Extract from my reflection on past experiences and their relation to academic communications

In my academic communications communications reflection 1 I related my past experiences of being employed in the construction industry to my studies at Macquarie University. I did this by showing that both of these endeavours had a focus on integrity and honesty in work done. “An example of these shared values is trust, which is necessary in construction, as it is in academia; I find I cannot work effectively if I can’t trust others around me to work safely, and similarly I could not produce meaningful academic work if I could not trust others to uphold academic standards.” is an extract that showing how I was able to draw together similarities in ethos between the two different occupations.
