Critical Reflection on ‘Skills on Wheels’

 Out of all the modules provided, I could strongly relate to two modules the most: Handle Face-to-Face Interview and Converse with Confidence. Firstly, as I am entering the workforce soon, it is vital for me to understand what is required of me as an interviewee. Furthermore, I need to understand the areas that potential employers look for when hiring someone. I often found myself to be unsure of how to craft good responses during interviews. As a result, I tend to face difficulties in answering the interviewer. In addition, as I am a reserved person, I am used to keeping quiet and getting nervous or shy when having to converse with someone new. I tend to stutter over my words and get sweaty palms as a result. Therefore, these two modules are the most important areas personally for me. 

With the comprehensive information given during each module, I could grasp the important pointers needed for me to improve my skills. Therefore, I could successfully attain almost full marks for the activities in both modules. After going through both modules, one of the biggest takeaways is that I have to be honest in giving answers, especially in providing my weakness during interviews. Building trust with the new people is also important especially when you enter the workforce. Thus, I learnt that it is important to be honest and true to yourself. Furthermore, our personal branding is also not what we think we want to portray to others, rather it is what other people think of us. 

In conclusion, the learning experience was interesting as various methods of learning were incorporated, such as videos, interactive videos, quizzes and informational posters. Review of your scores after each activity can also be seen, which I believe was helpful for the improvement of the students. Each module has also strategically pointed out and emphasized the importance of interpersonal relationships both at the workplace and in school.
