Reflective Essay

This course was very beneficial on many different levels.  The first benefit was through learning how to prepare a CV.  In this part I learned how to produce a professional CV, which is critical when seeking a job. It’s very important because it gives an introduction about you to the counterpart.  Moreover, it portraits your experience both educationally and professionally in a well structured manner.  If you have an attractive CV, you will be able to place a first good impression, and it will give them a feel regarding the person you are and what your ambitions are towards. Second benefit was the group meeting. In the group meeting I learned how a meeting should be set, and because I did the minutes, I feel like I learned a new skill that could be helpful not just to record, but to speak in a good tone that will help a minute taker record his notes. Third, was the interview, and since I am heading into my work placement, I felt the use of this course outline. When I went into my first interview I went in comfortable and with a good self esteem, I forecasted some of the questions coming and was able to get my answers sorted out even before they start asking me questions. The fourth and last part of this reflective essay on the course was the Final report. In the final report I learned how to cite and make a good bibliography which will help me in my further studies if I do them. Everything we took this semester for this course was helpful and gave me some extra skills that make me more comfortable with using them in work, studying and life in general.
