What have you gained from your work
experience? |
If you are fortunate
enough to have had relevant experience, be able to describe
what you did and achieved in some detail. Emphasise the benefits
of being able to put theory into practice and the insight
you have gained into that field of work.
Don't worry if your work experience is not
directly relevant. Most jobs enable you to develop a host
of personal skills. Take a job such as working in a fast food
restaurant. This can provide evidence of:
- working as part
of a team
- dealing with customers
- presenting a professional
and friendly image
- mention anything
which proves you did a good job e.g. achievements or promotions
Business awareness
Commercial employers
usually also look for business awareness such as:
- customer satisfaction
- quality assurance
- reducing costs
- improving efficiency
- customer satisfaction
- comparison with
competitors
