The trainer for this session is Assoc. Prof Mohd Khir Ashari. As I had expected, he would use a different approach since this is our first time to have a proffessor teaching us. The content of the subjects might be boring and mundane to most of us, however, I don't think it is entirely useless.
I heard some mumbles from other trainees that they think the content is irrelevant to us as newbies in the working world. A guy actually did not mumbled. Anyone can barely heard what he thinks. Well, I am in no position to comment on his opinion but I think the content was very informative and educative as well.
The reference used by Prof Khir is Meetings-Their Law and Practices by Lawton, Rigby and Hall and the examples used was how to conduct an anual general meeting of big companies. New things that I learned are what are our rights during a meeting, we should propose a motion and once presented it is belong to the meeting to decide on the motion. The motion itself would be the resolution and even the proposer could not cancel the motion after it is presented.
and some other things that involves formalities and professionalism.
Some might said it is irrelevant, however, we can picked up new knowledge a bit here and there. Since I had work for a month as an RA, I already had in mind that we can not expect that our work would always been about the research that we are currently doing. Sometimes our employer would need us to write a formal letter, or deal with the administration, or deal with the suppliers. So, I think, if we want to enter a big company like Sime Darby Berhad, we must prepare ourselves with whatever that comes possible. Maybe our new boss need us to make a meeting on phone with their customers. Well, it is POSSIBLE, believe me..
