categorizing the means why, who and what you are looking for. Defining,

Abstraction:
Learning the English Language is important as it is essential to every part and interaction in
our everyday lives. Every sentence we use has the purpose of enabling the second language
learners to move beyond vocabulary and grammar to the functional aspect of
communication.
The topic and the exercises aim the enhancement of the learners’ communication
skill as this new academic year brings a lot of energy and eagerness to students, teachers
and parents (although in a different way like in this new normal learning). It is high time to
practice self-introductions especially in this timely online platform of education.
Introducing or discovering oneself is in educational atmosphere and for career, which are
both vital in one’s life.

‘You’ personally knows the background, however, there are some instances that you
have to discover and later on realize that you are a person with different capacities and
talents that others could discover or able to describe who you are with them especially in
applying for a job or while you are already in the working industry.
So, before you look for the perfect job, write a CV/Resume for job application, you
need to do some research. Researching yourself is the key to finding job that is right for
you. However, the first thing you need to do when about to start the job-hunting process is a
self-assessment of your own strengths and weaknesses. This process will help you identify
and assess the skills, qualifications, experiences, knowledge and personal characteristics
that employers are looking for.
