my reflection on meeting activity

Student success
Time of meeting : 11:25 am
Venue: W007

Chair: Abdulrahman
Minute taker: Salem
Participant: Rashid


In this meeting we discussed how  the students could achieve success in their study.
In the beginning Abdulrahman welcomed us, then he passed the agenda to us.
We discussed 5 topics; time management, focus on study, motivation, friendship and suitable major. I think the selection of topics was very good.
The first item we discussed was the time management; Salem said that making a timetable is the best solution to manage the student time. And all the members agreed with Salem.
The next topic was focus on study; we discussed how a student could focus in his study and what are the distractions that affect  the student, and we pointed out that focusing on homework will help a lot in success.
But I think the most important issues were the motivation and the friendship; we all agreed that if the student has something to motivate him he will push himself to do better and better in the study. Also the friends could affect  the student average, so all students should choose their friends carefully.
At last we talked about the suitable major, and Abdulrahman was fixed in this this point; he said each student has to choose the major he likes not only the one that they are good in.

In conclusion, the motivation, friendship and time management are the most important things to be successful.

interview reflection 1

Interview with Abdulla Eissa ; application to one of the ADNOC companies.
On 15th  February 2012
Interviewers, Mr. Hedley, Ahmad and Ahmad Yousef.
The interviewers were nice to Abdulah; they were fair with him,  asking  good straight questions,but Ahmad Yousef was a little bit hard with his questions; I think he tried to make Abdulla nervous. But Abdulla was so confident in his interview.
Ahmad Yousef asked Abdulla many questions like, do you have experience before, can you work under pressure and can you prove that to me, can you work outside and inside.
Mr. Hedley was simple with his questions; for example he asked him to tell them about himself, and why do you want to work at our company and do you have experience to work in a team.
Ahmad didn’t ask a lot of questions but he asked Abdulla about what salary he is expecting from the company. And he asked him about what he likes to do in his free time.
Abdulla was very confident in answering the questions and he was very clear. He mentioned that he can work under pressure, he can work outside or inside and he is patient in his work. And he said he chose this company because it gives a good salary.
At the end I think that the interviewers were satisfied with Abdulla and I think that he left a good impression about himself.
