REFLECTION PAPER
Together with the cover letter is the resume. The speaker let us know that
resumes are used to make a favourable impression on a prospective employer. It is
often the first impression a potential employer has of us. For this reason, it is
considered as one of the most crucial part of finding a job. A resume is a brief written
summary of a job applicant’s past employment history, education, and other pertinent
information. For a fresh graduate looking for a job, it has been indicated that we put
some achievements in school that can be related to the job we are applying for. In the
seminar, I have also learned that resumes follows a business format. However, it is
different in the case of applying in an architectural firm. We, architecture students or
graduates, can be as creative as we can in making our resumes, as it can also be an
indication of how skilful we are in terms of designing layouts. It can also be one of the
factors that makes the best impression of the potential employer of us.
Lastly, the speaker added some tips for us to know about best impressions in
finding a job. One of which is for the making of cover letter. We should be investigative
in terms of to whom should we address the letter, hence, we should ask the company
we are applying for. The other is we should be resourceful. We should put an effort in
knowing the company we are applying for to let them know that we are sincere in
applying and eager to know more about them.
