Resume and Cover Letter Reflection Writing a resume and cover letter seems intuitively easy at the first glance. Not much to it, just list all that’s required, and you should be good to go. Yet this assignment opened my eyes on how much detail can collude with results. When I started this assignment, I listed everything as I thought it should be. But trouble to arise was when I read the resume back to myself. One challenge I faced was to word things in an order, so they are short and concise, yet descriptive enough to understand. Every time I thought I was being descriptive, it tends out to be either too long or too confusing for anyone but myself to understand. there’s a continuous process of editing, re-editing, and editing some more. There
This reflective memo has been composed to discuss my experience with developing a new resume using the information I’ve learned in a Professional Writing course. With this assignment, I was encouraged to explore beyond my comfort zone, and as a result I located a job I may actually consider applying too.

I actually gathered a lot of research on the topics of rhetoric and political campaigns, but the sources I used were ones that were related to my thesis. Which was, “Through news, social media and TV current politicians such as Donald Trump use their rhetorical tools to influence a much larger portion of the population’s way of thinking in the political sphere.” Sources that supported this thesis were ones related to news and politics, social media, and television. As well I used Donald Trump, as my example throughout this paper because of his current popularity and his interesting rhetorical uses. I disagreed a lot of biased information from a source that I later
According to my mother, who works in the HR department as a recruiter, a person should always take their time when writing a resume to avoid any mistakes and should choose their word choice wisely since they will only have 30 seconds to promote themself.

In addition to that, my mother advised me to list my skills such as languages I speak or any applications and programs I know how to use such as AutoCAD and Microsoft at the bottom of my

The main reason for attending university is to earn a degree and start a career that will create a successful future for the student. Besides taking numerous classes, one of the most important aspects of college is writing a college resume to acquire either an internship or a job to help the student build a foundation and gain experience for their desired occupation. Writing a college resume is like trying out for a football team. You want to be as direct and clear as possible, while also showing off a little here and there to gain recognition and separate yourself from the competition. To be a complete and effective college resume, the author must use concise yet informative and logical words that appeal to the reader, while also using a rigid and structured format that makes it easy for the reader to find the information he or she is looking for. A good college resume can lead a student to a lifelong career of success; a poorly written college resume can hold back a student’s progress into

In my mid semester report the area that identified that I could improve on happened to be working in Excel. During the second half of the semester I was able to improve in Excel by knowing what functions and information to use to record and graph accurate information. Improving in Excel helped prepare for the Lab Practical. Another area that I stated that I could improve upon was when collecting data to make to record the correct amount of significant figures needed for the data that was being recorded. I was able to improve on this when recording data and carefully examining the amount of what was being used in the experiment. By doing this I was able to make sure I was not forgetting any significant figures that would be valuable when reporting the end experiment.
In this course, I’ve learned the appropriate audience, purpose, structure, and voice for a cover letter. A cover letter accompanies a resume and is written formally. It is used to convince the company that you are fit to be hired, and to introduce yourself to them. The audience of a cover letter is the manager of a business or company. The purpose is to introduce yourself to a potential employer and to highlight any relevant skills you possess. The structure of a cover letter includes your address, the date, the recipient’s address, and a salutation. The opening paragraph states why you’re writing, establishes a point of contact, and gives a brief introduction of yourself. The body paragraphs highlight some of the more important points from your resume. The closing paragraph should politely request an interview at the employer’s convenience. Identify what supplementary material’s being sent, such as a writing sample or a portfolio. The reader should be thanked for their consideration and you should indicate that you’re looking forward to hearing from them. There should be a complimentary closing followed by your name and signature. The voice of a cover letter should be polite, formal, and concise.
