Over the course of the past 12 weeks, there are so many life lessons and communication skills that I have picked up from my ES2007S lessons that it is difficult to for me to pinpoint or specify what exactly meant the most to me.
However, I will try my best to summarize what I have learnt along this course in this few short paragraphs.
One of the first things I have learnt is to be a better listener by paying attention to the speaker when he or she is talking about a particular subject matter. This is extremely important so that we do not miss out any important details the speaker may have mentioned.
Another important aspect would be the building of interpersonal skills through our dressing, tone, posture and the way we speak. First impressions do count and these details do partially reveal the kind of person and emphasis we put into our work.
We also learnt about preventing and mitigating interpersonal conflicts by learning about possible scenarios resulting in misunderstandings and that we should never assume a person's character and personality just by observing his outer appearance even before we communicate with him or her.
Next, we learnt how to craft an effective application letter and resume as well as going through mock job interviews while we begin to work on our final project proposal.
Overall, I feel that while there were hard times when all the deadlines began to stack up, the course was fun as we made many friends and this is probably one of the reasons why it stands out from the other courses I have taken in the past. Thanks for the experience everybody and I wish all of you guys all the best in your exams and in your working life(for those graduating :))
Yours Sincerely,
Zi Yang
