What I learnt about myself at Commerce 299

Not a whole lot to be honest with you. Maybe I am too young to understand the reasons for this class, but I found a lot of things to be very suited for finance, accounting and marketing etc. but not a lot towards students in other fields. I was told to wear a suit for all my interviews as you never want to be under-dressed, but it is a known fact that in fields where I want to end up going, or industries which I want to work in potentially in the future, a suit could go against you. I know my capabilities very well, and I thought that maybe if I were to redo my resume to fit the standards of Commerce 299, I would realize the magnitude of my capabilities, rather it had an opposing effect making me realize what I could have done which I didn’t do. And not to mention now, whenever I go to any company’s info session, what I generally find is people with the exact same structure as my resume, I always thought that you have to be different from everyone else, but when the first thing they see is just another resume of the same structure, it becomes that much harder for you to look different.

There were things I learnt in Commerce 299 which I am sure will be helpful in the future, but I can’t say a lot of things I learnt about myself in the course.
