EBYM - Assignment 3

Hi. Welcome to my reflective video for enhancing your business mine.

My name is Jayden Watson, and let's get started.

So throughout this reflective video,

we will have a look at enhancing your business mind as a unit,

we will reflect on the two employability tools that

we did over the course of the semester.

We'll also take a look at my university life throughout a

whole where it started and where it's going to end.

And lastly, here we will have a look at my career where I have been,

where I'm planning to go and you know what the future might entail for me.

So you know, when you have a unit and you're just not really into it,

you can tell the lecturers just recycled slides from many years ago.

None of the statistics are up to date.

Well,

what I have done over the last semester is I

have been a part of enhancing your business mind.

This unit has been incredibly engaging. It has provided me with so many skills.

It has allowed me to interact with all the peers in the class,

and it's also taught me some pretty exciting skills,

such as being able to reflect on myself and learn the Gotti pitch.

As you can tell, that was the Gotti pitch, and

it's been one of the most interesting, uh,

topics that we learned throughout the semester.

It's something that I can see myself using in my future career,

whether that's being stuck in an elevator with a CEO or

just trying to relay ideas to some of my colleagues.

Another thing that I found really useful throughout that this unit is the seminars.

The seminars will run each week, and it just allowed a whole lot of engagement.

So all the different things that we learned all

the different activities that we were engaged in,

they weren't the typical business unit that I've come to know throughout my course.

There's been a lot of reflection which, personally,

I haven't really been doing a lot of in my life.

So it was really useful to look back inward and

reflect on things that I might be able to do better

and even things that I'm doing well, you know, so I can learn about myself,

and it's put me in good stead for the future.

I feel

next we'll be looking at the employability tool.

So we did one at the beginning of the semester. That is the first one just here.

And the second one was done at the end of the semester just down here.

So comparing the two,

I had a bit of a shift towards occupational literacy as well as the ethnical, uh,

cultural and social literacy and also a shift towards emotional literacy.

My thoughts on this is that I've become a little bit better at reading people.

This may come from a little bit of sales that I did and I was doing door to door sales,

and I had to be able to read the customer interaction.

Um,

I've also got a little bit more of a defined occupational

path that might be influencing some of the occupational literacy.

Maybe even the emotional electricity there

and my ethics have improved,

which

I feel like I might just come from maturing a little bit, realising,

you know where I want to be in life, the type of person that I want to be.

All these things have led to that employability tool changing a little bit,

which honestly, I'm very happy with.

So next here we have my uni life. It's been an incredibly long journey.

I started back in 2016. I was on a physiotherapy sort. Of course,

I thought coming out of school that, you know, my interest in sport.

I was interested in human biology and, you know,

just marrying those two together might be where I wanted to be in the future.

But I soon found out that uni wasn't for me at that stage.

I wasn't really ready personally, so I needed to take a bit of a break from the study.

I felt like I needed to do some work.

I needed to travel a little bit, just, you know, have a little break from study.

I actually went to China in that break, and I was teaching English,

which led me to try a teaching degree in primary education in 2018.

Did that for about a year and a half. Realised also that that's not what I wanted to do.

Uh, so accompanying whilst I was working in the bars and in cafes,

I found a passion for managing people.

I like to try and solve problems. I like to try and put people in the right places.

So I figured that I might give a commerce degree ago, um,

majoring in management or human resources.

And luckily enough, I found my passion there, and

here we are. Now we're at the end of it, and I'm feeling really positive.

I've had a great time so far.

Studying fully online has been a little bit tough, but, you know,

I live with a little bit too far away, so travel to uni was impossible for me.

But I've made it through and learned a

lot along the way about coursework about myself,

and I feel like it's been very rewarding.

So talking about my career so far

it has had a lot of twists and turns, as you can probably tell from the uni slide.

Before I originally thought that I was going to be a really good teacher,

I thought kids, um, might be where I could mould their minds.

I might be able to impart some of my knowledge.

I also that was part of the person personable sort of side of things where

I wanted to engage with people rather than just sitting at a desk all day.

But, you know, things change and I then moved on to

thinking about. I might want to own a bar or a cafe one day.

I might want to try and manage people in that scenario,

but I got really sick and tired of dealing with drunk people.

Mainly, um, so I recently got out of that sort of line of work.

Unfortunately, it was because of Covid.

But you know, things happen for a reason. And

now my focus has really shifted towards the human resources side of things and,

more specifically, the change management.

I really enjoy what I really enjoyed the organisational behaviour

and cultural learning throughout the units that I've done.

I feel like I might be able to impart

some knowledge on people in organisations that are going

through major changes might be able to come up

with plans about how to deal with these things.

Um, and that's really something that I'm striving towards for now.

Currently,

I'm doing a bit of work in the disability employment sector so that involves,

you know,

working with people with disabilities and trying to get them into open employment,

trying to make sure that they're building capacity to

find job as well as keeping a job,

you know, just like anyone else

reflecting on my odyssey plan, we did one in a unit.

I couldn't find it, But it was about a year ago

and I was still on the train of thought that I wanted to own a bar.

But now we just did one in the last week of semester,

and I realised that my focus is really in the human resources side of things.

I think I'm happy to work for someone rather than being my own boss.

Might look at maybe a bit of freelance work with the change management, but also,

I believe there is lots of contracts out there for that kind of stuff.

So it has changed quite a lot, even in, you know,

in the space of a year which I find

to be quite interesting looking back and reflecting.

So to conclude, we have had a look at the employability tool there.

We ran through the one that we did at the start of

the semester and compared it to the last one that we did.

We reflected on enhancing your business mind as a unit,

something that I've really enjoyed towards the last bit of my uni degree.

We reflected on my time at university and it's

been a very long journey and I'm very happy to

be towards the end of it now in something

that I'm passionate about and something that I enjoy.

And we also had a look at my career and what the future may hold for myself.

It's been an absolute pleasure, and I wish you all the best, thank you.
