19th September – Introduction to 2nd year


Coming back to learning after the long holiday was a bit difficult, but as we came to know about out new modules that we’re going to learn became exciting, as my main aim in my career is to work in an HR department and all the modules during this year will help me in gaining knowledge in that. It was exciting to have Jay Glover as a tutor as he taught us last year and himself introduced us to BUSINESS RESEARCH.

In this session, we had to create a new blog which will be used as a means to dicuss and provide overview of what we’ve done in the each session. The real title for the blog is a reflective journal and I’ll be using this to research the project each week in preparation for my research.

We also set up a live binder by visiting www.livebinder.com. This is where I will upload all the research that I will be carrying out during the tenure of this course. It has a number of sections such as my career documents, my career research and my online reflective journal. It also includes a number of “key career planning documents” such as SWAIN Analysis, my competences, common competences, career plan, research proposal and project. It also has a ‘setting up your live binder’ title in case if you’re stuck using the software.
