Areas for improvement and provide an action plan for improving these skills and attributes.




In my opinion skills are the ability that an individual bears which makes him to perform the task or job related to his skills. Like, if a person has good communication skills then he will surely perform communication activities most of the time. Ones develop skills naturally and from the experiences.

Well, talking about my skills, I have good communication skills, I work well either leading or being part of a team and I am self-motivated and capable of working on several tasks at once. I do have leader skills which includes being able to clearly and specifically communicate vision, goals, skills, and expectations. I involve in the decisions making so that my other member  feel that I am involved in team work and ensure the opportunity to contribute to face the tasks. I do listen to what other people are consciously or unconsciously communicating. I motivate others for better performance. My motivational skills will help to improve activeness in group work, increase the vitality of group projects, and move forward toward achieving goals and objectives of my team.


Though I have these skills but I still want to improve my communication skills, leadership skills and motivational skills more effectively than before which will help to for job opportunities in  coming future. My action plan for the improvement of these skills will be like improving my verbal, nonverbal (writing skills), and listening skills. I will enhance my presenting skills for my group and individual presentation. As a group member, I will enhance my activeness in collecting and managing the information, planning and organizing and making effective decisions as required.  I will actively seek to motivate members of my team for their own careers sake but also for the future. This means I also look for my personal development opportunities to ensure my skills are kept up to date.

Skills, Attributes and Employment Development



   Skills, Attributes and Employment Development

It has already been one month that I joined Islington college for my bachelor studies. As you know I have selected computing module for Bachelor studies. There are four sub modules under this module which I have to learn. They are i) Study Skills for Computing, ii) Logic, iii) Problem Solving for IT and iv) Introduction to Programming.
Well, I have been learning is Study Skills for computing. For me it is an interesting module. This subject will help me in better English preparation, communicating in writing, giving effective presentations, being a good team member and developing my confidence in presentation and other technical skills.
The second module that I have been learning is Logic. It is an intellectual module. This module is related to mathematical problems like logical questions, relation, justifying proofs about mathematical objects, such as integers, complex numbers, and infinite sets. As we know, logic is required in every sector. I hope this module will help in creative thinking, to be able to solve the problems of hardware and software designs which are difficult to be solved.
Now the third I have been learning is Problem solving for IT. Well, it is quite challenging subject to me. We need very creative thinking to solve any problems. It is also an one kind art of solving  problems. I want to have the ability to become a great problem solver related to software development and programming.
The last module is Introduction to Programming. This module is very complex and tough than other modules but it is very important for my career. It is also a very challenging subject. This module will help to develop new software programs. As I am from management background, this module will help in developing software related to accounting .
Thus, these are the module which I have been learning which will help in my career development.
