 In these three websites it gives u advise on how to write a resume and if you don't have experience there are tips on how to write resume. i like that there's websites that can help you with resume writing because a resume in my opinion reflects who an individual is professionally. that's why a resume always has to be revised more that once to make sure there aren't any grammar problems, the vocabulary is well pronounced, and the format. i was told that using resume paper gives a better look to a resume when it comes to finding a job. hopefully these sites help you have a professional and strong resume

      when it comes to preparing for an interview is very intimidating because your not meeting with someone to talk about how wonderful they think you are, but to see your skills and qualifications for the job the individual is applying for. when it comes to an interview no matter if you don't like the interviewer you have to maintain that first impression.  i remember applying for Aeropostale. i kept thinking it was going to be a one on one interview but when i got to the site it was actually a group interview. i didn't get the job because i didn't have that confidence i would probably have in private. so in the three websites i posted on my blog it gives you tips in how to prepare for  any kind of interviews. its very beneficial because for someone like me who don't know how to nail an interview can get ways on how to be better at handling an interview.

chapter 3 & 4 response.

        chapter three elaborates allot on mental  wandering. like the ten mindsets. it can be very helpful when your in a workforce or school because it helps you think out the box. it also helps you understand an issue or a task much better. i am a liberal arts major. i chose this major because i honestly don't know what i want to do yet. the best mindset i use towards my major is collaborative mindset number 7. i say this because getting along with individuals around you make things  easier. like a group presentation. working together results in a positive outcome rather than being negative.

          I am fascinated by chapter four because it game me a boost of confidence on how to approach a difficult course, or how to get to know my professor a little more. so far i am great in three out of four of my classes. sociology can be very easy and outgoing for some people, but for me i don't understand it much, nor do i communicate with anyone. i sit in front of the class room to hear the professor better but i seem to be lost. sometimes i even day dream. now that i have read chapter 4, it showed me how to approach my sociology class. i no longer feel alone.

self assessment response

      I haven't had many jobs to say that i have a good handful of experiences, but from what I've learned about my self from the few jobs i was exposed to is that i am very determined to do the job. i don't know if its because i am a student( since i am use to getting a grade for every work i do) every time i was assign to do a task i approached it as if i was winning a golden star.
     
     Another skill i have observed that i do is being very well organized. being put together in my opinion gives off a better vibe than being messy. i enjoy helping individuals. i am aware and understand what they need or want i would enjoy helping them out. i am outspoken. i don't hold opinions back nor am i timid to question a situation in a work force. i am not afraid to do a difficult task. it gives me the feeling as if i am being tested.

      i am very punctual. i like to be on time and do things on time. i like to finish tasks on time. it shows that i pay attention and a good listener.

cover letter website comments

I like the way these websites break down step by step on how to write a well organized cover letter. In the first website it shows the steps on how the cover letter should be written. Sometimes individuals such as me don't really have an idea on how to prepare a cover letter and it can be very helpful. The second websites explains more in depth on how a cover letter should look like. From font size to how to position your paragraphs to how many sentences each paragraph should have. The third website shows you an example of a cover letter for an accounting job. In case you don't have an idea on what to write about the third website helps you think on what direction you should take. The three websites are very beneficial because not only do they guide you through a cover letter but helps you to understand it. Jobs these days are very picky when it comes to resumes and cover letters.
