As a graduating student, this module taught me many useful information such as writing cover letters, resume, personal statements and even dresscode etiquette. I never knew what a personal statement was before this module, and I never thought that hand gestures as well as sitting posture matter so much during an interview. (Example: Do not cross legs)

Mock Interview

The mock interview was also very effective in teaching students how to prepare for interviews - especially in answering questions. It exposed us to different kinds of interview questions, make us aware of our body gestures, and taught us how we can tweak our answers to fulfill the job requirements. I cannot emphasize how much I took back from this module, and how relevant it is to the real world - unlike my statistics and math modules (expectation of an exponential function, finding probability, stochastic etc...).

Presentation

We had three chances to hone our presentation skills; the mock peer teaching, actual peer teaching, and final oral presentation. I get better each time, taking note to correct my bad habits and prepare for bad weather. During the first mock peer teaching, I bumped into technical errors as my Powerpoint version was different from the desktop's version. Eventually my slides went to waste as the outdated version could not "play" important animations and could not display certain font types, I felt terrible that my efforts were in vain. On the upside, at least that was only the mock presentation - not the real one. I now make sure to always present on my own laptop to prevent such things from happening again. Furthermore, I learnt from peers' mistakes such as not to pace up and down when presenting, have good projection of voice and eye contact, and most importantly refrain from redundant verbal fillers such as "errr". 

Overall I feel that my oral presentation and interview skills definitely improved, and I have more confidence in presenting now.
