I decided to take
this module after reading the module description online because it seemed like
it would be useful for when I graduate, seeing how it was my final semester in
NUS. True enough, I think that ES2007S has equipped me with relevant skills to assist
me in job hunting: resume and cover letter writing, interview skills and
communication across different groups of people. Not only that, but Professional Communication has taught me
various other things - from things I had always taken for granted like
non-verbal communication skills to shedding light on more sensitive issues like
intercultural communication. This module has definitely made me more aware of
my actions, such that I would hopefully never come across wrongly, or
unintentionally offend or even contradict the things I say.
I could go on
listing the numerous technical skills that this module has taught me, but that
would make for a fairly dry and boring post. Instead, I want to mention how
this module has given me other experiences beneath the surface. ES2007S has
given me opportunities to work with different people and I think that whatever
experience I had would help with working life in the future. The module has
also introduced me to 8 amazing friends who have expanded the way I view the
world and have each taught me a little bit of something, be it in class
discussions, peer teachings and even the occasional talks at bus stops and on
elevators. It also introduced me to an amazing teacher, a mentor, who has
taught me more than I could have anticipated, readying me for my next jump to
the working world.
All in all, these
last 12 weeks have been as enjoyable as it has been enriching. I have
definitely grown attached to the class and I am glad that I decided to take
this module as it has given me plenty of pleasant memories, a great way to wrap
up my education in NUS. I feel that after this entire course was over, I can
safely say that I got everything I expected plus so much more.
