Self Reflection #2

The 307 course had helped me become more aware of my weaknesses and also gave me the recommended tools to strengthen them. It also helped me understand how I could become a more effective in writing resume and cover letters. I always expect a higher quality of my work, since this course was a lot of work, but it was totally worth it.

What I like about this course is that it teaches me a skill and then let me puts it into practice. It is very useful for students transitioning from college to the working field.  Moreover, I mostly enjoyed the resume and interview sections. I am now more effective in writing as a result of my work in this course, and I am now aware of the importance of considering the audience I am targeting. I am also aware of the ways to properly structure documents. In addition, students can learn a lot if they are willing to take criticism that it is not personal but as a way to help them. I also realized in this course by writing in professional manner and in my resume that I have made many mistakes, and this course helped me change that. Finally, the group project also helped me realize my own strengths and weaknesses regarding my writing skills and teamwork skills by working in a group environment. I am more aware of knowing what my message is when writing and the group projects had shown us our communication skills with each other as a group.

In conclusion, this course has been a great help in starting my pathway to a successful career. The part of the course about cover letters and resumes could be really useful for my future career.
