| Abstract |
This paper explores an integrative pedagogical experiment designed to engage students in making connections across their lives, studies and employment through the process of CV writing as part of a pre-placement module. In order to investigate whether the CV could be used as an integrative learning tool, a case study was carried out in a second year pre-placement module in the BSc Finance degree in University College Cork. It was found that students viewed CV writing as a positive experience in spite of its intensity and focus on selfawareness and that the process of writing a CV was a welcome reflective space for students to assess and reassess their skills, career choices and connections between the different parts of their lives. |
