Class was good; However, it would have been much better if I did not have a cold. I learned that I need a lot more help on my grammar. I know some grammar rules but I do not understand the reason why I would do them. I think the manners video was a good thing to watch, because sometimes you forget that normal things you do may offend others. I also like the chapter that talked about your professional image, and I plan to use that to my benefit.
I wish I know a way to post on this page instead of posting a comment. Tuesday night class was interesting, for the grammar rules seems to fly right past my brain. The language on the sheet of paper seemed foreign to me. Here's hoping that I will understand it in time.

ReplyDeleteI need to work more on my leadership skills as well as by written communication skills, by improving on the skills will help me further in my profesional career.
I do not have a problem smiling when giving my first impressions, yet when the textbook warned to be careful not to seem insincere, I am a bit confused with the statement. I am sincere with my answers in every aspect of my life; it is a part of who I am as a person. And while I rarely ever make mistakes; I do feel uncomfortable and apologize profusely. I would rather devise a plan never to make any mistakes by checking my work and use the amazing software tools before submitting.
ReplyDeleteThis chapter has helped me realize that I need to strengthen my time-management and stress-management skills in order to portray a more positive professional image. I believe working on these skills will help me feel and act more "in control". Generally, I get stressed, run late, fumble out the door, and stress continues to build because now I am running late. It's a never ending cycle, and it makes me look like a mess. I need to do better.
ReplyDeleteI am uncertain of my skills and abilities when presented with an overwhelming task or decision. I must remind myself I am capable; I just need to have a positive attitude, and tackle the task one step at a time. This chapter helped me recognize my deficiency in networking skills and participation in professional organizations. Many personal issues in the last few years have caused a decrease in personal and professional socialization; returning to school has helped but, working at home has not. Personal and work socialization is clearly a characteristic I need to improve.
