Since the first class back in September, I have learned many valuable lessons from this course. First and the most important is that I learned to be organized. From Comm 299 interview session, I prepared my first portfolio with resume, cover letter and reference letter in my life, and did question-answering practice at home. The whole preparation gave me a general idea how a formal interview should be treated and what things are there to look for in order to have a successful interview. I understood that fully prepared would help me to be confident in what I am saying in interview, showing full knowledge and proficiency. In addition, Comm299 taught me how to utilize resources in finding jobs online and getting connected. COOL website is a great place to look for internships, full and part-time jobs. Its extremely useful to have access to this website because we now have our own database which is beneficial for both employees and employers. On the other hand, comm299’s public speaking class helped me overcome my fear of speaking in front of people.  Speech topics had a wide range, from politics to toasting speech, which gave us lots of fun. Comm 299 is a great course because we learned necessary skills in becoming a successful and professional businessmen and women.
