Dear Miss Lim,
My name is Melvyn
tan from class SIE2016 SEM03. I’ve graduated from Temasek Polytechnic in 2015
with a Diploma in Integrated Facilities Management. My personality in polytechnic
was an introvert and a rather quiet person in the beginning. After being
exposed to communication modules such as Writing and effective communication, Organizational
communication and Career communication, I was intrigued and amazed by how
important communication is.
Having empathy
towards the other party is one of my main communication strengths in my aspect.
When communicating with different parties, everyone has their own opinion and
conclusion. Often, they would forget to take in the other party’s opinions and
suggestions which would then lead to disputes among one another. For me, I am
open to different opinions and able to understand different individuals’
mindset. It is an important yet easily missed aspect of communication between
one another.
For a weakness, I feel
that the lack of confidence is the main hurdle that I find it difficult to
cross. Ever since polytechnic, I had always faced difficulty when I am
approaching an unfamiliar group to talk about my ideas. This would always lead
to stuttering when I am having presentations. When communication is involved,
having confidence is main key to ensure that one would not feel afraid when
presenting their ideas.
The goals for this
module for me would be to develop a strong confidence to be able to communicate
with ease to anyone at any time. In addition, I would like to learn more about
writing of reports and e-mails because it is an important aspect in any
workforce in any industry today.
Best Regards,
Melvyn Tan
Hi Melvyn,
ReplyDeleteYour introductory letter was well structured and organised. Also, I got to know you better through your sharing that you were an introvert in your Polytechnic days.
In regards to your strength, you might want to give an example of having empathy to avoid disputes among one another. Other than that, I feel that your post is well presented and genuinely explained. Thanks for sharing, see you around!
Hey Melvyn,
ReplyDeleteIt is a privilege to be exposed a variety communication module, I believe you have take away useful skills with you. Great that you value other's suggestion and is open to opinions as that will encourage people to speak their minds. Do not let your low confidence stops you from sharing your idea, because you never know, your idea may be the best idea. I hope this module will boost your confidence and improve on our writing of reports! Have fun learning!
Signing off, Ashley
Hello Melvyn,
ReplyDeleteGreat structure of the letter, it's something that I can learn from. You have the strength that others should learn from, as it is true that the opinions of others can be easily neglected. Don't fret about confidence, I guess it just takes practice, practice and more practice. Let's do our best to hit the 87.5%!
Cheers,
Wenwei
Hi Melvyn, I like how well structured and organised your letter is. I can see that you are confident in explaining certain logics/concepts to us especially during group work, it really benefited me in many ways. Continue to voice of your opinions more and practice voicing out in a big group! All the best and see you in school!
