Reflection

It was a humid Tuesday afternoon and I can clearly recall myself sitting down in front of my computer trying to figure out exactly which module to pick out of all the ones listed in the CORS . I aimlessly browsed through them until I realized that it was Round 3C(final round), and not having had a lot of options at hand due to the high bidding points only made matters worst.In desperation, I clicked on"ES2007S" and placed a minimum bid point of 1.To my astonishment, I actually got it!.

It was only later on that I realized that despite the fact that there was no final exam for this particular module,It was filled with a cumbersome amount of assessments one had to complete.That was when I begun to tell myself that this module was not the right module for me indeed.

However, as time went by, I slowly found myself acquiring knowledge and skills i never though i'd learnt in the past. From communication skills to composing business correspondence, from writing Resume to Research report, it was indeed a never ending flow of continuous knowledge growth.

All these while, my perception of communication skills were simply about the way we socialize and interact with people around us.This module has proved me wrong. It has taught me the skills I need for proper and effective communication, methods to resolve interpersonal conflict as well as intercultural communication. I am extremely certain that all these skills will definitely come in handy when I step into the working world in the future.Surely, a business cannot be successful without effective communication.

Furthermore, I have also come to realize that an effective writing is merely not just what write down on a piece of paper. It is more about the content of what we write and whether we are able to bring across the desired message to the reader.This in turn led me to the discovery of the seven C's one should adopt when writing.

Knowing the essential features of an effective resume and job cover letter will be the most practical knowledge I have learnt in this course. By outlining my skills, qualifications and experiences effectively, it will be much easier to persuade the employer to grant me a job interview.
All in all, despite the heavy workloads, I can now say without regret that I have indeed made the right decision to have chosen this module.
