Proudest achievement:

My proudest achievement is I step out of  a serious disease 2 years ago: I became suddenly deaf. I could barely hear anything except for a really annoying drumming in my ears. I even thought about committing suicide a couple of times during that period. However, my parents, my friends, my teachers and my doctor helped me to survive. I am lucky that I was born into a rich family, so they could afford the treatment for me. But many of kids I know, who could not afford the treatment are still tortured by the deafness and ongoing ear drumming. I do not know why I feel guilt about them. I used to dream about being a doctor who could cure disease and relieve pain from the patient but now I have decided to acquire a degree in commerce. My sense now is that the real disease is the poverty that makes people feels hopeless and apathetic.

What you have learned about yourself in class?

After taking this course, I have learned how to make solid resume, cover letter and effective strategies and tactics for interview and networking. Especially, I learned a lot from the formal interview, such as job analysis, Strengths Quest, CAR, and manners during the interview. Other than that, in tutor class, I share my personal experiences and thoughts with my class mates and get inspired by TA(Nathan)’s talk. With all those experiences I have learned, I build up confident that I can get hired by those companies that I really want to get in.
