Post 7: My reflections

Having gone through this module, it has made me realize many imperfections in my communication skills. It has made me realize that there was more to presentation than just having the confidence. I do admit i took this module lightly in the beginning.

However, overtime i realized the importance my group had placed in the module and i could not let them down. I really got to thank my group mates for making me stay in the game. I always believe it was never about the end point, its about the journey towards it. I really had a blast working with them. Having just thought of some random topic to do a survey on became a passion to prove it's hypothesis. I was really happy with the comments given after our presentation.

To the rest of my course mates, communication is an essential tool. However, just like what i had written in my first blog its about being genuine thats more important. Be yourself!! Cause only then can one realise the beauty in you.

All the best for your exams. I do hope to keep in touch with you guys.

take care

cheerz,

Jay

Post 6: Biodata

Currently I am studying a B.Sc. in Life Sciences (Biomedical Science) at the National University of Singapore, graduating in August 2009. In NUS, I have held several leadership posts such as the Chairman and Producer for the Tamil Language Society. While leading and organizing the Society activities, I have improved my ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively, improved my communication skills and also learnt to appreciate team dynamics.

I have also taken several courses not related to my field of study to improve my skills in other fields. For example, the elective on human resource managment and professional communication have greatly enhanced my communicational skills and interpersonal skills which I believe would come in handy when I am interacting with people from various backgrounds.

I also set my own business, a event planning company 3 years ago as I enjoy planning events for my friends. The satisfaction i receive after seeing the contented looks of my clients gives me the urge to pursue my business further. Through my working experience, I have learnt business management and marketing skills to promote my company's offers to the mass. I also received a opportunity to work with various coporate companies, enhancing my knowledge on the structure of their businesses.
