On 24th September 2018, I was asked to attend an industrial talk regarding eRezeki from MDEC located at Seminar Hall, N28A, School of Computing. The talk was presented by Mr. Mohd Ihsanuddin Jamhari, the master trainer of a program called Global Online Workforce (GLOW). From his talk, he explained to us that MDEC provides three main programs, which are eUsahawan, eRezeki and GLOW. Besides, he introduced us freelancing and told us the benefits of becoming a freelancer.
In my opinion, I think that the industrial talk is applicable to my studies and my future. There are many things I had learnt from the industrial talk. Firstly, I had known that technology and information system has become more n more important in our lives. Using technology wisely can bring a lot of benefits to us and make our lives better. For example, I was amazed by the talk as I never knew that business or economy can be carried out in such an effective and useful way with the use of the technology advancement. As we are approaching the 4th Industrial Revolution, we must fully utilize the use of the modern technology especially the Internet so that we can survive in the new era and will not fall behind the trend.
Besides, I was told that we need to accept and adapt something that is new to us nowadays. We need to be the innovators who try new idea at certain risk instead of being lagging adopters who bounded by tradition and reluctant to make any changes. Freelancer is not only an interesting job but also a worthwhile career to invest, Hence, freelancer would be my consideration in my future career. Last but not least, I would like to take this great opportunity to thank my lecturer, Dr. Nor Bahiah binti Haji Ahmad, for letting us to attend this meaningful and useful industrial talk. I really enjoyed myself and learnt a lot from the talk that I attended. I hope to attend more talks like this next time so that I can learn more about technology and information system.
