Reflections are expected to be personal and will not be shared with anyone else. Reflections can include topics that have been discussed in class, issues you have faced themselves in the workplace, things you have read about in the news, it’s basically open.
However, you need to think about your response. You will NOT get a good grade just for “answering all the questions”…that’s not how it works…I want to hear what you have to say, what are your beliefs, and more importantly why do you believe them? Be sure to use examples from your work life to help support your ideas and show me where you are at this moment in time. Those who write thoughtful, comprehensive, and detailed reflections can expect to receive higher points than those who write surface-level summaries.
Reflection questions:
What characteristics, skills, knowledge, etc. do you think contribute to a successful employee? Why?
Think about at time in which you applied for a job…what was the process like? Do you feel it was fair? What could have been done differently?
Think about a time in which you received a performance review …what was the process like? Do you feel it was fair? What could have been done differently?
