Dear Ms. Tan,

Application for Manufacturing Engineer in Wafer Fabrication Department

I would like to apply for the position of Manufacturing Engineer in Wafer Fabrication Department (ref. code: ENMFG0111A-E, dated Jan. 6, 2011) which is posted on your company website.I was very excited when I saw this vacant job position with TECH. Meanwhile, after reading through the details about overall introduction of your company’s Profile, Mission Statement, Corporate Values and Milestone as well as the Message from the President Lee Kok Choy—“Develop your Potential to the Fullest”, I was strongly touched and attracted by the company culture.

I am PRC student on the MOE Scholarship Program since Dec.2007 till now. After 2 years’ study at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, I earned my way up as a top student majoring in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE). Currently, my cumulated Grade Points Average (CGPA)is 4.82 out of 5.0 and I was honored to be on Dean’s List in 2010.

I am a very outgoing and energetic person and I am involved in many extra-curricular activities. For example, I am the Chairperson of Traditional Teakwondo Club in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, which provided me with a lot of opportunities to develop myself on many skills—Planning and organizing events; Problem solving; Communication and motivation, etc. These experiences are very important to the job position that I am applying for, which requires the same skills that I have gained through managing the Traditional Teakwondo Club in the past 2 years.

I am a hard-working and strong willed person and I am able to work on permanent 12 hours per day or night shift. Based on my previous work experience, I worked very well with a team and have the capability of decision making. Therefore, I believe my education background and skills could assist TECH greatly.

If you have any questions about me and my qualifications, or you would like to schedule an interview, please give me a call at 65-9476-1376. I would welcome the opportunity to talk about ways that I could put my experience and drive to work for you.

Sincerely,

Ella Liu Chang

Resolving Interpersonal Conflict---BF&GF

In the fact of life, conflict occurs frequently at different level of communication, for example, at work, between friends or within families. Also, conflicts with a loved one are in the different situation from negotiating with a stranger. Thus, to learn how to resolve the conflicts becomes more and more important. If the conflict is handled well, it will lead the person involved to be mature and deeper understanding.

I am the person who is quite talkative, but my boyfriend is poor in expression. Although the relationship has been maintain for more than two years, small conflicts still occur frequently between us. For example, a few days before, my boyfriend, my best friend and I had lunch together. I paid my full attention on talking with my friend and totally ignored that my boyfriend has a habit of napping. Unfortunately, he used up his patience to tolerate with the feeling of ignored and strode angrily. At that moment, I was so angry with his rude behavior and felt shy in front of my friend.

However, when I calmed down, the sense of guilt gradually came out and I realized that I need to show my respect not only to the audience, but also the person around me. Because I was also keen on face-saving, sending a text message was the best way for me to tell him my apologies in the tone of honesty. As expected, five minutes later, he replied me and forgave my fault.

At the end of the story, I want to mention that sometimes, conflict is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, a relationship with frequently conflict may be healthier than one with no observable conflict. Because nobody is prefect, the conflicts may help you find out and modify the weakness of your personality.

Therefore, what do you think about the interpersonal conflicts? Do you have the same problem between you and your lovers? Could you find a better solution to resolve the conflicts? Waiting for your sharing... ThanksJ
