Hello, I need your help how to start this assignment because this assignment
involves writing your professional summary. How can you start writing ,means what should i begin with….
A professional summary consists of several statements and phrases. The statements and phrases are always written with action verbs; for example, “skilled in,” “achieved,” or “served as leader of.” It is specific, brief, and focused. The summary makes a deliberate impression on your reader. A professional summary reveals in the statements and phrases your values and mental outlook. It reveals components of your personality that are your greatest assets. It highlights accomplishments and the results you have produced in the various roles you have held (e.g., team member, employee, community volunteer, trainer, presenter, etc.). As a collection of statements and phrases, it reveals what you bring to whatever pursuits you direct your attention.
Instructions: Much of the content that you will include in your professional summary already exists in the assignments you have completed in this class and the various contributions you have made to the discussion forums. Refer back to your completed assignments and the previous discussion forums to survey the things you revealed and shared about yourself. What skills did you identify? What are your values, and what is your mental outlook? What qualities of your personality can you highlight in a professional summary? What are your accomplishments, and how do these accomplishments reveal your particular interests within your specific field of study? Then, take those insights and consider how you can structure the best insights into statements and phrases that reveal your skills, values, mental outlook, accomplishments, personality, and interests. Here, you will need to exercise your creativity. Next, use action verbs to begin each statement and phrase. Lastly, write it professionally, that is, make an effort to be specific, brief, and focused. Keep in mind that you are writing this summary to make a deliberate and intended impression on the reader, so write each statement and phrase purposefully. Submit your assignment to the Dropbox by the assignment deadline as a Microsoft Word document (one paragraph with approximately 5–10 sentences or phrases).
