The talk had a great insight on how we can improve ourselves especially during university so that we would have a better chance on landing a job. They talk about being proactive and participate in a lot of competitions to improve our soft skill which helps big time with getting a job. The speaker can also relate to the student because they’re still fresh graduates and are able to share a little bit about after graduation. However, the weakness is probably that the talk has alumnus who got jobs as soon as they graduated. Hearing the side of only successful alumnus could be slightly one sided because we don’t get to know how it would be like if we didn’t strike a job right after graduation. Lack of explanation is also something that can be consider as weakness where the speakers did not explain in detail about their experiences during internship and work.
From the session, I mostly gained a lot of advices that may help me during my university years such as getting into competitions, make friends and being proactive because we can gain more confidence and traits that employer would want and be willing to give us a job. We have to be aware that academic achievement is not the only thing that matter and work on our soft skills.
