if nick miller has a million fans, i am one of them. If nick miller has five fans, i am one of them. If nick miller has only one fan, that is me. If nick miller has no fans, i am no longer on this earth. If the world is against nick miller, i am against the world.

@audreyranek9149 I too liked reading others resumes and comparing, it was nice to see where other people in similar stances in life were at

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@annn1995 I’ve been considering and this assignment and week has given me some more to think about

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@crivero7217 I found the research paper to be the biggest push as well!

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@VanLuu89457920 Really good point, you have to put in a lot of effort to get in the field that you want to.

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@audreyranek9149 Since that conversation I have practice that! I also got approached at my current job, I was offered a job because they liked my professionalism

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@SierraSimoneS That’s a good jumping off point, I’ve felt some struggle with this part.

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@foster050199 I agree with the self reflection. I feel like the assignments were made perfectly, specifically the letter assignment was at a perfect time for me to heal through things I couldn’t speak out loud on.

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@AlainaStimson @dandilionssss Employers probably won’t really look at your resume if they find your cover letter inefficient

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@kaylyn_yu That’s true I always thought cover letters were weird because yours strange to talk about yourself so much like that. I guess it helps since in your resume it’s more factual

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@kaylyn_yu That’s a good point I didn’t notice yet. It probably makes you sound like a do-er which is good in the eyes of an employer

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@foster050199 I think its important to write about yourself not only in the way of listing your accomplishments but also explaining your skills in a little blurb maybe

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@SierraSimoneS I never really thought about having a good hook, it seems like only something you need when writing a paper.

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@VerniceEdnilao I agree. I’m still weighing pros and cons but it was a informational to hear about. I’m not sure if I’m leaning more for or against grad school

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@audreyranek9149 It is important to tailor your resume for each job your applying for. It’s good to have a good rough draft that you can base your resume off of but I think you should always tweak it for the specific job

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@foster050199 So true! He is addressing the mistrust instead of brushing the issues under the rug and not admitting to the faults, I think it makes the reader want to keep reading.

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@crivero7217 I felt very similarly, I may have had moments where I felt like him in my own life growing up with immigrant parents. I think a lot of ignorance is related to the danger of a single story, so this concept is reaching to address so many informative topics.

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@JacquelinRWS305 I think it’s difficult to disconnect from standards of writing that are restricting and learn knew techniques sometimes, but he’s right there are so many ways to approach writing

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@ColeR_26 Very true! And even though this talk was over 10 years ago, that example is still applicable to today

[Sam @SamiraEshraghi]

@ColeR_26 This is so true, we as students aren't taught in our early years to question or wonder about the info we're being taught but instead to just regurgitate it back to the people who tell us they're fact.
