It was mainly about how to nail job interviews and find our purpose, dreams, and goals in life etc etc.
Most of us still haven't got our goals clear yet.
I would be one of those people who have no idea what she wants to work as.
So the speaker wanted us to outline what we're going to be in a few years.
QUESTION:
WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 3 YEARS?
As expected, a lot of people wrote down that they're going to be successful people, rich, and have a very stable family etc.
I have no idea what to write. I'm not very ambitious to the point that I can imagine myself being a millionaire.
Thankfully, as I counted down in 3 years, it's not too difficult.
Currently = 20 years old, fifth semester of diploma
Later = 23 years old, final year of degree
So while everyone was dreaming to be big in 3 years,
I just wrote that I'll be a final year degree student.
For a friend of mine, let's call him Cow.
He got that question, but in 5 years (because he was in a different session).
So he wrote:
"Dalam masa 5 tahun, saya akan menjadi bapa yang berjaya, kacak, lagi bergaya."
Yes, that statement was too cute to pass away!
There was one session where the speaker told us to write on the paper:
1) Our strengths
2) Our weaknesses
Now, keep in mind that these will be the answers we give to employers during job interviews whenever the question of, "Tell us what is your strength/weakness."
For Cow,
QUESTION:
WHAT IS YOUR STRENGTH?
ANSWER:
My good looks!
I assure you, that is entirely NOT true.
Zura, my classmate, pointed out that the tip was to show yourself as very confident and charismatic, that you won't admit to having weaknesses at all!
She said that's what she did during the Diploma Mass Comm interview.
But she wrote on the paper anyway,
QUESTION:
WHAT IS YOUR WEAKNESS?
ANSWER:
1) I have too many pimples and zits.
2) I'm not good at cooking.
Fisa, another classmate, laughed looking over at Zura's answer.
"Just imagine that!
In a job interview, when the boss asks you what's your weakness,
and your answers are that you have a lot of pimples and you can't cook?!
What kind of answer is that?!?!"
She got a point lol.
