After taking Comm 299, I’ve learned how to speak in front of crowds; network; target my resume/cover letter and cold call possible employers. But what have I learned about myself?
In my first semester at Sauder, and in Comm 299, I was thrust in front of a crowd of 20 and forced to speak about random topics. I learned that I am capable of speaking in front of crowds and that it wasn’t frightening as I had made it out to be.
In the second half of Comm 299, and after completing the resume/cover letter assignment (even though I received a 0), I have learned that I have skills that I hadn’t realized before. I have also learned that I am able to get any job I want, as long as I put myself out there and send out my resume/emails or make phone calls.
