Reflective Writting
CAES2905: Reflective writing Chan King Fung UID:2010152162
The CAES course in this semester covers some useful and practical materials like interview skills and tips for writing resumes. Nevertheless, the most impressive things in this course is that, during the tasks given, it changes my attitudes toward job searching that I have realized the importance of building up a network ,preparation and research for finding a job and career planning.
One of the tasks in the course IWP requires us to hold an interview with our buddy to discuss and share his career. Our team then designed to interview a person in investment bank field. However, some teammates and I quickly found that we were in a predicament that we do not have such friends in our network. Fortunately, one of our teammates finally found a friend working in this field. However, it has already let me realize the importance of a building up a wide network and reflect my narrow network. Moreover, during the interview, our interviewee Leo told us that one key thing for his success is the network provided by CEDARS as it provided some workshops for investment bank interview and the director of CEDARS even became his referee which were advantages for his job searching. It further makes me determined to wider my network.
To wider my network, I have decided to participate in some mentorship programmes organized by the faculty and the university. These programme, like BEA Mentorship Programme 2011, aim to provide a tailor-made matching with mentors from a variety of business fields, ranging from Finance & Investing to Public Relations & Marketing which will be conducive to their future career development. These programmes would then certainly provide me an opportunity to meet people in different aspects and thus wider my network.
During the interview, I have also realized the importance of preparation and career planning. In the interview, Leo told us that he have already planning to work
