it is up to you to make these choices.
Part B. Based on the state of your current CV (as of date of writing) and the job opportunity
you are interested in applying for, pragmatically reflect on what you can do in the following
one year to improve your CV and position yourself as a suitable candidate for the position.
Note: the maximum word count for part B is 500 words. A small number of Harvard-style
references is expected. References will illustrate your research about the job / organisation /
sector and use of reflective models, if any. Remember to refer directly and honestly to your
