What I’ve learnt in comm299
Apr 3rd, 2011 by elichan
By attending every comm299 and tutorial classes, I believe I have gained a better knowledge about myself than those who have skipped class and went back home to sleep. The one assignment that has benefited me the most was quite frankly the interview. It shows what I still needed to work on in regards to how to create a good first impression and how to present myself as someone with confidence and enthusiasm for the job that I am applying for. Even though the mark that I got was not enough to fulfill my own expectations, it allowed me to push harder and realize that my mistakes and flaws need to be corrected in order to have a successful job interview.
Something else that I learnt was approach letters. Though I have yet to actually write one, I acknowledge the importance of it and how it will be able to set me apart from others who are also looking for the same job. This shows initiative and I feel that employers are looking for future employees who are not only approachable, but also confident in their work.
