Answer to question 1
Health care and social assistance sector
A.
The health care and social assistance industry has the highest chance of the
employment growth in the present times. In the baseline scenario there are ample amount of
employment opportunities in this industry. The jobs in the health care sectors are always in
demand as it is include everything about helping the people. The careers in the health care
sectors are all about helping the people who are having certain physical problem. The health
care jobs were not given value in the past years but in the present years the scope of jobs in
this industry has increased. The career in the social care concerns helping the vulnerable
people. The job of a nurse was seen as a low profile job in the past years. The scenario has
changed in the present world. A different set of studies has been introduced where the study
of nursing has covered a major portion. Therefore, there are ample amount of health care
professional job that are expected to emerge but definitely not disappear in this sector
(Bowling 2014).
B.
The jobs in the health care sector are increasing as everybody is dependent on the
specialist skills of healthcare professionals at maximum instances. The major reason behind
this is that the individuals look forward to seek help from the health care professionals in case
of help from the professional healthcare sectors. This is the reason the scope of jobs in the
health care sectors have increased. The advancement of facilities in the health care sectors
leads to the development of employment facilities in the health as well as social care sectors.
The reason behind this is that there is variety of specialist careers available within this
system. It includes the clinical support staff, allied health professionals, occupational

4PERSONAL INSIGHT
therapist, speech therapists and art therapists. The social workers play a major role in this
situation. The social workers actively work in this area (Cotlear et al. 2015).
C
The growing need of the health care sectors and the social care sectors it can be
predicted that this industry has a lot of chance to grow itself. To understand the same the
example of the Royal Brisbane can be taken into account. It is a maternity hospital that is
located in Queensland in Australia. It has been designed especially for the women of the
region. The hospital has all the advanced technologies and it has a specialized faculty of
health care professionals. In spite of all this there is huge scope of improvement in the
next five years. The hospital can make changes in the field of their departments. The hospital
has standard facility for the females. It should come up with some other departments which
deal not only the gynecological matters but also the other health factors. In the next five years
the health care services will be highly modernized compared to the present facilities. The
services can be booked through online in the upcoming years. The world is changing itself
from offline to online. The major change that can be predicted in this field is the booking of
the health care services through the use of internet and mobile applications (Drummond et al.
2015).
Answer to question 2
The job cluster that has been selected in this case is the health science
A)
The primary reason for choosing this particular job cluster is that this health care
sectors and social assistance was not recognized earlier and was not considered to be an
important career. The opportunities in the health care sectors are vast but few designations in
this industry were considered of low profile. However this industry had a lot of opportunity

5PERSONAL INSIGHT
and the recognition of this industry was essentially required. People cannot do without
staying healthy. It is more important to have health care sectors in a region than the shopping
malls. It is again necessary to involve the young generations and make them aware of the
scopes that are there in this industry. This is the major reason of choosing this particular
job cluster in this case (Folland, Goodman and Stano 2016).
b) 1. Personal soft skills
The personal soft skills include the teamwork and communication. The health care
sectors include hospitals, special health care sectors and small health care sectors. The
teamwork is essentially required in the running of the hospitals. The doctors, the nurses and
the entire staff of the hospitals must work as an entire team. Without team work no job can be
accomplished in a successful manner. The Royal Brisbane hospital faced such issues where
the lack of teamwork resulted in the serious issues faced by the hospital. The communication
between the members of the hospital should be transparent and fabricated. The
communication between the health care provider and the ones who are on the receiving end
should be clear. The proper communication is required to do the job efficiently. For example,
if a doctor wants to prescribe a specific to his patient it is important for him to communicate
the same to the nurse who is in charge of the patient. His job will be accomplished when he
will convey that to the nurse by writing it down in the prescription (Grajales III et al. 2014).
2. Technical knowledge and skills
The technical knowledge is essentially required in this industry. The technical
knowledge includes the database management, the customer service, the process of
bookkeeping, the event management and the campaign that are organized in the social media.
The health care sectors are customer-oriented. The service offered to the customers is of
prime importance. The management of the data regarding the information of the customers

6PERSONAL INSIGHT
should be kept a properly maintained and a proper track of the information should be kept.
The extra facilities that are offered by the health care facilities should be promoted in the
official websites of the hospitals. It will increase the need of the services of the sector. The
skill of book keeping is essentially necessary as the information related to the organization
should be well recorded as it includes the details of the information of the clients that should
be kept confidential (van Scheppingen, et al. 2016).
Answer to question3.
A) Temperament
The personality test has been conducted in this report. The result concluded that a
person is who is more extravert, who is having more intuitive mind, who is more inclined
towards her feeling, who is more perspective towards her tactics and who is turbulent in his
identity is a campaigning person (Lewin 2013).
The temperament of the person who is having the shade of campaigning is more of an
extrovert person than of introvert (Maples-Keller et al. 2017). The energy of this type of
person is mostly intuitive than observant. He is mostly active and does not act in a passive
manner. The tactics of the person having the mentioned personality is prospecting and is of
turbulent identity (16personalities.com. 2017).
b. Learning Styles
The learning style refers to a range of comparing theory and it can be contested.
According to this theory all people can be classified according to their style of learning in
spite of the existing theories. The learning of every individual varies. The learning style of
the person having campaigning personality is adaptable to any situation and they are ready to
learn any situation easily (Kline 2015).

c. Resilience
The person having campaigning personality is having the capability to tackle the
difficult situations in an easy manner. They panic in difficult situations but they have the
quality to tackle the problems in a rational and practical manner. The persons having this type
of personalities have the potential to deal the situation effectively (Allen et al. 2014).
Key findings

average and there are many
chances for it to be better. My
habits and abilities have huge
scope of being better. There are
certain habits in the personality
that the persons having the
campaigning personalities have
like being unrealistic at times
and taking much pressure. This
can be improved (this 2017).
B Review of academic problems The academic career was
average and it was not
impressive to a great level but
was standard and had huge
scope of improvement.
C Key findings of the strengths of
improvement

of improvement. The person

personality has the biggest

strength of being extrovert. The
extrovert and intuitive nature
helps in adaption with all types
of situation and it helps in
making more improvement as a
person gets adapted to the
situation easily. By using this
strength the pitfalls can be
improved and the rectification
can be made in an assertive
manner (McDonald 2013).
