“Sell yourself.”
That was the task proposed to us throughout the course of the year, a gentle coercion for us students to undergo a journey of self discovery. To extend beyond what we know ourselves to be, and highlight the needs of what we wish to be. Not only did delving within myself help outline my interests, capabilities, and aptitude, but also helped me distinguish myself from the next eager business student beside me.
Referring to my rather distasteful, yet ironic title, learning how to effectively project myself towards a future employer or business partner was perhaps the most monumental of learning outcomes I discovered from my time in COMM 299.
Afterall, business is about the exchange of goods or ideas with one another to maximize one’s profits. If you can’t convince someone to respect (avoiding the word “like” as that is a completely different story) you as an individual, how do you expect them to respect the work you do?
But otherwise, thank you Pia! And COMM 299 🙂 It was a tremendous year and a great start to my four years here at UBC!
