CAREER MANAGEMENT- CDEV 8130 Assignment 1: My Career Profile Student Name:

Rachel Lawrence Rego

Student Number: 8748965

Module 2: Reflection questions In the first module, we reviewed Franklin’s (2014) definition of career: “The full expression of who you are and how you want to be in the world. And it keeps expanding as it naturally goes through cycles of stability and change” (p.456). Now that you’ve had a chance to consider this definition of career, it’s time for you to put some thoughts into your definition of Career and Career Management. What does the word career mean to you? Career to me means: A career entails staying in the same line of employment for an extended period of time. A career might consist of one or several jobs. One might work for a single firm or for several. A "career path" is another term for a career. Education, training, and job experience are all part of a career. It's a mix of reaching a decent degree of financial security while doing something I like, and then discovering that I'm also pleased and content with my life and professional choices. I understand that for anything to truly matter, I must also have inner serenity and joy.

When you think of career management, what comes to mind? What elements to you think will be important to you as you manage your career over your lifetime? Some of the key points that spring to mind when I think of career management are as follows: 1. Maintaining expertise 2. Remaining pertinent 3. Creating a competitive advantage for myself 4. Developing a post-employment security plan

-There are some aspects that must be implemented in order to properly manage one's career. 1. Make career planning a frequent, ongoing, and yearly event. 2. Career planning is not a solitary endeavor; include your family and friends.

3. Consider what you enjoy, detest, require, and desire in your life and job. 4. Consider the aspirations of future generations (your kids) 5. Develop modest professional goals and milestones that can be readily assessed and monitored. 6. Look into additional educational or training possibilities. 7. Leverage and learn from others, particularly the future generation, who are more up to date. Module 3: Strengths, Assets, Personal Qualities, STAR Stories, STAR statements My Strengths (Skills) Using the table, identify at least 7 skills that you think will be most important for your future career, so you can be more prepared when it comes time for resume and cover letter writing. Skill Co-ordination

Where I did it I believe that coordination is one of my skills, and I have had experience at my workplace as well as last semester during group work where I observed two members who had opposing viewpoints while working on a project. In this circumstance, I communicated with both of them at the same time to settle their problems.

Mindfulness

A positive mindset is essential for me since it always enables me to look for possibilities in everything. Trust Trust assists me in developing good relationships with others, and it always provides me with power and a sense of security. Influence I have the capacity to influence others by respecting their ideas and states of mind. This allows me to gain their trust. Organized. To ensure success and meet deadlines, I prefer to complete my work in an orderly manner Helpfulness I always do my best to help others with anything they need. Whether it be emotional support, financial support, employment or education. Negotiation Negotiation is a skill that I believe I inherited from my parents. When I go to marketplaces to buy items or commodities, I generally negotiate the cost of the things. In my working life, I was negotiating with my supervisor about specific concerns that our clients demand from us.

Drawing inspiration from the article 10 rules to post by (Binary Tattoo, 2014), identify 5 to 10 behaviours that will serve as your own personal code of conduct. If none of these rules give you the inspiration you need for a code of conduct, feel free to locate other sources that better suite your needs. Identify 8 behaviors that will serve as your personal code of conduct 1. I will treat people the way I would like to be treated. Regardless of my mood or present life situation, I will commit to acting courteously in my day-to-day encounters with people. It is essential to me that I make a positive influence on the people with whom I come into touch. 2. I will be truthful and open in both my personal and professional life. While I respect my right to privacy, I am committed to complete openness in my work life. I am committed to not withholding knowledge from someone who is entitled to it, but I realize the reality of and anticipate encountering circumstances that look unclear. These scenarios will prompt me to reconsider my values and consider whether concealing knowledge would violate my own code of ethics. 3. I will always give my all, and I will strike a healthy work-life balance . My effort is not always about the outcome, but rather about adhering to my own standards in order to achieve them. When determining how to spend my time and energy, I am committed to prioritize my job and personal life equally. 4. I am committed to always bettering myself. It is critical for me to strive for virtuosity every day. Living by my values, I think, will motivate me to be the ethical person I aspire to be. 5. I will maintain my pledges and follow through on my obligations. This involves pledges to myself, friends, and family, as well as my work life, which merits my dedication to honesty. When my duties to myself, my job, and society clash, I will use my moral compass to evaluate my commitments on a case-bycase basis.

6. I will accept responsibility for any faults or mistakes I make. I shall hold myself responsible for every conduct for which I am ethically responsible. To prevent circumstances in which such acts may be needed, I will strive for as much liberty as possible in my personal and professional lives. Accepting responsibility for whatever hurt I inflict involves making amends for unintended wrongs. 7. I value my life and will be thankful for it every day. I realise my privileges in contrast to those who may be less fortunate, and I will continue to be grateful for my existence while also attempting to better my community via service and contributions wherever feasible. 8. I totally support my fundamental beliefs and will hold myself accountable. I completely accept my worth and hold myself accountable for upholding these principles in my personal and professional lives. I will continue to work hard to improve myself and update my principles as my life progresses, and I am committed to making my family and friends proud of the person I am. I will also assist my loved ones and coworkers on their personal paths of self-improvement. My own code of ethics, which I developed for myself, will assist me in resolving any ethical quandaries that arise. 9. I shall always stand firm in my convictions. To retain others' faith in me and respect for my views, I must maintain and embody my own convictions. It may be tough for me to execute controversial activities since they may not result in the most desirable outcomes, but my decisions will be founded on my own virtues and self-imposed norms rather than fear of repercussions. Behavior Towards Myself    

I will not engage in any drug or cigarette usage. I will never drink alcohol again in my life. I prefer nutritious snacks over processed munchies. I shall not belittle myself for any cause. I'll leave work worries at work and home worries at home.

Behavior Toward Others  

I will be kind to everyone, even if they aren't kind to me. I will take action to assist a person in need if I recognize their need and believe I am capable of improving the situation. I will appreciate other points of view by respecting the other person's position and without pressuring them to embrace mine....
