Career Action Plan Based on Personal Analysis
Question
Task: This report is a self-reflection report, which will enable you to identify a career action plan.
You need to:
• Complete a personal analysis of what you have to offer this employer at the moment. This should include your current skills, knowledge and experiences, both academic and from other areas of your life. However, it needs also to identify if there are any areas for development. For example: Where could you do with adding more evidence? What additional skills & experiences do you need to add?
• Once you have answered the above, you are in a position to develop your Career Action Plan. This should show both the short-term and longer-term actions required to prepare you for an opportunity in the area you have researched. Your actions must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time-bound)
• Finally, you also need to prepare a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and LinkedIn profile. You are asked to complete these exactly as your situation is now, as if you were applying for the position you identified. They can then be tailored and adapted for use in other methods of recruitment, for example on-line application forms.

My aim is to master all the aspects where I can resolve all the customer experienced problems through online chat conversation or through voice chat. |

To master the software I am following various sources such as YouTube lectures, many E-journals, and most importantly I have a plan to join an institution for this course. |
After learning the ways to use and provide solutions on a real-time basis it would be comparatively easy for me to serve resolutions to customers. |
Approximately it will take 6 months to accumulate the ways and processes of ‘Chabot’. |
