1. Introduction
Self-Development and Responsibility is a kind of development and responsibility that every single person have to take his own wile
managing all the things his/her self, responsibilities show that how much capable you are to take responsibility of your own meanwhile
managing and developing things properly by maintain a proper schedule for each and every single thing.
2. Summary:
Small design workshops made a significant contribution to my employment. First, the SWOT analysis facilitated me assess my strengths
as well as weaknesses and how to use my strengths in order to minimalize my strengths not only during the meeting, nevertheless also at work.
In addition, during the interview, after which the majority of respondents found it difficult to navigate, I learned to answer questions about my
weaknesses. Plus, I’ve learned that writing a thorough and high-quality cover letter is essential to getting a job. An employer can make a hiring or
not hiring decision based on the provided cover letter. A cover letter should be attractive, even if it’s based on facts. Employers should explain
why the candidate believes they are best suited for the job. Moreover, due to the large number of candidates, this is not enough. As a job seeker, I
understand that I need to explain why, given the strong competition in the job market, I believe I must stay ahead of all other job seekers.
The resume helped me too. I know how to apply for a resume so that employers can find work-related materials on my resume. This is
one area where many candidates fail. The person has multiple qualifications and is not suitable for a resume, which lowers the chances of being
hired. As a result, I figured out what to include on my resume to attract employers. In addition, speaking is also very important in educating my
4
communication assistances. I speak the language as well as can clarify in conversation. I memorize not only to express my opinions, but also
learned how to work in a team, which greatly improved my employability. Communication skills are important in a team, and most employers
prefer persons who can introduce their team to bests and talents.
I also learned to portray myself in interviews. Dress neatly during your interview and choose formal attire. The stern respondent rejected the
opinion of the majority of employers. He finds it rude and proud, which is unbearable for many organizations. Plus, I’ve learned that mastering
interview questions can improve your job opportunities. Before participating in an interview, I must understand the company, the position for
which I am applying and the expected roles and responsibilities. In addition, some managers need to know the pay ranges, which income that an
appropriate survey should be carried out before the interview, including the expected salary. Since many employers pay different wages for the
same job in different cities, the difference in wages can be understood from other jobs of the same level in the same city. Managing these issues
will allow the company to comprehend that the candidate comprehends their wants and can help the organization. Lastly, and greatest highly, the
candidate must distinguish how to help the company achieve its goals. Therefore, recruiters are organized who should be of benefit to
employees. The small design workshops helped me a lot to understand all of these factors and improved my job opportunities.

understood from other jobs of the same level in the same city. Managing these issues will allow the company to comprehend that the candidate
comprehends their wants and can help the organization as well as that candidate must distinguish how to help the company attain its areas.
