Know your strengths and weaknesses
Tuesday, December 28, 2010 | 10:44 PM | 0 comments
Hello readers,
Tonight I would like to share a little bit tips that I got from MASC :)
As we knows most people find it difficult to identify their weak areas. So do I but I realized it is important to be able to do so because, in order to become better, you need to improve your weak areas. In fact, it is a key step in undertaking your career planning.
- Try to remember some of the comments you received from your peeps and teachers when you were in school.
- Make a list of words that describe you best.
This could give you some idea of your weak areas. Be brutally honest and realistic about yourself.
To understand the numerous opportunities and threats in
- your chosen fields.
- read newspaper.
- watch the news, business programmes on TV.
- surf the net.
- talk to your career counsellors.
I believe the answers that you get from doing the above should help you to draw up a road map with various possible paths that you can take in your career planning.

"What's so crazy about this month, Eqa?"
"How to score the higher pointer this semester, Eqa?"
"Its to tough right, Eqa?"
"Did you gain some weight, Eqa?"

I got myself on the weighing machine and
waited eagerly for the machine to display my weight.
And then . . .
"Haa! da naik **kg

Another thing I'd like to declare is the few lecturer
of my subject which brings us to rest a lot.

Tips to Build Your Elevator Speech
Wednesday, December 22, 2010 | 9:00 PM | 0 comments
Hello readers,
Today I would like to share a little bit about tips that I have been got in MASC. This tips I got from Mrs. Salika as a members on PriceWaterHouseCoopers. I think everyone knows right what is PwC?
Those who from accounting student might be dream to work with one of the world's largest professional services firms employing more than 163,000 people across 151 countries.
The firms of the PriceWaterHouseCoopers (PwC) global provide industry-focused Assurance, Tax and Advisory services to build public trust and enhance value for clients and their shareholders. Okay, back to the tips, how to build your elevator speech.
1. It's all about you!!
The first step to introducing yourself effectively is knowing who you are and what makes you unique.
Think about :
- your internships and volunteer experiences.
- your strongest skills.
- your strengths and passion, career wise.
- what kind of jobs, companies or industries are you pursuing now?
- what makes you memorable and distinctive?
2. Work that speech!
Think of your speech in 3 parts:
Who are you?
Your primary goal is to introduce yourself. Share your name and place yourself in context by explaining what university you attend, what you're studying or where you currently work.
What are your major accomplishments/passions/unique skills?
Leverage the skills you listed earlier and frame them in a way that is meaning to a potential employer.
What do you want?
This is the part of your pitch that lets the other person know what you're looking for and the topic you're interested in talking about.3. Body language
The effectiveness of your elevator pitch is not just based on what you say but how you say it. You may be completely serious, passionate and confident but your body and clothing may be sending a different message. Image matters. Consider :
- Posture
- Eye contact
- Volume & tone of voice
- Facial expression (smile!)
- Clothing
- Handshake
4. Practice! Practice!
Once you're satisfied with your elevator speech content and delivery, be sure to practice! If possible, try to video or audio tape yourself to see if you have any speech tics ("like" or "um" or "you know") or if you have a nervous habit like putting your hands in your pockets or brushing your hair aside.
p/s : so I hope this tips would help you on your speech :)

Malaysian Accounting Students convention
Friday, December 3, 2010 | 9:11 PM | 0 comments
Hello readers,
First of all I want to ask, did you ever heard about MASC ? or many of you may have heard of MASC for many times. You may have heard your friends talking about it, seen it in Facebook or anything else but What is MASC ? Why should you join MASC ?
Malaysian Accounting Students Convention is organised by University of Malaya Accounting Club (UMAC) which serves as a platform, aim to provide extensive networking opportunities for accounting students for both public and private universities. At the same time MASC enables students to reflect current issues and thus, become a highly competent, ethical and socially responsible accountant in the future.
So tonight, I write a little bit about MASC because I will be there!GOSH! I was feel pretty excited for the very coming MASC 2010 because as I know its was be a great event plus its a very rare chance to have this kind of convention especially when I get to meet various friends from different university and collages. Besides, MASC 2010 is a convention that provides student with information from CEO's about the important issues which is very much needed in my later life. What more I heard, when MASC 2010 throw in a chance for all of student to be able to have KL Explorace and enhance student communication skill! Yeayy! It's may have a GREAT GREAT GREAT FUN in KL!
I hope within these 4 days, I will have chances to broaden my social network, get to know a lot of friends in accountancy field from other universities and widen my perspective on several accounting issues!Awesome!
