,Activity 1: Identify your strengths and development areas
You are required to source a job advertisement for a newly qualified
CA(SA). Consider the skills (excluding technical “know-how”) that a
newly qualified CA(SA) is required to have.
From the selected advertisement, identify one skill that you consider to
be your strength and one skill that you consider to be your development
area.
Your e-tutor will provide guidance in relation to this activity.
When identifying your strength and development area:
• Identify your strength and development area that is related to your
application for the selected job advertisement – such as “I have
strong active listening skills in communication” or “I would like to
improve my ability to work in a team”. You will concentrate on
improving these areas throughout the year, so make sure they are
things that are important to you;
• You should identify one strength and one development area in
total; and
• Keep it simple and realistic, as you will be required to explain how
you intend to enhance your strength or improve your development
area by the end of the year.
The following resources can be considered for this exercise:
1. Where to find a job advertisement for a newly qualified CA(SA):
2. How to assess your strenghths
3. Discussion forum – ask questions and request feedback from
your e-tutor.
Part A of the personal development plan (PDP) template must be
completed to identify your strengths and development areas.
