SKILLS
Time management: I have been known to leave things until the last minute, which I really need to change in order to minimise stress
last minute, and this is something that I feel I need to improve to help me manage my work in VCE and later life.
Interviewing: I have not conducted formal interviews before, but I am interested in journalism and I have always wanted to gain some experience into this process.
Activism: I have a lot of opinions and I believe in the importance of activism in the world, but I would like to create awareness and change in the areas I am passionate about.
KNOWLEDGE
Australian political system: Politics is such an important aspect of our society as it governs the way that a country runs. I don't know a lot about the way that political system works from the inside, which is something I have always been interested in.
Justice and the law: I am considering law as a career, and I think it is vital to be aware of both your rights and the rights of others.
The media: I would love to gain an insight into this industry, as it is one that I am considering a career in and it can be such a powerful source of influence for people all over the world.
PERSONAL QUALITIES
Professionalism: I have not volunteered in a workplace or had the opportunity to conduct interviews before, which I am hoping will give me some experience in working in a more professional environment, which will be very useful in the years to come.
Confidence: I think I am sometimes too critical of my ideas, which just hinders productivity instead of refining my work. Everyone could benefit by just having some faith in the things they do.
Resilience: I am someone who can get overly stressed out when things don't go to plan, and a change in mindset in these situations would be much more helpful to myself and others in terms of both productivity and wellbeing.
In order to achieve these goals, I am going to commit to completing some work each night to avoid it building up at the last minute in order to work towards my goal of time management. I am also going to make sure I am dealing with the problem logically instead of letting my emotions take over in the face of a setback, to contribute to resilience
