Personal Reflection 2
Name: Lim Han Jet
Student ID: 30846798 The purpose of this personal reflection is to analyse the results of my “FIND MY WHY” report to reflect on what did I learnt about myself across all the modules, how it aligned with my career path, taking actions to discover my potential career, and how the sector of accounting would have change in the future. Based on my own “FIND MY WHY” report, my values are the following in order: financial reward, freedom, independence, status, and truth. My drivers, also known as motivations, are career progression, job satisfaction, reward & recognition, organisational confidence, and well-being. Honestly, I have learnt a lot across all modules in year 1, mainly the transition from computer science to accounting has made me realised that no such thing as “smooth sailing” course. Every module has its own difficulty and requires time and patient to understand the information. I learnt a lot in terms of keeping up with lessons, slacking off at class will make the procrastination habit harder to overcome. For example, I start doing an assignment as soon as the lecturer released on blackboard. Next, I have built up the courage to ask questions, my personal observation is every lecturer is more than happy to answer your questions whether is academic or personal provided you asked politely and in the right situation. Since I’m taking accounting, most people assume my career path will be pursuing a career in the Big 4 accounting firms. However, this is not the case, I’m still working on my dream to become a commercial pilot. I plan to gain some working experience and financial security by working in accounting firm for the first 5 years. As one of my values is job satisfaction, I believe landing my desired job as a pilot will fulfil that and the reward & recognition are always my biggest motivation. The knowledge I gained from this degree won’t be a waste, it’s not about balancing the accounts, I gained a lot of financial literacies that will benefit me for lifetime. The main action that I will take to land my desired job is to have enough capital to enrol in a flying school. The cost is not affordable, it can go up to half a million of Malaysian Ringgit. The alternative way to eliminate the factor of cost is by enrolling in an airline- sponsored cadet pilot programme. For instance, Singapore Airlines’ cadet pilot programme opens application for Malaysians once a year, it has no age limit and shortlisted candidate comes with a bond duration of 7 year serving as first officer. This may not satisfy the value of freedom, but I view it as status, because my pilot training is being sponsored and granted with a position for 7 years. Most importantly, I must graduate with a degree and complete a year of internship regardless the options I pick. I’m flexible with both options. Speaking of qualification, most airlines require pilots to have at least A-level or with a bachelor’s degree, so my current degree is not pointless. In case I failed to be a commercial pilot through all the possible options, I will stick to corporate for a few years and eventually open my own business. Once I have sufficient capital, I will enrol for a private pilot license training, which is a much cheaper license, the main difference is I can’t fly for commercial airline with this license. Nevertheless, flying for leisure and private purpose is still possible. Accounting will not be replaced by A.I, many people are concerned with the constant development of Chat GPT, instead accounting technology will improve the efficiency and overcome the issue of human errors. Human is still needed in most accounting role, but we should keep with up with new digital skills to adapt to new ways of completing tasks. We should be flexible and foster a never stop learning habit to keep up with the rapid transformation of technology. Accountants should learn to work in a team as their tasks are getting more complicated with automation. The demand for accounting roles will continue to increase, every organisation, doesn’t matter it’s small or large, require accountants to do bookkeeping and record daily transactions. In conclusion, I’ve learnt a lot in year 1. Learning is not always in classroom or school; I learnt a lot from not repeating the same mistake by exploring things outside of classroom. Drafting a career plan is one thing, we must take actions to achieve it. No one can alter the change of accounting industry being digitalised, we can equip ourselves with the right set of skills to avoid being obsolete in the industry.
