This report vividly explains how reflection helps one think about their employability and transferrable skills. Reflective writing deals with both description and analysis which helps in clarifying thoughts, understanding important aspect and working out strategies in solving problems. Reflective writing is beneficial to individuals especially students. For individuals, it gives them the opportunity to think critically about what and why they do things and for academic perspective, it provides students the idea on their learning experience and helps them identify any academic issues they need to address.
Everyone has a different employability and transferable skill but I possess the following employability skills;
• communication skills, as a good writer and listener I believe these skills are mostly seen in my assignments and report writing and having oral presentation in class.
• Team work, being good in working with people in different organisations and class. This type of skill can be seen in my study group is university, being part of two different societies in university and a sports team leader
• Planning and organizing skills, I enjoy figuring out what is required in getting a job done and working out how and when it can be done. This can be seen in how I develop a personal study timetable and managing time around work and studies.
Transferable skills
• Leadership skills, taking initiative in doing things on time. this can be demonstrated in my assignment as I
A lesser-obvious ability is my ability for thinking in a creative and critical manner. In the years leading up to my move from Louisiana, I was very active in an global organization, Destination Imagination (DI), that compelled students to solve problems around them in creative and fruitful ways. For example, for two years my team chose to address needs in our community, and we were able to share our
Reflective writing is evidence of reflective thinking, which is a beneficial learning tool as it allows me to critically think about my personal employability skills. This self-reflection mode of writing allows me to recognise and identify my current skills, strengths, weaknesses, progress and achievements.
I believe that my competency strengths are teamwork, leadership and communication also referred to as T.L.C. A goal cannot be completed by one person, a leader must not only trust that their team can complete the goal, but trust that they will be able to work together. Communication is also essential for leaders because it helps everyone understand what goals needs to be accomplished and what would be the best way to accomplish the goal. communication is essential because it allows me to form a bond with my team members and get to know everyone's personal strengths and weaknesses. I value everyone on the team and want to make sure that we are utilizing our strengths and improving our weaknesses. At the end of the day my goal as a leader is
3. What would you say is your greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent overtime?
This assignment involved the research of the ‘Top 10 Employability skills’. This will allow a person to recognise the essential skills needed to become employed or even to employ someone. Secondary research was carried out first using the internet, books and articles. The secondary research is vital as it should be able to be evaluated with the primary research (Appendix 2)
My greatest skills are any soft skills. I have a true fascination with non-cognitive skills such as communication, time management, organization, leadership, teamwork, adaptability, and management skills. For my high school graduation project, I founded a soft skills mentoring program for middle school students. I view soft skills as a major necessity for college and career success and I would love to incorporate my passion for soft skills into my ability to be a counselor or support staff.
My greatest skill has to be my form of writing. Simple as a topic could be writing is something I make harder than it really is. I flow with imagination and descriptiveness, when I write a story or poems or whatever I will make it complex with those two things. This is hands down my overall best skill I have. This is my bread and butter, peanut to my butter, and my pen to my paper. When I write I write with high standards to the work so it can be as good as it could be. Just like any artist I feel that I can always do better than the last. I think that this is my strong point in my writing skills; I push myself to always do better.
As a student, in the beginning of my professional career, writing reflection seems a sensible idea to record learning experience. The early stages of any career would play important role in learning as one settles into the ways of profession. The complex part is recognizing such experience and implementing on practice. In this reflection, I will be discussing about the role play we have had last week in our classroom. Gibbs (1998) reflective cycle will be utilized as it illustrates a clear structure for the process of reflection which includes six main stages; description of the event, feelings, evaluation, description (analysis to
I have the skills to support me doing my major project. These skills are Critical thinking, analysing and decision-making. So I can make and decide what should I create my major product. I have a creative mind that will help me to decide and design my work. I have perseverance that will make me try and try until I succeed with something. Doing practical work needs a lot of perseverance and patience.
One of my stronger areas I am good with is collaboration. An example of me proving I followed this well is that I have done well for this course by contributing my ideas and sharing it with my classmates and also giving them my ideas, suggestions and the things I learned from them. Having good collaboration skills will be significant in my career pathways because I know that nobody likes to do work by him or herself when in a group work. Not only will it help you and your understanding, but it is also one of the ways where the teacher will know that the student is willing to learn and share ideas. Another strength I have is Initiative. For example, I love exploring new ideas and go above and beyond then what my task really states to do,
These are some of the top skills I have found to be most important to employers that
Another strength that I have is helping students set individual learning goals. I recently helped a student who usually has a hard time concentrating and staying on task create a GPAR (Goal-Plan, Action and Result), to help him get through his classes more focused. It worked very well and the student got a great result and therefore I know I will be doing this more next year to help a lot more students become successful.
My current strengths include; my honesty and passion towards my work. I have always been positive and confident regarding my aims and targets. Along with these, I am a good decision maker, due to which I can make right and quick decisions. Moreover, I have ability to motivate others and do team work. I am also a responsible person, when I make a target; I work day and night to achieve my goal.
One of my greatest strengths at work that I have recognized would have to be my ability to be a well-organized individual. I tend to write what I have to do down on paper and prioritize what is more important to least important. In doing this, it helps me organize and accomplish my work and meet deadlines that are important. A personal strength
A skill is defined as “the ability, coming from one 's knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well.” My three strongest skills would have to be teamwork, problem solving, and leadership. I exemplify my teamwork skills by serving as a team player and creating positive work relationships with everyone in my department to help achieve organizational goals. One example of this would be assisting my fellow co-worker with a work project that she is unfamiliar with. I’m also a good problem solver. I have the ability to identify problems in my department and generate alternatives and implement a solution to preclude the problem. I look at problems from different angles and try to see what would be the best solution. An example of this skill would be a recent change I suggested in my department. There were multiple occasions where employees were scheduled for training sessions, but were not being notified before the date of this activity causing them to miss their training session. Many supervisors stated they themselves did not know the dates when their employees were scheduled for training. To fix this ongoing issue I now print out a training schedule every month and post it in the lunchroom and main office so that it is visible to everyone in the department. I also send the schedule out in the beginning of the week of the scheduled training session via email to all the supervisors. This has eliminated missed training sessions and it also gives the opportunity for
