The writing process has me feeling hopeful for the future and excited to gain more experience. I think I have learned a lot and I’m looking forward to doing more to better myself and build my resume. #RHUB305
@HibaGeorges A cover letter definitely adds a lot. He also explained how advantages a cover letter can be, specifically because you are able to convey your motivation, energy, and willingness to learn all through a cover letter, which you can’t get through a resume #RHUB305
After watching the video about creating a cover letter, I think that one big point was how cover letters are used to elevate your resume, and to elaborate on why you want to work for the company. Rhetorical strategies can be used to effectively persuade a hiring manager #RHUB305
A curriculum Vitae is something I had never heard of before. Now, I know what it includes, that I should put more relevant information at the top of the page, use keywords or similar words from the job description in the resume, and list in chronological order. #RHUB305
@fernsdsu I totally agree, after reading more in depth about grad school, I’m confident that I want to go eventually. However, it can be difficult to know the specifics of what I want to study having no prior experience. I’m sure many students have the same feelings. #RHUB305
The position I’m looking at is an environmental education specialist. I think I would enjoy this job and it’s something I’m passionate about, I’m excited to look at more jobs and create a resume.

“Marketing Yourself to Employees” was interesting for me to read about the weakness question during an interview. I’ll be getting an internship soon, and this question has always tripped me up. It’s important to use an answer that showcases how you overcame the issue #RHUB305
@achan1907 This image is super helpful to understanding, from what I can tell. All of the words are clear and easy to understand, and the arrows help add to the comprehension. Great image
An interesting part of the APA example paper was the headings for different sections which I thought was a nice way to break up the paper to make more sense. I am considering this for my paper as well #RHUB305
@raquellongg Personally, this argument made me rethink my views on the death penalty. It was a very compelling point to bring up and adds to the “paradox of innocence” he writes about #RHUB305
Something in the article I noticed was that Garret Mirriam uses mostly facts and statistics, as well as logic to promote his argument, rather than opinions and such. He strategically builds the structure around the information #RHUB305
The danger of a single story related to Robb willer’s findings on political conversations because both have to do with understanding differing perspectives, and specifically using these different frames to improve our knowledge and our writing/ build our argument #RHUB305
@ay706only2 My plan is that after I have done a little bit of research, I’m going to outline the problem, the question, the new development, and then go from there.
When researching through the library database, I usually think of some broad words and, then try to get better search results for specific things. Making a list of those words can also be helpful #RHUB305
Currently, I’m thinking about researching the environmental justice issues of the Salton Sea. This interests me as it is pretty close in proximity to San Diego #RHUB305
Overall, I did not realize how often I use rhetoric to discern things in my everyday life. I use rhetoric on the daily, especially reading things online. As constant information intakers, these skills are necessary #RHUB305
Ya-Nehisi Coates’ letter to his son is full of appeals to emotion, as he shares his feelings on the dangerous experience of living in America as a black person. Writing through the perspective of a father speaking to his son is just one example of how he uses pathos #RHUB305
@Isingh8356 Great point. Elon’s use of rhetoric to get his point across not only to Twitter users, but also to Twitter itself. It was very effective at the end of the day, I would say it changed my perspective on the situation after reading his letter.
