Freeeeee

Yey, the exam is over..

Yesterday was the presentation..

I was presenting with 8 other presenters; 3 from J*PA and 1 each from M*OF, J*PJ, K*DN, K*LN and M*OA.. I was the 2nd last presenter and the time keeper for the 1st 4 presenters. None were from D*PA 1/2008. 1 is a senior batch, the rest are junior batch and I am the youngest of all :D

There were 2 lady panels.

How did mine go?

The panels only commented on the slides like the rest of us, (they should be more interesting) and only 1 question came from them: "What are the challenges I experienced in order to complete my task as 41 at my place". Oh, there was another comment, they said I talked too fast like bullet train. haha. I guess, it's in my blood, didn't you notice how fast the Chinese people talk? :)

But they did ask more question on the presenter before (from J*PA) and after me (from M*OA). So, how should I conclude? Whether the panels like or dislike my presentation or maybe my work are just too technical, they didn't have a clue what to ask.

Oh overall, the panels commented (on all presenters) for our future TKs (SKT presentation is until TK6, did you know that?):

1. on the slides. It should be more interesting, with colours, arrows not the usual standard table form. P*TD should be more creative in presentation to impress the panels;

2. Too wordy and the words are too small. Power point won't be called power point if the words are not in point form;

3. Eye-contact, mostly had their eyes on the screen or on the panels but not with the audience;

4. More SKTs doesn't mean that it shows that you are doing so much works therefore you should be given more marks. Just present the most important things and elaborate more on that to the panels to show that you're competent doing it. (Some presented until 12 SKT. I presented only 4 SKT and the panels said 3 are enough..);

5. Explain and don't read from the slide. You will lose your eye-contact and it shows that you're not ready;

6. Don't mix the language, (Malaysian can't live without the word "so" nowadays isn't it?);

7. Time, mostly presented less than 8minutes when we were actually been given 10 minutes;

8. Practice. Practice with your friends, colleagues before the presentation. (I practiced with Wan and we couldn't help laughing at each other during the 1st few times); and

9. When you're presenting your work, show the enthusiasm that you like doing what you're doing now and the job are very interesting to do (even when you actually hate what you're doing and they are the most boring thing on earth).

Unlucky for those from J*PA, they received the most questions, just because the panels are from the same department.

Now we're free again, watched 2 movies (at home) yesterday immediately after the presentation and ordered delivery pizza. Ah, heaven :)
