Reflection

I feel that with unemployment at an all time low that the information that we have gone over in the last few chapters is vital for anyone looking for a job these days. Look beyond regular searching tools such as monster.com and career builder.com. Everyone starts there when they are looking for a job. Get out and hit the pavement! Go to businesses you want to work in and talk with their HR reps, they may have a job that hasn't been mass advertised yet. I have never had to write a resume so the information on how to begin with a cover letter and what needs to be included has helped me learn where I need to begin. The 50 interview questions were eye opening to say the least I have had a few interviews and I always felt unprepared, but after going through these questions I feel more confident. With the help of the Internet people can do wider base searches for work and can email their resumes instead of mailing them. It has also opened up the ability for web interviews. I feel that with the things I have learned in this class that I am more prepared when it comes time for me to begin the process of job searching.
