In this second week we learn about Resume and Cover Letter, Effective Meeting, Advanced Business Report Writing and Public Speaking. Base of what I learn: Effective Resume and
Impressive Cover Letter
Conducted by:
Madam Norliza Mohd Hashim and Madam Farahiyah Mohamad Kamal @ Hod
Although the cover letter is such an important document, we may encounter several conflicting opinions as how it should look (What is a Cover Letter?). It is important to remind that the person who going to read your resume will read it for about 45 second. It is best to pass it along to as many different people you trust, solicit their advice, be prepared for conflicting advice, be prepared to write and rewrite the letter many times.

Advanced Business Report Writing
Conducted by:
Madam Tara Ooi I-Chen
To attract the attention of today's busy readers, we must respond to their need for clarity and conciseness in written communication. A business should be short and easy for the reader to understand. It is important to write it straight to the point because in business time is money.

Public Speaking
Conducted by:
Mister Faizal Kamal Bin Mohamed
In this activity we learn on how to be heard and to speak better in public. To be heard we must voice out our opinion and to voice our opinion we must speak clearly and improve on our grammar. Before public speaking we must do the following:
Audience
Get information about who will be attending your presentation.
The take-away message
Focus on that message. Start out with this summary statement in mind and build your presentation around it.
Outline
Once you have an idea of your presentation's main message, spend some time thinking about the structure of the entire talk.
Strong start
The first couple of minutes of your talk should be the most prepared and polished. You want to get off to a good start.
Confidence and enthusiasm
Make sure that you exert confidence during your presentation. Don't apologize for what you don't have with you to present or what you do not know. Rather, focus on what you can talk about and discuss the material with confidence.
Practice makes perfect
Practice the presentation a few times. It can be especially helpful to give the talk to someone who is not in your field and is not intimately familiar with the material. This is helpful in seeing whether you have made the talk too narrowly focused or overly technical.
