Comm 299(Career Fundamentals) is a great course I have taken at Sauder. It teaches me new skills, like how to write a competitive and professionally formatted, error-free cover letter and resume as well as how to behave in a persuasive interview. With all the skills I learnt in 299, I think that I will be a competitive candidate in job applications, for example, summer internships, part-time employment, volunteer opportunities and work after graduation.

One thing I have learned about myself in 299 is my personal strengths. After completing the Strength Quest, I understood myself better. My top 5 strengths are achiever, competition, restorative, arranger and consistency. So it made me realize that I am a person who has a great deal of stamina and work hard, is good at figuring out what is wrong and resolving it, is good at organizing, and is keenly aware of the need to treat people the same. With a good understanding of my strengths and weaknesses, I am able to further progress through working on my strengths and overcoming my weaknesses, so that I can be an outstanding candidate in most job selection processes.
