COMM299 – Business Communications

What I’ve Learned About Myself from COMM299

After completing the COMM299 class, I’ve learned a lot of useful things to help guide my path towards creating my career. But most significantly, I’ve also learned a lot about myself and my strengths and weaknesses. While working on my resume, I realized that my experiences have helped strengthen my analyzing and problem solving skills. I have also learned that I would like to improve my communication skills in order to expand my opportunities and career choices. During the time I spent preparing for my interview, I realized that I have many experiences to talk about and demonstrate my skills, but I need to work on confidently and precisely expressing my various characteristics to show what I can bring to the company.

These are only some of the things I’ve taken away from COMM299 class. Although the class required a bit more work and time than I had expected, but I really enjoyed the class and learned many valuable things.

My Greatest Lesson

The greatest lesson I’ve learned from someone else is to set goals in my life. When I was in 3rd grade, my teacher talked about goals one day. At that time, I didn’t really understand the reason behind goals, I didn’t really know how to set good goals for myself, but I nevertheless set some goals to reach by the end of the school year. After that day, I forgot about those goals for the rest of the year, it was not until the end of the year when my teacher asked the class to reflect upon the goals we had set earlier that year. I had already forgotten the goals that I had set for myself by that time.

My teacher then proceeded to talk about the importance and fulfillment of setting goals for myself. She taught me how to set good goals and how to work towards reaching those goals. I learned to set goals with a timeline and check in with myself to make sure that I am meeting my goals regularly. This is my greatest lesson I’ve learned because now I always have something to work towards and I know that I am achieving something I want.
