Detailed Brief for Individual Assignment 

Assignment Title: REFERRED/DEFERRED Assignment:

10% of the overall mark is awarded for submitting a reflection on activity in Unit 9 or Unit 10 
 
A 500-word (+/- 10%) individual reflection informed by participation in the unit and tutorial activity for Unit 9 or Unit 10. You are asked to select one of the concepts/tools/exercises/or career development resources introduced in Unit 9 or Unit 10 and reflect on how you have used it to develop your self-awareness and/or career plans. 
 
The concepts/tools/exercises/or career development resources introduced in Unit 9 or Unit 10 are: 

• LinkedIn profile building and networking – Unit 9
• Elevator pitch – Unit 9
• Team working – Unit 10 
  Group exercises – Unit 10 

Do NOT include a definition of reflection itself, as this will use up your very limited word count.  You are being asked to reflect on your individual experience only.   
 
Your introductory sentence should tell us which concept/tool/exercise/career development resource you have selected and whether it is from Unit 9 or Unit 10.  You should then tell us: 
 
Why did you select this? – Why did you find this so helpful/inspiring/or thought-provoking? 
 
How have you used this so far? – For example, did you use this to help you with your future success action plan? Or have you used this to build your self-awareness and therefore help you with career development?  
 
How will you use this in the future? – for example, is this something you will regularly return to as part of an annual self-appraisal? Or will this resource help you build specific skills to use in your future career and career development? 
 
Please use business appropriate English throughout.
