adequate learning cycle that is as explained below as:
Kolb’s reflective cycle: It is a reflective cycle that is also be known as experimental
learning under which own experience is reviewed, analysed, evaluated in terms of systematically

with this new experience and knowledge is gained as per starting of new initiative with support
of continuous cycle. In this continuous success is attained as per consideration of adequate
situations as in this learning is processed as per improvement of existing skill set and practices
(Griffin and Coelhoso, 2019). It is cycles that assist me to enhanced and improvise higher level
of skills as with this I am able to make continuous level of improvisation by which ability of
mine to enhanced and enlarge working capabilities is increases on repetitive basis and it is as
briefly explained below with support of various stages that is as follows as:
(Source: Reflective model according to Kolb, 2017)
Concrete experience: It is initial stages in which I have maintain conscious and physical
experiences that get diverse and changes as per situations. It makes me realise that it is essential
to learn and reflect systematically learning by which skills and practices of mine get developed.
As in this stage I will start analysing overall situation that clearly describe ability of thinking and
feeling in clear mode. It also assists to encounters and reinterprets the existing knowledge and
experiences that provide transparent abilities of learning under which systematic changes are
implemented on constant basis (Griffiths and et. al., 2018). In this I have analysed about CV
writing and cover letter writing and worked to make clear analysis as with this I have design
personal profile of mine in which relevant work of mine is experienced by which rate of
achievement of task and its accomplishment both get developed. It is usually developed with
support of educational support and it is collected as by gaining and advancing learning so that I
have actually get fitted into the job place that is suitable for my experience, skills, knowledge

about to apply sufficient level of looking and it assist me to reflect better experience and skills of
mine by which I will also get encourage and enlarge certain ability of reader to get read different
detailing of resume. I have induce better transparency within which the direct aim of mine to
impress recruiters as by passing clear application to job advertisement. It is a speculative
approach that is basically be more valuable by which sustained level of importance is processed
by which I am able to make direct interaction and communication by which working potential
and its standards get developed with adequateness (Pouratashi and Zamani, 2019). In this I have
felt to engage sufficient level of opportunities that assist to advanced qualified quality and
standards of job and more commonly it provide contact information, experience, job titles, and
dates of employment, education section, relevant information and position description in clear
manner.

aspect is analysed through which better information is involved as it assist to gain long term
clarity through which moderate amount of changes is addressed and it promote the learning and
writing standards. In this reflective writing as in this I have first make better understanding of
different aspect and analyse it briefly after that get worked to convert that into better writing
skills under which certain notes and document is developed under which clear understanding is
addressed that remain with me for longer period of instance. It is analytical practices in which I
have described about the imaginary and real scene and interaction through which positive level

involvement that offer an appropriate level of overview that helps to make quicker review as per
requirement. I have tries to describe my learning and experience that offer continuous growth
through which sustained level of development is offered on systematic basis. In order to make

experience, academic learning, rigor and tone by which attainment of goal and aim is achieved
with perfection. In support of reflective writing I am able to examine the working experiences by
which sustained exploration abut change, development and growth is offered that is formative in

terms of slight dependency. For this I have make sure to advanced an essay as by making mind
mapping that is parallel supported with arguments, examples, ideas and thoughts with support of
systematic paragraph. I have make an observation as by making clear concern towards
experience by which theoretical learning and understanding also get developed on continuous
basis (Di Gregorio and et. al., 2019).
Abstract conceptualisation: In this stage I have maintain suitable level of stages by which
reflective observation is processed as by profitable level of alteration is induced as by inducing
of better level of sufficiency. In this I make adequate different in between two aspects as like
different and better as improvement is induced by which suitable level of dealing in between
various situation is strategies in clear manner. For this I have experience all the similar situation
by which clear and transparent level of understanding is developed in terms of idea and thinking

and performed as with concern of audience participation. For this I have make formal
understanding about speaking with an individual and other group, face to face and with this

the clear basis by which suitable cycle is developed that furthermore become into concrete
experiences (Nisha and Rajasekaran, 2018). For this I have make adequate level of ideas that
develop adequate level of surround through which rate of happening is generated in regular
basis. In this I have make sure that analytical and critical thinking skills is developed as which I
get breakdown different task into different segments by which rate of complexity is reduced and
activities is divided into smaller tasks by which better level of involvement is processed through
which better level of involvement through which evaluation and formulation of certain
information is progressed in systematic manner. In concern of analytical thinking I have examine
overall information and task as in this different fact and figure get collected under which
balanced statement is provided through which logical identification is addressed as per
relatedness of different effects and its cause. In addition to this I have make sure to modify
critical thinking by which ability of mine to seek clear information as with this it is required for
me to analyse all the alternatives as with this working is completed by making clear conclusion
and forming of various options in systematic manner (Sotiriadou and et. al., 2020). In this
probability to attain clear conclusion as while estimating clear options is developed as for this
research, problem solving, data mining, forecasting, communication, organisation, reporting,
data and metric interpreting skills is developed in constrained mode. In induces sustained level of
knowledge in mine under which possibility to make clear and transparent judgment is addressed
with perfection and adequateness by which probability to maintain clear statement is implies
