The Web Folio assignment provided the opportunity to consolidate my professional and educational experience in one place. I enjoyed the process of perfecting my resume and cover letter, and found it incredibly useful to get my peer’s perspective and feedback on my work. It is not often that your resume or cover letter is read by others, and the assumptions related to clarity and readability that you make regarding your own work are sometimes detrimental when applying to work positions.
The experience inspired me to create my own website outside of the ENGL 301 course, where I can add my professional interests and thoughts, and use as a visual and interactive element to point prospective employers to when applying to jobs.
