Appraisal Reflection The Recruitment Process

Question: Discuss about theAppraisal Reflectionfor the Recruitment Process. Answer: Introduction The recruitment process is always a vital process for an organization. Companies use the moment to search for the best talent in the labor market to join their firms. As part of the interviewing process, employers will need to see the skills a person has through various tests i.e. a typing test for secretaries. The purpose of this essay is to develop an appraisal reflection (Denda, 2015, p. 299). Communication skills are necessary to any profession. To improve my communication skills I decided to listen more and develop empathy. It was particularly important to start listening more than talking. Listening made me get little details in the conservation that show the message in the conservation. Empathy helped me to view different aspects of life from the point of view of my peers. When I combined good listening strategy and empathy strategy I realized that I was improving my communication skills throughout the semester (Elliot and Scallan, 2016, p. 139). Developing good communication skills gave me a lot of confidence. The skills made me a confident go-getter who could undergo interviews without any fear and sweating. Before the start of the semester, I feared interviews and view them to be very intimidating. Good communication skills will be very beneficial to my future profession. As a person with a preference for leadership. I will be able to influence employees to strive towards the achievement of a set organizational objective. The skills will be beneficial in passing interviews and creating a good image for me in the corporate world. As a student, I have never taken the need to develop skills such as decision-making, communication, and teamwork seriously. Having limited knowledge concerning the labor market requirements has been a bump in developing my professional career. Building a career portfolio is challenging and being a student I loved to procrastinate. Procrastination is the main barrier to developing a good professional portfolio. The college provides the necessary resources and the environment to sharpen these skills. During the semester I decide to take the issue seriously and try to develop the crucial skills that will give me an added advantage from other candidates in an interview process (Jones, Lavallee and Tod, 2011, p. 37). Personal insight and review are critical to establishing a career portfolio. My teammates and I have been trying to achieve the best out of our team to no luck. The team is stable with dedicated members but no teamwork skills. The skills needed in teamwork are what makes the team successful. According to Tuckmans teamwork theory, for a team to be successful it takes some time to and there should be no room for individual success in a team (Seck and Helton, 2014, p. 161). Knowledge of the theory helped the team from the middle of the semester to be more cohesive and develop a combined effort in tackling issues and assignments. The theory brought a lot of insight to the team members and helped us develop the skills needed for teams to be successful in addition to decision-making skills. Conclusion In conclusion, a graduate needs to develop a set of skills apart from the academic qualification to be able to survive in the job market. Set of skills such as decision making and communication skills give a candidate an added advantage during interviews.
