Reflection Of Employability And Transferable Skills For Students

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

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?

After reading Lake and Von Baeyer's article, "Tips for Successful Students." I would have to say my strongest characteristic is definitely time management. I have many responsibilities, and I use time management in every part of my work and home life. If I do not use time management in my life, it seems like I do not have enough time to complete my tasks. This leads to chaos in my day. By using time management it makes my day go a lot smoother. I do not want to pull my hair out by the end of the day. What helps me is using an organizer, calendar, and even my cell phone. This helps me keep on track with everything.

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.

I also have the ability to shift gears and go from one job to another or to adjust to different types of environments quickly without losing focus. Working alongside other professionals or alone proficiently are also skills I have acquired as a student.

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.

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.

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

     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

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 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.

Analytical and Research skills: Analytical and research skills are important, as it allows in certain situations find other routes. It is basically the methods of addressing a situation and finding more information about it. This skill is valued by employers as a worker who would be able to analyse a specific situation would be able to know what has happened, and may be though research from sources would be able to find a solution,

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,

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
