Self-introduction
Dear Brad
Blackstone,
My name is Tan
Yun Yue, currently a Hospitality Business undergraduate from Singapore
Institute of Technology (SIT). I previously graduated from Singapore
Polytechnic with a diploma in Hotel Leisure Facilities Management where I took
on the specialization in the facilities field and took on an internship at
CapitaLand Limited.
Upon
graduation, being unsure about which career path to pursue my degree, I took a
gap year. Within the course of one year, I travelled to various countries with
my family and saw how people in the hospitality industry could bring smiles to
their guest. I also took up part-time job as an event promoter, mending the
play corner and promoting playdoh set. Through these, it made me realise that I
find happiness in interacting with people and putting smiles on their faces
which led me to choose this course.
On strengths
and weaknesses, I find that I am a good listener who is willing to give a
listening ear to people’s full perspective. During which, I would try to
emphasize with them before giving them an opinion of my own. I am also willing
to take any criticism in my stride and reflect to see how I can improve on
myself. On a contrary, I lack confidence when required to present in front of a
group of people which leads me to speak faster and blush.
Through this
module, I hope that I would be less afraid to step out of my comfort zone to
confidently speak up in front of a crowd while clearly articulating my ideas
across to them. I would also hope to improve my writing skills by presenting my
ideas in a clear and concise manner.
With Regards,
Yun Yue
Dear Yun Yue,
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that we both enjoy interacting with people and bringing joy into their lives. It will certainly make it easier for us being in this industry. Also, I respect that you are open to constructive criticism as I believe it is necessary in order for an individual to improve themselves.
I hope that through this module you will be able to gain more confidence in yourself when presenting and be an effective communicator.
Warm regards,
Mohamed Shafique

Dear Yun Yue,
ReplyDeleteNice blog layout you have there! I took the same course as you back in polytechnic. It was great to know you here in SIT and i am glad that you are being open to your weakness.
To be honest, I have the same problem as you. It is always hard to bring ideas across to different people in words especially to a group of strangers.
Lets work and improve together!
Love,
Venus
Dear Venus,
DeleteIt amazing that we were from the same polytechnic course and now we are in the same course in university. Lets work hard together to overcome our problem ! :)
With love,
Yun Yue
ReplyDeleteDear Yun Yue,
Thank you for this interesting letter. I enjoyed learning about your unique background, most especially your varied job and interpersonal experience . I appreciate the concrete details that you have shared, especially the idea that 'putting smiles' on customers faces gives you satisfaction!
I also applaud your willingness to share info on your comm skill weaknesses. We will certainly address public speaking throughout this term. In addition, we will adress your writing. To start that process off, please consider these points:
1. overuse of capitalization
-- a Hospitality Business undergraduate
2. sentence structure
-- Through these, it made me realise... >>> These experiences made me realise...
-- During which, I would try to emphasize with them before giving them an opinion of my own. >>> (sentence fragment; misuse of relative pronoun)
-- a group of people which leads me to speak faster and blush (punctuation)
see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/645/01/
3. wrong word
-- On a contrary, I lack confidence.... >>> However, I lack confidence....
-- clearly articulating my ideas across to them >>> clearly articulating my ideas to them
I appreciate all your effort, and I look forward to getting to know you better.
Best wishes,
Brad
Dear Brad,
DeleteThank you for your feedback in helping me to improve my writing skills. I will take note and remember not to make similar mistakes in the future.
