts of president and vice president of
my past organisation I have developed an understanding for the needs of
the stakeholders of companies. I was praised on several occasions for my
democratic leadership styles. I have given my teams opportunities on
several instances to take decisions on their own and to be responsible for
their own divisions.
Knowledge about the
industry
I boast knowledge in divisions such as cruise ship operations, operations
and hospitality in hotels. I have knowledge about VIP events, conferences,
wedding management and dealing with operations including more than
4000 guests.
Multiculturalism I have experience of working in dynamic team consisting of people of
different cultural backgrounds. I have come to consideration of the fact
that multiculturalism is important when it comes to sustainability of
healthy working conditions and culture in an organisation. Thus, I am
aware of the importance of appreciation of people belonging to different
cultural orientations as they bring in their individual expertise.
Time management The importance of time management should not be undermined when it
comes to operations within an organisation. While organising meetings,
training, and organisation of meetings and every other operations of the
organisation.

Business ethics While operating in any organisation one should be aware that they are
abiding the laws and regulations of an organisation. I am aware of the
importance of the same and have also showcased ethics in my techniques
of communication and conversations with different people in the
organisation. While communication I was always careful about the
feelings of people and put in efforts not to hurt anyone’s feeling or to
offend someone. Furthermore, I always made sure that my behaviour and
proceedings were up to the standard of modern business standards.
Computer Applications I am a certificate holder of various Microsoft software such as Word,
excel, power point and outlook. Additionally I have command over the
usage related to internet.
Personal SWOT analysis
Strengths: I have fluent communication skills in languages such as English, Slovak, Turkish and
Czech. I also possess good leadership skills with skills of tolerance and acceptance for people
belonging to different cultural orientations. I am have considerable amount of expertise and
experience in fields of leaderships as I have been involved in various positions across dynamic
organisations. Furthermore, I have extensive knowledge about the industry and possess good
skills of persuasion and negotiation that are required in the industry that I am operating in.
Weakness: I consider myself as a perfectionist. This is not considered as a weakness by most
people. However, for me it is a weakness since I have been subject to be taking too much time to
complete tasks with perfection and precision. This has led to loss of opportunities and deadline
misses which have had catastrophic consequences in the past. Furthermore, I do not have the
ability to take failure of under achievements. I tend to breakdown emotionally.
Opportunities: I have found an opportunity to grow my HRM skills in a multinational company
in Australia. I will have an opportunity to improve my skills and repertoire in the said division.
Furthermore, I would need to implement my interpersonal skills and mind the aspects of ethical
communication and consideration while communication with the trainees and various

stakeholders. Thus, I would need to impart my ability and skills regarding human resource
management and that would elevate my organisation’s human capital.
Threat: I have identified a threat of opportunity loss related to securing my position as junior
line manager in the multinational company. The employment market is full of people who are of
employable quality and thus can be selected for the role that I wish to fulfil. Thus, I would need
to showcase my skills effectively. The most important aspect of the interview would to sell my
skills effectively with the skills I have.
