Record and reflect on what you have learnt

 

• Use a learning log to record your experiences and to identify skills and knowledge acquired. There are several reflective learning packages available in the Careers Service(link to 4) to help you do this. Employers always want you to provide examples of skills gained and you will find this documented evidence very useful when completing graduate application forms.

• Talk through your experiences with colleagues, fellow students, tutors, employers and careers advisers to get constructive feedback whenever you can.

• Evaluate your performance - identify your skill gaps and decide what you need to do to improve in the future. This will help you in managing your own career development (link to 1h)
