Self-Introductory Email

To: Brad Blackstone  From: Cheryl Choo Date: 19 January 2019 Subject: Self-introduction Dear Brad, I am Cheryl, a second-year hospitality business undergraduate from Singapore Institute of Technology. My purpose of writing to you is to formally introduce myself. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in Chinese Studies. Upon graduation, I took a year gap with several objectives in mind: to expose myself in the real working environment, accumulate work experience and most importantly, explore my career options. I embarked on this journey working as a business associate in a lighting company for six months. I was mainly involved in several functions: sales and marketing, project management and handling of administrative tasks. It was an eye-opening experience for me however, I grew to realise it was not the industry for me. After which, I worked as a waitress in IBIS hotel, Novena. It was certainly not an easy job as

Reflection- Interpersonal Communication Problem

The incident happened during my part time job as a waitress in a hotel restaurant two years ago. I remembered vividly it was my second week at work when I was introduced to a new supervisor who will be referred as Jane for confidentiality purposes.

Reflection on Module & CPD Showcase

Reflection on the Module   It was a bitter-sweet feeling to know that this module has come to an end. This 13 weeks   learning journey has been one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling one. One aspect I like most about this module is its flexibility whereby we are able to select a topic of our team’s interest and having full control of the concept/theme for production of the video. This had allowed the team to be more creative and the interest for our selected topic has spurred us to explore deeper. Also, I enjoyed the lessons very much because of the learning environment. I felt that the “lessons” were more like open discussion sessions which encouraged me to participate and speak up more. In fact, it was the only class I was unafraid to speak up or share my opinions because professor Blackstone will always acknowledge my answers even if they were incorrect. From there, I gradually have gained more confidence in terms of presenting and communicating with my peers.   Reflect
