Reflection
From the talk, we have learned about the importance of developing soft skills such as critical thinking and technical skills like managing the code to secure our job in the future. We also learn that during the internship, we will gain more new knowledge that slightly different from our syllabus such as learnt a new language to complete the project and the benefit when we be proactive and perform well, will make the company acknowledge us. We also learn the difference between private and government sector which is the sector in private more focused on technical skills and soft skills of an IT employee while in government, they will focus on CGPA first
