Communication Skills Reflection
I can learn to be more concise with my words and express a point without using unnecessary
words. During the back-to-back drawing activity, I did not finish explaining the steps to the
drawing and we did not finish the last part of it. I can work on being more concise especially in
time limits, such as the Escape the Boom activity. I notice this is a reoccurring issue sometimes
when I am asked a question or need to explain something, so I will try to shorten my sentences
and remove unnecessary information.
I feel confident to some extent about my ability to market myself in an interview. During
interviews, I try to be confident and friendly and market myself honestly and without arrogance.
I find it difficult to advocate for myself sometimes and I feel very nervous in professional
settings, but in the few interviews I have been in, I was able to keep my composure and stay
calm and confident. I would like to speak clearer and seem more confident than I am by
removing nervous body language such as fiddling with my hands and bouncing my leg, which
are things I noticed I did during the “speed-dating” activity. I was also asked to speak clearer in
the first mock interview I did in grade 10, which I have since then worked on and still work on.
However, most of my recent interviews have gone well, so I do feel confident to some extent
about my abilities in them.
