What is your biggest weakness?

I know that my weakness is English because English is not my main language. But when I came here I immediately enrolled in English classes. I also use the internet to learn and practise more about grammar. In these ways I have improved my English and I feel I'm getting better now. I'll keep learning to make it perfect.

My biggest weakness is that I am a little shy and a nervous person. But once people get to know me, soon they find me a warm and friendly person.

My biggest weakness is in always being critical of myself and I think I can panic sometimes. But now I'm learning to reflect and do more planning so that I don't panic but learn from each situation.

I think that my biggest weakness is when I want to say no, it's difficult to say no. So most of the time I just say OK or yes instead of no. But I understand now that I have to change this negative point and become a more assertive person.

Reflections on ABC article

I think everyone should follow this example of the four ladies in

Mums making a big difference

I decided that I will donate some of my baby's clothes that no longer fit her.

I would like to join the community as a volunteer. Working for babies is a good way to contribute yourself.

Reflections on cover letters session

My cover letter wasn't very good because when I wrote my cover letter I was in a hurry. Next time I would take more time to think about what I'm going to write and get more information on the subject that I'm writing about.

I read the cover letter document and prepared my cover letter at home. When you are prepared for the lesson, it's easy to follow through all the presentation.

Why did you choose this career path?

I chose this career path because I consider myself to have so much patience for children. I like to play and assist them in learning. Also I like to see how they grow and develop and I like to supervise them and help them to achieve each development stage. In addition, I have good energy levels to work with children. Also I have more than 5 years experience in working with children.

Children are the most important part of every society. I chose this course and career path because I am passionate about children and I enjoy interacting with them. I would like to know about their world and to talk with them in their language. I love to feel with them and help them to meet their needs (health, nutrition, safety) and I love to give them quality care.

I chose this career path because I consider myself a very enthusiastic, patient and responsible person who also likes teaching and working with children. I decided to work with children because they have a lot of potential and I can guide their learning while they are playing. This requires a lot of planning, especially in activities but I am willing to do it. And also one of my goals is to make children understand basic science concepts.

Are we ready for our interviews?

Looking after babies

I understand that babies discover the world by the sense of taste and it is very easy for them to swallow small objects that can cause choking. In my last job I always removed and put away all the small toys or objects that may choke a small child.

OH&S and toys

I know small toys may be swallowed by young children. These toys are potential choking hazards. So in my last job I labelled all the toys for the appropriate age groups and kept the small toys out of reach of 0-2 children.
