Final Reflection

I first heard about ES2007S from my friend, who had taken this module last semester. She told me that we would be taught how to write resumes, and it would be useful since I would be graduating soon. Up till last semester, I had no idea how to write a resume so I decided to heed my friend’s advice.

Reflecting on all that we’ve gone through in this course, I feel like I’ve learnt so much more than just how to write effective resumes and application letters. Not only did I learn useful skills like adopting the 7Cs in writing, creating effective business letters and writing proposals, I also had the opportunity to practise and hone these skills through blogging and the team project.

Other important skills like interpreting nonverbal communication cues, fostering intercultural communication, and building interpersonal communication, were also put into play when we worked in our teams for the project. Working on the project made me realize the importance of active listening and two-way communication especially when each individual had different opinions.

Though the last few weeks were rather hectic with the submission of our team proposal and oral presentation, I truly enjoyed spending time with the members of KKGS. Thinking back on all the funny things we shared during meetings still brings a smile to my face.

ES2007S has definitely been very rewarding as I’ve learnt a lot more than I set out to when I first decided to take up the module. The entire experience has been worthwhile and practical, and I’m glad that I enrolled in this class. Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone, especially my fellow KKGSians, for making this course so enjoyable. All the best for the exams!
