1. How do you write?
2. What kind of person are you?
3. What do you really want to do?
4. Do you understand everything about the job/course you are applying for?
5. What can you do?
6. Why do you want to do it?
7. How do you think?

Task A
Ask these questions to another student.

What do you want to do next?
Go into education? What course? GO TO TASK B
Get a job? What job? GO TO TASK C

Task B

Get another student to ask these questions.

When you answer the questions write down notes on the copmputer (use MS word)

Education
• How and when did you become interested in the area?
• Why are you interested?
• What are your career goals?
• What have you learned? How? (in class? through independent reading? hands-on experience?)
• Which classes, books, ideas, or individuals have been most influential, and why? (be as specific as possible)
• Has there been a single "turning point" experience that has led you to pursue further study? If so, what was it, when did it occur, and how did it change your career goals?
• How will your education benefit you on your new course?

NOW GO TO TASK D

Task C

Get another student to ask these questions.

When you answer the questions write down notes on the copmputer (use MS word)

Work
• How and when did you become interested in the area?
• Why are you interested?
• What are your career goals?
• Have you been employed in the area before? If so, what specifically have you learned from that experience? (This is especially important if the work experience was a "turning point" experience.)
• Have there been other particularly meaningful work experiences?
• If so what?

NOW GO TO TASK D


TASK D

Get another student to ask these questions and when you answer make notes as you go along

Personal
• Has a particular experience, situation, or person influenced your decision to pursue your career goals?
• Have you overcome special circumstances or obstacles, whether physical, familial, or economic? If so, what are they, and how has your experience affected you relevant to pursuing your work/studies? (They want to know something about your character, and describing how you have overcome obstacles tells them something useful about your resolve and commitment.)
• What do you consider your most significant accomplishment so far? Why? (This may be a personal, professional, or academic accomplishment.) These are not the only questions you can ask yourself, and they may well lead to other questions particular to your experience.
