Subject: Self Introduction
Dear Mr. Blackstone,
I am currently an
undergraduate pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Business with Honours at Singapore
Institute of Technology. I previously pursued a diploma in Hotel & Leisure
Facilities Management in Singapore Polytechnic. In the few years of studies
within the hospitality industry, I have had many opportunities and exposure during
my industry attachments within two hotel organisations: Marina Bay Sands and Furama Hotels International.
Prior to university
life, I was engaged in two years of National Service. From being a recruit to moving up ranks to an officer, I was exposed to endless obstacles, events
and activities. Through these experiences, I managed to pick up essential soft
skills that were practical in adulthood, one of which was communication
skills.
Communication is the key
when it comes to partnership, teamwork, or even the slightest interaction between two individuals. I believe that listening and understanding before
taking actions is necessary in all communication, and that information passed
on must be clear and concise. In every interaction I participated in, I would always
try to be attentive, grasping the entire situation before making a comment or taking
any action.
However, due to the
fast-paced personality I possess, I tend to lack the patience to get to the
end of the conversation if it prolongs. At times even, I would jump-the-gun
once I think I had understood the gist of the situation.
Thank you for allowing
me to share with you more about myself. I hope this helps you to understand a little more about me.
Warmest regards,
Tan Jia Le
