A year ago, I was serving my
internship with an events company during my course of polytechnic. I was
allocated into the Operations Department. Within a month, I was assigned to run
an event solely as Operations In-Charge. During preparation, I have to liaise
with the contractors, part timers and communicating in the same frequency with
my colleagues. I have to anticipate hiccups and handle unexpected situation.
I feel
that all these have exposed me to the working society, it helped to brush up my
situation analysis, interpersonal and communication skills. It has changed me
to become more meticulous in every details and sociable in order to build
network. My role model is my manager, he is experienced in this field and he is
always patient in guiding me. He taught me the 3 “I”s to be a good intern,
which is ‘Intelligence’, ‘Integrity’ and ‘Initiative’.
I admire his humbleness,
style of working and his fair treatment to everyone. He has inspired me to be a
better person and always aims for the best and take pride in everything I do. Nothing
worth having comes easy. I will also apply the 3 “I”s in my University life.

Hi Ru Ting! I liked how you organise your reflection into paragraphs; it really shows me how you organised your thoughts and how you supported your ideas. I am glad that you are able to pick up relevant skills from your internship and be able to apply these skills in school! In overall, it’s a great read and thanks for sharing your 3 “I”s!
ReplyDeleteHi Ru Ting! I guessed your intern experience was like a roller coaster ride with unexpected problems coming up every day. It's great that you have found a role model and have the 3 "I"s in mind wherever you are. Your thoughts in this reflection was clearing organised. It enabled me to understand your great experience and how your manager inspired and taught you throughout your internship journey.
ReplyDeleteHi Ru Ting, your reflection is organised and easy to read and understand. I am sure that the experiences you had during your internship had been a fruitful one. I feel like working under an events company can be very interesting as you are not bounded to just your office but also running around. Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences with me
ReplyDeleteRu Ting,
ReplyDeleteIndeed this is a very meaningful piece of writing. Please see my comments below:
Content: A very coherent piece of writing. You described your learning experience well, and the impact that your role model had on you. Perhaps it would have been better if you could be more specific by giving one example on how he inspired you / what he taught you. It is very important to support what we say with examples and not just explanations.
Organisation: This is a reasonably well-structured piece of writing. You first described your experience, then explained and concluded with the lesson that this experience has taught you.
Language:
1. Think about the use of proposition:
...during my course 'of' polytechnic...
i. at= specific location
ii. 'of' = part within an area / object.
2. Think about the use of parallelism:
I have to LIAISE with
+ the contractors,
+ part timers and
+ 'communicatING' in the same frequency with my colleagues.
Think about the verb form you have to use here.
3. This is an additional idea to the past sentence: I have to anticipate hiccups and handle unexpected situation. Think about using a connector to make your writing flow better.
4. Think about what you have learned about comma splice in: 'I feel that all these have exposed me to the working society, it helped to brush up my situation analysis, interpersonal and communication skills.'
5. It has changed me to become more meticulous in 'every details': every + singular noun.
Blogging buddies: Good job! You made some valid points to Ru Ting. Your comments show that you thought about what Ru Ting wrote.
