Self Introduction

Subject: Self-introduction

Dear Mr Brad,

My name is Terence Ong and this is a formal introduction of myself. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with a diploma in aerospace technology. Since young, I was fascinated by how things work and that curiosity has led me to obtain my diploma. When I was in the army, my primary job scope was handling networks and servers . This has sparked my interest in the Information Technology (IT) field and with my passion in engineering, I ended up in Telematics.

I feel that one of my strength is that I make people laugh. Hence I am good at small talks and ice breaking. I believe this is why some people will find me approachable.

My strength can also sometimes become my weakness. Because of my easy going character, I tend to make formal presentations informal. I feel that I am also bad at expressing myself. I tend to beat around the bush and find it difficult to get my point across to the listeners. I feel that being able to express oneself is an art and a skill which I fall short.

Thus, this is a really useful module for me to brush up my communication skills and to get my point across with ease. I look forward to learn as much as I can in this module to further upgrade myself.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Terence Ong
