    Achievement

    Achievement is an important competency given that the more you can achieve, the better
    your prospects will be when it comes to looking for a new job.

    Read the text and then do the exercises.

    What is Achievement?

    Achievement is what you have done of significance at work which has benefited your
    company or organisation. Think about your work achievements. Or even your life
    achievements - these are the successes that you have had so far. Perhaps you have just passed
    your driving test, or maybe after many years of trying, you have learnt to swim. This is an
    achievement as it is something you have worked hard for, and in the end the results have been
    successful.

    Why is this important?

    In our lives it is important to have objectives so when you have reached them you can say
    you have some achievements. Think about when you were younger, and your ambitions.
    Maybe you wanted to become a doctor, so you studied hard, and you finally became a doctor.
    Perhaps you wanted to have a house with a big garden. Can you remember the day you
    fulfilled this dream? These are personal achievements and they give you the feeling of self-
    satisfaction, confidence, and happiness. Let us now take a look at your work achievements.
    When you have achievement at work it means that you are working towards goals normally
    set by others, but they can be set by yourself, too. Perhaps you have to reach a sales target, or
    you need to complete a project within a deadline, or perhaps you need to see clients or
    customers and help them in some way. If you succeed in helping them, or you reach your
    sales target, or you complete your project by the deadline, you have examples of
    achievements. Striving for achievements shows determination and tenacity. 

    How can you show you have this competency?

    If you have a job interview and you want to demonstrate your achievements you need to think
    about different situations you have been in, the actions you have taken, and the results of
    these actions. Perhaps you have had a difficult customer, how have you dealt with that
    person? Did your action benefit your organisation? In what way? If your results were
    successful, state this either in your job application, or in your interview.
    Think about the skills which you have which make you attractive and valuable as an
    employee. Remember the more achievement you can give as examples, the more you can sell
    and market yourself for the job. 

    How to improve this skill

    If there is a goal which seems difficult to achieve, don’t give up easily. If you can understand
    your goal and work towards it this will show that you have the potential to achieve. You need
    to be able to face obstacles and be determined enough to meet targets. Think about a time
    where you have had to take “no” for an answer, did you just accept it? Don’t just accept it,
    find out why the answer is “no”.
    Also ask for feedback as this can give you an indication of how you are doing. You could
    compare this to learning a language, for example, if you find some grammar difficult you can
    always ask your teacher for feedback on your exercises. You can apply this rule to the
    workplace as well and if you are not sure of how you are progressing, ask!
