Starting off the course in term 1 with presentations and public speaking prepared me well for communicating in public. I learned how to research, project my voice, and present  my points in a concise manner. However, I think that the second part of the course was far more important. In term 2, my biggest reward coming out of the course was a new resume and cover letter. Looking at my resume now, I have more confidence in approaching employers and professionals. Starting from differentiating between result and transferable verbs, I have learned how to organize and format the content on my resume to present myself more professionally. What I most enjoy about Comm 299 is the lesson on building connections or networking. I have come to realize the importance of Information Interviews and I have recently conducted one. The results were fruitful and I now feel confident in approaching employers and companies because of Comm 299!
