The perfect travel companion or gift at £12.99!
Gap Years – and indeed all journeys that take place prior to going to university or prior to getting a job – should be great fun.
That goes without saying.
But additionally they can be of great value in ensuring that you get the job you are after or the university place that you want.
This is because both Admissions’ Tutors at university and Personnel Directors in companies not only look at your academic achievements but will also consider you as a person.
Put simply, they are asking: what will this individual bring to our organisation?
In short, they will favour those applicants who have both faced and overcome challenges as well as undertaking the work that is required of them.
For this reason you need to make the most of your Gap Year or your time spent touring. In your application and interview you need to be able to put yourself forward as a person who says, “I planned this, I sorted this out, I overcame these problems, I made this happen.”
Of course, you may have been told in the past that too much talk about “I” isn’t good – but in this case it is essential. You have to be able to write and talk about the details of what you have done and how you have done it.
Which is why you need the Gap Year Journey Planner – to record every detail, not simply to make sure that the year goes according to plan but also to ensure that you have details of those plans which you can then summarise in your application and bring out in your interviews.
You might feel, of course, that you will be able to remember everything – but in reality that is not the case. You really do need to keep a record of every stage of the adventure – and that is what the Gap Year Journey Planner enables you to do.
