@Aldodelfino3 The idea of concluding your purpose and presenting yourself to your employer is crucial and can make your structure easier if you write with a rhetorical strategy and treat your employer as the audience you are trying to convince.
@SpencerRWS305 I agree. The use of templates doesn't create originality in your resume but using aspects of multiple resumes can help you create a whole new resume that is derived from others.
Focusing on writing my letter of interest for my future career helps me apply the idea of rhetoric studies to "market" myself to my employers. #RHUB305
My writing process for my professional development packet is going well. I have already created my resume and know how to write a letter of interest. I already found my future job and analyzing it helped support my decision. #RHUB305
@pnelopewilson I kind of thought that cover letters were either excessive or unnecessary, but when I wrote my first one, I began to understand what the recipient was looking for. The more serious applicants will use the cover letters to display their skills and write rhetorically to persuade.
@asoto4640 The importance of these documents is important when presenting yourself to an employer. Having outstanding documents that distinguish you from others sets the competitiveness of other applicants.
@Justin48096599 I agree. The rhetoric aspect is crucial in many things and seeing how it applies to our cover letter shows how significant this subject is in life.
The video Jeff Lu gave on cover letters is pretty helpful. His idea of a cover letter as "emotional" showed me that my cover letter will express how I feel about my desired position. His idea of relevance also helped me realize the significance it has for cover letters. #RHUB305
What I found from the sample engineer resume was similar to my current resume. Something that stood out was that the structure put work experience before education which is good if you are providing the most relevant skills to the job you desire. #RHUB305
@gsalcedo44 The idea of receiving mentorship from faculty is a crucial thing I also wish I had done throughout my early years of college. However, sometimes it's hard to get mentorship when you don't know what to ask or what you ask is vague. That makes it hard to connect with professors.
@Justin48096599 I also find the focus on career development important. As semesters go by, we have to start thinking about these things and focus on understanding what we want to do with what we are can do.
@Acarrtweets I agree. The idea of "Marketing Yourself" is important to do, especially when you start networking. When doing this we get connections with others that can tell companies what we are capable of.
The job I posted is under the company I want to work with. However, this company also offers an entry-level program for graduates where I can explore the many departments of engineering before deciding on my interested field.

I found Bissonnete's advice on using relevant information to present myself in a resume to be helpful in formatting my own. Agre gave good advice on how I can further improve recommendations with professors by relating ideas with questions going deeper into their field. #RHUB305
What I found helpful on how to implement my sources in my research paper was to write a paragraph on their perspective and connect on how it supports or opposes my claims. #RHUB305
@Isingh8356 My process seems to go smoothly as well. I feel that once you get your claims structured and review your sources to support your claims, it will be easier to complete the research paper.
@Antoni0_R I agree. Starting early also helped me get a structure for my research paper and now I just have to format them. The peer review worksheets helped me gain insight from other papers and what I needed for my own.
@qsomers0855 I've also found it difficult to focus on my main ideas because my sources introduce so many new perspectives. What I did to structure my paragraphs was to give the source its own paragraph and connect it to a sub claim.
The progress in my research paper is going well. I just need to finish my conclusion and rewrite my abstract. I found so many new things that I added to my paper when researching that it was hard to simplify my abstract. #RHUB305
@gjaime9775 This is a good image that is easy to understand and easy to help support your claims. It's also good to explain the positive views on each type of vehicle so the audience understands your claims.
