COMM 299 was undoubtedly a class that everyone took for granted at the beginning of the year, because it was only 1 credit and for myself awkwardly placed on Fridays, I too fell into this assumption. However, as the end of the second term, likewise my first year of Sauder comes to an end, I can confidently say that COMM 299 has helped me immensely in preparing for my future as a business professional as well as having a better understanding of my strengths and weaknesses.

The greatest lesson I have learned was through resume writing. The first shock came as we took a glimpse of Phillipe’s extraordinarily long and intricate resume. We all thought to ourselves… uh oh. After the process of reconfiguring and “juicing up” out resumes, I can confidently say that I feel not only more confident about myself, but more importantly am able to analyze my previous work and volunteer experiences in depth, appreciating every aspect of them. I am happy to confirm that I have landed my first marketing job due to my new resume and I can only thank COMM 299 for this feat.
