Submission #1 - Formal Email: Self Introduction

To: Brad Blackstone
From: Tan Jia Le

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
