Application
1. Start by identifying your areas of improvement.
After being employed or hired in your desired

skills, competencies, and values that you need to
prioritize in achieving your career goal.

will compare your current situation to career goals, then
describe what you need to accomplish to achieve it.
Application
2. Set objectives based on your gap analysis. Restate your
gap description into objectives. Remember that goals and
objectives must be SMART, meaning specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Below is how you should
restate a gap description into objectives:

 A Letter to My Future Self
Dear Gio,
I like you because you are committed and hardworking. You are also being
admired by your friends and teachers, because of your great communication skill.
However, if there is one thing that you need to improve, it should be your time
management. I hope that by now, you are already a
Public School Master Teacher, who facilitates 21st century teaching and learning
among active learners and shares his expertise to all his colleagues in the school. I
know that you love this profession, because you know that the influence of a
teacher never stops and that you want to help the next generation of learners to
have a better future.

Yours truly,
Gio Alonzo
