Overview
For this journal, you are building your professional portfolio by working on a résumé for a job aligned to your interest and background.
For this reflective journal, you will submit three parts in a single document.
- A job call/advertisement. Include the full job call with the description and a link to the source. This will be copied and pasted.
- A reflection that includes
- why you specifically chose this job,
- what part of your professional profile matches the job,
- what part of your core competencies section matches the job, and
- what two examples of your C.A.R. statements match the job.
Journal entries are reflective documents that provide personal, thoughtful analyses. Personal reflection and self-appraisal are part of the concept of journaling and will help you articulate what you learn in class and how and why you take in messages the way you do. This is deep learning because it comes from self-analysis. This thoughtful introspection helps you understand the material and your key learnings from it.
Your journal should be 3 to 4 pages; integrate course concepts and provide examples from your experiences that reflect the focus for this week’s journal. Make sure you are using the course materials and citing appropriately.
