Last week was filled with variety and creativity. I helped at the Teaching Fair on Monday and assisted in setting up, replenishing food trays, collecting tickets and building the employer packs with my newly designed feedback forms. The day was busy and the tasks straight forward but this helps understand the importance of everyone pulling together and remaining flexible during the event itself so that it runs smoothly. I also manned the Careers & Employability welcome stand for a large portion of the event and spoke about the different services we offer. Following the event, I constructed an email to all PGCE students and attached an online version of the student feedback survey I had built. I took the opportunity to get creative and import logos and colour schemes to make it as professional as possible. This got approved and was sent out 3 days after the fair. Although I think incentives are needed to encourage more responses I was pleased to have 37 replies by Friday morning.
Also this week, I was reworking my Careers Services forms – making them more specific to each service, whether it be a workshop, a coaching session or a mentoring relationship. These will be sent off for approval early next week.
On Thursday I produced an up to date poster round write up following my trip around campus the previous week – and also started analysis on the teaching fair feedback from employers. According to the team the structure of my analysis with tables and graphs has not been produced before. The idea is that with the help of others on the team we can begin to develop my structure into a report that can be used to measure the success of each event. The fact that my team are so open to change and willing to listen and develop my ideas is refreshing and exciting and it is giving me the confidence and skills I need to launch my career.
