So far the writing process for the development packet has been going very good. I'm enjoying it a lot as I know this packet will be very beneficial for my future, and it is good to see what companies are looking for in future candidates #RHUB305

@Acarrtweets I agree Andres, the cover letter has great significance in getting a job. It shows the company you care about them, are motivated to be apart of their company, and that has taken time to understand why one fits within the company. #RHUB305

A thing that stood out to me was connections. Even people who may be "Random" or "Unlikely," can be very beneficial for my future. One of the biggest reasons why I wanted to attend a large university is to start making my connections now and maintaining them throughout. #RHUB305

#RHUB305 In the "Marketing yourself to employers," the "Too much information." I learned to keep my information about my experiences and myself concise. I find myself summarizing a lot and avoiding that is essential, especially in important documents like my resume.

[Benjamin Fernando @Bfernandosdsu]

@ysalah4388 I learned that as well Yasmin. Realizing how little time recruiters take to look at resumes definitely inspired me to stray away from using basic resume templates and find ways throughout my professional documents to stand out. #RHUB305

Last class was fantastic in terms of how to develop my work professionally. I looked at my resume and realized I can shorten and clean up my writing a lot. Also seeing HR review resumes in just a few seconds spoke to me, wanting to find ways to make my resume stand out. #RHUB305

something that has a great hook early and stands out is important. Simplicity also kills, having a confusing cover letter with poor spacing can negatively impact my chances of getting hired. #RHUB305

After watching Jeff Su's video on video of golden rules, I had a few huge takeaways. Research and being proactive speaks largely. A minimum of speaking with three professionals is essential. Also quality over quantity, recruiters get thousands of applications and #RHUB305

@NoahKuhn16 Totally agree Noah! The importance of correctly using visual grammar to help support and allow for effective visual arguments is essential #RHUB305

[Benjamin Fernando @Bfernandosdsu]

In this week's class, I learned the importance of correctly using an image in writing. Not having the image in the words or within a paragraph makes it difficult for the reader to follow and looks unorganized. #RHUB305

[Benjamin Fernando @Bfernandosdsu]

Previously, I have never used photos in a writing, and it was good to obtain the knowledge of how to cite a photo in MLA format. Also since this paper will include information that is not mine, knowing how to not plagiarism was very helpful and will benefit my writing. #RHUB305

This article provides an opposing view to exercising supporting mental health as it shows people have the initiative to workout and better themselves, but rather get stuck in self-perception phases, as they compare themselves to others. #RHUB305

For my research project, I'm writing about how exercising improves mental health in multiple departments from depression, social anxiety, trauma, etc. The photo I'm thinking of using is a brain lifting weights to show the correlation between working out and mental health #RHUB305

@BrentB_sdsu Hey Brent, I had a similar experience and noticed the value and importance logic and data can have in a piece of writing. It made me think how many times have my opinions switched or been altered due to stats and logic in other scenarios. #RHUB305

[Benjamin Fernando @Bfernandosdsu]

#RHUB305 this week I have learned what writing tools it takes to make a cohesive and functional piece of writing that can be appealing to all opinions. Doing this allows the reader to not get upset, but rather use the information to develop a new opinion.

After reading the "Paradox of Innocence" one of the main things that stood out to me, and found interesting was the Ethos he provided by saying the California death row inmates did not want to abolish the death penalty, which was shocking despite they are on death row. #RHUB305

[Benjamin Fernando @Bfernandosdsu]

After the visit to the library, I developed a great knowledge of how to utilize the SDSU Library website to fully enhance my searches for the research project. Using the And/Or feature in my research paper about the benefits of exercise will help my writing. #RHUB305

[Benjamin Fernando @Bfernandosdsu]

Since being a student at SDSU I've used the sdsu library website just a handful amount of times. My experience has been pretty blissful as I've always been able to find the material I am looking for. I will say, however, finding peer-reviewed articles was a tad difficult #RHUB305

[Benjamin Fernando @Bfernandosdsu]

So far the writing process is going a lot better than the previous writing assignments. I think this is due to this is something I am passionate about (NFL player's health) and makes me intrigued to write this letter. #RHUB305

[Benjamin Fernando @Bfernandosdsu]

This week I realized and understood the difference and importance of different types of letters. The way a letter can be organized, portrayed, and formatted can lead to different messages the writer is attempting to obtain. #RHUB305
