...school, everyone wants to choose a suitable job for their future. Some people want to have a job which has a high salary while the others want to choose a job which is famous. I myself want to be a teacher because of the following reasons. Firstly, teaching is a stable job. As a teacher, I will get the same salary in every month though it is not very high. Therefore my life will not be affected by the change of economy. Secondly, teaching is the job which can be respected by everybody. No matter how famous a person has become, he will never ignore his teacher. Besides, whenever a teacher makes a decision to do something, he has to think that he is a teacher, so he cannot do the thing that is illegal or immoral. Moreover, I choose teaching because I love children. I want to help them learn what they do not know. I still remember when I was a pupil at elementary school, I tried to be a teacher, I taught the children in my neighborhood to learn and write the first letters. At that time, I thought I were really a teacher. Up to now, I have never thought I will not do anything but a teacher. Finally, I choose teaching because both my father and my mother are teachers. They have devoted all their life to this career. And they want me to follow their job. In conclusion, being a teacher, I shall have a stable life, be respected, fulfill my childhood’s dream and follow my parents’ step. Hope that I will be a good teacher in my...

...Being an effective leader in my future career Introduction Leadership is becoming more and more important in today’s increasingly globalized and complex world. As an accounting majored student, I may lead my own accounting team in the future, and thus leadership competency will play a significant role in my career. According to the textbook, there are four major categories that may affect leadership competency, namely intrapersonal, interpersonal, leadership, and business skills. As a potential leader of my future career, I think the area that I need to improve falls into the area of interpersonal skills, especially when it comes to communicating with others. According to Flauto (1999), communication competence of the supervisor is a precondition for a leadership effectiveness. Good communication among team members makes it easier for people to understand and achieve the common goal. That is one of the reasons why I want to improve my communication competency. In addition, my feeling tells me that a good communication with people can bring me more friends and opportunities. Weakness As mentioned above, one of the biggest weaknesses that may prevent me from achieving leadership effectiveness is that I can’t communicate with others well. Communication competency includes many aspects, for example, language proficiency and appropriate way to express. For me, I am afraid to open my mouth and easy to get nervous when talking to people. I feel anxious when I...

These methods will be based on my weaknesses and how I will be able to overcome them so my future plans can become more successful. I will also be comparing my career plan with my skills audit to see how they both perform in my future. Gaps in my skills For me to become a solicitor in the future I need to get into University with 300 ucas points. In order for me to get 300 ucas points I need to work very hard in college and try to achieve a distinction for this year to get into university quicker. The skills gaps that need to be obtained to help me are the ones which I am currently studying which are Business Level 3 B-Tec and also GCSE English level 2. I need these skills to enter University because they are required for the course I will be doing. GCSE English level 2 is a gap for me because I had previously gotten a grade lower in this subject and this can affect my future career plans if I do not change it. The way I will change this is by taking the English GCSE level 2 classes provided by college. I will have to retake the exams and work very hard to achieve the grade I want to get into university. It is important for me to identify my skills gap because if I do not then this can lead to a bad effect in my future career. For example if I do not move my GCSE English result to a grade c then the university...

With an economy recovering from recession and jobs scarce, those seeking employment are now realizing the value of a college education.
