@jd_obedicen I’ve been taught that the resume was the only document needed when applying for a job. I hadn’t even heard of the term “cover letter” until it was mentioned in class. After learning what it is, I’m surprised I hadn’t known about this sooner as it’s pretty important! #RHUB305
Jeff’s video highlighted the importance of a cover letter and how you can use it to your advantage especially if you lack experience. The cover letter is used to display how interesting and helpful you can be as an employee and every sentence should be well thought out. #RHUB305
The most important aspect I observed from the reading is that it’s important to keep your resumes clear, concise, and to the point. Employers are not interested in reading and analyzing a congested resume. #RHUB305
@zhanchenghu This seems to be a very skill-specific field and I hope you succeed in your eventual search since you seem very well equipped for it! This tweet assignment has made me feel both excited for the future but also nervous about joining the professional world. #RHUB305
I plan to eventually apply to become an architectural or interior designer. This plays directly into the major I am studying and appeals to my skills and interests. #RHUB305
Both writings discuss how developing research skills not only improves your credibility but also your self-confidence. This relates to what we have been doing because I have noticed that I developed better knowledge on how to execute proper research. #RHUB305
@tbufano6232 I think this is a great start to show the relationship between sleep and mental health. I would also suggest that you include an image containing analysis and is backed by some sort of study, like a graph. This would help improve your credibility. #RHUB305
I’m going to use this article: https://t.co/Goh0xEx51v. This writing discusses why sustainable architecture hasn’t been widely implemented yet. I found that there wasn’t much being said against green building itself, but there is an acknowledgment of obstacles. #RHUB305
I believe I can use a chart such as this one to portray the benefits of sustainable architecture as well as display an aspect of logos. It will also help me build an argument against regular building/architecture as there is a growing demand for various reasons. #RHUB305
@kassar_ziyad I also feel really conflicted on this topic. It’s hard to pick a side when the issue itself is so complex and possible solutions could lead to new problems. It also touches on moral values and deciding the lesser of two evils, which is really difficult to decide. #RHUB305
Merriam’s case against banning the death penalty has its faults. I found myself questioning his writing despite not having a strong stance. The idea that it’s worse to wrongfully sentence more innocents to life than to send a few to death is objective and can be argued. #RHUB305
The TED talk opened my eyes to a new perspective. He’s right that our country is in a state of political turmoil, and that empathy is the best solution to this. Reevaluating our arguments to appeal to the moral values of the other party is crucial in creating change. #RHUB305
@EGovenar This is a really interesting topic that I feel is especially relevant today! With the new forms of social media, which makes quick exchanges so accessible, we tend to take information at face value without fact-checking what is being thrown at us. #RHUB305
The way the sdsu database is structured makes it easy to find research based on specific topics. The search bar is a great tool to find exactly what I need. There are different sources that show up such as articles, videos, and books. #RHUB305
Something that is highly considered within my field of study is the issue of sustainability and affordability. In today’s society especially, designers/architects have to take into account the high cost of living as well as environmental challenges. #RHUB305
The writing process for this letter assignment has been surprisingly enjoyable for me. I expected this process to feel dull since it wasn’t a creative writing assignment, but I chose a topic I’m passionate about which has made it a lot easier. #RHUB305
@Seenbeans I agree that his main audience is his son, as stated in the title. I think that Ta-Nehisi was also speaking to American society as a whole. By publishing this letter, he allows non-black Americans to understand his struggles/frustrations regarding his race & raising a black child
Ta-Nehisi’s letter is a heartbreaking snap to the reality Black Americans live in. He speaks of the structural violence they face. He goes on to list recent victims, in hopes to protect his son from the same fate. He’s effective in conveying his hopelessness & fear. #RHUB305
I enjoyed reading Ruben Mendoza’s letter to the editor as it brought up many great points. They used examples from personal experience and brought up specific quotes that the editor used to argue against the editor’s claim that toxic masculinity doesn’t exist. #RHUB305
@manwall610 I like the comparison you made of the current Twitter platform and an echo chamber. This is great imagery to visualize what Musk believes is wrong with Twitter. Ironically, removing censorship only welcomes a new type of community and “echo chamber” to the mix. #RHUB305
