Answers : Do you think there's a need to ask questions during the interview session, and why? Yes, I think there is a need to ask questions as there are things we will need to know more or need clarification. For example, the nature of the job, or what process will be done after the interview. Prepare at least five questions that demonstrate your interest in the position or the company.  1. May I know what is the working culture here? 2. Are there any other minor jobs that need to be done in the position I applied apart from what was in the description in this job position? 3. Usually, how does this company measure the performance and success in this role? 4. May I know usually what kind of reinforcement is used to instruct the workers? 5. May I know more about what the team here is like? Like maybe having a design team and idea team or?

answers: Case scenario 1 : sometimes clients are friends around me who not understand with design which they will request for free design service Some of my freelance clients are friends around me. They will ask for free design service as they assume design is easy and they think “we are friends” so it can be free for the services. It’s annoying where what you’ve done is totally free for people. Therefore, I usually cope with these situations by having deals with them. First, I told them honestly that everyone would need to survive with jobs, even them, themselves. I would still charge them the design fees, but meanwhile offering them with a better price to let them feel they have got the “benefits” already by having a cheaper price although it’s just a skill of marking up the price quotation. Then, it’s upon their choices, whether to accept it or decline it as friends are not only to take benefits. We must respect each other’s career and job. Case scenario 2 : clients o

Answer: CV is like a window for us to apply for jobs. However, there are key points that we need to pay attention to as only a good CV will grab employers' attention. It sells our strongest skills and accomplishments and tells the employers that we are a match for the position or project.

Activity 1 Answers       1.  Seeking perfection at a particular task or job is achievable. However, the goal of being perfect in life is altogether a different story. Humans aren't perfect where we have emotions, personalities and many more. Therefore, I would like to discuss the weaknesses first. Sometimes, weakness isn’t a shameful thing where it could be a skill too. I would say my weakness is I’m “too flexible” with anything that it would let some people grant from me. The biggest problem is that I would feel this is an order that I hope there wouldn't be any quarrel between this because I’m tired of getting involved with wrangles. However, if it is over my limit, I would stand up against myself to protect myself but it would not always be. Another weakness is leadership, where I’ve always tried so hard to learn these skills.
