Programme insight

Show a skill through evidence, not just a label

A broad label such as problem-solving means different things in different settings. Choose an example where you used the skill and explain the task. The example can come from learning, work, volunteering or a personal project.

Make your contribution clear

State what you did, how you approached the challenge and what support you received. In a team project, distinguish your contribution from the whole team’s output. A short, honest explanation is more useful than a long list of claims.

Identify a development edge

Explain what you would improve next time. This gives a potential collaborator a sense of both your capability and your willingness to learn. SPIN’s focus on connecting talent with projects benefits from descriptions grounded in practical evidence.
