Question: Discuss about theReflective Writing for Developing Reflective Writing Skills. Answer: Introduction With the technological advancements, communication has become very easy and cheap. Now with the lightning fast internet, communication anywhere around the world is not an issue. Many social media platforms have played a major role in bridging the gap of lost communication between people (Powers, 2016) We can communicate our thoughts, memories and even videos to anyone, anywhere. Now it is very easy to link with an old friend, colleague and family. Even networking for formal purposes has become too easy. In the initial stages of my career, I started with a company and was offered a profile which was of not my choice. But accepting the fact that the availability of jobs in market is very rare, I accepted that job and started working there. Just after four months, I realized that the work I am doing is not my true calling, and I need to follow my passion, but I was clueless, how to pursue my goals. I started researching and started floating my resume in various organization of my choice. I tried to socialize with the existing employees but was not at all successful. This again added to my frustration and left me bamboozled (Croft, 2012). The only option now left with me was to continue my job and wait for a day when suddenly luck will favor me and I will end up in my dream job. But soon after, things started to change. One day on recommendation of my friend, I started using LinkedIn, and found it very informative and useful for person like me. Not only you are able to make many professional contacts but also come to know latest advancements in the domain and desired skills. I tried to make many professional contacts there and Soon I realized that social media has made my job so much easy and efficient. I not only make professional contacts but also added many new desired skills to my profile that industry experts advised me to have. Soon after I was having ample offers from my dream organizations and I ended up having a great designation in my dream company. The situation made me learn a lot (Arntfield, 2016). First of all, persistent, hard work and smart work. If I would have lost heart and would have settled for my previous job than I would have achieved this success, and second thing that I learned from that experience was that it is very important to work hard in a smarter way. Technology is very powerful and we should learn how to take full advantage of it. There are a lots of positives about that experience of my life. First of all, I realized the power and importance of technology and social media in our day to day life and moreover the importance of constantly keeping an eye on your goal, no matter how far it is. There is always an easy way to do difficult things and we only have to realize our potential to identify that and constantly work to pursue.
