Recommended: Impacts of education in life

Over the course of this semester I have learned a lot about myself, such as what I am good at, what I am bad at, what I can improve on, and what needs no attention at all. I have learned how to write a cover letter, and resume, which is essential to finding a job anywhere. Thanks to this call I understand how much time and effort has to be put into finding a career, and not just a job. If I want to go nowhere in life I should throw a resume together with no important information, and treat it like fishing bait, I may catch something big, or get nothing at all. However, if I want a career I will need to research the company, connect with the correct internal people and get my resume in the right hands.
In order to advance my career, I will

    In unit seven we learned a lot about the job process. I actually learned a lot of things that I didn’t know before. For instance, I learned that companies offering jobs don’t necessarily have to take any applicants, and that they actually go through contacts to find a suitable person not as much as resumes. This really surprised me, whenever I think of the job market I think of applying for a job, handing out a resume, and interviewing. I never once thought that the companies and businesses offering jobs may look to social media and contacts instead. It truly changed my idea about what I would do to find a job after college. I would of course still apply and polish up my resume, but I would also turn to social media a lot more. It also made me think a bit more about how I present myself on social media, since many companies and businesses are turning to social media this means that I would have to make sure that all my social media posts are posted with a great deal of care, and kindness.

  • Composition 1 Reflection Paper

    798 Words  | 2 Pages

    Composition 1 taught me crucial writing skills and helped me grow as a writer. At the beginning of the semester, my papers utilized a considerable amount of passive voice, lacked transitional phrases, and the context was not always fully developed. But throughout the class, my writing became more clear, organized, and comprehensive. Passive voice allows the object of an action to be the subject of a sentence. In my first paper, the formal summary essay, I wrote, “The term describes situations, dating back to the 1980s, when excessive numbers of blacks were found to have been exposed to highly polluted areas.” The use of “were found” and “been exposed” distort the meaning of the sentence. Passive voice confuses the reader and makes comprehension

  • Final Reflection Paper

    Time sure does fly; in the blink of an eye, yet another 7.5-week class has come and gone. Just like life, it is scary to think that in just a few short years I will be graduating college and be in search of a future career. The magnitudes of readings, assignments, PowerPoint lectures, and videos have all contributed to the valuable knowledge I have gained since taking this course. Nothing that was presented or required was seen as invaluable towards my progression of career development. This career development course has allowed me to do some self-exploration, career research, and help me understand what influencing factors were related to the job market. Ultimately, this class helped me gauge and find a suitable career path, which will forever shape my future.

    In conclusion, I realized that my future depended on what I was willing and able, to make of it. I had to make the decision to put my fears behind me and move forward with the opportunities that would be available to me after I earned a college degree. I want to work in a career field that I went to school for and earned a degree for, not to just work at an everyday job, being overworked, under paid and unappreciated. I look forward to the day of graduation when I can be an encouragement to others experiencing these same issues and an inspiration to my children.

  • My Cumulative Reflection Letter

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    Over the course of the semester, I have learned a lot regarding the process of writing. When comparing my open letter to my DSP, it is very clear how much this process has progressed for me. When writing my DSP, I wrote the initial draft and then edited for grammar, but not really content. When writing my open letter I made quite a few changes to content and had more rounds of revision. My process was as follows: I wrote a brief outline, then I wrote the first draft, then considering the comments that I usually make on my peers’ essays I made structural and content changes, then I sent my essay to my peers for feedback, then I made even more content changes, then I received instructor feedback, then I made even more content changes, and finally I made the final grammatical changes. Clearly, the process for the open letter was significantly longer than the

We would often move from relatives ' houses since my parents couldn’t afford renting an apartment themselves. We were fortunate enough to have caring relatives who didn 't mind us living with them since they knew the hardships we were going through. I grew up in a household where only Spanish was spoken given that both my parents didn’t speak any English at all.

I was fortunate to receive free tutoring from my kindergarten teacher. We would often read books together until
