What I’ve learned from com299

While there are the obvious things i’ve learned from 299 such as how to write a competitive resume and cover letter or interview correctly there are also other valuable things I have learned from 299 that are not as obvious. Just listening to Philip talk about “real life” business situations he experienced help me understand better what sorts of things i’ll be experiencing after my four years here or even earlier. I feel like i’ve been more infomed about what the business sector at UBC has to offer. I definetly just feel more enlightened and not so overwhelmed with everything here at UBC. I also believe that i’ve gained quality experience in interviews from the one-on-one oppertunity 299 gave me. I’ve also gained experience practicing things like my elevator pitch in my TA session. Which brings me to what I believe is the thing in comm299 that I have learned the most from and that is my TA’s real business experience stories. Not only have they made business a lot more realistic and tangible but just hearing about an actual students experiences in an intresting manor has influenced me in a very positive way. Overall I just feel more informed with the business sector and how to act and respond to it – what is expected of me in the next few years. I also am so grateful for the resources 299 has introduced me to.
