Dear Brad

My name is Sharon and I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic with a diploma in business management, specializing in human resource. I am currently pursuing my degree in bachelor in hospitality business at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). 

The reason for pursuing a specialized degree was that I enjoy the process of interacting with people from different backgrounds. It gives me a sense of satisfaction when I resolved problems that they encountered. Having prior experience in the retail sector and hotel industry has given me many learning opportunities and helped me in choosing my future career path. 

Recently, I had the opportunity to intern in the housekeeping department at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore ,which was the most challenging yet best experience. My responsibilities include cleaning rooms, checking rooms and being a housekeeping coordinator. I had to work with various departments in the hotel, and this made me realized the importance of communication. There was once when I overlooked a message sent by another department, which resulted in a guest incident. Since then, I paid more attention when a message is communicated to me.

These past experiences has also allowed me to discover my strengths and weaknesses. Being a housekeeping coordinator, I have developed effective listening skills and portrayed non-verbal cues to others when I am engaged with a guest. However, I tend to get nervous during presentations and this affects my delivery of the content to the audience. In the form of writing, mistakes such as grammar, tenses and limited vocabulary becomes a barrier when writing a good report or article. 

Hence, I hope that I would be able to increase my knowledge in communication through consistent efforts in reading, writing and speaking.

Thank you.

Regards

Sharon Loo
