Make Yuorself Employable

Make Yuorself Employable

- Presented by Dr.Ranjit Singh Malhi

It is Friday and it should a day for most of us to have a good rest and relax the mind or with a good reason to stay at room for completing the assignment on hand. However, we was so frustrated that we need to participate in a program finishing school regarding how to make yourself employable after graduate. 

After the alarm I set has ring at 7.30am, I was so lazy to wake up and hope that I can sleep for few more hours as my sleeping was disrupted by dreams. However, I still wake up from my lovely bed very unwillingness and washed up in the toilet like a vampire. I was thinking that the workshop I will attend later must be very boring and in the style that I don't like. 

The event was carried on in the Dewan Pusat Pembangunan Pelajar. After registered myself at the counter, I was given a goody bag and I chose yellow color instead of orange color. After waiting for about 30 minutes, the talk started. So it was a short appreciation talk given by someone from HEP and followed by Dr.Ranjit Singh to start his workshop. Fortunately, the workshop is not doing in group. So I decided to stay longer there. 

Dr. Ranjit Singh is a very funny person. I forget his real age already but he is really like what he say- he is sweetie 33 years young man. He carried out the workshop in a very interesting way as he has many story to share with us and has many interaction with us. The time flying but we didn't realized that it is already time for morning tea. As we feel that the workshop is quite interesting and meaningful, thus we decided to stay until lunch. Again we continued with his talk after the morning tea and lunch time came very fast. The talk is very different from others because we would feel the time is past so fast but we still look forward for more from him. So I has decided to come back again after lunch time. It was a evening tea time between the afternoon workshop and finally end at 5pm ++. 

From the all day workshop, I really learnt a lot and realized that changing is a must to me. Regarding the job interview, I have finally feel release with the problem that has been obsessing me for a long time. Firstly, leadership is actually not the most important criteria in getting a job for a fresh graduate. As I am kind shy person, I din't participate much in activities related to leadership. So I always think that this would be the greatest weakness for me compared to others. Secondly, I always think that a good academic performance is enough to get a job but today I realised that it is just enough to get a job interview, so as a good resume and cover letter. Thirdly, English is a very important language. I feel that my English is very poor especially when speaking which is mostly due to low confidence as I actually can write in English well. Anyway, I am always wish to improve my English level, so I am writting blog and I believe that I can speak a fluency English by more practice.   

I think I learnt the most regarding self-esteem. I know well of my strength and my weakness and of course I know I need to change but I just scare of changing and scare of people's judging. This is why until now I still not improve my life and lack of courage to take the first step out. I should admit that I am a very low self esteem people. I have low confidence, I do not believe in my strength and I always scared to do thing wrongly. When talking about this, I thought about my practical in ward. I was getting scolded that day because I did things too slow and the underlying problem is actually due to lack of confidence. So the first thing I should change would be rebuilt confidence in myself and accept who I am.

Well, it still another day of workshop tomorrow and I hope that I am improving myself everyday.
