reflection paper

The branding exercise requires us to create a picture, some tag lines, a slogan as well as the terms about jobs on an advertising poster to build ourselves as a brand and market ourselves through a two-minute sales pitch.
It took me a long time to think about how to build the visual brand for myself. Finally, I was inspired by the Chinese proverb “The sparrow may be small, but fully equipped.” My slogan was “though small, perfectly form” because of my petite body and strong mind. And I drew a sparrow and wrote down my tag lines and job terms around it. My descriptions about myself was that I am an easygoing, sociable and optimistic girl, <-- replace , with ; I like to make new friends and get along with others. Because I studied science subjects in China, I am logical and organized. In addition, I am enthusiastic about the new things/experiences. I am always curious about everything. For what I have to offer in the job, I would say a responsible attitude as well as professional knowledge and skills. My terms and conditions, when it comes to my job, are that I prefer to work in a friendly environment, get a fair salary and respect from my colleagues. I also want to gather good experiences in my job. Besides, I was am unwilling to work over time or lose balance between work and my life.
Before my presentation, I thought I would be very nervous, but out of to my surprise, my performance was nature natural and fluent. I believed that it was because I know myself very well. Additionally, it was my first time to give giving a presentation to others in English and therefore I prepared it fully.
In the feedback session, I get got few feedbacks from the audience. For the bright sides, they thought my poster and speech had a good structure and I explain the items on the poster clearly. On the other side, they thought I should speak much louder. To sum up, the brand exercise helped me recognized myself better.

[Sounds like an interesting experience!]
