Critical Analysis of Career Vision and Self-Reflection
Learning Outcome 1: Critically examine personal and professional career-related dynamics to inform insight and decision-making
Learning Outcome 2: Identify, interpret, evaluate and synthesise a diversity of evidence and perspectives to develop a critically robust argument
Learning Outcome 3: Effectively communicate knowledge, information and opinion to inform and influence audiences
In this assessment task you will apply the process of critical thinking to identify a vision for your career development. Your vision will then be used to identify the core competencies you have mastered, that will assist you in your career in the short term (next 5 years).
This assignment is comprised of 4 parts. In the first two parts, you will use the "Superstrong" tool to help you identify your personal inventory of capabilities. You will then apply the critical thinking tools and techniques in this unit to analyse this information and produce a "vision for self" in parts 3 of this assignment. Make sure that what you write for your "vision for self" clearly explains how your capabilities will make you competitive in the career path that you have identified. The last part of the assignment will require you to review and critique the critical thinking tools and techniques that you have used in order to create this vision.
