MAIN BODY
Action plan
Work related goals and some strategies by which I can achieve them-
Before, start setting a goal its very important to set a SMART goal that is specific,
measurable, easily achievable, relevant and the last is time bound. Thus, the goals which I set
that must be SMART which means the goal is specific includes steps need to take to achieve it,
what requirement to be accomplished (Flynn., 2019). Then the goals should be measurable refers
that the making easy to track progress, achievable means the goal is achievable in reality and
goal should be realistic. Relevant means the goal is relevant for the person who set the goal and
time bound that means the objective or goals have time related parameters. My strength and
weakness are as follows-
Strengths Weakness
I am very flexible to handle the change that
keep on occuring at different points of time.
Inability to learn new skills is my biggest
weakness.
The discipline in me has enabled me to achieve
my all the goals on time.
Lack of confidence and self esteen has always
been hudrle while communicating.
Patience is me is my biggest strength. The lack of experience and the knowledge
regarding different things is acting as a barrier
in my career.
On the basis of the strength my goals are learning new skills, improve team communication and
collaboration skills and I want to gain experience in a specific field. So I start working on it,
learning new skill is very important in today's time because technology are change readily so its
very important to adopt new skill which enhance my working style and improve my productivity

which is beneficial for me as well as company (Kononiuka, and et.al., 2020). Such learning skills
also boost personal development. So for achieving this I start free courses and some training
programmes by which learn and develop new skills in me. Because new skills or effective skills
make work life easy and more efficient.
For gaining experience in a specific field create value in the work place that is I want to
become a specialist in a specific field it creates more knowledge in a particular field or core field
which give good impact on my career growth. For this I can do work on project and join
internship and my focus on gaining experience not on the salary as a first priority. It enhances
my CV and build good opportunities. My another goal is to improve communication and
collaboration on team, so I can join brainstorming secession and work in a team, so I learn how
to communicate in a team and work together to achieve a common goal of a company. It also
helps in enhance my productivity at work place. My biggest strength is I am very passionate
towards work and discipline. So whenever I decide to do something then I start quickly and
achieve my goal faster. Weakness is I am not comfortable or not feel confidence in speaking
with other people in a group so by achieving my goal that is communication and collaboration
with team also helps me in converting my weakness to my strength.
CONCLUSION
From the above career action plan, there are some goals which are important for
individual to have which help them to get success in their career. Moreover, this report also
include some strategies to achieve goals and some strength and weaknesses.
