REFLECTION OF BLOG TASK

Assalamualaikum...

            As for me who already have experience in writing blog, it will lead to no difficulties to manage the blog special for English.  This is because basically, I knew how to use blog.  Our lecturer, Sir Ghazalli asked us to create own blog for the purpose of posting some of the assignments in the blog.  Using blog actually will not lead to any problem since now we are in globalization era which power of internet is now only in our hand.  But sometimes the problem exists due to internet connection problem.  But, overall I think blog is another way used that I guess is relevant nowadays.  Students are now freely to submit assignment through blog without any payments. It also help us to share knowledge easily.

REFLECTION TOWARDS DIGITAL PORTFOLIO

Assalamualaikum..

            When it comes to digital portfolio, we are actually allowed to use any method to present portfolio besides than power point.  For example, we can use Flash to present our portfolio.  This can encourage our creativity to present portfolio.  Recently, I only used power point to present my portfolio.  I was not so happy with my digital portfolio because it is not attractive enough for me or maybe for the audience.  This is because the ‘hyperlink’ I made also was not working during the presentation.  It happens maybe because too much hyperlink until I forgot when and where I need to click to go to continued slide. It actually showed that I not mastered the slide.  So, for the improvement later I can use another kind of medium to present my portfolio and improve the skills of using power point.

REFLECTION TOWARDS ORAL PORTFOLIO

Assalamualaikum..

            I was not felt so happy with the way I presented my digital portfolio.  This is because I am not really ready to present it actually. I believed I have gained some confidence at the beginning of the presentation but it lost as I looked my power point was not so good to be presented.  It was the common kind of presentation using power point.  Later on, I should use more creative way to present my portfolio.  For example, I can use flash to present my portfolio.  This actually can help the interviewer to be attracted with my digital portfolio.  Not only that, make yourself prepare if you want to gain confidence while presenting the portfolio later.  Besides, make sure you already master the content of portfolio in order to help you to present portfolio smoothly.

REFLECTION ON LETTER OF APPLICATION

Assalamualaikum...

            Honestly, I only know that we need to have some kind of letter of application when we want to apply for a job.  From the class, I knew how to build letter of application.  Lecturer also taught me on how to design letter of application according to right format.  Letter of application must mention about the position offer by company. Then, it followed by skills or experience gained that individual can share as long as it related with the position that we want to apply.  Lecturer reminds us not to be too boastful while you were sharing your experience as it can show your bad personality.  It will lead the interviewers to think twice before take you as their employee.  So, let us sharing our experience in a manner way and not too over and admit you are the best whereas your personality show otherwise.  So, be ware with word we are using in job application.

REFLECTION OF CURICULUM VITAE (CV)

Assalamualaikum..

            There are many examples of layout of curriculum vitae (CV) if we search it in internet.  Honestly, I have my own resume as I had submit it for the purpose of applying part-time job in SPACE UTM.  But, I modified a little bit in content and updating the CV because it was the CV that I made since last year.  Through class, Sir Ghazali taught us on how to build CV.  He did mention what should include in resume and what should not be include in it.  Sir also mentioned about the right arrangement of the job experience in CV.  He said, we need to write the latest of experience in working at the top and follow by old working experience.  We actually can create a creative CV.  But it depends on what job that we are applying with.  For example, if we are applying a job of professional photographer, we can submit printed CV in the form of DSLR camera.  That is how we can present our creativity through CV. 

REFLECTION TOWARDS MYLINE

Assalamualaikum..

            Whenever lecturer of English subject ask students to assignment through Myline, it may lead to feel like “OMG, I am so lazy to go to Myline website”.  It just like a ‘hard task’ for us when it comes to ‘do assignment in Myline’.  But actually, there are some advantages of doing assignment in Myline website.  Only after we were ask to do assignment in Myline we know the existence of Myline website.  Besides that, through Myline we can know current contest publish in Myline held by Ministry of Education.  In terms of task, we are required to response with two topics out of 3 topics selected by lecturer.  I selected 2 topics which are 1) emotional intelligence in workplace and 2) Fresh graduates with an attitude? I did explain my point of view in that topic selected.  I also include some of the examples for the topic to increase the understanding.  

REFLECTION TOWARDS MOCK INTERVIEW

Assalamualaikum..

            I am sure, only certain of students did experience in attending interview in an organization to apply for a job.  So that, for those who are not yet attending any interview before, may face some difficulty for mock interview task.  It same goes to me because I only have an experience in attending interview to join a Human Resource Development Club (SMART) in UTM.  I have no experience in attending interview that related to applying some job.  So, during the interview session, I am totally nervous and sometimes it will lead to blank at all.  But, the key to avoid nervous is by fully preparing yourself before the interview session.  Honestly, I guess most of us were too aware in answering the questions because they know all the response will be rate by the lecturer.  This kind of behavior may not help them to present their ideas well.  However, overall of the mock interview sessions is fine.  It just us that need to do something to improve the way how we answer the interview questions as it will prepare us to face the real interview later.
