I think the most valuable thing I took away from Comm299 was the way we were always driven to think long-term career-wise and to be proactive in everything in which we were involved: from how we manage our time, to how to go on the hunt for a job, as well as just interacting with our peers on a day-to-day basis.
With the resume project – I wasn’t a fan of getting a zero, but there is no doubt that I came out of the course with a resume incomparably better than what I had at the start. Some common sense was certainly involved as well, but applying some of the interview and networking skills we learned in class as well as a top-notch resume and cover letter definitely contributed my success in lining up an internship this summer, through the COOL website I might add.
