Blog #3 (Appendix and Chapter 7)


I have always found it difficult to write a proper cover letter and resume. I’ve heard so many conflicting theories on suitable methods of creation that it has just seemed to overwhelm me. I really enjoyed reading chapter seven out of the book because it gave me a structure that I can go by.  The area of most usefulness was the section on “functional resume guidelines.” It applied most currently to my needs as I am seeking to apply for various internships this summer.  Aside from the section that involved creating a strong resume, I found the information of the section to be very interesting and effective. I never thought of the importance of learning to interview others properly since it was something that was neither here nor in the relative future. I found it useful however for my own personal search to find what I should expect from interviews and interviewees. Overall this was an extremely useful chapter that applies directly to my professional needs.
