Two things that I have really learn from this module are oral presentation skills and interview skills.
This module requires a lot of presentation which includes the formal and the trial run. With each practice, I can feel myself improve little by little. Feedback and pointers from classmates make me realize what my usual oral presentation is lacking. I now know that my presentation needs to be more enthusiastic and cheerful. Not only that, I am able to witness superb presentations from classmates like Fiona and Sher Lynn. From them, and the feedback given to me by my peers, I am able to improve my presentation skills, which I am happy and thankful for.
I think that it is good that this module includes a mock interview. Just from that mock interview alone, I now feel more confident towards job interviews. This, I think, is due in part to my group mates Sher Lynn and Qi. Both of them can speak really well and can handle whatever tough questions that are thrown their way. Sher Lynn with her numerous job interview experience and Qi with his internship experience provide me with valuable and important tips. These includes how to answer interview questions in a way that is honest and diplomatic, how to speak using a more professional instead of a more casual way, how to inject my personality into the answers and not just giving textbook style answers. A majority of these tips have also been covered by Dr Jaidev in class.
All in all, this module has provide me with many benefits. I will definitely recommend it to my friends:)
