Self-introduction and Expectations

T o: Mr. Blackstone From: Swathi Ramesh Subject: CPD 2 - Self-introduction and Expectations Dear Mr. Blackstone, I am Swathi Ramesh, a second year hospitality business student at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). Through this email, I aim to introduce myself and address my expectations for this CPD 2 module. I enrolled into SIT in 2017 after graduating from Republic Polytechnic with a diploma in Wellness, Lifestyle and Spa Management. I had limited options available with my ‘O’ levels results and decided to do something related to hospitality. During the course of my diploma, I had worked in retail outlets like Smiggle and Lovisa as a part-time sales assistant. My first hospitality job experience was with Banyan Tree Spa, Marina Bay Sands for my polytechnic internship. I was also offered a full-time position upon graduation. This opened my eyes to the hospitality industry in Singapore, and I discovered my interest in hotel management. Pursuing a degree was

Reflection: Skills on Wheels

-
For the micro-module, Skills on Wheels, I had chosen to complete the following 2 modules: 1.      Handle Face-to-Face Interview 2.      Converse with Confidence I felt that these two were the most relatable topics I would need to master before my IWSP which would be commencing next month.

Dear Prof. Blackstone and classmates, In this blog post, I will be sharing about my experience on an interpersonal communication issue I faced while working in a spa back in 2016. This issue involved my supervisor back then who I shall address as Ms. D and myself. It was only my first week at the spa as an intern and I was already asked to use the booking system after an intensive training. The spa was already lacking manpower and it was a busy season.   Additionally, I had no prior experience dealing with spa operations or let alone any hotel job experiences. Ms D was a supervisor who had extremely high expectations of all the employees in the spa and a “non-nonsense” person. As I was a newcomer, she paid no attention to me or the other intern leading to us being pretty guarded when she was around. On this particular day, the spa was extremely busy with limited time slots and one of the therapists had to go for a later break at 8pm when the usual break time is before 7pm
