My current role, Growth and Learning

I have  to develop some new skills  and  grow in  with  experience in  my  current job. I have to  consider what seems to be missing from  my  current job, or  may  new things I have to learn and I ave to find ways and means to add those things to my current  job to carry out my roels. The best way to start is to think about the needs of   my  department and supervisor. If  I  know what my  departmental requirements   and these are areas in which I want to develop,  I  may have a win-win situation.  My  needs and  my  departmental  needs may be met at the same time. In this case, it is more likely that my  department may support training and development that I  may need. However, sometimes my  area of interest may not be of interest to the department. If that is the case, I have to find  for  other ways to develop. I  can figure this out by talking to  my  supervisor.  I am  prepared to talk about what works in my  current  career and what new things  I  would like to learn
