Gibb’s Reflective model is popular framework for personal reflection and apply in

my feeling while learning that has supported me to develop employability skills. The model
assists me to think systematically regarding the experiences that has experienced by them while
dealing with number of task or situation. In addition, I have examined all my strengths,
weaknesses, driving factors etc. supports me to manage my career plan. The model contains
various stages which are described as follows:
Description

It is the initial stage of the reflection model in which describe about events on which
reflection is given in detail. I am graduating in economic management from the collage. While
studying in collage allocates different tasks to students from the teacher. The reason behind is
that to analyse ability of individual student to deal with future issues. The collage teacher has
allotted one project to me that was needed to complete on time for gaining high scores in
graduation. There was number of students who were working effectively on the project because

prescribed time deadline (Cherkis and Rosciano, 2018). Even I took guidance from my senior
authorities as well while working on the project. The reason behind was that I wanted to make
sure that work that is completed by me must creative and quite different from other students.

things I have experienced while taking lecture class in collage so I was more excited. While
working on the project I experienced various new things which I never faced. For example,
critically analysis of available data, observe patterns and portray logical conclusion etc. it was
quite difficult for me because it was consuming more time for completing report. When I have
analysed all the facts related to my topic then it supported me to improve my knowledge about
different new facts and I wrote logical conclusion of the project. When my project was fully
completed, I felt too much relax. It was great feeling for me that I completed my task in given
deadline.
Evaluation
It is third stage that helps to analyse all things like which went wrong or right that is
required to access that the event was properly accomplished or not. There were numerous things
