Introduction Before this module, I was nervous about will I be able to get a placement. Or even how to apply for a placement? Although I had a general knowledge about CV, I didn’t know that CV must be tailored for each company you are applying for. I just had one CV which I used for everything. But now, because of Management Skills module, I am more relaxed as I have a basic understanding about how to apply, tailor CV so it meets the requirement of the business and what employee look for. Applying for placement and jobs During the first part of the module, we focused of writing CV and cover letters. In the first seminar, we analysed two CV’s and two cover letters and looked for its strength and weakness. From this exercise, I learned that just stating the skills and qualities is not enough, you have to make sure to write how you developed them as well, whether it’s from work experience or playing sports. Moreover, I found out that different business has different interpersonal skills requirement, so when making CV I will make sure to state the requirement they want. Furthermore, from reviewing the cover letter, I discovered that when writing cover letter, make sure I write about what I can provide for the business not just what they can offer for me. For instant, next time I write cover letter, I will say “I will bring my leadership skills to your company which I have developed from working at Marks and Spencer as I had to mentor new employee”. Another knowledge that I
While I appreciated that one of my peers provided feedback on my work, I feel that the feedback that was provided did not fulfill the assignment. My peer did not provide detailed feedback on my paper that could be adequately incorporated in my review and revisions. Most of the information that was provided as feedback were simply statements that reiterated what the prompt question was. Please see the below feedback provided to me by my peer.
Within this report and portfolio there is going to be analysis on different employability skills covered within this my first year at university and, evidence of how they are incorporated in my own development as a Business Leadership and Corporate Management student to successfully hold a placement for the next two years of my degree.

As a human resources manager, the primary task is to ensure that only the best candidates are called for interview. In essence, academic credentials are not enough to determine a candidate’s suitability. During the interview, it is important to ensure that the applicant has required skills to meet the firm’s objectives. For example, a given person might have the best academic qualifications as per the job’s description but lack other important aspects such as ability to work in the team and good communication skills. During the interview, such traits should be noted to disqualify applicants who cannot meet fundamental requirements of a team player.

In this essay, I will assess the importance of employability and personal skills in the recruitment and retention of staff in a selected organisation which is “Uxbridge College”. It is necessary for Uxbridge College to consider both the employability and personal skills when employing as human resources, as they need to ensure that they are employing the correct candidate, who is aware of their roles and responsibilities.

The first process is the online application form, the application form is often the initial means of communication between a graduate and an employer. This is also an opportunity for a graduate to make an effective impression to progress within the selection process of the company. I was very comfortable with this part of the process as previously in this module we had to complete an application form for one of our assessment’s. So having previous experience helped me clearly answer the questions in detail highlighting the past work experience I can bring to the company. After doing more research on Enterprise I was found that the company is looking for graduates with certain skills these included team working, self-management and business & customer awareness skills, so by including these skills in the application form and demonstrating these skills helped me finish the first part of the application form without difficulty.
