Strongest Transferable Skills:

In this section record the 3 transferable skills that you believe are your strongest. For
each, explain why you believe that it is strong for you and how this will be of value
in your chosen career. Use the results from your Transferable skills audit to help
you identify them.

1. Ability to use a search engine, e.g. Altavista, Google

I belive that this is a strong skill for me because i use browse the internet via different
search engines every single day, for a multitude of different things such as work,
college, entertainment, shopping, general queries, and a lot more. This constant use
makes me very proficient in using it in many different ways to benefit me. This will be
valuable in my future career because i will be using the internet probably every day
for various things such as research among other things, so being proficient in using
will hep with these day to day tasks.

2. Ability to use an internet browser, e.g., Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL

Again I belive that this is a strong skill for me because i use the internet through
different internet browsers every day for many different reasons both formal and
informal. This makes it very easy for me to use it and will be valuable in my future
career because again it will probably be used everyday so by being able to use it will
make me more efficient at work and may even improve the quality of my work.

3. Ability to create, store and retrieve files

I belive that this is a strong skill for me because i have had to do this through school
and college giving me lots of practice with it. Also when storing files i am very
organised which then helps me to quickly find things that i need and means i rarely
lose documents that are important. This will be valuable in my future career because
i will most likely have to store and retrieve important files, so if i can do that
effectively and efficiently then this will reduce wasted time looking for documents,
and reduce the loss of documents so i can better do my job.

Weakest Transferable Skills:


In this section record the 3 transferable skills that you believe are your weakest. For
each, explain why you believe that it is weak for you and how you will improve this
skill to help you in your in your chosen career. Use the results from your
Transferable skills audit to help you identify them.

1. Ability to reference materials using an appropriate system, e.g., Harvard or


Vancouver

I belive that this is a weak skill for me because I do not have much experience
referencing in this format, as i normally just state the website link and when i last
accessed it. This lack of practice and knowledge on these references formats make
this a weak skill for me. I will improve on this skill by researching how to properly
format references in either Harvard or Vancouver referencing styles. I will also start
by using websites which guide you though how to reference in these ways and even
help to produce examples of these references in order for me to property see hoe
they are produced so that i can do it myself.

2. Ability to supervise or direct work of others

I belive that this is a weak skill for me because I again do not have much experience
in doing this correctly i feel. This is because I have supervised people before but
always feel as though i am either helping them too much or too little and cannot
seem to find a happy medium. I will improve on this skill by getting involved in more
group activities as a leader as this will allow to practice supervising others in a
practical way. Also i will ask my manager at my industrial placement about
supervision and how to do it effectively as they will a lot of experiences with this.

3. Ability to take notes, organise them, and integrate them with other sources of
information

I belive that this is a weak skill for me because I mainly take notes when my tutors
are giving out assignments and not in general lessons. This means that i have an
explanation of the assignment and what it means but often forget the in depth detail
about what the assignment is made up of. This cannot all be gaged through research
and presentations and often means that the assignment takes longer to complete. I
will improve on this skill by taking more notes during general lessons instead of just
when assignments are being given out, this will then allow me to use the notes in
lesson as a source of information for my assignment. Also i will again ask people at
my industrial placement for help with this as they will have to take lots of notes
during things like meetings.
