WRK 100 Assignment 2: Reflecting on Your Skills, Goals, and Accomplishments

Course: WRK100: Preparing for the Future of Work

Assignment 2: Reflecting on Your Skills, Goals, and Accomplishments

Due: Week 4

Points: 100

Note about this assignment: To ensure students are properly placed into the English courses that
will best set them up for successful college writing, it is customary for students to have their
writing skills assessed. For students without transfer credit for college-level English courses, the
writing you provide in Assignment 2 will be assessed to determine whether you should be placed
into ENG090 or into ENG116. This review of your writing will not affect your grade on the
assignment or the overall course; your instructor will grade Assignment 2 based on the rubric for
the course, which is separate from the writing review.

What to submit/deliverables: Word document that contains Parts 1‐3 of the Assignment 2
Template.

What is the value of doing this assignment? In this assignment, you will reflect on the qualities,
values, strengths, areas of improvement, and accomplishments that capture who you are and how
they connect to the 10 Skills and your personal, academic, and professional goals. You‘ll then
practice your communication skill by writing about what you‘ve identified in ways appropriate
for a CV or résumé (you will not need to complete a résumé). You‘ll use this information in
Assignment 3 to create an action plan for developing skills that will help you reach your future
goals. After completing this assignment, you will have a document you can bring to the Career
Center where counselors can help you further develop your career strategy.

Your goal for this assignment is to: Reflect on and communicate your skills, goals, and
accomplishments. To truly develop your communication skill it is important that you write using
your own words and do not cut and paste from the Skills Definition table or any other source.

Steps to complete: In Week 4, complete and submit your assignment using the following steps:

STEP 1: Complete the four questions in Part 1: About Me, reflecting on your values, aspirations,
key qualities, goals, strengths, and areas of growth.

• For questions 2, 3, and 4 in Part 1, make sure to write five or more complete sentences for each.

STEP 2: Complete the three steps in Part 2: Accomplishment Statements by reflecting on your
past accomplishments, using the template to identify the challenges, actions, results, and details,
and then writing two series of concise statements using the example accomplishments formatting
provided.

STEP 3: Complete the four-question reflection in Part 3: Reflect on Your Experiences,


considering Parts 1 and 2 of this assignment and the connections you have made to the 10 Skills.

STEP 4: Save the template with your completed responses as a Word file titled Your Name,
WRK100_Assignment 2 Reflection and submit it in Blackboard in Week 4.

To help make sure you are properly citing your sources, please review Strayer Writing
Standards.

Assignment 2 Template: Reflecting on Your


Skills, Goals, and Accomplishments
Part 1: About Me

Answer the following questions to capture how you see yourself in terms of values, aspirations,
key qualities, goals, strengths, and areas of growth:

1) Describe your values, motivations or aspirations in your own words.

2) Describe some of your main personal, academic, and professional goals. Make sure to write
five or more complete sentences.

3) What are some of your strength areas? Think about the top 2–3 skills you would advertise

more complete sentences.

4) What are some areas you would like to grow and improve in? Make sure to write five or more
complete sentences.

Part 2: Accomplishment Statements

Accomplishments don’t have to be as large as climbing the top of Mount Everest or starting your
own company. We accomplish many things in our lives every day that have meaning. For
example, perhaps you organized volunteers for your school’s food drive or made an extremely
profitable sale. Or, if you’re more advanced in your career, perhaps you’ve received a promotion
or special recognition.

In this part of the assignment, you’ll identify two accomplishments from work, school,
volunteering, or other activities. You’ll then practice communicating these in ways appropriate
for a résumé.

To begin, brainstorm accomplishments from your work, school, volunteering, or other activities.
Read theAccomplishment Categoriessection for a list. After you’ve identified two
accomplishments, write statements for each accomplishment using the information below:

Step 1:Think about each of your accomplishments in these terms:


Challenge Situation, problem, or requirement.

Action Specific actions you took to resolve or meet the challenge.

The benefit created in specific and measurable terms. Be sure to tie results to the
Result
organization’s goals when possible.

Clarifying details, such as numbers or percentages, to provide context (consider


Details
answering how many, how much, how long, or how often).

Consider the example below of someone with experience as a retail manager:

Challenge An increase in customer complaints about the helpfulness of staff.

Developed a new training program for staff, got approval from district manager, and
Action
once approved implemented it with a regular review process.

Result After 3 months, customer complaints decreased.

Previously, customer complaints averaged 4 per week. 


Details
After 3 months, complaints averaged 1 or less per week.

Step 2:Writetwo accomplishment statements to practice using this format:

Challenge

Action

Result

Details

Challenge

Action

Result

Details
 

Step 3:Now, try writing your two accomplishment statements concisely for a résumé (you will
not be completing a resume).Use either example formatbelow to write your accomplishments:

Accomplishment Statement 1: Result + action + brief description including clarifying details.

Example: Decreased customer complaints from 3 per week to 1 or less per week by training staff and
implementing a regular review process.

Accomplishment Statement 2: Action + brief description with clarifying details + results.

Example: Trained retail staff in customer-service techniques and implemented a regular review process,
decreasing customer complaints from 3 per week to 1 or less per week.
