In this seminar, CVs was the main focus. For someone like
me who has not written a proper CV before, this was extremely useful as there
are some helpful tips to understand what information I would need to provide
within a CV. I may have written one years ago back in secondary school when we
were tasked to do 1 week of work experience but how the school handled the
situation was annoying and they ended up placing me in college to do clean up
duty which I did not asked for.
Some people were shocked to hear I don’t have a CV nor had
done a part time job, I understand they were taken by some surprise to hear
that for someone at my age, but also felt that they think I am behind in life
and kept telling me to get a job, but during my time in education I did not see
any time to find one, which others think it is an excuse, but
to be honest I rather wait until I finish
my education.
As for the seminar, I had written down notes of the things
I need to know that are important, such as the order of details and information
that are to be put on the CV, including skills, qualifications and interests,
as well as the very little details that makes the CV presentable, such as the use
of any graphic colour and choosing appropriate font style. I also get to know
other approaches such as on-line CV and a creative CV, which I had not heard of
before. Other information regarding cover letters and e-mails are also very
useful to know how to write in a professional manner. Though I do know in
general how to write professionally, but this has helped me to understand a lot
better and clearer.
So far I had not written a CV to this date, though I will
eventually as a practice. This seminar was useful and I thought I would need to
go down to the career advisers myself at some point to help me out regarding on
CVs, but thankfully the seminar had focused on this matter and I’m glad I had
attended the session. Later on I may still need to go to the career advisers
for further information but for the mean time I know what I would need to do
for the CV with the notes I had written.
