Reflection Post

Three months plus have gone by ever since my first blog post for this module. Looking back at my first post, I’m very proud to say that I have gotten most of the things I have set off to achieve by taking this module. I think I have a better understanding of the value of effective communication skills and have since become a more effective communicator. I am now more clear and confident when writing a formal letter and when doing an oral presentation.

In addition, I have finally done up a good resume which I am very happy about. Furthermore, with the essential skills I have gotten in class and the “practice interview”, it increased my confidence level when I went for my actual job interview just a few days back. I am really glad to say that I got a job offered by the company because of the way I presented myself during the interview. The feedback I got from the boss of the company was that I “sold myself”. The position offered was a sales and marketing microbiologist. I am absolutely proud of my achievement. Really thank all my “interviewers” in class for the trial interview and all the feedback they have given me.

I think the oral presentation and group project report had been a truly memorable project as well. With Ariana and Min Huey as my group project partners, I had a really good time and learnt a lot from them. The report gave me the chance to learn about organisation skills and developed my persuasion skills as we had to convince our classmates of our proposed product. Also thanks to Ms Happy’s help, our group managed to twist the project report here and there such that it does not appear as shallow due to the lack of literature review.

In conclusion, I certainly had a great time during the classes. I have learnt a lot of communication skills like watching out for non-verbal cues, writing formal letters and resume effectively. In addition, to present myself confidently for a presentation and interview, in which, I believe will certainly be able to enhance my job experience in the near future.

*Thank you all Group 5 ES 2007S Classmates for the wonderful experience in class. :)
