appropriate in analyzing situation as well as solving issues of others and mine. This I get to know
when I am working in a team and at that time when my team members ask me question related to
project I am not able to provide satisfy suggestion as well as I also not able to analyze situation
properly due to which decision is not taken by me successfully. On the other hand, I am also

analysis of my skill as well as situation related to that which helps me in deciding whether I am
lacking and which skill I need to improve for developing effective as well as successful career.
In addition to this, I also understand that in current time digital technology help every companies
and human in conducting their work in effective manner. Now robots are used at almost every
place in order to conduct physical activities because through technology task are conducted

understanding skills, adaptation of change skills and many more. Moreover, it is essential for a
company to provide proper training in their working hours so that employees adopt technology
properly.

main five strengths are adaptation of change skill, learning and self development skill, achieving
objective skill and working with others (Work skills and employability?, 2020). These all skills
