As we all agree, this course has been an enriching experience for all of us. It has not only been the only class with my utmost attendance, but also my most-looked-forward to class. To describe the class in one word would be fulfilling – in terms of content, concept and company.
One of the most important activities for me was the mock interviews. Being a university student, in order to secure good internships, it is important to be able to give a good interview. Personally, this was one thing I was really unsure of. Starting from writing a cover letter to making the final mark on an interview was a feared arena for me. I would consciously try to stay away from going for interviews and try and have phone interviews. Also I was very unsure of how to build an effective resume and an equally complimentary cover letter. Hence this course taught me to structure my resume and letter correctly, to use effective words, to format professionally and to present confidently. All the usual faux pas made by a novice were clarified and worked upon in this part of the course. Also the ability to look at an interview from the interviewer’s and the interviewee’s perspective is important to truly understand what makes an interview a successful one. Hence the activity of the mock interviews helped a lot in that understanding. The peer teaching about Interviews was a highly enriching one from which I learnt a lot and hope to use most of it in any upcoming interview.
Once again, I would like to thank all of the members of this sectional teaching group for being so easy to work with and being an absolutely delight. I hope the semester was a good one for all.
