SUMMARY
Essential skills for study and employment
There are various kinds of skills that are important to be developed that will directly help
in development of career after graduation. First and the foremost important skill is team working
skill. It is extremely important to learn and develop team working skills as it is not only
important for studies but for employment as well (Virtanen and Tynjälä, 2018). This is because
many jobs require work done in an effective manner with others so that desired aim and
objective can be achieved in an accurate manner (Gallagher, 2016). Another important skill to be
developed is communication skills. It is one of the most important skill because development of
this skill will directly support development of my career after graduation (Virtanen and Tynjälä,
2018). This is because both written and communication skills helps an individual to
communicate their ideas, thinking, point of view with others (Durga, 2018). Other than this
leadership skills is another important skill which is required to develop a successful career. This
is because in professional life one gets many opportunities to lead a tam by showing their
leadership skill for providing his talent, his skills which further helps them in moving forward
within their successful career. All of these skills will together help and support me in my chosen
career after graduation. Together these skills will help in working on large group projects where I
can showcase my leadership skills, team working skills and with the help of communication
skills I will be able to build strong relationship with others.
Reflection
After analysing my similarity score it has been identified that my similarity score is
average and I need to work upon it. But it also helps me in understanding that my knowledge
about a concept is quite good and all I need is to interpret and use facts and information
accordingly. Using Generic assessment criteria I would award myself 75% because in this I have
tried to use relevant and credible literature and have tried to do referencing in an accurate
manner.
