This is my final semester in NUS. In view of the current economic situation, I am afraid that I would not be able to get a job when I graduate in a few months’ time. I have not had the experience of writing a resume before, neither have I gone for a job interview since all my part-time jobs were previously recommended to me by friends. I have always wanted to take this module ever since I saw the module introduction last semester. However, due to the high bidding points last semester, I was not able to get the module. Therefore, I was really excited when I finally got into this module in my final semester.

The main reason why I wanted to take this module so badly is because I felt that this module will allow me the opportunity to learn how to write a good resume and conduct myself well and effectively during a job interview. These skills, I felt, would be important if I wanted to secure my ideal job. In addition, I want to be able to better my articulation skill, to communicate to people more effectively so that they may understand what I am talking to them about. I have been working as a part-time facilitator for leadership trainings and sometimes I realized that the way I explained certain things to the participants can be a little unclear. This results in a communication gap. I hope that during this course I will get to work on the way I speak.

I am also looking forward to learning more about writing skills especially in the writing of formal emails and letters. I want to be able to write effective formal emails without depending constantly on the help of others.

Last but not least, I am definitely looking forward to learning how to take notice of the non-verbal cues when communicating so that I may become a more sensitive person. Looking at the current class syllabus and the textbook, I believe that this module is going to help make my final semester a promising and fruitful one.
