Data Engineering Symposium (DESYMP’21)

1. Leadership and Teamworking Skills

Despite the simple task that was offered to me which was to recite the prayer at the start of the event, I still benefit from the overall work ethics that was portrayed by my fellow crewmates. I observed that every single of them gives their best effort and commitment towards making the event a success. They conduct discussion to properly divide the task, understand the job scope of each given position, and support each other. These resulted in a well-planned and successful event on the occurrence day. So, I managed to learn a lot from these guys in term of leadership and teamworking skills albeit playing a marginal role and obtain experience in running an online event. 

2. Scholarship

I was very eager to participate in the event since the topic of the discussion is related to my field that I wish to pursue in the future. There are tons of information can be found on the internet related to the course especially nowadays, but a live-sharing session surely bring another view as it caters to your needs. Various questions are asked by the participants and being answered by the speaker, gives new perspective, and enlighten myself on my career path

3. Communication Skills

As part of the DESYMP’21’s crew, I need to communicate with several of my crewmates to be well-informed of my role and task. Every interaction was conducted through online meeting (Google Meet) and messaging app (WhatsApp) due to the COVID19 pandemic, but the event overall still runs smoothly. This proves that all crewmates were able to convey their objective and information clearly despite the physical restriction.
