reflection: resume and cover letter

While writing my resume and cover letter I was able to learn a lot of helpful techniques that will help me in the future as I pursue my career. Writing a resume and cover letter are very important in persuading a client to consider your resume. I had to do a lot of revisions when it came to preparing my final copy. For instance, I needed to change my fonts several times and highlight different words to better attract an employer. I decided to bold my name and use a slightly larger font in order to make sure that the employer knew my name. I also used bullets when I was listing out my skills so the employer would be able to understand and read much more easily. I listed three references each in the media field. I felt it was necessary to list the references in the media field because I am applying for a job that produces mass media. Out side of the resume is the cover letter. Before this project, I never gave any thought to a cover letter. In fact, I have applied for several jobs and I have never submitted a cover letter, however, I do see a need for one and will be submitting personalized cover letters with ever job that I apply for in the future. As I said earlier, applying for jobs is not an easy task. A lot of hard work and thought must go into preparing resumes and cover letters in order to even be considered for a job.
