Eighth Entry

Passing Computing Level 3

This is obviously going to be an ongoing aim but in order to pass computing with a successful grade in order to ensure me a job position in the future i must complete all unit by given hand in date, Attend 100% of the time this is because then i do not miss any vital information or lessons that require me to learn something so i can complete a unit / piece of work.

I must be able to create and improve business letter / CV's in order to complete my CV and be able to get a job in the future my CV must look professional and well made i can do this by following a simple template but filling it in with my details this also requires remembering things such as to include my contact details such as a phone number, email, secondary contact number and a full name to be referred to when the company call me on business letters this is usually done via a signature and included into every email and letter that i would write. This requires me to be able to create a signature and know what one is.

Fith Entry

Confidence in Speaking in Front of Others.

In order to achieve my personal development plan i must be able to talk in front of others with confidence otherwise talking to a boss with no confidence makes me look rather unprofessional and not fit for a job this barrier to communication will also prevent me from being able to talk to customer making the company lose sale and most likely reduce sales the company could be getting this will definitely put me at risk of losing any job i may obtain in the future. To improve this i must work on reducing my social anxiety. This can be done by practicing speaking in front of people and improving my confidence.

Discovering What One of The 7 Different Learning Styles and what one i think is mine.

The 7 learning styles are how everyone learns as everyone learns in a different way where some may only be linked to one learning style some prefer two of them mixed together today i am going to find out what one/two of the 7 learning styles i prefer to learn by this will assist me in completing this course as it will inform me the best way to be taught and how i can use it to my advantage. These are the 7 learning styles.

These are:

• Visual: A preference of using pictures, Images and spatial understanding.

• Verbal: A preference of using words, in speech and writing.

• Physical: You prefer using your body, hands and touch.

• Aural: Using sound / music.

• Logical: A preference of using logic reasoning and systems.

• Social: you prefer to learn in groups with others.

• Solitary: Prefer to work alone / self-study.

I believe my learning style is part solitary and part visual as i prefer to see and use pictures to understand something and part solitary as i prefer working alone then in groups and find it easier to self teach myself some things.

Third Entry

Hand Writing

I am working on improving my hand writing this is because in the future if i produce a written document for a boss and it is comprehensible meaning they or anyone cannot read it. It will not only make me look unprofessional it will also make the company look unprofessional reducing their business putting my future job at risk i am improving this by doing regular handwriting practise and development. This is important to include while developing my skills in order to get a job in the future.
