[pic] Pass 1 – Researching Career Information In this assignment I am going to identify the 6 sources where I can found out information to help me to develop my career. Internet Internet is one of the best sources that could help me because I can find information about career jobs, education and more. Google is useful because when I type a name like International Sales Manager or I am looking for a job it shows me career plans for entrepreneurs, vacancies, what skills experience is needed for the job. From this I can see if it is the job I want to do later or not. Also I can use the internet for other things that relates to my career path such as researching how I can become confident, building interpersonal skills, courses that has to do with business. Kchandel. nl is also useful because it provides for the students information and websites about entrepreneurship, traineeship. Carrieretijger. nl provides information about courses and education and what jobs i can do with my qualification certificate when i finish. www. google. nl www. wikipedia. nl www. carrieretijger. nl www. kchandel. nl Family My family is one of my sources to develop my career. First of all is my mother the first place because she motivates me to do everything, even when I am down and thinking that something is impossible. She gave me advice and say always to think positive about my life and that everything what I want to do is possible. My uncle gave me last year also advice about my education. I did want to choose the Fashion course but he changed my mind. He told me that if I would do business that I would have better career and that I can combine with fashion. Also he told me that if I would go for the Fashion course that it would be a difficultly challenge to become well-known fashion designer. Some friend of my mum did long time IBL and is now working as International Import/Export manager. I see him always once in a year and he tells me always some useful information and he has very good influence on me because when I see him, i am getting motivated to work hard. Magazine Sometimes a magazine can inspire me because there are some interesting life stories. The story goes about marriage, love, career with their solutions. Also some of the magazines are a questionnaire that discovers after you completed what person u are etc. A magazine i can always some tips and tricks about how to be confident, to look good and how to learn better. On a magazine I find pictures of famous people with their life stories such as how they become rich and famous from nothing. How they develop them self to do everything to meet their dreams and what strategy they used. In a magazine i can read lot information’s about how to make money, where to invest in and how i can safe and control it. Cosmopolitan magazine Inc. magazine Money magazine Pass 1 – Researching Career Information Education/teacher The best source to my career path is my school that I am doing now because on a school everyone is there to learn. Learning is a powerful tool in the word because the more you gain knowledge the better you get along in the world. With education I would become wiser and will get later jobs that are paid well. The school prepares me for later, I will get some basis knowledge about the career and gives me qualification and credentials that are essential for to get types of better paying jobs. Also the teachers on school can help me with problems to find solutions for it and to teach me. Even the school gives me the ability how it would be to work in a real company for couple weeks or months. At school I can ask my teacher information about mine weakness and strengths that she has noticed in the class or via the homework. Also I can ask what skills I need and how I can develop it. My SLB teacher will tell me on what subject for example in French to focus and put some more attention to it so I can achieve in that subject and also I can ask her any information that has to do with school as well for later. She can give me e. g. if I am good in mathematics to do accountancy or if I am good in communication to do commercial and this will easy to make choices because I know than where I am good in. Also i can ask my SLB teacher information about qualification, method of learning and little bit about career advice. Books Books are in some cases useful for developing your career path. I have read a while ago a book called Strategic planning. From this book I have seen some tools I can use, how i can plan and to achieve it. Also books can provide information about the business itself. In the class we use a lot of books that has to do with languages, Economic, Mathematics and so on and we can make assessments about it. The BTEC course book gives us a abbreviation of everything that has to do with business and we can use it to make our assignments. Also a normal book can help me to learn new words and to develop my language in Spanish or English. Simplified strategic planning BTEC course books and more.

She told us information about the units and to let us understand where the pass, merit and distinctions stand for. Also what the expectation are from the students and the credit points that we have to get. She couldnt find a traineeship in other coun try so she had to make clean in Spain. From this I have learned that I wont make the same mistake as she did and I will do my best. Now i have understand the criteria pass, merit and distinction I would go work harder to achieve enough points so I can do later in Higher Education International Business and Languages. Ranking of sources: 1. Education/school: because there are teachers to teach me and prepare me for future 2. family: because if I have family who support me i will be motivated to follow my dream 3. Internet could help me in any cases of finding information that i need for school or about myself. 4. Books: at school we use books to make homework and to learn. It is useful for me because I can gain from a book basic knowledge about, in this case business, languages etc. 5. Older students: they can give me information and advice because they have experiences and know more things; this could help me to prevent to make same problems or helps me to do better at school. Pass 2 – Creating a Career Plan For this assignment I will complete a career plan that will identify my development needs. There are many important things in my life where I strive for. Needs: House A house is important for me because without a house I will be homeless and live on the street. First I will rent a beautiful apartment in a flat. I would then have only 1 room for myself. Later when I am pretty sure that I have a job that is paid good than I will go over to buy a house. The house must have 5 big rooms, big front and back garden where I can relax with my family and colleagues and my children. In the back garden I will make space for flowers, car parking and big swim pool. Because I am busy working mother I shall take someone who cleans the house and a chef cook to make food till my children grow. After they become the age 15 then I will fire the chef cooks and let my children cook so they learn cooking. In my house I want 5 rooms because if I have 3 children to give them their own room. The other rooms would one for me and the last a quest room. I have already a budget for my dream house, the budget will me half million. I want to locate my house near the city. My dream house will take place in Miami. Also I will buy houses in other favorite countries, so when I am on holiday that I can stay there and enjoy my holiday in my fresh new house. Food and being healthy Food is the most important thing that every one that has a life need. Without food a person simply dies. Food is needed to stay alive, to be fit and healthy. Food promotes for the growth of our body. In every case is food a good thing for the body and also for other things. For example if I am in the lesson and I cannot concentrate because I havent breakfasted. Food can gives a lot of advantages to me because I will be fit, strong and energy full to work, move, run and staying healthy. Being healthy is also another thing. A person has to eat health food such as fruits and vegetables. We all have to avoid junk food because it is not healthy, can cause diseases and we can become fat. If I eat healthy food I am mostly resistant to become sick and I will be fit. Job and money In my life, is to have a job is most the important thing because without job I do not have money. For everything is money needed like to pay the rent of the house, to buy food, to pay education for my children and much more. Simply a life without money is like living without food and house so to have a job is really necessary because these 2 things belong together. I want to be later a Import/Export Manager because is been always my dream and with my incomes I can be independent from my family or other people. I want later to earn each month â‚ ¬9000 for to pay my bills and to safe â‚ ¬6000 monthly. Also I will not stay later in this country I want to work in United States. I want to work each week 60 hours so I can make monthly enough money. I will give 20% of my saving money to a poverty charity. With the other money I will buy a big house and holiday houses in other countries and spend the education of my children.

While I am learning I will also focusing on my driving lessons and make the real driving test so I can get my driving license. After I have my driving license then I will buy a beginner car in case I make accidents than I do not really bother about the car. About couple years later I want to buy a beautiful car Peugeot 307 cc car. To have a driving license is important because I cannot buy a car without having a driving license. Driving license makes sure that I have learned how to drive and what the rules are. In other hand a car is also important because it is very useful when I want to buy food and I do not live near a market. Also it is easier than to take bus or train everyday in the morning when I am going to school or work. Holiday I think that I always will need to go on a holiday because I want to enjoy in the summer. I need really to go on a holiday because I havent been on a holiday for 2 years. I have tried in the past years to save money so I can go on holiday. I am thinking to in the next summer to go Egypt. I want to spend â‚ ¬500 in shopping, I want to hire for â‚ ¬200 each month for a big house and be there whole summer in Egypt. I will go to the capital city Cairo and visit the pyramids, sphinx and Egyptian museum. It is for me important because I am wondering how Egypt looks like and the story about the pharaoh and pyramids inspire me. To take a holiday would be very important to me because I can take break from everything like from school or work. On a holiday I can relax because later when I am finished with school and are working as import/export manager than I have to work hard and long. Also i will travel to other countries for meetings etc. This work can be stress full because in this position I have to be flexible, efficient, pro-active and much more. Later I am going once a year on holiday than now because I am than busy and I want also to spend most time at work because it is important. When I have holiday I would go to the most beautiful places in the world. Each year I would go to other countries. The countries I prefer to go are: Florida, Miami, China, Costa Rica and Turkey and each time I will be there a month and stay there in hotel and hire a car so I can go easy everywhere and buy there a lot of clothes and jewelers.

Merit 1 – Creating a Career Plan Assess methods of achieving development needs within the timeframe of the career plan. In this assignment I am going to carry out a SWOT analysis for myself because this could help me to fulfilling this assignment. Using the SWOT analysis will help me to outline my strong points that could help me in succeeding and weak points what could prevent from succeeding so need to need to improve. Also the threats and opportunities I might face. The SWOT analysis is a method to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats that are involved in a business or projects. The SWOT analysis has two main categories; internal and external. Strengths and Weaknesses are the internal factors because it is from you and the Treats and Opportunities external because they are influences from outside. This method identifies which are advantages and disadvantages of achieving that objective. This is how a SWOT analysis looks like: [pic] Merit 1 – Creating a Career Plan My SWOT analysis |Strengths |Weaknesses | |I am a social person and am able to talk confidently to a variety of|My weakness is that I do not understand a lot about mathematics | |different people.

I will be focus now on my weaknesses to develop for later. I am likely to succeed my career plan when I look to my opportunities and Strengths because I am doing now an education which gives me basic knowledge of international business, gives me the chance to learn other languages so I can speak to people with other people. When I want to start my business my family and friends could help me. Because I am a social person, communicate well and listen to people I can satisfy my customers which means for later that I will make a good start to get more connections. With my creative thinking I can make good plans, find solutions for my future and now. How I am going to run my business and now how I am finishing my education successful. However there are some weak points that might prevent to succeed. I do not understand a lot of mathematic and this could be a problem for me if I want to set up my business. I have to know what money I have to invest in my business and calculate the revenue, profit etc. If I make a mistake my company will have problems also if I am lazy. To get a job might be difficult nowadays and to be well-know business also because the there are other business who stands higher position now. Pass 3 – Developing Transferable Business Skills For this assignment I am going to carry out a skills audit that identifies skills gap. |Skills |Bad |Average |Good |Explanation | |Teamwork | | |xX |Team working is very important when you work in an organization. When I | | | | | |work in a team I can learn different methods to finish the work. I gain | | | | | |this skill from the projects at school and also I am a social person, so | | | | | |it is easily to work with everyone. I do not need to develop this skill | | | | | |anymore because I do well. | |Patient | |x |X |I am a little bit impatient person. I do not like when something takes so | | | | | |long and it annoys me. I can get frustrated and stressed for example in | | | | | |the lesson when a teacher explains what we have to do, then I want to | | | | | |begin quick with working and not have to wait till everyone questions are | | | | | |answered. I earn this from my family. I do need to develop to become more | | | | | |patience because if I do not change it than problems can arise. I can gain| | | | | |this skill by trying every time to calm down and take yoga will help me I | | | | | |think. | |Creativity | | |xX |I am a very creative person even the teachers and friends say that. I do | | | | | |have always ideas and that brings to make something original and I do not | | | | | |have to think a lot about it and I work hard to make to make a nice | | | | | |result. With creativity I think I am a perfectionist because I will work | | | | | |hard till I get my done. I won in the primary school a lot of challenges | | | | | |that has to do with being creativity. I am born with this skill so I do | | | | | |not need to develop for later. | |Listening skills | |xX | |I am a good listener because I listen to everyone when we have to discuss | | | | | |about a specific subject. I listen to people so if there is a problem so I| | | | | |can solve it or to help that person by listen carefully. In the class I do| | | | | |2 things together like listen to the teacher and making my work at the | | | | | |same time. Only there is 1 problem when I have a listening test in the | | | | | |class I cannot concentrate because I am focusing on one thing. I do not | | | | | |think that later problem could arise in meetings I can look the person so | | | | | |that goes easy. I do not have to improve this skill for later if I am a | | | | | |manager because everything will go through the secretaries. | |Social skills | | |xX |I am a very social person; I can work with everyone easily. I am | | | | | |respectful to everyone and also polite. I like to help people very much | | | | | |when they have a problem like they have not finished their assignment than| | | | | |I let them show my work so they have an idea to finish the work before the| | | | | |deadline. Personally I don’t think that I have to improve on this skill | | | | | |because too social can bring problems, because I would than think about | | | | | |other people than about myself. Later when I am working I have to be hard | | | | | |against rival companies than being social. |Motivation | | |xX |I think that I am very motivated person. I really want to finish this | | | | | |education successful. I do get 2 diploma’s for IBS and that what my | | | | | |short-term goal is. I am finishing all my assignments on time so I can get| | | | | |feedback on it so I can improve on my work. I gain this skill last year | | | | | |because I saw how important for me was when I heard that cannot go the | | | | | |level 4 MBO. It gave me a lot of motivation now and I realize that I have | | | | | |to work hard before I can become a business manager. | |Organization | |x | |I am not very in good in planning and organization. But at this time I am | |/planning skills | | |X |not behind the schedule and working forward. These skills are essential | | | | | |because if I want to achieve my goal- they help keep focusing on doing the| | | | | |right tasks. Now I am doing IBS, it is very important to organize and plan| | | | | |my work so I can finish on time. I think that I have to improve more on | | | | | |this skill by take a course because in this context is being patience | | | | | |important. Later these skills could give me a benefit because I have the | | | | | |ability to manage and to work efficiency and reduce all the stress. |Leadership | |x |X |I don’t know if I have this skill because I do not place every time myself| | | | | |in the leadership position. | | | | | |I only do this when nobody wants to take it. I will take only the | | | | | |leadership when I am working in a group and want to make sure that | | | | | |everything is doing well. When I see that my group isn’t taking serious | | | | | |then I will feel responsible for the whole project and work hard to finish| | | | | |it. I can improve this skill by practicing and taking the leadership | | | | | |position in a group. It is important for later because a leadership has a | | | | | lot of responsibility like being the ownership, being delegated, | | | | | |organized, great listener and communicate effectively. If I do not this | | | | | |point I will not motivate my employees and do not take me serious or see | | | | | |me as a leader. |Self-confidence |x | |X |I am not very confident person because sometimes I feel insecure when I | | | | | |have give presentation in front of a group people. I get then very | | | | | |nervous, my body shakes, speak to fast and don’t make an eye contact. | | | | | |Sometimes I hide my nerves by smiling and laughing. I have to improve on | | | | | |this skills and the best way is to relax, doing more exercise like fitness| | | | | |and eating health food. This skill is important. | | | | | |For now and later because is the basic for successful living. Being | | | | | |confident help me to attain any goal and maximize my satisfaction in my | | | | | |life. |Problem solving | | | |I think I am a good problem solver because if there arise a problem. I am | | | | |xX |always the person who comes up with solutions. I am a good thinker and can| | | | | |make good ideas. I don’t think that I have to improve in this skill | | | | | |because I am on the right level. | | | | |Later this skill I would need definitely because a company has always to | | | | | |face with difficulties and problems. | |Work alone | | |xX |I am more likely to work on my own because I won’t be distracted by other | | | | | |people. I like to work independency because I can focus on my work and | | | | | |finish on t ime and it is the best way to learn. If I work with other | | | | | |person, the work is easily to finish because we have both ideas and done | | | | | |the work and I won’t learn anything. I do not need to improve on this | | | | | |skill because I am independent person. | |Stress managment | |x | |I can be very stressful when I am in an unwanted situation. I can deal | | | | |X |with this if I stay calm down then I can manage my stress. I am to all the| | | | | |time something to distract me like fitness or working on my assignment | | | | | |because if I sit down I would not do anything else than stressing. I think| | | | | |that I have to improve on this skill to become stress resistant. |Languages | |x |X |I can speak different languages like Dutch, Engels, basic French. Also I | | | | | |can speak my own language Somalis very influently like English and Dutch. | | | | | |I think I need to develop some languages like French, Spanish because it | | | | | |gives me for now and later the advantages. If I learn all these languages | | | | | |than I can do on HBO International Business Languages and when I am | | | | | |working I can work later in other countries. | |Communication | |x |X |To communicate is the most important thing in my life as well for | | | | | |everyone. It is necessary that I can communicate ith other person because| | | | | |if I will not do that then problems could arise like misunderstanding. I | | | | | |think that good I am in communication because I can talk easily and clear | | | | | |with other person. But I think that I have improve in this skill by | | | | | |practicing every single day in the class or outside with other people. | | | | |This skill is also important for later and know because it will strength | | | | | |my relationships, minimize the risk of misunderstandings and improve my | | | | | |self-confidence. | |Taking risks |x | |X |I am very bad in taking risks, because I am afraid that things would go | | | | | |wrong or waist my invest ed money. I did once take a risk and that was by | | | | | |doing the same class in the high school and then I left school without | | | | | |high school certificate. But now I am doing the same level MBO as my class| | | | | |mates from the high school. I realized that taking risks advantages are | | | | | |because I was thinking it is impossible to do MBO level 4 and now I am | | | | | |doing it. I think I do need to develop the skill by taking more risks | | | | | |because later the company will need to take sometimes risks to become | | | | | |higher or making profits by investing in something. Pass 4 – SMART Targets I am going to set goals and objectives for my career using the SMART method. Short – term Achieve merit criteria: I can meet this criterion if I finish for this year every assignment including all the passes and the merits. Before I can make the merit assignment I have to pass for the pass criteria. I have to finish all the assignment and give the teacher on the first date so I can improve for it. After I have to give all my work before the final date or deadline which means that can get the merit certificate. I already made the first merit assignment and it will not be hard because if I spend enough hours on my homework, then I can finish on time. Every day I will spend 3 hours on doing my assignment in the library. This plan is realistic because my teacher can help me if I have questions about the assignment. Part-time job: I want to get a part-time job within a month by looking advertisement on newspaper and internet where they are looking for employees. I will make an application letter and fill in an application form.

This plan is realistic because if I get high grades and follow all lessons and also get my IBS diploma that I am doing now, then it is really possible that I can go further with these goals. The HBO and Master course in the university will take together 5 years. Pass 4 – SMART Targets A Job: Besides studying International Business and Languages, I want to have a part-time job directed to whole sale the Vestiging Manager position.

At the most skills I did gained at school for example working with Microsoft Words, Excel by following lessons in the class. Also we make all our assignment at MS Words that is how I gained this skill. Also I had learned the most languages at school by making homework and assessments in that language. In my other skills that are shown above (the most) is my own skill that I did not gained from someone. I did gained the presentation skills in the class when I had to give a presentation in a specific subject Pass 5 – Demonstrate transferrable business skills In this assignment I will describe in which areas I apply these skills and in what way. Team working: is very important when you work in an organization. When I work in a team I can learn different methods to finish the work. I gain this skill from the projects at school and also I am a social person, so it is easily to work with everyone. Also I gained this skill not only from myself but in the class when we have to make a presentation or project together. We are then with more than 2 people and have to make plans. We have to discuss and listen to each ours ideas and opinions and work together to finish our work. Patient: I am a little bit impatient person. I do not like when something takes so long and or wait for someone. I can get frustrated and stressed for example in the lesson when a teacher explains what we have to do, then I want to begin quick with working and not have to wait till everyone questions are answered. Or when I am waiting for someone and is too late for the appointment then I get really mad. I do not get this gained from my family but my impatiently occurs what I have said above and because of this I get impatient. Creativity: I am a very creative person even the teachers and friends say that. I do have always ideas and that brings to make something original and I do not have to think a lot about it and I work hard to make to make a nice result. With creativity I think I am a perfectionist because I will work hard till I get my done. I won in the primary school a lot of challenges that has to do with being creativity. I am born with this skill because when I was very young I could always make something creative e. g. for Santa-Clause. I did made a Fish made from a strong-dried balloon wit glue, newspaper and paint and also and with a stick like you catch a fish. Listening skill: I am a good listener because I listen to everyone when we have to discuss about a specific subject. I listen to people so if there is a problem so I can solve it or to help that person by listen carefully. In the class I do 2 things together like listen to the teacher and making my work at the same time. Only there is 1 problem when I have a listening test in the class I cannot concentrate because I am focusing on one thing. I gain this skill by from the teachers from the primary school. They always learned us when someone is talking that we have to shut our mouth and listen what we have to do in the class or what the homework is. So that we won’t ask the same questions that she already has answered. Also I gained this skill when I was working in a team that I have to listen to someone other ideas or discuss. Social skill I am a very social person; I can work with everyone easily. I am respectful to everyone and also polite. I like to help people very much when they have a problem like they have not finished their assignment than I let them show my work so they have an idea to finish the work before the deadline. Personally I don’t think that I have gained this skill from my family even they are social. I am mostly social person and in any cases and it goes easily without trying be social person. I think it is nature of me being a social person. Motivation: I think that I am very motivated person. I really want to finish this education successful. I do get 2 diploma’s for IBS and that what my short-term goal is. I am finishing all my assignments on time so I can get feedback on it so I can improve on my work. I gain this skill last year because I saw how important for me was when I heard that cannot go the level 4 MBO. It gave me a lot of motivation now and I realize that I have to work hard before I can become a business manager. I like also to come to school and make homework and cannot imagine my life without school and if I want something I will get it. Pass 5 – Demonstrate transferrable business skills Planning/organizing: I am not very in good in planning and organization. But at this time I am not behind the schedule and working forward. These skills are essential because if I want to achieve my goal- they help keep focusing on doing the right tasks. Now I am doing IBS, it is very important to organize and plan my work so I can finish on time. Later these skills could give me a benefit because I have the ability to manage and to work efficiency and reduce all the stress. I gained this skill from school because without planning and organizing I cannot finish my work and it is obligated and necessary. Also with I have learned planning and organizing when I am busy with a project in a team. Leadership: I don’t know if I have this skill because I do not place every time myself in the leadership position. I only do this when nobody wants to take it. I will take only the leadership when I am working in a group and want to make sure that everything is doing well. When I see that my group isn’t taking serious then I will feel responsible for the whole project and work hard to finish it. I can gain this skill only when I am working in a team. Or the teacher chose me as the leadership or if I do see that no one is doing something. I talk to them and say to them that their way of working not it is working and that they have to do on my way. I check everything before handing the project. Self-confident: I am not very confident person because sometimes I feel insecure when I have give presentation in front of a group people. I get then very nervous, my body shakes, speak to fast and don’t make an eye contact. Sometimes I hide my nerves by smiling and laughing. I did gain this low self confidence because some of my family where saying many times that I was too fat and I am believe that now because I am not critic to myself. Also by presentation, in the past people were saying that giving a presentation in front of a class really difficult. From that time I have a fear for giving presentation. Problem solving: I think I am a good problem solver because if there arise a problem. I am always the person who comes up with solutions. I am a good thinker and can make good ideas. Later this skill I would need definitely because a company has always to face with difficulties and problems. I gained this skill in the class and from family. My mother is also a good problem solver, she find for every kind a problem a solution. At school we have always to brainstorm for example by the Economic lesson. We had to find solutions about different companies who had a problem. Work alone: I am more likely to work on my own because I won’t be distracted by other people. I like to work independency because I can focus on my work and finish on time and it is the best way to learn. If I work with other person, the work is easily to finish because we have both ideas and done the work and I won’t learn anything. I also do like to work alone because when I am working with other people, I have then to listen what the team leader order us to do it and I like to do on my own way. I think that I did gain this skill from the irritating teamwork Stress Management: I can be very stressful when I am in an unwanted situation. I can deal with this if I stay calm down then I can manage my stress. I do all the time something to distract me like fitness or working on my assignment because if I sit down I would not do anything else than stressing. I think that I have to improve on this skill to become stress resistant. I did gain this skill being stress resistant by calming down when I am in an unwanted situation. I have also made a research on Google about how to reduce stress and try to follow. Pass 5 – Demonstrate transferrable business skills Languages: I can speak different languages like Dutch, Engels, basic French. Also I can speak my own language Somalis very influently like English and Dutch. I think I need to develop some languages like French, Spanish because it gives me for now and later the advantages. If I learn all these languages than I can do on HBO International Business Languages and when I am working I can work later in other countries. Also I had learned the most languages at school by making homework, assessments in that language and also with my friends and watching TV. Speaking Somalis I did learned that just at home talking with my mum and brother. Communication: To communicate is the most important thing in my life as well for everyone. It is necessary that I can communicate with other person because if I will not do that then problems could arise like misunderstanding. I think that good I am in communication because I can talk easily and clear with other person. I gain this skill when I went to grow up from a baby to a toddler. I have also learned to communicate when there are meetings or social network. At the class I have develop a lot with my communication because when I am at school I talk a lot and that makes for me easier every times to talk with someone and understand each other by non-verbal and verbal communication. Taking risks: I am very bad in taking risks, because I am afraid that things would go wrong or waist my invested money. I did once take a risk and that was by doing the same class in the high school and then I left school without high school certificate. But now I am doing the same level MBO as my class mates from the high school. I realized that taking risks advantages are because I was thinking it is impossible to do MBO level 4 and now I am doing it. I did took this skill a little bit because sometimes I am so scared that something won’t work out and I try to take a risks but this cause also too much stress. I gain this skill when something what I did is failed and I want really that it won’t fail, that is the moments when I take risks. M2 – Monitor and audit progress towards targets using appropriate success criteria Driving licence: I want to get my driving licence within a year by taking a course.

Fonetisch lezen   I am going to describe how I will develop this missing skills and why I will develop this. Taking risks: I am very bad in taking risks. I will develop this skill by taking every time a risk. I can use the internet for steps to take risks. I will ask when myself question if I stuck in a solving problem or I want to see more growth in the invested business. For example what is keeping me from solving the problem etc. after that I have to brainstorm and look for alternative. The other step is to be optimistic because when believe in myself everything goes right. This is how I will develop this skill and looking information on the internet, buy a book and make a handling irrational beliefs model in tools for personal growth. I want to develop this skill because this way is to succeed in a person live. Also is important that I have to undertake a huge amount of risk when I am starting my own business. If the risk I took become successful than I will be happy and the company will growth and if not than I could be wiser to do next time with better techniques. I can explain an evidence that could show the development of the lacking skill by invest my saved money in a brand new business that is set up by a friend of my. They are producing new kind a product and want to see if it will become popular in the Netherland. I am taking the risk by put all my saving money in that business and wait what will happen in the near future. Stress management: I can be very stressful when I am in an unwanted situation. I can deal with this if I stay calm down then I can manage my stress. I am to all the time something to distract me like fitness or working on my assignment because if I sit down I would not do anything else than stressing. I can blow it off by deep breathing and then I feel my stress reduced. I can do this 2-4 deep breathes several times a day, so that I become more relaxed. Also when I have stress and I want to manage that I take progressive relaxation. Also using a stress ball can keep me out stressed. Manage my stress is important for later because if I would stress all the time. I cannot make the right decision, work quickly and have done my work. When I am working later in a business I want to control my emotions. This skill could help me later that I am calm in every situation bad or not and I can work efficiently. I can explain evidence that could show the development of the lacking skill by making my assignment for the first date on that day. I will then begin with the assignment a couple hours before the first date what I am doing now. I am just making now my assignment at 10 o’clock and I have to give this assignment later on this day at 15:00 o’clock. I am doing relaxed my homework without thinking all the time ‘oh no I cannot finish this on time’. M3 – Asses ways of achieving the level and types of transferable business skills. Fonetisch lezen Self-confidence: I am not very confident person because sometimes I feel insecure when I have give presentation in front of a group people. I get then very nervous, my body shakes, speak to fast and don’t make an eye contact. In this case I am going to laugh when I try to hide my nervous. I can develop this skill by doing more things like fitness so I feel secure about my body. Eating health food and relax and don’t think to critic about myself. Self confidence is important because if I come in a room I can change all the attitudes everyone in that room. A manager must have self confidence because that attracts more friends, consumers but commands respect too. Self confidence is the basis of someone’s live. Lacking of self confidence will slow down the steps and prevent someone from taking initiative. I can explain evidence that could show the development of the lacking skill by giving a presentation to a whole group of people that are enthusiastic to listen to my. The more I give presentation to person, the more my fear will be gone in develop more confidence. Patient: I am a little bit impatient person. I do not like when something takes so long and it annoys me. I can get frustrated and stressed for example if I am waiting for someone and it takes too long.

I will just distract myself like get a piece of paper and write down when I feel rushed and the sense of impatience. Every time when I feel the sense of impatience occurs to write down for couple weeks. I want to develop this skill because later when I am working in a business or have a child, I need to be patient. If I do not develop this skill than I could be really quick annoyed or being mad. Being patient helps me preventing having stressed and getting high pressure. I can explain evidence that could show the development of the lacking skill by make a bet and I win the challenge and the price is to win a lot of money. By this I cannot wait directly to win and get the money. I will try then to say to that person just give me that money when you have enough money and not now. I show in this case patiently. 1. zelfstandig naamwoord 1. reach 2. scope 3. grasp 4. compass 5. shot
