Five Phases Of My Professional Development
The article Shows the five phases of my Professional development after coming to the alliance university, Bangalore. How i managed stress and time & different situtaions all together.
First Phase- I st Semester
This was the phase when i first joined the college, & was actually experiencing the college life for the first time ever. I was very confident and bold that i would have a great learning experince . And would make good networking among the colleagues. With a lot more expectaions about my future and personal life. But as the semester days started passing by. I felt much stressed with all the assgnments and presentations work. I was not able to adapt the situations. Nobody i could find out who would happily help me. There was already groups formed based on the geographical distributions.It sometimes beacame very tough for me to manage the things. But somehow i started coping up and managed to score very well in exams. That was the time i realized that studies can help me a lot. Because all the eyes who would never have reconized me, started recgonizing me. Oh!! Okay hes the one and he is the finance topper. I felt very good by hearing that. I regained my lost confidence and Started participated in class room discussion with an ease. So, i learned to be more confident and determinant. Also learned that how to deal with different kind of people. This was the phase when i acquired knowledge about various concepts and theories. And started thinking rationaly about all the various situions.
Second Phase- I I Semester
This was the phase when we parted and new classrooms were allotted with new colleagues all over again exclusively called as the finance section. I was charged enough with little nervosunes as to how would i pass all the finance subjects. But alas! i was happy enough. In this phase of professional development i actually applied my old learning for theories into practical. Now, i started Five Phases Of My Professional Development

enjoying doing assgnments. And would work upon them with more zest and zeal. Because i have good knowledge base, i was able to apply them at the right time and on the right situtaions. I actully became a bit over confident in this phase. And i very well knew this. I planned many things but was not able to do them because of my over confidence.
Third Phase- I nternship
Third phase of my professional development was my internship experience. I got an opportunity to do my internship with Protiviti Consulting Pvt Limited, a US based consulting company ranking 54th in the world. I was again very amused with the situation that i had a better opportunity now and that too in mumbai the financial capital of India. In mumbai during my internship days, i had a great learning experience, i learnt about many different financial theories and also learned the practicle application of these theories, there was time when i got strresed up when i had no work to do and i had to think of ways that how to tell my manager that i want some good work rather than doing the data entry jobs. I learnt the managerial ways of communicating. And gained to see & analyse the things with a holistic approch. I travelled from mumbai to gurgaon on different assgnments with my office collegues. And learnt how the business meeting are being conducted, how the real corporate world works. What are the happenings in the corporate world.how the day to day working are being done. And to what extend CEO'S of the comapnies goes, to amuse their employees, so that they dont feel stressed with work load. As whole living in mumbai was a great learing experience, meeting new people daily. Mumbai made me learned the actual time management skills. Because of my manager and the local trains which never stops for anyone.
Fourth Phase- I I I Semester
This phase starts when i actually came back to college. Once again the same life started but know having gained the industry experience. I could relate the things much quickly than before. In case of solving case studies now, I could actully think of the situtaions and imagine the real scenario as to what would have actually happened at the time of the problem.

in the semester, and the level of increased competition i am now working hard to maintain my position in the top 5 and also not only focusing on the academics also keeping in mind that i have placements seasons coming up. For which i have to be prpepared and well versed all the theoritical aspects, and the practicle application of my knowledge.
Fiveth Phase- I V Semester
Fiveth phase of my development would be focused more on enriching myself with industry knowledge and concepts. Maintaing my same academic position i would now focuss more on networking with all my faculties and collegues. As i know that this networking will help me in my future endavevour. As i would know that this would be my last opportunity to grab all the knowledge and attention. Focusing more on disccussions with peers and understanding the situtions. In short this phase would now again will be phase where i will be building my knowldge base much more above and high as to what i have already build.
My development phase would never come to halt. My startegy would be-
