by Nurul Nabila binti Yusoff (AH100138)

Well, having an application letter attached to your curriculum vitae is a must as an application letter is where you will be expressing your dream position to the organization. There are format in writing the application letter as it is a formal letter to be sent to the organization. While writing this application letter, I have to first doing homework on which company am I going to choose to work at. As for my group, we chose The Zone in Johor Bahru. At the very first paragraph of the application letter, I wrote about the position I am going to apply for and where did I notice the advertisement. Besides that, Sir Ghazali did remind us on how to write a very good application letter. One of it is we have to write about our qualifications and also, some of our personalities that suit that position. Plus, it is also important to state that we are looking forward to meet the director to discuss about the employment.

My Reflection on Curriculum Vitae Task

by Nurul Nabila binti Yusoff (AH100138)

A curriculum vitae is such an important item for those who are looking for jobs. As for me, I feel very blessed and happy as in this subject, we are going to learn on how to make a nearly-perfect curriculum vitae for the sake of our future job interview. There are a few important things that must be written inside the curriculum vitae other than my own personal details. For instances, I have to enlisted my previous schools, results and also the achievements I received along the year of studies. Besides, I have to state the references of mine at the very last of the written resume. It is important to put in someone who is influential and most importantly, he/she knows you. This is because, the company might have to contact those respective persons to ensure that you did everything you had mentioned in the curriculum vitae.

My Reflection on MyLine Task

by Nurul Nabila binti Yusoff (AH100138)

One of the tasks given by Sir Ghazali to us is we have to participate ourselves in the MyLine portal. The task is quite easy as we only have to give our opinions or comments on the topics listed. We have to choose to write opinions on two out of three topics given. As for me, one of the topics I chose entitled, ‘The Attitude of Fresh Graduate When Attending Interview’. After reading the article, I am strongly disagree to the writings as it stated that fresh graduates nowadays are very demanding and have extremely bad personalities. As for me, not all of the fresh graduates are behaving that way, and plus, each of us are having different type of personality. The author cannot simply claim that all fresh graduates are bad just because of one spoil graduates. Besides, graduates must possess good manners in order for them to be hired by the company.

My Reflection on Digital Portfolio Task

by Nurul Nabila binti Yusoff (AH100138)

During the final week of class, each of us was assigned by Sir Ghazali to create a digital portfolio about ourselves. In this digital portfolio, there are a few things need to be included.  For instances, my profile, educational background, achievements throughout my life and also working experiences. As for my digital portfolio, I made it by using power point and I really enjoyed myself while finishing it. This is because, I have to make it creatively and colourful, to ensure that it will attract the audiences’ attentions. I made my power point slides attractive by inserting pictures of mine and also the use of unique, attractive fonts was really helpful. I made it for only 10 slides as during the day of the presentations, we need to present only on the important points and also on the reflective parts as the time is very limited.

My Reflection on the Interview Session

by Nurul Nabila binti Yusoff (AH100138)

Taking this subject of English for Career Search needed us to go on mock interview. This mock interview was only conducted in class and the interviewers and interviewees were among us, the class members. Sir Ghazali gave us the guidelines and he was the one who gave us the first and last question for the interview session. Well, talking about the interview, even it is only conducted among us, and of course we have known each other very well, but still, the feeling of butterfly-in-the-stomach is still there. The questions given were not too hard as most of it only needed us to give our own opinions. As for me, I believe that having early preparations, physically and mentally, would definitely help us in going through this mock interview. Even it is a mock one, but still, it would really help us in preparing ourselves for the real interview soon after we graduated.

My Reflection on Oral Portfolio Task

by Nurul Nabila binti Yusoff (AH100138)

The digital portfolio has finished, and now, it is the time to present it to everyone. Each of us was given only 5 minutes to present our portfolio and of course, I have to use that limited time to talk about the portfolio and most importantly, I must give some reflection on the achievements or activities I joined. Well, talking about the achievements made me think of the sweet memories and I was all excited to share it with my dearest friends. Regarding the marks, Sir Ghazali gave us marks based on our slides and also our presentation. While delivering the presentation, I remembered an advice given by a friend of mine. She said that, presentation is not only about your attractive slide shows. But, it is all about you presenting yourself. The way you are going to make sure everyone locks their attentions to you, it is the most important after all.

My Reflection on Blog Tasks

by Nurul Nabila binti Yusoff (AH100138)

As for this subject, each of us needs to have a blog account and we need to write our reflections on each tasks given by Sir Ghazali. The tasks given included preparing our own curriculum vitae, application letter, career plan, MyLine, interview, oral portfolio, digital portfolio and definitely, the blog itself. As for me, I love writing reflections very much as the feeling is like writing in your diary. And the best thing is, I will get excellent marks if I write it well. In this reflective writing, I have to write about my feelings, reactions and most importantly, what are the benefits gained from the tasks given. This blog has given me the opportunity to express myself, and also to write everything I learnt from the tasks given to me. I do enjoy myself a lot during the class, having such a sporting, cool lecturer and, most importantly, I gained a lot of knowledge on how to prepare myself towards facing the competitive world of having my own career. 

reflection of career planning

Besed on what i had learn about career plan, I know that it is very important to have our own career plan for the future.  It is because when we make plans it will facilitate our career path in the future. Furthermore, with the career planning, I can be more aware and understand my future job description that I would apply later. I will also be able to know the qualifications needed for my job position depending on my career development phrases. To do the presentation I had search more about the career and ask from the professional so that I can really understand my job to be. It actually help me to do preparation before went to the real job after graduate. Actually it is difficult for me to deliver the presentation in front of many people. So I take this as a challenge to improve my confidence level. Finally, my advice to everyone is to plan their career effectively and do more study and need to fully understand the job before we meet the job. “choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”

MY REFLECTION ON CAREER PLANNING SUBTOPIC

By NURUL NABILA BINTI YUSOFF (AH100138)

From this career plan activity, I can now have ideas on what I am going to be in the future. To be frank, previously, I do have the plan but it is not that clear. Now, praise to Allah as I can see vividly my own career process and of course, it helps me in planning my own life. Before deciding on to be a lecturer, I did some homework, go Google here and there and also, I met with Mr Faizal, our faculty’s Assistant Registrar, and asked him about the career as a UTM lecturer. One thing to be considered while choosing your career is, you have to take into account your passions and whether you enjoy doing it or not. Earning money is something, but earning money while enjoying it is definitely something. Life is like an ice cream, so let us enjoy every licking of it!

Hi and assalamualaikum everyone. I hope you'll may have a great day in this mid-semester break ^_^

First of all, I will reflect about career plan that I was presenting last week. The career plan actually is quite good for those who want to plan their job in future. Before this, I still don't have any kind of job suitable for me in mind. I have some problem to know what skills that I have and suitable to what jobs. When our lecture Mr Ghazali asked to do a career plan as a requirement in this subject give me some sort of idea and planning to my own career. From the assignment given, I think have gained some knowledge about the job details, job requirement, company details, and most important thing the career development. The career development itself had shown me how much that I need some experiences or skills to move up to the next level of job. Although I don't have real ambitious about future jobs at this age and its really funny when at young age have high ambitious even don't know what skills needed for that job. Maybe I still don't have enough skills as I have many weaknesses rather than strength. I knew some others people whose they are really good and really  impress me about their strength that I don't have it. I'm not really good at all like them.

But I will try my best to furnish my weaknesses become good strength like them or even better. I will use this learning from career plan in order to ensure I would carefully planning for my future career.

Last but not least, the quotes from Galileo Galilei which he say that " You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself".

On the topic of career plan, I have learnt about how to plan, manage and forecasting the future job that I want to deal with. A good planning must have few stages that starting from bottom until up. It should consist of short and long term goals and also processes to go through in order to achieve my dream job. Before planning for the career plan, I have to know my abilities area and what type of job that was suitable for me. Since I have to do a presentation in front of the class, I have search the information that was related with the career that I want to develop. It helps me a lot since I can be prepared and get to know more about the job and be familiar with the tasks assigned for that job. Lastly, I believe that what I have learnt in this class will help me in the future when I enter the working environment.

           Basically, there are so many things I learnt in English for Career Research class for past 8 weeks such as personality test, survey in the organization, professional interview and so on. All these activities really gave me a good knowledge as well as some funs. The most challenge part for me is career plan presentation. I know this is a chance and time for me to know detail about my dream job which I never try to know it before and I cannot just simply present a job that I have not interest in the class. Therefore, this time I took an effort to conduct a short interview with the person who works in the organization that I would like to work in the future. So that, I could give a good presentation in the class. Lastly, I believe that all the things that I have learnt in Career Research class surely help me for my future career. And I’m really appreciating it.

REFLECTION FOR CAREER PLAN

NASUHA BINTI ABDULLAH (AH100125)

What I’ve learned in this topic is about how I want to plan, manage and prepare on my future career. Career plan consists of long term and short term objective, the process, and the explanation on each of the job. When I start to plan my career, I need to explore first about my interest and abilities in what area. Then I’ll know what job suit to my personality. Through this planning, I can design properly on what I going to achieve in my future career. When I presented my career plan in front the class, I felt nervous because this assignment is for individual assessment, so I believe on myself that I can do it! Whatever is it, I must try my best to do this presentation with great success. However, I can’t finish the presentation on time, I felt disappointed with that. But, it’s ok. At least, I’ve try my best to finish this presentation. Regarding the marks that have been given from lecturer, I feel that it’s ok for me, but I must put an effort to do more in the future presentation. 

REFLECTION FOR CAREER PLAN

Career Plan? Is that important? At the beginning, I thought career plan, is one of the topic that we must learn in career research. But, after Sir Ghazali explained and asked us to do our career plan.   Now, I knew that career plan is important, and actually it is very important especially to student like us.  Because, honestly I say that I don’t have any idea on what I want to be in future.  It’s like just follow the flow.

But, after I got the assignment from Sir Ghazali, I know that I must find one job that suitable with my personality. And, finally I found that I want to be a Police. So, I must know the police job description and the stages. I will start with police inspector and if there have luck, I will establish my own business. Career plan as guidance to me, based on my strength and weakness, I can make a preparation on what I want to be and achieve long term career goal in future.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish”

-          Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Antoine De Saint-Exupery quotation is a great example of how important is to plan our career to make it become reality. The career outline I have drafted after identified my strength and weaknesses provide me with big picture about my future career development phrases. 

The career outline provides me the path that I need to take to achieve my dream job. Besides, the career planning presentation encourages me to improve my communication skill and also increase my confidence in delivering my presentation in front of class. Furthermore, I also get insight about the responsibilities and skill that I needed to be successful in my future jobs.

In a nutshell, the detailed career outline help me to understand my career prospects and encourage me to work harder toward achieving my short term and long term goals. Finally, I recommend everyone to always have a plan to know the next step in achieving your goals.

On the previous English for career search class, we were assigned to present on career planning. It is very important because when we make plans, it will facilitate the career path in the future. Furthermore, with the career planning, I can be more aware and understand my future job description that I would apply later. I will also be able to know the qualifications needed for my job position depending on my career development phrases. To achieve my career plans that I created, I will be ready from now and plan my next move to achieve what I planned. Besides that, it is difficult for me to deliver my presentation in front of many people. So I take this as a challenge to improve my confidence level. Finally, my advice to everyone is to plan their career by identifying their personality, weakness and strength because it will help in achieving career goals.

Most of students do have their own career plan.  It same goes with me.  With career plan, I can start to develop some skills that related with the HR field.  The assignment has taught me how to plan career and what kind of skills that are needed for that job.  From all the presentation, I looked that different people have different kind of dream or job that they want to achieve.  And of course different kind of job require a different kind of skills and qualifications.  As for me who wants to be as HR Assistant for the first job, at least I must develop the skills of using computer application starting from now.  It will be easier for me in the future to get the job and show good performance.  During my previous presentation I saw a lot of weaknesses.  It begins well but at the end of the presentation I am not able to conclude well.  I also need to develop critical thinking so that, I can answer easily and confidently when lecturer asks the questions.

Assalamualaikum....
Hello....

In my opinions, based presentation of career plan, there are many benefits that I getting from that activity. After I graduated about 2 years later regarding the career plan, I will more prepare about my dreams jobs. I wish and hope that I can fulfill the flow of my career plan starting to become HR executives until to become General Manager in the future.  During the presentation, I feel more confidence to speak in front and communicate with audiences using English languages. I think the presentation is good because we must speak up and think our own words without looking to notes. Besides that, we also using opening and closing sentences that can grab attention of the audiences such as “how are you today?” or “are you ready to my presentation?”.  I can use it for the next presentation that to make my audiences will more attract to my presentation.

The career planning can be a guideline in my career, for instance after my first job as Human Resource Executive , I will promote Senior Human Resource Executive. Then I will move to the next jobs until I get position as General Manager in the company. So, I must improve the skills that need for perform the job effectively such as communication skill, leadership skill and others.
