Jessica

Due to start the journey on 11 November, anyone who's on the same boat or has been through the process, would be grateful to learn from you, either buddy up for moral support or headsup from your previous experience. Thank you in advance!

    The candidate guide is full of little hints and tips if you read it a few times over.

    Hi Gemma
    I'm an assessor with the CIPD, so congratulations on starting your Experience Assessment journey :)
    Yes - the Candidate Guidance Pack is your 'go to' document for detailed info on all steps through EA. Particularly useful are the example schedule to help you plan your way through the assessments and also the guidance on 'impact' or 'adding value' (there's also some live examples of this at the end of the guide that I know candidates find really helpful).
    Also the resources in the portal will help you to complete certain questions, so make sure you check those out.
    My top tips:
    1. Read the candidate guidance doc thoroughly.
    2. Plan your time out.
    3. Brain dump your ideas for examples of your work from the last 5 years and then filter to use your best, most relevant ones.
    4. Draft your responses in word first so you can easily edit
    5. Focus on the impact your work has had.
    Hope this is helpful and good luck with the next steps!
