Final reflection

15/06/10

I have just completed the career development unit. From doing this unit it has changed my thoughts about what i might want to do in university and a career. At the start of this unit i thought i wanted to do business marketing at university, but now i have decided that i am not completely sure whether this would be for me, as whilst doing more research into what the marketing side of business actually does i am not sure i would like doing this, so as a result of this i have decided that i would like to do a BA (Hons) Business studies sandwich course, as i am not completely sure what kind of business i would like to go into, with this it will allow me to have more time to decide what part of business i like and think is relevant to what i would like to do as a career in the future.

As a career path i think at this moment in time i am still thinking about marketing but also advertising, the reason why i have choosen advertising aswell is because i have done a lot of research into this, and like the sounds of what it consists of.

i have enjoyed doing this unit as it has allowed me to spend a lot of time researching what i would like to do in the next 2-5 years, not only this but i have realised what my strengths and weaknesses are by doing a skills audit,and so far i think its looking quite good for my age, as it consists of a lot of strengths.
