The greatest lesson I learned was from Jordan Huang. He taught me the fundamental skills of social networking. As the first year representative of CUS, he demonstrated the ability to connect and to communicate with others in faculty. He dynamic personality motivated me to challenge myself and to push myself to the next limit. As a result I followed his footsteps and used those skills in my COMM 299 interview. I believe the greatest experience I learned in COMM 299 is the ability to sell myself in an interview. COMM 299 is a course that is unique and only available in Sauder School of Business. This is what makes us unique. By taking this course, those in Sauder will be one step ahead of other students that are in other schools and faculty. Most employees do not look at marks, or school one graduated but they evaluate the performance of the interview. Surprisingly one can get a job from a 15 minute performance. I learned that writing resumes and doing interviews must be done with structures. From this course I learned about the CAR statement structure. Each sentence has a purpose, and by combining different pieces, one can form a powerful statement. This is similar to life. One must gather different pieces in their life and form something meaningful. Thus I believe learning the fundamental skills of writing a powerful resume and doing an interview is the greatest experience in COMM 299.  This allowed me to develop a well rounded personality and I learned the ability to sell myself.  This is what makes Sauder graduates different from other faculties and institutions. COMM 299 is a course that I will promote to everyone and motivate the future first years to work hard on. Finally I believe that is why I believe the resume and interview portion is the greatest experience I learned in COMM 299
