SMART Goal

 

We have all had some goal in life, because the benefit of having one in life is to set as a goal to be able to achieve it and become people to be able to achieve this goal. Having a goal helps us have a more powerful focus in our life because it gives us the ability to become better people and feel good about ourselves.

It is important to begin to define that a goal is to have the ability to have a competence or a role model that all people want to achieve in life in a specific time.  

However, it is different to have a SMART goal because it sets goals more clearly and deeply in order to prioritize this goal in our lives and achieve these personal and professional goals more successfully. In Figure 1 you can get a more precise definition of SMART goals

Specific:  A specific objective is more likely to be achieved than a general objective, to make a specific objective you need to always answer the six "W" questions:

  • Who?
  • What?
  • Where?
  • When?
  • Which one?
  • Why?

Measurable:  To check if my goal is measurable, we need to ask ourselves questions like:

  • How much?
  • How many?
  • How will I know when it is achieved?

Attainable:  You also have to evaluate whether "Your goal also needs to be realistic and attainable to be successful. In other words, it should stretch your abilities but still remain possible" (SMART Goals: – How to Make Your Goals Achievable, 2016).

Relevant: At this point you need to be realistic with your goal because you have to evaluate if it is within our reach and you can decide in what way it can be done correctly. To be able to check if it is realistic is to examine what conditions they must have to achieve this objective or analyze if this goal is similar to a previous goal that if it was achieved and under what conditions it was achieved so that it can be met.

Time-Based: To properly calculate the success of our goal is to be on the same page we must ask ourselves "What's your time horizon? When will the team start creating and implementing the tasks they've identified? When will they finish? " (Kat Boogaard, 2021). SMART objectives have quantifications consistent with the agreed time to achieve it.

A personal example would be "I want to start reading a book every day at least 20 minutes a day, of whatever book theme is to my liking to start reaching my goal of reading more than 100 books in a year" My SMART goal is realistic, if you can succeed in the time, I set the goal because I already have a reading habit. Then it's easier to achieve and my goal is more specific than before.

Personal Strengths & Weaknesses

  One of the main objectives of knowing our strengths and weaknesses is to be able to know ourselves more deeply and improve in what is most optimal for us. Another objective is to be able to know very well What are the strengths that make me look like an optimal candidate for a job that I am applying? So, knowing this, it will be easier to answer in a job interview "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" Because it is important to know that my strengths can be applied every day and used to my advantage to carry out some kind of social or interpersonal negotiation. Taking into account all the above it is necessary to define what strength is one of the skills to be aware of who I really am, since we are constantly changing so we can change our strengths as weaknesses. The strength to be a positive when using them in our favor consciously or unconsciously we feel with more energy. Personal weakness is a character or particularity that has always been defined as one in

Skills Assessment

  Currently our friend or work colleagues are the ones who establish how the daily work environment     should be, in addition our bosses are the delegates to motivate us, congratulate us if we did a good job, teach us to improve or something new that can surpass us in our skills and show us about what my responsibilities would be.   s tasks to be performed at that time With the passage of time, my manager will be able to give you   feedback   on   my   work, examining with you what   my   strengths and weaknesses are, continually highlighting what things I do better or what I am better at, but also   helping us to change   our   weaknesses into higher capacities. Skill assessment reports help managers understand the skills of individuals and teams, as well as identify areas where training is needed. One kind of report, an employee skill matrix, is a grid that maps required job skills to the proficiencies of current employees who need them.  (Avilar Team, 2020) In addi

Online Presence (LinkedIn, Portfolio)

Image
Online presence is all the information that accumulates about us online, with the purpose of creating a public search site so that other people can see our skills, work and academic experience over the years. It's important to have a good online presence because multiple recruiters can see our achievements, certificates, and extra-articular activities. However, it is important to remove all negative material from us online, because the odds of getting our desired work would be very low, as having these negative variants would be bad for our portfolio. A very curious fact about the online presence is that no matter in which social network we are showing our portfolio it is important to look for ourselves online as another online person external to ours, delete all the material that you do not want to show or that is negative and also configure our privacy online. It is also important for companies to be aware of the importance of a good and almost perfect online presence today
