Letter of Introduction
Subject: Formal Introduction
Dear Ms Lim,
My name is Wong Ze Xuan and I am writing this letter to formally introduce myself to you. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic in 2017 with a Diploma in Business Process and Systems Engineering.
Based on the scope of my diploma, I was given the opportunity to have a gist of what both Business and Engineering had to offer. Leveraging on the diverse knowledge given to me by both areas of specialization, I was able to weigh my options and decide on which path I wanted to pursue. I ended up pursuing Engineering as I felt that I was more of a hands-on person and enjoy solving problems through critical thinking. My internship at LTA was the main reason why I chose to enroll into SIE (Land), as I was able to witness first-hand how the engineers there worked from concept to design and to implementation.
Having spent 3 years in Temasek Polytechnic, I have had the opportunity to work and interact with different people during projects and group discussions. This made me realize how important it was to have good communication skills to ensure common understanding and that everyone is working towards the same goal. A strength that I have gained through that would be the ability to speak tactfully to allow for honest feedbacks to be given while still respecting the other party’s feelings. An example would be when one of my group mates compiled two pages worth of references using the wrong format. Instead of just telling him that he had done everything wrong, I acknowledged his efforts then proceeded to remind him about the referencing format which we were supposed to use.
However, a weakness of mine would be the fear of confrontation. Many a times during a group project, conflicts arise and I often find myself staying out of it in fear that my comments may worsen the situation. However, this also meant that the quality of work may end up being compromised. Hence, one of my goals would be to overcome this fear and practice being more assertive without coming off as difficult.
All in all, I aim to acquire new communication skills which would in turn boost my confidence and improve the way I handle situations, so as to prepare myself for when I enter the workforce in the future.
Yours Sincerely,
Wong Ze Xuan
