Action Planning

In today’s competitive world, getting a highly paid and reputed job is becoming much more challenging. In that scenario, having knowledge in a limited scope is not enough to fulfill the dream we have at all. Even in USA, “half of the new graduates are jobless or underemployed” (USA Today, 2012) let alone be the cases in other countries. It clearly tells us that just having a good educational qualification is not enough to earn us a good job.

Being a bachelor’s level student, I have to take the above mentioned figure seriously. I definitely don’t want to end up being unemployed. For that, I need to start working to improve my skills. One of the most important skills to start with, is personal development skill. No matter how much knowledge I have, it’s no use unless I am able to present it well for which I have to upgrade my English and develop self-confidence. Talking about other soft skills, leadership skills must also be taken into account. Also, being a BSc.IT Computing student, I need to improve my programming skills as well. I need to be able to understand the logic inside any program, tackle the hurdles properly and also come up with better logic.

In order to improve personal development skill, first of all, I need to practice speaking, be it in front of a mirror or by giving presentations. That will help me to boost my self-confidence and my English. I also need to start getting more involved in group works and volunteer to become group leader in order to sharpen my leadership skills. Likewise, to improve programming skills, I need to push the limit and learn new things through internet and other sources.

So, if I work on these skills, I will definitely be able to achieve success in the future. I need to start working from right now. I need to believe in myself and never lose hope.
