Cnmt 410 Week 2 Individual Reflection

CNMT 410 was an interesting class to learn about the professional workplace. The discussions on time stealing interested me the most since I had no idea what some employers consider stealing time. Besides the discussions I learned a lot about producing quality work. Before this class my resume and cover letter would’ve been a joke. Most likely I would’ve taken a generic resume from Google. The resume wouldn’t have been very personal or showcase my experience. There would have been the exact same problem with the cover letter. I had no idea before this class that the cover letter was meant to be a personal letter from myself to the hiring manager. I always thought cover letters were more or less optional and just a generic short essay on who I was as a person. The quality of my work increased tenfold just from
I like to think that I met expectations for producing quality work. Now, professional expertise was different. Since I had interned several times in an actual corporation I had a general feel for professional expertise and didn’t learn much from the class on it. Thanks to real world experience I exceeded expectations for expertise. Time management was similar, we had plenty of time to accomplish the coursework and to make sure it was at least decent quality. I scored this somewhere in between the two others, I wasn’t just meeting expectations but I also wasn’t soaring above them either. This class was really informative for my internship that I’ll be going back to in a few weeks. First of all I actually have a resume that I can list my work experience on, second, I can write clearer and more professional emails or documentation. Hopefully by being more professional and displaying all the information I’ve learned from this class I can first get a raise since I’ve been interning for 3 years and it's more of a real job at this point. And second I can use this internship and information to spring myself to a well paying job that I truly enjoy after
