1. Overall Career Objective
Eventually, I would like to be a Hotel Manager at Jonah’s Restaurant Australia. For many
individuals who love retreats and going out in the holidays, researches on tourism and events in
Australia show Jonah Restaurant is the most preferred destination because of its spectacular
ocean retreats found at Sydney’s Whale Beach (Jonah's, 2018).
To meet my career objective, however, I am required to go through thorough learning
processes on attributes of becoming a good hotel manager. First, I have to learn how to develop
effective teams while at school as well as attend practical sessions on how to improve customer
experience in line with the vision and mission of the firm I would like to be part of ensuring that
such outlined objectives and goals are met means that I would be improving my prospects of
meeting my career advancements. Academically, I would qualify for Hotel Management using
High School Diploma (i.e. for small restaurants and hotels). However, big facilities like Jonah’s
Restaurant would require a bachelor’s degree in either Business Administration or Hotel
Management to land the job. Some of the hotel management attributes I would like to build in
my academic process to land my career objectives include:
i) Teamwork Promotion
I would build teamwork promotion skills because it would be in my future endeavors as a Hotel
manager. Such is because hotel managers are required to be team builders and doing so requires
them to have teamwork promotion skills. When workers are cohesive in what they do efficiency
and effectiveness of business operations is realized. However, the establishment of an effective
team requires workers to be able to have a chance or opportunity to air their views (Koubova &
Buchko, 2013, pg. 711).

ii) Increasing Interactions
By ensuring that I encourage social behavior, I sure will develop interaction skills to help me
interact with workers and staff if I become a Hotel Manager. Otherwise, I would also be able to
enhance customer satisfaction. I will also learn IT skills to create accounts for social networking
through which my customers would have their complaints posted, have their experiences shared,
and inquiries made.
iii) Meeting Requirements
This skill entails being able to comply with company requirements including policies and
protocols. Therefore, being a marketing manager would require me to regulate the facility on
different fronts including keeping safety standards, cleanliness, as well as keeping contract laws
(Koubova & Buchko, 2013, pg. 712).
1.1. Personal Assessment
1.1.1. D.I.S.C Analysis (in place of Gallup Strengths)
Concerning my D.I.S.C profiling, personality alignment would be as outlined below:
Dominance: (d) is not entirely a trait that I possess. However, I encourage opposition and
criticism if necessary though I do not fight to have my surrounding shaped. In line with this trait,
I value confidence even if I am not fast-paced, forceful, or direct. Otherwise, I am self-driven,
strong-willed, and confident. I am able to see the broad picture; I am pioneering, as well as
accept challenges. Because I am not dominant, I am more patient and less sensitive, while I also
allow deliberations.
Influence: - I mostly possess this (i) trait. I would say so because I love persuading other people
to change for the better. Apart from that, I value honesty, friendship, and relationships. Apart

from that, I am enthusiastic about things; I am convincing, warm, optimistic, and lively. Though
I hate to be ignored, I love working with others while I fear being regarded as a loser and hence,
losing influence. I also do not like being disapproved for what I take to be right or wrong.
Otherwise other attributes that I possesses in line with being influential are:
- Pioneering
- Energizing
- Affirmative
Contrary to that, my weaknesses include being too direct or having candid speeches as well as
researching and confirming everything even for facts.
Steadiness: - This trait is not entirely my personality. However, there are certain (s) traits that
possess. For instance, I am fully committed to collaborating with others to ensure success. I also
value sincerity though I do not applaud dependability. I am also patient, humble, consistent,
calm, and deliberate. I can also accommodate different individual traits and behavior. Apart from
that, I am supportive but I hate being rushed through things. As mentioned before, I am humble
and inclusive though I also embrace multitasking.
Conscientiousness: - Trait © is not entirely my personality because I hate being conscientious to
ensure accuracy and quality. Though I do not dwell on competency and expertise, I like objective
reasoning with others and myself. Therefore, I don’t like being independent and systematic but
rather analytical and diplomatic. I also do not like being criticized but ensure that stability is
maintained in whatever I do. Under this trait, delegation is my thing though I do not encourage
compromising and making decisions that are quick.
