Bridging Unit TASK One: Career Plan Career aspirations In the near future I would like to work in primary education. I originally wanted to go into secondary education with a qualification in Religion and Theology, however over the course of my first year in A Levels I realised that I had chosen the wrong subjects and this could be seen in the results that I got. I still wanted to work with children so I decided to go into Primary education. I had thought about two different ways into how I could approach my future ambitions, they are as the following, the first route was to complete my education go to university and complete a degree in Primary education, and my second route was to quite education and go into an apprenticeships, …show more content…
Personally I believe that I am organised, I always carry round a diary, where I note down important dates and deadlines, and therefore allowing me to manage my time more efficiently. Another strength that I have is that I know how to operate a computer and I know how to use a computer effectively, at GCSE I got a B in my exam in Information and Technology, therefore giving me an advantage compared to someone who do not know how to use the computer. I also believe that I am confident, and that I have courage and the ability to speak to new people and adapt myself to a new environment without feeling uncomfortable. As well as that, I am also able to work in a group, where I can listen to my members in my group as well as voice my own opinion. Although I have many strengths, I equally have my weaknesses. One of my major weaknesses is that my revision techniques aren’t as strong as it needs to be, by this I mean that I have the material which is required for the revision, however I do not know how to revise effectively. Although I can speak in public without fear, or voice my opinion without having any difficulties, I am unstable when it comes to writing, I have the basic grammar but because I only moved into England half way through year 4, I
The career that I have chosen to pursue is Human Resources Management. When I started out on the path of “what I want to be when I grow up” I started in a completely different line of work. I wanted to be a Nurse when I graduated high school. I enrolled in college and I worked at a children’s hospital. After a while I started getting burned out by working long hours and on the weekend and I started to wonder if this was the right career that I wanted to continue with. I was offered a position at a staffing company that tailored to physicians and nurses and I
My Assessment identify my strength as being an independent person who likes to access and figure things out for myself. I am able to learn at my own pace. I am self-sufficient. I am capable of completing a research project independently. I am able to function in an environment with mild noise. I have good study habits and capable of retaining information from studying.
While I believe all of these strengths work well together and I am proud to be recognized for them, this one is probably the most meaningful to me on a more personal, but still professional level. I work hard on the relationships I forge and am extremely loyal to a fault. I have the ability to step outside of a situation and see things from another person’s viewpoint. In business, this is a great attribute when dealing with irate customers. I build my clientele based on my abilities to help and relate to the customer. I always treat customers personably, which seems rare in a world full of automated systems and self-service. Good customer relatability will never go out of

An example of an assessment that I completed to identify my strengths was the Strengths Based Leadership assessment created by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie (2008). As shown in Table 1, my five strengths, according to the Strengths Based Leadership Report, are restorative, includer, achiever, woo and positivity. Restorative is a strength that was defined on the report as making newcomers feel welcomed (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 3). This strength also included attempting to enhance my performance and efficiency (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 3). People with this strength also tend to gravity towards others who are honest and give constructive criticism (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 3). This strength manifests in my work and life through speaking with newcomers and consistently asking my
Another skill that was a strength for me was handling my responsibilities. I answered this skill as being able to perform this extremely well. I responded this way because one of my positive attributes is that I am very accountable for everything that I have to handle in life. I feel that I fulfill my responsibilities as a student, daughter, athlete, employee, and godparent to the best of my ability, while taking into consideration that I have to balance
I am exceptional at providing support to people in need, especially to military personnel and their families. I prevail in the world of communication and networking, especially when things need a quick response. I can easily adapt to varying situations and places; there are a lot of situations in the workplace that require people to fix in an orderly and quick fashion. I learned the skills to handle that from previous jobs in my past.
I also felt that I could do any type of role needed for the team. I am not restricted on just doing one role or task, but many roles and tasks. I feel I am a great team member because I try to do my best to inspire myself and motivate others. I try to handle conflicts within a team. I try to be open minded regarding opinions and suggestions. I try to get everyone involved including the quite ones without intimidation. I feel I am also very good at organization, which I feel is very need when working in teams.
Two areas where I believe I am personally strong are, I can accept self responsibility, since I was a young man I was thought that I am the victim of my own action or inaction as it where, it is a value I learned from my parents. Also life long learning is something I am a firm believer in, I stay open minded at all times and I'm not afraid to change my position on a subject if facts support it. I fact the very nature of my work requires it, when projects are thrown at you one after the other, you must adapt your abilities to each one, it also helps with troubleshooting an issue, I have the ability to step back and tackle problem from different angle.
Strengths that I have are that I am hardworking and I will focus my time and effort on a task to make sure I succeed. When it comes to work or school I enjoy and am good at organizing and cleaning. This makes it so I can work efficiently and also be responsible in keeping track of things like money. On the other hand, I am an extremely indecisive person and this leads to me staying in the middle of most arguments or debates. This also means I can take forever to make a decision. Additionally, I can get distracted easily when I am doing something I do not exactly care about or am not interested in.
My Strengths- I am a very kind person to all. I love helping people out with anything. Unlike a lot of people I respond to questions as soon as I possibly can. I am a very welcoming person.
Strengths I have, emotional intelligence, clear vision, and inspirational. I work in a fast paced stressful environment, knowing your own emotions are very important. I feel like I stay calm and collected when under pressure. People find it easy to talk to me and open up. By being able to pick up others emotional cues I provide a comfort level and gain their trust. It’s important you trust your leader and feel comfortable going to them. “People with higher EI are likely to have a natural advantage while handling interpersonal relationships as they can read body language of others in a more precise manner.” (Dabke, D. 2016).
My strengths include being able to include people in a group and ask for their opinion. This was developed by realizing that not being listened to is something that frustrates me while working in a team, and I don’t want people to ever feel that way if I can help it. Another forte I have is being humble enough to follow someone else’s plan or method if I feel it would work better than my own. I figure if it is better for the final outcome, why would I not follow the better plan. It is especially important for leaders to be able to take their ego out of their decision making process, and I think I do that
A strength that helps me in a group environment would that I am very organized. For example, when doing projects, I usually make lists for myself, as well as the groups. Making lists for everyone can make
Strengths, previously defined were listed excellent organizer, strong-willed, and direct and honest. My past work/life experience provided me the opportunity to make a plan, commit and complete in organizing my day to day in work and
