- Extract from the Definitive Module Record (DMR), showing 2 learning outcomes. HESS was used to provide the materials to support learners in developing their portfolios for assessment.
- Week 1 learners carried out a Learning Styles questionnaire using the HESS link – and used this to feed into the SWOT analysis for Professional Practice. In week 3 Study Skills covers note-taking and week 4 covers research methods – which are then used to support the Week 4 activity in Professional Practice to research the legal, ethical and regulatory frameworks which are applied in their own organisations. In Weeks 5 & 6 they produced an online presentation – and have been sign-posted to the materials on HESS to develop their presentation skills as appropriate. They evaluate each others presentations online – here’s an extract from the discussion forum,

- Week 13’s topic was to draft a cv. For this the learners were linked in to the UPC Careers Adviser on HESS. Slides from the cv adviser presentation are added here as it takes too long to download.
- “ Does my employability look big in this?” is a guide to writing irresistible CVs, and was developed by the University of Plymouth Careers Service.
- The University’s careers service provides CV writing advice based on the views of graduate employers. Different employers have different preferences. You will improve your CV more effectively by seeking a range of feedback and advice, and then making up your own mind about the advice you accept and the advice you reject.
- You will see this content slide throughout the presentation. The slide show is in five sections. The first explores the principles behind writing a great CV. The second section explains a range of layouts, and which one to use. The third section explains how to write compelling statements that attract job interviews, and how to target employers. The forth section shows you how to remember the skills you developed over the past five years. Finally the fifth section links to more than twenty resources many of which you will have met during the presentation.
