I have been here, at UniRazak City Campus for almost three weeks.Why am I here? Well, actually I am one of the trainees for BeST Program. Some might wonder what BeST Program is? BeST stands for Biotechnology Entrepreneurship Special Training. This is a fully funded program by BiotechCorp. Basically, BeST is a six-month intensive program, which combines classroom-based instructions, laboratory works and industry internship. The purpose is to equip the participants with vital knowledge and skills for entry-level positions within biotechnology or biotechnology-related companies.
I honestly feel very lucky and proud to be chosen as one of the participants for this BeST Program. Over the past two weeks, I learned and gained many useful inputs. The topics that had been discussed were Effective Resume and Cover Letter (by Madam Farahiya and Madam Liza), Effective Meeting (by Madam Suzelina and Madam Iris D’ Cruz), Public Speaking Techniques (by Mr. Farizal), Advanced Report Writing (by Madam Farahiya and Madam Liza), and Business Writing (by Miss Sofia and Miss Tara). All these topics are very relevant and important in order to help myself grow further professionally.
Throughout these topics, I had learned on how to catch the employer’s attention through an impressive resume and cover letter, how to conduct an effective and successful meeting, valuable tips to improve communication skills, as well as some techniques on writing business and advance report.
