Professional Development Reflective Journal
Hi, the requirements for this assignment are rather trivial and I need to explain them to you first. I will send you some documents from which you can get the information you need and the instructor provides a template for the final completion. You can start your work based on the template. Also, we have five completed tests, and my initial thought was that I would provide you with the results of my quiz and then need to integrate them into the final assignment through your work. But I haven't finished it yet, and time is already very tight. However, since the entire assignment is biased towards subjective analysis, for the time being the absence of these five assessment results provided by my side may not have a particularly large impact on your writing process.Of course if you need to see it, I'll finish it right away and upload it to you. Use AMJ referencing style，please.
Hi, the professor's request is that you can use articles from your own research as references, but use as many references as possible from the list he offered. Here is the list.

Introduction (150 words)
Choosing a career is very instrumental for all individuals. The career that one chooses determines how their life unfolds. Before starting the course, my initial career plan was to work toward becoming a top executive. With this in mind worked on the five professional development reflective journals (PDRJ). PDRJ1 entailed identifying my career adaptability. Here, I discovered what I am capable of doing. PDRJ2 entailed more self-awareness. PDRJ3 helped me identify personal attributes and skills needed for my career path. PDRJ4 involved identifying the work values I need in my career. Lastly, PDRJ5 was meant to assist me in articulating my career vision. This final reflection highlights what I need to consider when choosing my career path. It is important to help me in developing the required skills and values. It is instrumental in shaping my career choice to focus on what I can do best.

My overall learnings from PDRJs 1-5 (1000 words)
The PDRJs were quite influential in my life and the career path I want to take. The first lesson I got from the PDRJs was that planning my career is not an easy endeavor, and for it to be a success, I need to have an in-depth knowledge of myself. However, how does one get to know themselves? As Shepherd (2005) indicated, self-awareness is not an easy endeavor, regardless of the purpose behind a person's commitment to know themselves. These things were made clear in the first week, and I realized that it is a lot of work to study myself. Apparently, in the first week, it was made clear that I needed to know myself, know what I like and do not like, know what moves and motivates me, and develop a vision for myself. However, developing a vision is not an easy endeavor, and though one can easily pass this step, it was made clear that a vision is all but a start. The purpose of a vision is to paint a picture of where I would like to go. However, one has to be careful not to paint a picture of a future they do not desire or will eventually be tired of. This, however, is not to say that a vision needs to be perfect. But, it ought to be adjustable and adaptable as I grow and move on in life. Further, I have to know that I am answerable to myself and that the decision to enhance myself is highly dependent on me. No one will help me realize my vision or affirm my beliefs.
The second learning from the PDRJs was that I am a person who derives a sense of responsibility from exercising my skills, and this influenced my standing on managerial roles. Apparently, I learned that I am not interested in management because I deem management positions quite rigid. Therefore, I consider opportunities that offer me more flexibility to be suited to who I am. In such opportunities, I foresee having more impact on those around me than when am a leader. A functional role will allow me to be myself and exercise control over my workspace. Such a lesson serves to point me in the right career direction. The societal idea of employment is that after one is employed, the ideal career trajectory is to assume a management role in the future eventually. However, through this week's results, I have learned that this is not the case for me. Apparently, I want to be an authority in whichever career I choose, but I would like not to be burdened with dictating what people do every day. I would say that this is influenced more by my personality, which Judge and Kammeyer-Mueller (2007) note greatly influences how people will fare in their careers. What the above means is that knowing myself more paves the way for me to understand what I stand to offer an organization and whether I am in the right career.
Howeve...
