The Personal and Professional Development Report (Wordcount 3,000)

 

Using the SOAR and MAP guidelines you are asked to write a report outlining your journey over the last year. This is a reflective report where you can discuss both your strengths and weaknesses and how you will build on these or address them.

 

Using SOAR principles( Self Awareness, Opportunity Awareness, Aspirations and Results), reflect on the knowledge and skills you have acquired and how they match the needs of a Manager working in an international business environment. You should also refer to specific units you have taken over the last year and how they will relate to the sector in which you want to work.

 

With MAP (motivation, ability, personality) identify your personal ‘U.S.Ps’(your story – what is unique about you) and how this aligns itself with your identified career trajectory.

 

Add information about further education/ training/ opportunities you may be planning or feel desirable to meet your objectives.

 

Guidelines:

Although this is a reflective report you will still need to support your ideas with expert opinion i.e.reference to websites, books, articles or journals you have used in class or through your independent research.
