4. Why are documents important?

5. Uploading documents to your Kloodle profile is a simple and
creative way to define who you are. It can demonstrate your:
• Written communication
• Creativity
• Independence
• Time Management
Including an essay or piece of classwork for example, might show an
employer all of these skills.

6. Which types of documents would an
employer most value?

7. There is no easy answer to this, as there is an infinite combination of
documents that would add value to your profile. Examples include:
• A piece of classwork
• EPQ
• Newspaper articles
• Spreadsheets
• Evidence of Extension Reading
• Certificates from Extra-Curricular activities
• Sound files of music you’ve composed

8. Before you upload a document, ask yourself – what does this say
about me?
If you can’t think of anything, ask somebody else. Your family and
friends will definitely be more positive about your achievements than
you are.
The ability to study independently is definitely a good skill to have
as employers want to employ people with initiative and people who
can think of new and creative ideas.
You might upload a ‘before’ and ‘after’ test result. This will
demonstrate resilience and determination.

10. How can I stand out from the crowd?

11. You’ll be surprised what your Drama Certificate or your English
Literature essay can say about you.
Everybody thinks that their own interests and talents are less than
impressive and that other people are far more interesting.
Something that you might consider to be boring and mundane could
really catch the attention of an employer.

12. Your History essay or your calculation in Physics could spark an
interesting conversation with an employer at a job interview.
You never know who will be interviewing you, so you need to be
honest about your interests to give yourself the best chance of
standing out.

14. What if employers don’t think my work
is good enough?

15. Employers look for ways to credit your work. They are not
looking for ways to take ‘points’ off you if they don’t quite
agree with some of the points you have raised or the
arguments you have used.
They will not be assessing your work like an examiner;
they will be more interested in the skills that your work
illustrates and how you will add value to their company.

16. Having the initiative to upload a document in the first place
will show your confidence, which is a respected skill to have
in any job. No matter what you think of your own work, there
will be employers out there that think it is great – just have
confidence in yourself.
