REFLECTION OF SKILLS
I have current skills which is appropriate for my personal development but this is not
enough in order to enter in the professional world. The professional skills which I required is
good communication skills in order to interact more with the people in the business. I need to
interact more with various business employers as this helps in increasing business connections
which will be helpful for me to increase my current set of skills and the capabilities. For personal
development I can evaluate my own skills on various parameters by comparing my own
performance with external market goals and the objectives. In order to remain competitive I need
to adopt various tools and techniques in improving my own skills. Group discussions will use in
which discussing on a common topic inspire me to present my views and opinions in order to get
self confidence. ( Hoffses, K.W. And et.al., 2016. )

layman language but it is not possible for me to speak fluent English or any other language in
front of employer. Virtual interviews method can be used to reduce my fear and increase my self
confidence I order to talk freely with self confidence with others. In corporate world

skills needs to be improved with the time as this is the basic skill act as a pass to enter event of
business in order to survive their for longer period. Communication skills is not only important
for interacting with other employees at the workplace but it is essential for communicating with
the managers. Whatever problem I face in the organization will easily get resolved by conveying
this with the manager who will further processed my complaints in order to find a solution to all
the problems. ( Mauroux, L. and et.al.,2015. ) The workplace conflicts will easily get resolved by
