Time management is useful because its help the person to improve the self control skills and
help to boost his efficiency power. Time management help to give the person a set time in
which they to complete their work.
 Time management provide a structure to the person that how they have to distribute
their hours of the day, it should be aware for every individual because its help them to
achieve their goals on time, they can work in a flow and they manage themselves for
every task.
 Example- a company have to set the time management of the workers that a specific
amount of product they have to produce on the set time it helps the workers as well as
the company to develop the target which they have to achieve and they can evaluate
their working efficiency.
 I choose to reflect on this skill because the time management is very important for the
person to mange their hours without managing the time its not possible to achieve the
goals on time. Time management is the key for the any work its improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of the person(Nawrot and Doucet 2014, ).

some tips of effective speaking. From my self analyse I found that there are much
improvements in my speaking skills. I also take feedback from my fellow student and tutor
and I find the same thing from there side as well(North , North and Coble, 2015.).
My findings from the feedback that a public skills give many advantages in life so I
am trying much focus on the my communications skills.

What is the core skill to develop?
Team working is a collaborative effort of team to achieve the common objectives in the best
effective and efficient way in other words a way of organzing work that involves people
working in separate teams to do different tasks to achieve the same goals.
Why is this core skill important? Why did I select this skill to reflect on? (use relevant
theories and concepts to support your answer)
Team working skills is important skills because its help the people to guiding helping,
persuading, sharing openly and willingly. There are many problems comes to achieving the
objectives of the company so team working skills helps to solve the problems. Its help to
exchange the ideas which comes from the different peoples and its provide the creativity in
the tasks. Its should be aware in people because its give much help to reduce the work load
many people have doing same work so work will allot and work load will reduce(Watkinson
and Clarke 2018.).
Example- if a company wants to produce a 500 products in a day and a individual has a
capacity of production is 100 product per day so it is not a easy task for the individual to do
that task in time on the same situation if 5 people are working in a team to produce 500
products that will be easy to produce.
I chose this skill because working in a team has many benefits which help the
individual to get more knowledge, improve in skills, reduce of work load and its help to
people to work more efficiently. I chose to reflect on this skill because many people have
different nature they are not able to work in team they want to work as individual, team
working help them to adapt this and make them comfortable with others.

Reflect on your current competent regarding this skill. How did you assess your

I am very good in working with team there are many events are conduct in university. Where
I participate with my team, I also love to participate in sports, games and other activities with
my team and many times I analyse my self on the team working that what are my weaknesses
and strengths.
To get to know about my team working skills I collect feedbacks from my classmates and
teacher, and I got very positive feedback from them which motivated me.
Can you identify any contradictions from your analysis above? For example, is there a
match between how you see yourself and how others see you, or not?
From the above feedbacks I found some interesting strengths as well also found some
weakness on me that I must need to improve. Feedback show me that I easily got angry when
my team mates are not doing work well instead of motivate them many times I scolded them
that is the main weakness that I collect from feedback I have to improve this weakness
otherwise it will affects on my career and my skill.
All the feedback that I got from my personal sources that are reliable because I worked with
them and they know me better than any other.

How might this skill help me in the future? (use references to support your argument)
Team working skills is very important for my further career because where ever I go for work
i have to work in team so I need to develop a team working skills. Team working skills help
me to get knowledge and skills which I don't know its help me to improve my efficiency.

Written communication- involves any type of message that makes used of the written word.
It is the most important than any other mode of business communication. Written
communication is the best communication mode with have the less errors of message.
Why is this core skill important? Why did I select this skill to reflect on? (use relevant
theories and concepts to support your answer)
It is very important skills that have to be in any individual, I am a student that is very
important skills that I need in me, in university there are many projects, files and assignments
are allotted for students that all have to be submitted in written. And this is time of
digitalisation where communication is much improved in written, many people in the world
are using mails, SMS and MMS for communications. It is very convenient and fast mode of
written communications.
Example- a good written communications skills help to implement a good impact on its
readers
using the rights word on the right place. If employees wants a day off and they write a letter to
boss if written communications was effective then it is implement a positive impact on the
boss and may be they can get the day off.

Reflect on your current competent regarding this skill. How did you assess your
competence? (use your self-assessment findings, feedback from peers and your tutor,

question)
As a student written communication skills is must important for me to transfer my thoughts to
other, till now I am not good enough in written communication but there are many ways
which I am trying to improve my written communication. I am participating in written
competition which are conducted by the university, taking the special classes of the
communication.
To analyse my written communication I did self analyse with written practice of any random
topic and then evaluate it myself. I also sent many of letters and emails to my class mates and
tutor and get many difference feedback from them. Some of my feedback are gives much
motivation to me and some are the very de-motivated.
Can you identify any contradictions from your analysis above? For example, is there a
match between how you see yourself and how others see you, or not?
This feedback helps me to get to know about the weaknesses of my written communications
skills, I found the most comments on the grammar and word placing. This weakness spoil my
written communications skills I have to much focuses on this and improve my skills.
There are many feedbacks I found that irrelevant because many students also don't have much
knowledge of the written communications skills and some feedbacks that are given by the
tutor they help me to get my mistakes on the written communications skills.
