Initially, I came to the UBC hoping of pursue my academic, as well as athletic goals. After playing on the UBC Rugby team for two years, I decided to focus my time elsewhere. More specifically, I&#8217;ve been working to introduce myself into the work force and begin my professional career.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in California, in the Silicon Valley, I knew that I wanted to end up working in the tech\/ SaaS industries. As this long-time goal is becoming more realistic, I want to ensure that, to the best of my ability, I&#8217;m prepared. My hopes for this class are to develop more specific, and applicable English skills that will directly translate into a professional environment. Through internship opportunities etc, I am beginning to see the importance of more finite skills. These skills include, but are not limited too, professional communications, media presence, resume, cover letters, correspondence, etc.<\/p>\n<p>With these skills in place, I hope to graduate from the UBC in 2021 and begin my career in sales or marketing in the SaaS industry. I believe that the skills taught in this class will allow me to be more successful in the pursuit of a job and more successful in the role.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Evan Ruiz, and I am a fourth year student at the University of British Columbia, studying Interdisciplinary Studies- Behavioral Marketing and Sales.
