What I have learned from COMM 293
Apr 3rd, 2011 by chrischoi
COMM 293 has allowed me to learn some valuable skills, some that I know I will use for a long time. From the two major assignments given to us (i.e. Resume and Coverletter) in this course, I was able to improve my portfolio. I learned how to create a strong resume that heavily focuses on experience rather than on grades and awards. This has been really helpful because it allows me to sell myself and make myself more competitive over other applicants. I learned that it was extremely important to use C.A.R. statements to state experience and back them up with examples and the results that come after. Moreover, this course allowed me to learn how to write my first cover letter. Additionally, in the first term of comm 299, this really helped me get better at public speaking and give me more confidence overall. The biggest thing I’ve learned in this course is getting a head start on my career which i would never have had the motivation to on my own.
