@manwall610 Hi Emmanuel, I agree that a cover letter doesn't guarantee the job but it solidifies your resume and hook your employer in. It makes it easier for the hiring managers to distinguish you since you left a good impression.

@LeinbergerDavid Hi David, the layout of a resume is a vital factor in the way hiring managers make their decisions. Perceptions and first impression matter because it takes less than a min to skim through a resume and make a decision.

I was one of the people who underestimated the importance of cover letter when looking for a job. After I started job hunting the in the corporate world, I realized how valuable and advantageous it is to include a cover letters when pursing a career. #RHUB305

I watched Jeff Lu video on how to write an amazing cover letter. Although the majority of the tips he provided seemed like a common knowledge on the surface level but in reality everything he mentioned has a deeper meaning and could be used as a hack to standout. #RHUB305

The Sample Resume (Technical Writer) is more familiar because it has a simple design, structed well, and has the basic standard formatting unlike resume sample #3 that has colors and the design is different which is more suitable for art and design majors. #RHUB305

@LeinbergerDavid Hi David, I couldn't agree more with choosing an occupation that you love or passionate about. Money comes with the territory but to enjoy what you do makes dealing with the hardships that comes with the job easier and tolerable.

My major is Business - Finance to be more specific. My dream job is to be a financial analyst. It won't be easy but I believe it is possible. Networking is a valuable skill to obtain when it comes to finding a job in the corporate world #RHUB305

Writing cover letters was one of my weakness. Reading Barbara Bissonnete's "Marking Yourself to Employers" was very informative and helpful to develop all tools needed to secure a job upon graduations. #RHUB305

@tbufano6232 Indeed, it is stricter. I noticed that the majority of students in this course prefer MLA over APA. Personally, I'm prefer APA because I'm so used to it.

[Ahmed Yassin @AhmedYassin96]

I will be using APA format for my research paper. I wish there was definite reason why I prefer that. It is a matter of using it so often in my previous papers. #RHUB305

For my visual rhetoric I am using this graph that illustrate the unfortunate increase in school shootings in the recent years as well as the break down for active and not active shooters. #RHUB305

@Asma25650645 Hi Asma, I second that. Providing different opinions gives the paper more credibility as well as a fair chance for the opposing side.

(3/3) On the other hand, if it didn't get abolished. Innocents will lose their lives with no repercussions to whoever approved the death sentence. It's truly a paradox. #RHUB305

[Ahmed Yassin @AhmedYassin96]

(1/3) I feel perplexed after reading "Paradox of Innocence" by Garret Merriam. I understand that eliminating the death penalty will save innocents from death and by doing so it wouldn't save them from life in person for a wrongful convection. #RHUB305

[Ahmed Yassin @AhmedYassin96]

(2/3) Also, criminals who truly deserve it will be saved from a rightful punishment. That's equivalent to taking a step forward and three steps backwards. #RHUB305

(2/2) There might be some truth to how every side has the right to feel or be the good guy. The key to persuade someone on policy is to connect it with their underlying moral values. #RHUB305

[Ahmed Yassin @AhmedYassin96]

(1/2) It was very intriguing to watch Robb Willer " How to have better political conversations" Ted Talk. I liked the Zombie analogy and how every group see themselves as the Brad Pitt (the good guy) and the opposing side as the zombies with contagious disease. #RHUB305

@Sophiasosat Hi Sophia, that is such an interesting topic. Due to the high rearrest rates, I'm convinced that you will find various resources about recidivism in the SDSU database. Good luck on your paper!

[Ahmed Yassin @AhmedYassin96]

It's my first time using San Diego State University database. I am not familiar with it but the tutorial videos will ease the process of find the needed recourses to help with the research. #RHUB305
