Evaluate your own abilities in creating an effective CV and application form and reflect on your performance and feedback from the mock interview and assessment centres and any other job application experiences you may have.

Question 2: An evaluation of your contribution to teamwork during this module.

The focus here is on the importance of teamwork within the workplace. Consider how you have worked with others in a group setting during the course of this module and in particular reflect on your experiences during the group challenges and the mock assessment centres.

Question 3: A reflective account - Compare and contrast your own experience, skills and behaviours with those valued by graduate employers.

The reflective account is your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to learn from your experiences as an undergraduate student and look ahead to consider how they may be useful to you in the future. Your comments should be supported by evidence and examples from any aspects of your life including work, study, family and extracurricular activities. Consider:

• What experience, skills and behaviours are valued by typical graduate employers and why
