Turn experience into portfolio evidence
- 1Name the setting and responsibility.
- 1Describe the student's own action.
- 1Attach output or feedback evidence.
- 1Reflect on result, limitation and transfer.
Key terms
- Career narrative
- Selective account connecting experience, values and future direction. This chapter uses the concept when students frame a direction that can be tested rather than merely declared.
- Career capital
- Skills, relationships and reputation that expand work options. It helps explain the reasoning required to frame a direction that can be tested rather than merely declared.
- Reflection
- Purposeful interpretation of experience to guide future action. Its limit matters because a confident story can hide missing evidence and changing constraints.
- Labour-market signal
- Information employers use to infer capability or fit. This chapter uses the concept when students translate work trends into specific capability and learning choices.
- Automation
- Use of systems to perform or augment tasks. It helps explain the reasoning required to translate work trends into specific capability and learning choices.
- Adaptability
- Capacity to learn and respond effectively as conditions change. Its limit matters because headline forecasts do not determine one person's career outcome.
- Value
- Principle influencing what a person treats as important. This chapter uses the concept when students connect self-knowledge to behaviour and external evidence.
- Strength
- Capability or pattern that can be applied effectively in context. It helps explain the reasoning required to connect self-knowledge to behaviour and external evidence.
- Transferable skill
- Capability usable across multiple settings with adaptation. Its limit matters because a preference inventory is not proof of performance.
- Artefact
- Work product or record used as evidence. This chapter uses the concept when students select artefacts that substantiate distinct capability claims.
- Curation
- Purposeful selection, ordering and explanation of material. It helps explain the reasoning required to select artefacts that substantiate distinct capability claims.
- Authorship
- Accurate attribution of who produced which part of an output. Its limit matters because a polished group output can obscure the student's own contribution.
