Professional development portfolio Assessment 2

Part A:

1. Identify a job that you would like to apply for after graduating and find a position description for that job (not necessarily with your preferred employer). Attach this position description to your assessment as Appendix.
2. Briefly describe why you would like to apply for this role (approximately 300 words).
3. Select five of the key responsibilities for this position (preferably four technical and one relating to leadership skills) and describe the skills and knowledge required for each responsibility. Then consider the skills and knowledge you have and what evidence you can provide future employers to demonstrate this. For any skills and knowledge that you need to develop further, set a learning goal and timeframe in which you want to achieve the goal. This information may be summarized in a table similar to the one shown below.

4. Consider the following professional attributes, which apply to most positions and workplaces. Rate your ability in each of these areas and provide a brief explanation of your rating. Then give an example from your work experience that supports your rating. Also, list learning goal/s for areas that you believe you need to further develop. This information may be shown in a table similar to the one shown below.
