I am Ng Hsuen Huey, currently a 3rd year undergraduate pursuing my life sciences courses in National University of Singapore (NUH) and expecting to graduate this coming May.
I am currently taking the role as an Executive Committee in Chinese-Varsity Christian Fellowship (CVCF) in NUS. This job requires me to plan and organize activities every week. This provides me a good opportunity to build up my leadership, management, communication and organizing skills. My heavy workload in both the academic and CCA has equipped me with the ability to handle stress and time management to achieve a balance between both fields.
I am an outgoing person who loves to interact with people. As such, I enjoy learning new things and meeting new friends from different countries who have broaden my horizon. Besides mastering English, Chinese and Malay, I have also chosen to study Vietnamese and Bahasa Indonesia with the purpose to interact with people regardless of different cultures. Last August, I had even attended East- Asia Regional Conference (EARC) held in Tokyo, which has built up my network with friends from universities of different countries and with varied cultural background.
Apart from interacting with people of similar age, I am also interested to making friends with children and teens of secondary school age. I am currently taking the role as a teacher or mentor in a teens’ fellowship to lead a group of teenagers of secondary school age. Besides teaching, I enjoy listening to their spiritual sharing and guiding them through different difficulties. Every year, I would also join CVCF mission team to organize children and teenagers’ camps in different regions of Malaysia.
Before I enrolled into NUS, I have taken up a few tuition teaching positions in both tuition centers and home tuition for 4 years, which have enriched my teaching experience. As a result of my past teaching experience, I have a great enthusiasm for teaching and am ready to choose teaching as my future career path.
Post #7 - Final Reflection

I feel that it would be better to state ya aspiration of becoming a teacher in the initial paragraphs. Then you can elaborate the points in the subsequent paragraphs tailoring to your main interest. I must say you have a wealth of experience in social relations, judging from your active role in church activities.
ReplyDeleteIt is also ambiguous to readers when you state 'last August'. It would be more clear if you state a specific year to go along with the month, for example 'In August 2008'.
I believe that it's NUS instead of NUH.
ReplyDeleteI will suggest that you include your
capabilities in teaching and your passion in teaching. Other than that, I think it's a good work. Cheers!
I think “last year” in this case is alright. The date of the post will be displayed on top so the reader will know which year you are referring to. However, if there is no date to reference, then you should put down the year on your biodata.
ReplyDeleteAfter today’s mock interview, I realized that you have a wealth of experience in teaching and in translation work for example. Perhaps if you have a personal website, you can list your experience on that website and post a link to it on your blog?
You can also try to simplify your sentences, like "I am currently taking on the role of..." to "I am on the executive committee" or "I am currently a teacher or mentor...".
Overall, this is a very comprehensive biodata.
I agree with Jackson that the "last year" is fine in this post but perhaps include the year if this biodata is posted elsewhere for example the company's website.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could include any hobbies or sports that you enjoy if any. Otherwise, your biodata is rather diverse.
Yup, thanks for you comment. Sorry for the mistake of "NUH". I personally think that it's more appropriate to put down the specific year instead of "last year" as readers might not bother to refer to the date of the post. So thanks Rauf for reminding me:)
