    On these MyCourses pages, there are seven interviews with graduates from Aalto School of Chemical Engineering (or from its predecessors). Watch the interviews and write a short reflection (200-250 words) answering the following questions:

    a) Which communication skills at work seem most relevant for you after watching the interviews and why? Name three most relevant ones and give a short explanation on each.

    b) Reflect on your own communication skills based on your previous experience at work and in your studies. What are your strengths and which skills would you like to improve next?

    c) (Optional) Was there something in the interviews that surprised you or that you found confusing?

     Please submit your reflection here no later than Thursday 12 Nov.

    Prepare a pitch about yourself or your thesis work and record it with your phone/laptop/iPad. The pitch should be no longer than two minutes, but a shorter one is preferred. This exercise aims to help you practice summarizing and conveying your message in a short amount of time. Henni will give you more detailed instructions during our first Zoom workshop on week 47. You will need to submit your pitch latest on Friday, November 27th so you will have approximately two weeks to work on the pitch between the workshops.
    

    Students are supposed to share here as a message a link to their video pitches. Before sharing the link, make sure that others have sufficient rights to watch the video!
