@asoto4640 I completely agree and got a different perspective thanks to the video. At first I thought that it was all about the resume, but the cover letter is also a game changer when it comes to hiring.

After yesterday's lecture, I now know why you should have the work experience on top and not your education. I didn't know this, so I had to double check my resume and see how I had it. Also learned that the template from word sucks, so won't be using that.

After watching Jeff's cover letter video, I realized how important a cover letter really is. I hadn't put much thought to a cover letter since I believed that resumes were much more important but the cover letter he showed, made me realize that I should focus more on it.

I was always told to have a short, get to the point resume because employers only skim the important stuff. After reading "Marketing Yourself to Employers" I can see why I was given thia advice but having good networking with others seems to be just as important!

@Bfernandosdsu Yeah, I learned that too. Usually for my papers I don't use images but thanks to class I now know how to properly implement them and how thay can be useful to show information.

Thanks to this week's class, I have a better understanding of how to support my ideas for my topic and how to cite them appropriately. I also now know how to format it and avoid making mistakes such as putting an unnecessary image that doesn't truly help my argument.

I was looking at the sample essay for the MLA format and found it interesting how there was an image of comments since I don't think that is a reliable source of information since you can pick and choose what comments to show and some comments can also be edited after.

@Davidbell__ I also agree in the sense that it made rethink my viewpoints in the death penalty. I didn't really had a strong opinion on it and the way this article was structured helped me get better informed. I got some notes for structuring my ideas too.

After reading "Paradox of Innocence", I found it very interesting how the majority of death row inmates wanted to keep the death penalty. And I also found it interesting how people seem to care more about the people in death row, as to people with life sentences.

Regarding the library visit, I learned how to find good sources for my research paper and how to properly filter key words to narrow or expand my search results. It will help me find articles and information of my topic and find good examples to use as evidence.

Using the library resources, I viewed how to avoid plagiarism since that is always mentioned in every class and it's always in my head when I do a research paper. I know what it is but I always have trouble with citing papers. The library website has eased my headaches!

I also felt emotional reading Coates' "Letter to My Son". I had the same emotional response as you. Really shows that not everything is under your control and that the world can be a cruel place and people can relate to what he wrote.

Referring to this weeks lecture, we saw different types of letters and rhetorical strategies to make them. Knowing and understanding how to implement these two correctly is important because it will help us communicate better to our target audience.

@oscarrcanaless I can see what you mean and I agree. It's good for the community to give feedback, listen to the feedback and then take action.

After reading Elon Musk's letter, I found it professional, and managed to address important information regarding why he backed out of the deal.

The letter I read was about a person who was in college at the time president Obama was elected, and that he didn't believe in him at first. I found his letter very formal and honest as he later mentioned how happy he became with his term.

@kaleen_orlowski Yeah I agree. At first I didn't think much about the origami figures other than them being toys that he grew too old for, just like any normal kid. The origami figures representing his culture and heritage flew under the radar for me.

I like reading Stephen King's books but never considered to see how he writes them. Having two versions of a story is a huge tip for me because I always rewrite and edit one version of a story. Sometimes I end up missing some details that my first version did had.

I feel that "The Paper Menagerie" relates with the phase where a kid wants to grow up and doesn't value what they have. It saddened me when he locked the paper animals away and then proceeded to neglect his mother. You should always appreciate what you have.
