First of all, I know much more about myself. After finishing the online questionnaire (the StrengthsFinder), I figured out lots of my strengths that I didn’t realize before, which helps me make clear targets on how to strengthen myself.
Secondly, I learned lots of useful interview tips. After the lecture focusing on interview, I learned how to shake hands, how to impress the interviewer, and how to effectively present myself. All of these will definitely contribute to my future development. The mock interview is particularly necessary, it helps me know better about the process of a real interview.
Lastly, I learned how to write an attractive resume or cover letter. As an international student from China, i knew nothing about the skills on writing resumes and cover letters before. The COMM299 class taught me how to write an official and professional resume which can effectively present myself. Also, the COMM299 class taught me how to write a cover letter which can effectively match myself to the job posting.
I believe the professional skills learned in this course will definitely contribute to my future development.
