Thanks to Comm 299, I’ve learned explicitly what my strengths are, and am able to fully describe them if I were to be asked. I can now go into an interview and actually do a pretty okay job. My resume and cover letter has become a hundred times better and is now formatted in a professional manner. I can also look for a job that is suited for me with efficiency and much less effort. I have learned networking, and making new contacts in the business world are a vital part to an individual’s success in their career. In learning these, I have learned about myself which one’s I am somewhat proficient in and which one’s need improvement. Also, I realized I want to do something I am passionate about, not just for the money. Although I do value the benefits of money, my values are a higher priority. Comm 299 has taught me a lot about myself and has also taught me new skills and valuable information that will no less aid me in becoming more prepared for the real world.
