Way that very beneficial to undergraduates as a preparation to enter into workforce.

The programmed was named 'How to get yourself employed'. During the programme, students were taught the winning strategies when applying for a job, which include how to write a cover letter, how to prepare an impressive resume, what shall we take note for interview, etc.

The most interesting part of the course was the mock interview session. Students were interviewed by professional lecturers in a group form, which is the current trend of interview nowadays. The interview sessions had opened up the opportunity for students to expose to the real situation where brain-teasing questions were thrown to challenge students and train them to handle various situation.

The mock interview session was particularly useful and beneficial because interviewers will give every student feedback on where the student can improve when undergoing an interview.

The course was conducted in an interactive mean rather than just one way. Group activites and public speaking, or even personal sharing were highlighted during the course.

All these activities really encourage students to speak up, of course, by using English. The motivation to improve command of English language was also injected in every student since the main problem for unemployment for undergraduates is communication.
