This is my last activity that I need to participate in this English subject for this semester. I need to create my portfolio and present it to the whole class. In the portfolio, as I just mention before, I have include my profile, personalities test, education background, cu-curriculum activities and working experience. During this presentation, I am not feeling well and I couldn't focus on my presentation. I feel very disappointed, sad, regret and feeling down because that was my worst presentation. But still I am excited to hear other’s presentation. However, let bygone be bygone. In the future, I should be more ready and prepared in whatever situation and conditions will occur.

Based on my experience, completing this portfolio is some kind of interesting and quite unique. This because I need to think and recall all my memories towards the experience that I want to shared with. According to Paulson et al (1991), portfolio is a purposeful of collection of work that exhibit the student’s efforts, progress and achievement in one or more areas. 

I have understood that the portfolio will show the students improvement in the knowledge, skills or abilities after they have gone through in some activities.

INTERVIEW.

Interview session is most stressful part for me in this class. Why? Maybe because of I am not really prepared myself for the interview. It seems I have lost my point and couldn’t do well in providing appropriate answers. However, it is very interesting and useful for me as an early exposure before the actual job interview sessions after my graduation. The lessons that I should put in my mind, I need to be more prepared with popular interview questions, be more confident, upgrading my communication skills and personalities, and find out all information related to the organization and job applied. This interview is extremely required participation from all party, in which all students will be involved in the interview and have opportunity to becoming the interviewer and also interviewee.

COVER LETTER @ APPLICATION LETTER

COVER LETTER @ APPLICATION LETTER.

Based on my understanding, application letter is a formal written document that will be attached with the curriculum vitae or resume of the applicant, which is consists of name and address of applicant, date, name and organization address, salutation opening, qualification and experience that match the job requirements, request the interview or feedback and include details contact such as email address or telephone number. 

The use of this application letter is to help the applicant in convincing a potential employer to accept job applications by explaining the quality of the experience and qualifications possessed with a clearer description. In this class, I have learnt and practice to write a proper application letter, which is really useful for me to apply it in the future.

CURRICULUM VITAE @ CV

Based on my understanding, Curriculum Vitae or CV are written document that briefly describe the details of writer personal, qualification and experience, which is very important for those who are seeking and tend to apply any job vacancy especially for fresh graduated students. An appropriate CV must consists of details personal information, career objective, academics qualification, extracurricular activities, working experience, skills and need to state referee. 

The CV must be written in short and simple words, give accurate information and need to regularly update the changes of the information, so that can simplified the interviewer job. For my opinion, it’s good for students to learn writing this proper CV for their own future use because CV can be consider as identity or describe personality of a person.

MyLine

MyLine.

Nowadays rapid changes of technology bring the various types of advance learning method, which is using computer technology and via online. For example, MyLine. Based on my previous experience completing MyLine activities, it is quite different because this semester the activities required us to give an opinion, share the ideas and need to think out of box related to the topics that have already been given. There are three topics that are been given and we need to choose only two topics. However, I have completed the activities by answering all the questions. This happen because of I couldn't open the instruction due to the weak connection of networking. From this experience, we can conclude that there are several disadvantages of the application that should be considered and need to improve in the future such as the misunderstanding that will happen due to the low of network connection.

CAREER PLAN REFLECTION.

NOR AINA NAZIRAH BINTI MOHAMMAD NASIR   (BH100043)

Career planning can define as career planning activities related to the individual, to keep themselves equipped with the appropriate knowledge, skills and abilities reliably in a chosen career field. Individuals should know their personalities and interests to ensure they choose the right career path. My career plan start with HR Assistant manager, second HR Manager, next HR Director, then move up to CEO and the lastly, I want to become a successful business woman in tourism area. When I deliver my career plans, I was not satisfied because time is very short, and my slide is too long also I did not give the introduction and the closing as desired by the lecturer. It makes me a little disappointed. However, it is useful to be used as a guide in the future, so that I can do a better and complete presentation. The best way of learning is through experience.
