Career Exploration

I learned about the two types of resumes: the chronological one and the functional one. Previously, I did not really know about the functional one. I have always written my resumes using the chronological format. Also, I learned what to wear so that someone applying for a job does not overdue it by wearing too much jewelry or perfume but also looked prepared with their business attire. They had good interview tips as well. I learned to send a thank-you letter twenty four hours after the interview or mail the letter if I need more time. They told us we have to “sell ourselves” to the company and tell them why we would add to their company. I think the “Personal Pitch” is a great way of practicing this. You should take 30 seconds to 2 minutes to speak about yourself and your talents. I thought this exercise would be useful to do before interviews.
