Having taken ES2331(Communicating Engineering) last semester, I became really interested in improving my communication skills. Feeling that I still have more to improve on, I decided to take up ES2007S to further improve my communication skills, which is one of the skills many engineers lack in. ES2007s gave me more than what I asked for as it provided me with knowledge in résumé writing, cover letter writing, personal statement writing amongst others.
Personally speaking, before I took this module, I had no résumé of my own, I had no cover letter of my own, I had no personal statement of my own, because I had no idea how to write/structure them. Taking this module, it taught me how to structure a good resume and cover letter and more importantly, how to use the 7 Cs to make your résumé and cover letter stand out from the crowd. I also learnt how to analyse job advertisements on the web so that I can prepare my résumé and cover letter better.
Other than the technical skills I learnt from this module, I also improved my interpersonal skills. Having to juggle 6 projects this semester, the interpersonal skills I have learnt from this module is put to good use as I learnt how to handle conflicts when they arise. More importantly, I learnt how to be self aware and motivated so that I can contribute more to the project groups that I am in.
To end of the final blog post of this semester, I would like to thank Mdm Fazilah for being providing so much guidance throughout the semester and also to my classmates for making class so enjoyable. I believe that the skills I have attained will serve me well in the future.
P.S I got an internship thanks to my résumé and cover letter. Taking this module is certainly worth it:D
