INTRODUCTION
This report is a self-reflection that makes me to identify skills, knowledge and experience
needed when applying for the post of a marketing officer in the marketing industry based on my
research assignment in (CW1). Career Action Play was conducted to show time frame for my
development as a marketer, I paste a new job Advertisement in the appendix and I also included
in this report a (CV) and LinkedIn profile which is suitable for a marketing Officer . This activity
of evaluation has helped me learn about my strengths and weaknesses and under the light of this
I could better adopt directions for future. As a marketer, according to Billa, Avula and
Chakravarthy (2020), one need to be extremely smart to outcast anyone in front of you. Here,
spontaneity is my asset and I believe I have it but I need support of other skills and there is a
long course that I have to cover in order to bring myself in the real marketing world. For the said
reason, I have planned to start my practical life as soon as early so I should be learning while on
job. This paper helps develop an image of mine in the mind of the reader. I intend to keep
learning and exploring and have my hands-on technological progression since it can earn me the
needed competitive edge.
PERSONAL ANALYSIS
Learning ends when you believe you have learned enough. When I reflect upon my
journey so far, I can state that I am still a learner who has countless things to learn and apply. I
think application is much more complicated than learning as Kaiser and Austin (2020) also
support my stance since l do not really get a chance to apply the knowledge until and unless l
enters the practical world. This is the reason why I want to apply for a job so I can get on-job
experience and will decide on my further trend in education as mentioned by Vanwesenbeeck

(et.al, 2020) that first step is the most crucial one. As an advertiser, l have an apple opportunities
due to advancement of technology but as an entrant l get to face much complications since the
gurus do not let me in easily (Sawyer, 2019; Pažėraitė & Gedvilaitė, 2016). I have planned to
enter by believing in my abilities, learn, apply and invent. As per the research shared by Perreault
(2018), creativity is the essence of the field I have chosen for myself. There is so much I can
design but the point is I would have to have people who should trust me and my capabilities and
give me a chance to explore and learn. Having a platform is a dream been nurtured and I have
my mentor who is my teacher. He keeps on guiding me on how I can use available resources to
focus on achieving excellence in my field.
I have been a shy person throughout my life, was truly introvert in my childhood but later
go better due to my teachers’ and parents’ hard work. Therefore, public speaking still brings
uninvited fear in me and I have to struggle myself out of it. I have millions of ideas, but I am
unable to present them in an impressive way. The same ideas when I share with my classmates,
they do it exceptionally well as supported by Tully and Vraga (2017) it takes ages to understand
how to present myself. These days, I am already working on enhancing my public speaking skills
for which am taking live sessions with my mentor.

Besides, I feel myself so passionate that I get carried away with my ideas and lose the
actual focus which sabotages the final outcomes. I wanted the audience to feel the same
aspiration and urge in them which I have but this is not possible. The aim of the advertisers is to
grab audience’s attention (Zinoviev & Dudko, 2018; Shrivastava, 2020). I have once ventured
myself to be a part of group who prepared volunteer message on ‘gadgets and safety’ and I could
learn how difficult it is to be on a team. There are much of arguments and discussion,
disagreements and compromises and then l finally get the results. I feel that working as a team
member is a complicated job where everyone has their ideas and passion. Yet, in today’s world
teaming up has proved to be more desirable over isolated or individual work (Sawyer, 2019;
Martinez & Shaker, 2018; Griffin et.al, 2017). I need to further polish my skills to work on a
team, especially, my interpersonal skills since I do use my communication skills to connect with
my teachers and friends but problem comes when it comes to work with people. Maybe I am
little more assertive than required and get firm with my ideas. Still, I think to remain productive
and learn, I need to stay with people and develop a working relationship where I can learn and
get experience from different sources.
Career Plan 5
As I mentioned above, I do land myself into arguments my conflict management ability is
weak for which I have to work hard as mentioned by Wortsman (et,al, 2019) it is person’s ability
that is more important that his knowledge. I remember once our teacher assigned us a task and I
was so passionate about it that I wanted my teammates to listen and follow me. This was
obviously not accepted by others and in the end, we submitted the task in late. I am reading
books on how to maintain working relationships and avoid conflicts like A Language of Life:
Life-Changing Tools for Healthy Relationships by Marshall Rosenberg. I hope to overcome this
issue in the coming months since COVID lockdown gave me ample time to read. On the brighter
side, my analytical skills have always been praised since my comprehension skills have mostly
supported it. I can bring in minute details that are ought to be ignored but hold immense
relevance for the tasks. I use certain details to approach the task in a different way; this helps me
making unique things.

knowledge of marketing concepts. |

2. | Budgeting | Being a marketing person, budgeting is another liability that (I believe) is imperative for a person to know the limits. Of course, not every time ‘more’ is an option; sometimes you need to stay in a limited budget to bring in most creative ideas (Yang et.al, 2017; Winters & Mathewson, 2019). In the world of advertisement, budget never hinders the ideas but the implementation (Antoniou & Storkey. 2019). |
The classmates have made groups in our class that are already working on budgeting skills, we have been hiring the expertise of marketing mentors to teach us how to plan budget and pocket-friendly ideas. |
This milestone is achievable during the span of 1 month |

projects. | |||
4. | Presentation Skills | In the world of advertisement, presenting ideas is one of the major hallmarks that any entrant level person must face (Omar et.al, 2012). To me it is a whole science that I will have to have confidence and many other ingredients to impress my clients with my ideas. |
Besides graduation degree business courses, I would like to gain the mentioned skills while on-job which is going to give me the real insight. |
Over the span of 6 months |
CONCLUSION
The entire experience of developing my career plan was worth taking since I could really
bring me in a serious position to focus on how to go about making my career. Passion is the
important factor, but it is not the only needed attribute while working for your future. I feel I
Career Plan 8
should have a mentor too whose guidance can keep me secured and on the right path. I really got
stuck while developing my plan as I was unable to decide on what degree and professional
courses are required. I still have tried to take everything meticulously. Today is the era of
presenting yourself in a way one should want you. My presentational skills are needed to be
polished and I would need to further work on my communication and interpersonal skills. Being
assertive always helps, but there is a thin line differentiating between being rude and courteous.
This whole activity has proved to be an alarming bell that warns me now what I lack and what I
should plan for. I feel I can overcome my weaknesses using my strengths and opportunities since
COVID has changed the situation of the world and like everyone else I would have to make extra
struggle to start my career formally.
