Reflective Diary

1) Background and Reflection
Background and reflection: A brief introduction to the context of your placement (200 words)
As we all know that placement is all about the determination of the job to which an accepted candidate
who went for interview is to be assigned as per his/her qualification, expeirne and skills (Kauffman and
Lloyd, 2019). The context of placement and work based learning is the hot and interesting topic which is
explained by people in education studies. The present study will be based on reflection part of placement.
When I went for interview in the tesco plc company as a human resource manager I was asked to complete
task given by interviewer I scored higher than the other candidate which makes me more confident to
achieve my academic success and professional goals. I was went through group discussion round which
helped me a lot as I am able to understand the importance of collaboration and teamwork. I think
placement is one of the most important thing in students life because it creates lots of job opportunities for
students who recently passed from their graduation and post graduation. Even experience people takes
part in interview process in order to get placed. By having placement process, students like me can easily
achieve growth as I have learned so many new things which I was not knowing before.
2) Preparation Week 1 & 2 (Placement Launch)
Details should be provided about the elements of the placement preparation programme which you engaged
with.
Learning Experience: What did you do? What did you learn from the sessions? How well do you think you
participated? (100 words)
As this was my first placement in this company, I am focusing on gaining insight into a particular area of
human resource to determine if it is suitable career choice for me. I know that many factors can influence
my placement experience and types of it such as changing selection pattern. During the placement process I
was tasked with group discussion on the topic of importance of employee engagement. With my team
members I have crack this round which helps me a lot to understand as I learn how employee engagement
and teamwork can complete task and achieve goals in the organisation.
What went well? What went not so well? Why? How can you assess this? (100 words)
I was even tasked with quiz in which me and my 4 teammates were asked to give correct answer from the
given options of the questions related to importance of communication skills. But one thing I was feeling
awkward about was that during the placement process i noticed that women are still considered less than
means that even in my past experience I was not allowed to take big tasks of the company because I am a
female staff. Despite I am having higher education level I was always pushed behind just because of gender
inequaity issues at workplace and learning place like schools and colleges.
