A. Profile
As an advocate for honesty, I am needed to be loyal in every operation I undertake.
Regarding the same, I am also rational, logical and persuasive. From the logical aspect, I am a
hard worker and also relentless in a way that is positive in as much as I am a mastermind of
strategies and ideas (CMOE, 2017). Whenever situations of decision making occur, I happen to
be also reliable since I can use linear and nonlinear approaches to base my arguments on. I am,
therefore, more mindful of ensuring that I produce food of high quality as well as ensure that
customer services that I provide are excellent (CMOE, 2017).
I also have the ability to make sound judgments; I am level-headed, process-oriented and
also practice neutrality. Regarding the same, I have the passion of gaining more experience via
learning new things (Flite & Harman, 2013).
Creative builders are always needed to be visionary. Since I regard myself as a creative
builder, I strive to be visionary, happy and also self-driven in my working environment. To
ensure that I make the innovative processes real, I am able to work under pressure in whatever
situation. Work pressures happen to energize me with ideas that are new (Flite & Harman, 2013).
Every individual who is an experienced guide happens to be a good listener. I, therefore,
always strive to put myself in the situation of others. I have excellent communication skills
which enable me get to the bottom of operational information in as many topics as possible.

C. Continuous Professional Development
I am currently undergoing a short course on Hospitality Management. Being a student, I
understand that several Australian companies in the market are likely to favor individuals like me
who have hotel, tour agencies, restaurants and airlines management knowledge. I also attend
workshops at my current location of work to gain the access necessary experience to be a in an
upper-level position within business management (Hoeffer & Murphy, 2010).

PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO 5
In a span of ten years, I would like to envision myself as a SEO of some renown business
firm. I have total conviction that I have an outstanding resource record that would enable me
boost any given company’s level of productivity. My current studies require me to have a good
grasp of financial records of a restaurant. As an hotelier, I am, therefore, needed to meet the
financial goals of the organization that I work for (Shenoy, 2017). Every data or piece of
information that I give within my area of work, need to be truthful, up to date and accurate. Such
is due to the fact that the more complicated such financial data is, the more hectic the economic
analysis phase. The workshops mainly train on understanding tax liabilities, cash flow and
profitability. Every bit of information gained pertaining to finance would help me do personal
tax returns.
D. Critical Reflection
On the basis of the social front, it is the amount of flexibility of my current job that has
posed a lot of challenges. I have to carry on with work for several hours before even thinking of
being with my family. However, I occasionally get chances to be with my family particularly
when my shifts are up. In such a case, having to maintain such a flexible work regime should be
the top priority. It is upon me to; therefore, create a good rapport between me, my friends and my
family. It kind of prepares me to be able to face a situation of starting up my own family with
such kind of a job still by my side; as soon as my academic cycles are over. I am molding myself
into being able to sustain my job and my family concurrently. If I have to get a new job, in any
case, I would go for one that would enable me to tour to different places as much as possible and
still strive to be a good parent; one who is able to raise children in a manner that is holistic
(Putkonen & Kuivalainen, 2013).

PROFESSIONAL PORTFOLIO 6
Learning hospitality management has instilled core values of serving others. It is also the
good feeling and strong attachment associated with provision of whatever customers require that
makes my work very special and of sentimental value. Every bit of time requires me to be tuned
to expectations and needs of customers no matter the work environment. Considering the burden
of service delivery that I have; I, therefore, deliver services far beyond the requirements and
assumptions of customers (tamang, 2013).
