7. Reflection

Each of the following mirrors outlines key questions that will help you to reflect on who you are in order to build self-awareness and enable you to respond better to interview questions.

Consider how you would answer the questions. This might be a good thing to return to just before your interview.

Experience

What were your positive / negative experiences from your studies or placements?
What did you enjoy the most / least and what does that tell you?
What did you learn about yourself?

Experience

Strengths

During your academic and work experience which activities did you particularly enjoy?

Which activities never make it off your ‘to-do’ list? Why is that? Perhaps this indicates something that is NOT a strength of yours.
