Graduate Attributes
The positive values that I got in the event as a crew member of Huawei was that i learned a lot about communication skills. This is because as crew member, I was assigned to handle the registration counter and the QR code attendance. By doing this task I needed to explain to everyone in details how does the event flows as well as providing them with important information of the event. It has directly impacted and developed my communication skill with the participants of the event.
Other than that, I also improve my team working skills . I learned how to work with my teammates. Every task that is assigned to us mostly involves working in a team. For example, besides handling the registration counter, I have also been assigned to serve VIP for a lunch. This required me and my team to work together to make sure all VIPs can be served well. I really hope that all the knowledge that I acquire from this program can be useful in the near future.
Participating in this event made me realized that communication and teamwork are important. It really help touch up both of those skills perfectly. I enjoyed every moment of being a member of Huawei crew. I met many important people people especially the CEO of Huawei during the magnificent event.
In conclusion, I think that if the opportunity arrives I would surely join this kind of event again. It was a truly wonderful experience working with the Huawei crew members. It made me hone my people's skill. There is so much things to learn when you put yourself in the action. That is why I think extracurricular activities are important in universities. They help you learn and gain experience that you ca never get in classrooms. Soft skills like this can be nurtured by handling these types of programs.
