This is to develop individual character and knowing own strengths and weaknesses. I found myself authenticity, patient, and discipline.My bosses at preview bank, Madam Maria Hard, Mabel Boo and Phil Tan; commended that; I was passion, competent, knowledgeable and flexible at ark even my current boss, Mr.
Vincent Tan. However, I might lost focus and sometime emotion, lack of communication with superiors that somehow effected my performance at work. Most of my superiors do not know what had I did and performed due to my low profile and quietness Bosses love to work with me because I seldom border them with problems and issued due to my experiences and flexibilities at work. Knowing what were within the requirement and limitations between organization and customers.For example, customers might asked for extra mile services by going out to car park for endorsements or witnesses due to physical Isabel. I would certainly asked for permission and proceeded to help them with sincere.
This was my spirits of customer services although I do not required to do so. Other example like promoting of new launch internet banking, I will explained in detail although customers familiar of using internet. However, some features created might not cleared enough in the brochures such as FAA function, or one time password (TOP). I always take extra step to explain, as well as ways and features using our services.Customers always impressed by my patient and passion at work by written a complementary feedback. Although I am a quiet and low profile person.
However, I realized I have a lot of friends especially before New Year period whereby; customers will queue up for new notes exchanged. In ordered to avoid long queue, friends will remembered and started calling me during this period. I always happy to help them and sent the new notes to their door side without asking for token. Although I had left the bank, I still continued to help because some of them are old ages who have difficulties to walk and handicapped.
My sincerity and extra mile services wined complementary and rewarded every year as Gold and Platinum revises excellent awards by Singapore Excellent Services Awards during working in the bank. Although I received rewards every years. However, human are not perfect. I do have a lot of weaknesses such as lack of communication skills, not focus, too quiet, lack of confident especially during speeches and promote my own abilities. I am discipline and always prepared in advance when there were needs to present ideas or speeches.
However, I still nervous and timid even I had did many rehearsals. We went thru a mock interview during these module.Lecturer advised that, I need ore practices and rehearsals before I went for interview although I had experiences and confident at work. However, I was not focus and lack of articulated skills. This might be eliminated by interviewer. He shared that, being focus I need to think in the way of this was my last chance or the only Job for me.
Focus on the requirement and set goal and force myself to achieve it during interview. I always lost focus and capture wrong points in the first place whenever my boss asked to start new projects. These were wasted of time and double works as compare to other who can focus and trivet to the point.I need to improve in this areas by observed more on how others can striver the right point at once. Read more articles on how to concentrate and ways by not interrupted by others which I can see my improvement as focus at work and class nowadays.

Think over slowly and carefully, offer measured, dispassionate critical analysis and contribute crucial decision making.
Vii) Recorder; keeps group organized and focus. Offer to take notes or record of ideas and decision. A memory of the group. I found myself a compromiser who accepted others' ideas and suggestion in teamwork. I love to work in harmony although sometime teamwork appeared disagreements or arguments.
I found that, harmony was important because it affected the outcome of the whole project.During Business Challenge project, as usual, I acted as compromises and ideas person due to gain some experiences in business environmental. I pick up the action planned which need to do research and survey on market perception, things to do to set up business such as registration of Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (CRA), rules and regulation set up as well as plan to acquire fund from public, shareholders and government.

I do not have much conflict which each other during this project beside of practice of reservation.Another word, I am weak in presentation and need more practices or rehearsals with team members although I had familiarized and practice it many times. This was due to lack of confident to myself and stage fear. However, most of the team members were quite confident. I have no choose but try my best to present it without rehearsal.
I afraid to be a burden of drag to members. However, thankful and appreciated that, team members were sympathy and accepted my weaknesses. On the other hand, I will challenge myself in this area by learning more techniques and skills.Do more speeches in the future to season myself.
