This was the first week back of semester 1. We had an introduction to the overall module, which excited me as I prepared for the future. It was daunting, but I am excited overall. we jumped into creating our CV as this is a crucial step to preparing for placement opportunities and future careers. during the lecture, we completed a task as a class and brainstormed the qualities that we think are most important, we grouped and sorted the attributes to get a clearer idea of what was most important. The category with the most notes was the environment section which was vital as we all wanted to have a good environment from the workspace to the co-workers. As it is a placement job that we are looking at I want to be able to learn and collaborate with my coworkers and have a good relationship team.
the second task of the day was to randomly get a post note with a random job on it I had a food critic, so for this challenge, we were in teams of two, and my partner had to ask20 questions allowing them to guess what team, we successfully guesses the correct job, but when it came to mine it was harder because I had never heard of the job therapist, but after the first ten questions I could be more specific on how I could get more information out of my partner to be able to guess correctly I got the job on the last question. I enjoyed this task as it got everyone working in groups again, and it was also a fun activity.
