Self Reflection 2

The main reason why I’m doing this and by this I mean attending all that long boring classes excluding the 307 course which I consider it a very interesting and full of fun course (I hope Mr. Gregory reads this).  I almost forgot what I was about to say, the main reason I’m doing this is to help me get a better and more interesting job than my current job.

The 307 professional communication course helped me making my first CV ever, where in the Army where I work I didn’t have to make one. In the future when I finish my bachelor degree, I don’t have to worry about making a professional CV as I already make one during this course as it was the first thing we have learnt at the beginning of  the semester followed by making a cover letter that will be attached with the CV.

After doing CVs and cover letters, we did a job interview with Mr. Gregory as we are doing a real one. I was a bit nervous before the interview, but everything went well at that day. Mr. Gregory told us what we should say and what we shouldn’t.

Another thing we did in the 307 course is business meeting, where we learned how to be prepared for a real meeting. So we did attend a meeting as we were a group of four students. I was the minutes taker where I was responsible for taking the minutes during the meeting. I had to summarize the important points that been said in that meeting by the other members. I also learned writing an agenda for the meeting. It was a great experience.

Last but not least, we had to write a report about our study major, so we wrote about the information security, and then we conducted a presentation in front of the rest of the class. In my point of view, we did well in the presentation as we followed what Mr. Gregory has taught us.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the 307 course was an interesting and a very useful course that helped improving my skills a lot. What I loved the most in this course is interacting with my team members where I spend a great Unforgettable time with them. And I also like to thank Mr. Gregory for all the great effort he showed during the course.

Meeting Reflection

 

In our group business meeting I think that the meeting was successful and it went in a good way as we expect it. Without the group’s hard work we wouldn’t accomplish a thing. Our leader has played his rule perfectly; he was the right man in the right place. Before the actual meeting, we had a practice meeting. In the practice meeting we learnt how write a business agenda and how to make a real business meeting. My job in the meeting was the minutes taker; which is in my point of view is a very critical and important job that needs a lot of responsibility, and writing the minutes was not easy. To be a good minutes taker you should be fast in taking the minutes, good listener and have a clear mind. Finally, in this meeting I learnt how to prepare for it, reserve the venue, place a time and inform the meeting participants.
