Avoiding Common Mistakes in Career Episode Writing

It takes accuracy and focus to prepare a Career Episode Report for Engineers Australia’s Competency Demonstration Report (CDR) submission. This blog lists some of the most typical errors that engineers make at this crucial stage and offers advice on how to prevent them.

Common mistakes include:

• Creating excessively lengthy reports
• Using vague statements
• Using excessive technical jargon
• Failing to focus on individual contributions
• Falsely embellishing or including fabricated details

Engineers Australia rejects your CDR Report on the basis of a lot of criteria, which can be deemed as trivial but critical errors, or in more casual terms, ‘a rookie mistake’. 

Engineers can avoid these mistakes by:

• Keeping your CDR Report within the recommended word limit
• Using specific details (Highlighting your project in a more specific manner)
• Striking a balance between technically difficult words and simple sentences 
• Writing clearly formatted sentences
• Highlighting personal achievements of the project and any innovative approaches/steps you took for the project
• Only write accurate and relevant information; falsifying any information is subject to ban/suspension from Engineers Australia

In conclusion, by following the recommended guidelines, engineers can ensure that their Career Episode Reports effectively showcase their competencies and increase their chances of successful assessment by Engineers Australia.
