Assessment of My Professional Needs
My current professional needs include acquiring new competencies and skills that can support my career goals. My short term goal is to get a new job in a challenging environment or organization that can result in personal growth. My long-term goals include completing my MBA and getting a managerial job. These achievements will make it possible for me to empower others and produce quality outcomes.
Current Competencies
I possess the best skills in quality assurance (QA). I have what it takes to coordinate various QA practices in order to improve the level of safety. I am ambitious, analytical, and hardworking. I possess different leadership skills that can support the performance of many firms. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (DBA) with a Concentration in Quality Management (and a Minor in Marketing). I have an International Computer Driving License (ICDL). I also have a diploma in communication and computer networks.
Deficiencies
There are various deficiencies that might affect my professional needs. I strongly believe that more competencies can make it easier for me to achieve various goals. My leadership skills should also be developed further. This is the case because I lack adequate competencies to deal with diverse groups.
