understanding or awareness of something like facts, information, skills and description that is
gained through education or experience by learning. Whereas, creativity is termed as a

review and reflection as this will assist in preparing research report and can be improved

another person's that is used in own writing. All assignment or reports must reference all sources
which used in their work as it includes words, facts, videos, images, ideas, thoughts, data,
statistics, diagrams, audio and websites as well. As I used referencing in my project reports in
order to ensure that this report contains several information which is without plagiarism and
demonstrate the detailed understanding of research as well as facilitate strength and support to
their arguments or information (Abe, 2019). I prepared several reports or research for which
citations are done of respective references. As this helped me a lot in gaining good marks along
with the authentic information. Moreover, the referencing is important for my research work as it
allows to declare the other writers or researchers contribution in particular work .

2) SWOT.
SWOT analysis refers to the technique which is used for the strategic planning in order to
aid individual or organisation to analyse their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities as well as
threats regarding to the planning and business competition. Whereas, IKEA is a well known
company across the world that is a Swedish company which offers inexpensive products for
home (Phadermrod2019). This analysis helped me in identifying internal and external aspects
that can impact on the viability of project, place or persons. On the basis of SWOT analysis the
personal development plan can be developed that will help me in accomplishing the personal as
well as professional goals and objectives. I used this analysis in determining the own capabilities
and skills along with the weak areas of mine that is required for doing effective research.

3) CV WRITING.
Curriculum Vitae refers to the personal marketing document that is used by an individual
in order to sell themselves to the likely employers. It includes the personal, educational as well as
professional history along with the skill, achievements, abilities etc. The main aspect of CV is

order to write a good CV there is the requirement of correct and right information as it begins
with personal profile or objectives, relevant work experience, key achievements, languages,
awards and so on. The preparation of CV is needed for me in order to inform employer about my
personal informations, skills, interest etc. in order to get an effective interview for a particular
job for which I have applied.

adopt and evolve. As I required several research skills that helped in getting productive results
for my research work such as communication, technical, critical thinking, interviewing, planning,
attentive, scheduling and so on. A good investigation must be open minded and adopt critical
way of thinking which is used for the purpose of inform actions (Willison, 2018). I must required
always high quality of research in order to produce valuable knowledge which is applicable
externally of research.

5) EMAIL WRITING.
Email defined as a method of arranging, sending, sorting as well as receiving messages
over the electric communication system or mode. As email also known as electronic mail that is
mostly preferred for the means of communication as it is cheaper and faster. Email can be formal
and informal as well, an informal mail is written to friends, family members or relatives by using
casual and polite words with the proper greetings as well as closing as per the formats of
informal mails (Tonegawa, 2019). Whereas, formal writing mails should contains proper subject
line, salutation, main body text as well as signature and message must be concise and short in
form. As I took more sessions for developing my email writing skills so that I can able to convey
message in less words and effective manner this will give more success in my future also.
