English for Career Development by Mareta Fauziah (Week 4)

 

Overview of Week 4 Materials.

A job seeker needs to build relationships by meeting new people, making small talk, and describing his/her skills effectively. In this fourth week, I learn about the importance of networking and how to deliver a networking elevator speech appropriately.

When we are networking, we are meeting new people and learning more about different jobs and companies. Networking is about building professional relationships, which take time to grow. When we meet new people we learn about common interests, or things we both know about. There are some common interest that may help us learn about some other things that we have in common such as major or subject areas, work experiences, or other people we both know (mutual friends/acquaintances).

There are many ways to increase or add to our professional network:

1. First, we can join a professional organization, which is a group of people with similar occupations or careers.

2. Second, we can use social media websites like LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter.

3. Third, we can contact College Alumni groups.

4. Once we have a group of people, our network can be very important for our career, because they might know about job openings that are not advertised.

Result of Week 4 Quiz.

From this course, I learn about some new words or vocabularies too, such as:

New Vocabulary

Definition

Elevator Speech

A short description of your skills and career goals

Networking

Talking to other people about your job search and career goals

Rhythm

Patterns of words and pauses


So, that’s all what I learn in week 4. Thank you ^^

     Learning a foreign language is a provision when we will all step in the life of globalization. Everyone is obliged to wrestle in the world of globalization if they want to develop and do not run in place. The benefits of learning a foreign language itself are not too far from the goal, it's just that as a benefit of course this is interpreted more specifically. By mastering foreign languages, one can communicate further, so that their insights in information technology themselves will be more open and they certainly have great capital to step in a world where technological progress is always moving forward.      Duolingo is one of the most widely accessed foreign language learning media.

  Overview of Week 5 Materials. Job seekers need to present themselves well by describing their skills effectively. Another important skill is asking and answering questions in a job interview. In this last week, I learn about different types of questions used in job interviews and how to answer an interview question briefly and clearly. In job interview, we can answering the questions the interviewer asks you in an honest and detailed way. Honest, because the interviewer wants to know if you are the same person you say you are in your resume and cover letter. And detailed because you want to give enough information in your responses. During an interview some questions will be direct, and some will be indirect. An example of a direct question is why are you a good fit for this job, or why do you want to work for this company.
