Reflective Essay: Post Assignment Cover Letter

I also had to create a resume my senior year but I updated it last year, but yes it definitely needs some work. Yes, I agree with you that from the readings I also learned that you are not the primary audience. It is also not just one person but multiple people because you never know who is going to be reviewing your documents. This will also be my first time adding a cover letter. I think we both had very similar challenges that we face that we need to fix on our resumes.

From my first days at The College of Wooster, I can tell that I will be aptly prepared to have a successful future both during college and beyond. I’ll immediately be challenged and engaged by the First Year Seminar which will provide me with opportunities to make friends, engage in a topic of interest, and further develop my writing skills. In addition, this seminar will prepare me for college success.

This essay is a reflective account on my experience within the introductory period of my practice when caring for a patient. The essay will give the definition of reflection.

This essay is going to reflect on the importance of good communication with patients.

My cover letter started off a little rocky at first. I was new to the whole cover letter so I reviewed a few different cover letters until I got the idea. After I got my draft back with the comments to improve my cover letter I knew I had a lot of work to do. The first change I started to work on was my skills mentioned in my second paragraph. I had many of my skills listed but none of them showed how this related to the job I was applying for. Once I decided on the new skills I was going to use I had to think of a way that I could show evidence on

Writing had always been one of my weaknesses, and it was challenging to write past the high school essay form that constricted my ideas for so long. One of the many problems I have with writing is creating an introduction and thesis statement. I try to use the traditional brainstorming approach, but I find myself thinking of off-topic subjects. One of the papers within my portfolio shows the type of writer I was a few years ago, I never used any writing guidelines to check my work, I only used prior knowledge. I know that my ability to write and express my ideas, thoughts and knowledge has grown stronger each semester. My writing has become more concise and I no longer fear turning in

I was really anxious and felt overwhelmed, because I had held off the whole entire essay that I had two weeks to do in just two days. I had never done so much in just two days and I felt I did horrible on this essay. I feel this is my worst essay of the semester, because I procrastinated to the very last days.

Explain how you were able to use your existing knowledge and competencies from many subjects to succeed in your task.

This is an assignment about a cover letter I made in Survey of Writing. This assignment was given to helped me experience what a cover letter requires and how to write one. This assignment involves information skills because I needed to do my own research on what a cover letter is specifically and examples of other cover letters. When assigned this assignment I had no idea what a cover letter was. I needed to do my own research and receive help from my peers. I am proud of the amount of time I spent on the assignment and the results of my cover letter. This assignment has also given me a chance to experience something that I will soon do in the future. I never thought that I would do a great job on it but in the end, I got a good grade. I was also surprised how quickly I was able to apply the guidelines and

What comes to your head when you think of writing? Personally, I think of a long dreadful process, that I am not particular too good at. Even though one half of my brain wants to hate writing, the other half realizes how important of a quality writing really is. Over my high school and middle school years I have learned many of my own deficits when it comes to writing. Attempting to over come many these deficits in my writing, I attempt to seek perfection in my limited strengths. I am going to discuss assets and weaknesses of mine, that make me believe that I am no better than just a average writer.

     One of the techniques I am going to use through out college is talking to

Two years ago, when a professor suggested that I apply to the Honors Program, I was hesitant. I had previously entertained the idea of applying, but allowed anxiety and insecurities to prevent me from doing so. When I explained this to the professor, she encouraged me, stating that she believed the Honors Program would make my time at UH more rewarding by granting me access to a community of likeminded peers, and advised me to further reflect upon my decision. I am indebted to that professor; without her encouragement, it is unlikely that I would have embarked on this journey that has greatly enriched my undergraduate experience and given me the opportunity to grow academically.

Ever since I began reading as a small child, I have loved literature and the written word. However, even though this has always been the case, I originally was not a literature major when I entered Arizona State University. Instead, I began my college career as a Physics major. What I came to realize after completing some of the required courses for the major was not that I was not good at physics since I had done exceptionally in all my classes, but that I was more interested in reading the articles and writing the assignments for my classes than I was in actually doing research in the physics department. Therefore, even as I was pursuing an entirely different degree, my love of literature and writing was still fundamental to my learning, and it was this that eventually lead to me changing my major to English Literature. Coming to this decision to switch majors was difficult, however the experience was beneficial in the long run. Not only am I now enjoying the work I am doing as a student more, I also understand that writing, editing, and reading critically is important to all disciplines. Had I not first begun my

While attending nursing school years ago, I was given the choice of continuing my studies in practicing bedside nursing or nursing research. At that time, I desired to practice nursing research, however, I was influenced to practice bedside nursing, which I chose. Promoting the scholarship of application allows me to enhance my knowledge in an area of practice I originally desired.

My full name is Matthew Tak Hung Tam, and I am a senior majoring in business management. I am currently enrolled at USC Aiken for the fifth year. Before I was a business major, I was an engineering major, but I never had much passion for it. This is why I decided to change my major to business management during my sophomore year. While attending USC Aiken, I am part of a social organization and working as a student worker. I have been the Vice president of the USCA Table Tennis Club, since October 2015. I am also working for the USCA Helpdesk that is located in the Business and Education building. I have gained so much experience by learning how to fix computers. It has been an amazing experience, and I am planning on

Bishop led us through invention exercises, revision exercises, language activities, and yes, reflective writings. For each essay, we had to write what she called a “process note” in which we explained our processes of working on the essay, as well as our thought processes in developing the ideas. We also discussed what we might want to do with (or to) the essay in the future, beyond the class. At the end of the semester, we composed a self-evaluative cover letter for our portfolio in which we discussed each of our essays from the semester and recorded our learning and insights about writing and about the genre of nonfiction.
