Reasons for choosing your career:

3 reasons needed:
2.
 Link it with your major subject

 It’s relevance to your future

career aspirations 3.

 Your interests and/or aptitudes


Day __ Date:
Detailed account of what happened
This should describe what you did on that day. It should also include some of the following: any
training that you received; interactions with staff and/or customers; things you noticed that struck
you as useful or unusual or poor practice.

Be careful not to repeat yourself from day to day: perhaps take a different slant on something.
Don’t be afraid to expand in your descriptions: it’s meant to be a long document.

Evaluation of the Day


How do you think you got on: were you able to carry out all of the tasks given to you? Were they
easy or difficult? What would have made them easier/what would have helped? How do you think
others viewed your performance? Is there evidence to support this (e.g. quotes etc.)?

Overall Evaluation
Would you choose to follow this career? Give at least one reason why/why not. You might consider
the nature of the work, perks of the job, wages, promotion prospects, future work availability in this
area, travel, hours, working conditions etc.

If you said yes, what career path would you need to follow?
If you said no, explain what alternative career path you would follow.
This involves explaining the course, college, points, duration etc. It’s just like the career
investigation.

What did you learn from this placement? Ideally you want to think about the skills and qualities
you may have learned or developed and any knowledge you may have gained.

Now, how would you apply this learning to home, school and community. You need to explicitly link
the learning you had on the placement and then explain how you’ll use that in the areas. I
recommend a different learning for each one, e.g. “Having experienced the world of work, the long
hours and how tired I felt when I got home, I’m now more aware of how my parents feel when they
get home in the evening and I’ll help out more in the house.”
