3. Based on your ratings in the post-experience skills self-assessment above, select three employability skills you find challenging and complete the following activity
List the three (3) skills you are LEAST confident in demonstrating
Explain why you selected each skill as a weakness
Describe what you could do to improve or further develop this area.
4. Based on your responses to the skills self-assessment activities:(words 160)
Identify three employability skills you will choose to develop further and explain why.
You can choose to:???????
Advance your strengths. Demonstrate your skill knowledge and be specific about which aspect of the skill you want to work on and why. (For example, if you choose communication skills narrow down what you will specifically work on. Will it be writing – creative or academic? Will it be presentation skills – will you work on harnessing your nerves or developing the format for pitching ideas?
Work on developing the more challenging skills you are less confident in demonstrating??????
???????Or do a little of both.?
????????????????????????In crafting your response: Reflect on the field you aim to work in and, your current skill capabilities. Comment on how your proposed skill development addresses at least one of the major challenges you are likely to face in the world of work (i.e. 4IR, casualisation, automation, alienation).
5. Outline the specific actions and milestones you will undertake to further develop your skills. This development may be through a combination of activities and learning experiences, including formal and informal modes of study and learning.(words 110)
Be specific about the career learning experiences you plan to do and relate them to the skills you want to develop (i.e., if it is an online course – research the actual course you will do and provide the name and platform (URL or web address). If it is a volunteer gig – name the organisation you plan to approach). Relate your choices to your skill capacity, your industry, and any changes occurring in the future world of work.
6. Choose one of the employability skills you have nominated above to develop through a specific career learning experience (above). Then, produce a SMART goal you can map as the ‘next step’ toward your advanced employability skill learning.(words 110)
See Glossary of Terms for SMART goal definition and SMART goal infographic to help shape your response. Provide any relevant links (URLs) to organisations or courses.

It is also important to draw on information and seek guidance from members of your professional network. In crafting your response, please identify at least one source of objective feedback (a potential mentor) from an industry expert or professional from outside the personal network of your family.
