I have become more self-conscious and sensitive to people’s facial expressions, gestures and non-verbal cues while communicating. I hope I can portray my confidence and sincerity, which all remain to be polished, to people in various future circumstances.
The 7Cs taught have become entrenched in my academic writing, as I find myself focusing on these areas during self and peer editing. The weekly blogging has allowed us to express our thoughts critically while observing the 7Cs and appropriateness in commenting on other posts.
However, instead of scheduling it in a time when everyone is busy with their reports, I feel that more about job resume and application letter can be taught. They are important to most individuals, because employers may make decisions based on applicants’ resumes, without a need for photographs. It would be good if everyone gets a chance to experience being interviewed too.
Doing the survey research report has been extremely humbling and emotionally-straining but has trained my organizational and conflict-solving skills. I would like to thank Beatrice and Kent for their great effort, tolerance and assistance in making me realise the importance of being an efficient team player.
The long hours spent doing seemingly-mundane work have brought bountiful benefits that have yet to be fully explored…
All the best to everyone!
