Professional Development: Task 2 – Identifying

job roles in your chosen area/industry(U3: LO 3.2, AC 2.1
& 2.2))

You are required to carry out the following three tasks to complete this
assignment. I’ll be looking for these headings on your page:

Skills Audit Analysis: This section is designed to get you thinking about your own
strengths as well as identifying things you’d like to be better at.

Transferable Skills Analysis: We’re then going to look at skills you feel can be
applied to the course and your career as an Esports professional, which you may have
learned in other aspects of your life.

Identifying and applying effective working practices: Finally, we’ll look at some
established effective working practices which you’ll discuss the importance of. You’ll
then grade yourself out of ten for each one.

You can copy and paste the relevant tasks of this worksheet on to your
Weebly page in order to complete for submission

• Use this worksheet to help you construct your response to this section of
the assignment brief.
• You will be given certain assignment tasks to be completed in class
• You may also undertake ‘extended learning’ outside of the class time
when required
• You will use your Weebly page for your response. No hard copy is
required, but you are advised to keep any work safe by uploading it
digitally.
• You must reference ALL sources that you use in researching this
assignment, and this must be made clear in your response.
• Remember, plagiarism will result in your work being failed and possible
disciplinary action taken.

The first task we’re going to look at is a skills audit…

Task 1 – SKILLS AUDIT ANALYSIS (Do this task on your Weebly page)

Part 1: Look at the twelve skills and place them in order of difficulty, with the most
difficult first (you can do this by cutting and pasting them in order):
Motivation and staying motivated
Evaluating own work
Speaking in front of people
Memory
Time management
Effective use of session time
Getting started on work
Presentation skills
Writing skills
Use of IT skills
Reading skills
Working with others

Part 2: Now use the ‘traffic light’ system to highlight which you feel is the most or
least difficult for you (you can do this by changing the text colour)
Red – major priority which needs working on a lot
Amber (or yellow) – difficult, but manageable
Green – confident

Part 3: Write a few lines of what you can do to turn each of the red and amber
priorities into green.

Using my time more effectively and spacing out my work and time better
Practicing speaking in front of people and just getting better at it over time
Not sure how to help memory
Once I get started on work I’m normally fine just need to get better at motivating
to start
Get better at writing more complex and more informative work

Task 2 - TRANSFERABLE SKILLS CHECKLIST (Do this task on your Weebly

you may have used in other situations…

Write a little next to each of these Identifying how you have used each of these
chosen skills AND how this skill might be useful on the Level 3 Esports course.

Computer/IT Skills – For the E-Sports course this is helpful to have as a skill as it makes it
easier to learn computer software like Photoshop and the Adobe software

Follow Instructions – If in a team or doing work that needs explanations, I’m able to take
in the information and follow it well
Analyse Data or Facts – When doing secondary research, I’m able to find a lot of
information relating to the topic that I need to research, to a detailed extent.

Play Instruments – Playing an instrument in the past, gave me dedication to a certain

thing to do, and helped me learn to have patience and learn from mistakes, as it was a
lot more difficult than first thought

Negotiate – I’m able to negotiate for team or self-benefit in situations that would need it
or benefit from it.

Research – I’m able to research effectively across many websites to get as much
information about a topic as possible to have a better understanding and wider range of
info to work off of

Self-Motivated – I am motivated to do work and do the E-Sports games to the best of

my ability with as much information and energy as I possibly can do
