Phase 1: Webinar Reflection

February 3, 2022

Good day, awesome people. I've been slacking for two days now and I need to pull myself by this laziness of mine. Grind self - grind, please.

In one of our subjects, we have the so-called phase 1 and phase 2. I already shared here the phase 2 requirement that we need to do. And in phase 1, we need to attend a three days webinar and watch it on FB live. This is about the things that help us in choosing and acing our career when we apply.

In every webinar, we need to fill out a Google form that they will provide and serve as our attendance. Aside from the attendance, we also need to make a reflection about the said webinar.

This is the sample of a google form for attendance after every webinar. Here, we need to fill up information needed such as our names and section and also the key takeaways that we get in the webinar.

These are the topics during our first webinar.

And here is my reflection:

In the webinar series which is a phase 1 activity, I have gained a lot of knowledge about the things we need in able to find a career that we want. All the speakers discussed their topics well and they are very informative. The questions that we have in mind are gladly answered by them and aside from giving us tips about how to be able to accept a job, they also give information about the industry they are working with.

In the first speaker, I have learned how to create a resume link that will be posted on jobs180.com. He explained the information that we need to put when we register and create our resumes online. This is the fastest and most convenient online application given that we have a pandemic and there's a limited face-to-face process. The speaker showed the information that we need to fill up and also he mentioned the formality of the resume by providing a formal or decent profile photo and email so that it will be pleasing to the employer when they check your resume. The second speaker discussed the top skills that employers look for. She mentioned five skills that we need to highlight to be able to be successful in looking for work. The five skills that she mentioned are critical thinking and problem solving, teamwork and collaboration, professionalism and strong work ethics, communication skills, and leadership. These skills are a great advantage in looking for a job. In the last speaker, she discussed the things we need to do in a virtual interview. She mentioned that we need to know the company first so that we can be able to answer if the employer asks us about their company, prepare for the interview Questions from most common to most difficult, practice, dress decently and the most important one is to be positive.

The information and tips that they give during the webinar are helpful especially to us who will be graduating. We can use this in finding a career that we want in the future. The knowledge that I have learned will be stored in my mind so that I will not forget them, this is the opportunity that we should value.

That ends my reflection about the webinar we have. Technology makes things easier and possible especially during pandemics, when you need to attend into seminar you need to commute and leave your house, now because of the technology and different social media it's easy to join and listen to the webinar.

Thank you to all my sponsors.
