Self reflection

This course helped me immensely in preparing for the coming future. Creating a CV, performing an interview as a potential employee and as an employer were useful exercises in gaining preliminary information about the business world. And the report about Toyota gave us knowledge of the necessary aspects in creating and managing a successful business.
Every person considering employment will have to make a CV. It is the first glimpse an employer gets of a potential employee. Thus it is of utmost importance to have a CV that will interest employers and a CV that can highlight your strengths. A CV must be easy to read, professional and quick to the point because an employer has many CVs to go through.  This course gave me this necessary informational and I was able to make my first CV. This knowledge will be a great asset to me in the future.
Most people fear the thought of having to go to interview. One is not sure of what the questions that will be asked are, and what the acceptable answers are. All of these questions were answered when performing the practical interview as a candidate for employment. I learned my strengths which I will be able to elaborate on. I also discovered my weaknesses which with some work I will hopefully be able to overcome.  Also doing the practical interview as an employer helped me learn what an employer look for in a potential employee.
Creating the report about Toyota taught me the necessary aspects needed to run a successful and multinational business. I hope to work in such a powerful company and one day I also aim to create my own business.  Learning about how Toyota functions and how it was able to remain successful even though it has many competitors gave me an idea of how the business world runs.  Also making this extensive research report taught me how to find information.
As we can see I learned many things for this course which will help me in the future in my college and even in my job in future.
