Assessment Task: Plan personal work goals project

Task summary
This assessment task requires you to plan personal work goals based on a job role of your choice, and to discuss these personal work goals at a meeting with your assessor.

Complete the following activities:

1. Prepare for a meeting with your assessor.
Using the Internet, research and choose a company that you would be interested in working for, as well as a job role within that company.

The role you choose should be at a managerial level, such as a Marketing Manager or Human Resources Manager. You will need to be able to access a position description and the company's web site. Your assessor can provide you with assistance in identifying this information if you are having difficulty accessing such information.

Review the company's web site and position descriptions.
Consider what your work goals for 12 months would be if you were in that position. One of the work goals should be in relation to your own professional development.

List at least five personal work goals for the job role.
Your goals must be SMART goals, so that your achievement of the goals can be measured.

2. Meet with your assessor to discuss your personal work goals.
At the meeting, you will need to:
• Provide an overview of the business that you have chosen, including the purpose of the business and where it is located. Review the company web site with your assessor.
• Discuss the company's goals or objectives as evidenced by your review of their web site and position description.
• Discuss the position description for the job role you are interested in. Explain why you are interested in the job role and describe the key responsibilities of the job role.
• Discuss the five personal work goals that you have identified for the position, including why these goals are relevant to the company's strategic goals and plans, as well as to the job role and how these are suitable goals for a 12-month period.

During the meeting, demonstrate effective communication skills including:
• Speaking clearly and concisely
• Using non-verbal communication to assist with understanding
• Asking questions to identify required information
• Responding to questions as required
• Using active listening techniques to confirm understanding

3. Write a report on your personal work goals
Your assessor will have provided you with feedback on your personal work goals at the meeting, and you will need to ensure that this is incorporated into your report.

Your report should be about one page, and should include the following:
• An overview of the business that you have chosen, including the purpose of the business and where it is located.
• Discuss the company's goals or objectives.
• Discuss the position description for the job role you are interested in. Explain why you are interested in the job role
• Describe the key responsibilities of the job role.
• Discuss the five personal work goals that you have identified for the position, including why these goals are relevant to the company's strategic goals and plans and the job role
• Discuss how these are suitable goals for a 12-month period.

4. Write a report on your current work-life balance.
Think about your current work/life balance and your health. Take notes on how you currently maintain these and whether you want to make changes to the way you manage them.

Write a short (about one page) report on your work/life balance over your last two days.
For each day, start with the time you woke up, how long you took over breakfast and your morning routine, how you spent the morning, your lunch break, the afternoon and your evening. Describe what you did in your free time and what stress-reduction techniques you used while working. Calculate how much time you spent working and how long you spent doing activities that benefit your health and well-being.

Save this document as Work/life Balance Report.

5. Write a weekly schedule.
Using one of the tools you have researched, take the list of typical tasks set out in Communications Manager Tasks, and prepare a schedule for a typical week incorporating all of tasks included in the list.

Factor in at least 30 minutes a day for relaxation to ensure a work-life balance. This can be any activity you choose.

Take a screen shot of the weekly plan.

6. Send an email to your assessor.
The text of the email should be in grammatically correct English, written in an appropriate (polite, business-like) style.
