I had a long history of writing a resume and cover letter. I wasn’t expecting much new stuff from this project. But I discover that this was the first time for me to write it academically. I found many new things in the resume that we must include and what is the right way to put the resume in order. We also learned about the three different types of resumes.
At first, it was tough to find a job on the internet that match my qualifications and skills due to that I am not a graduate student. But then one of my friends told me about the SDSU career website. Where we could find jobs for SDSU students on campus and off-campus that match the skills and qualifications of a student not yet graduated. And I found many helpful jobs on the website, but I chose one that matches my major. It also may help me in my future career in business not only, but also the job was exciting.
In most of the job ads that I saw on the SDSU career website, they value the student that has a passion that wants to get experience in working and want to save money for the future. Most of the ads that I saw do not ask for any skills or qualifications; in fact, the jobs were open to all majors and also for all students.
The resume and the cover letter have distinct genres because the resume comes in a straightforward, direct bulleted point. It was very easy to figure out the different genres in the text. In the cover letter, it is a little different from the resume, because it has paragraphs and they all take about one particular thing in the job.

The resume and the cover letter are an easy topic to write. Also, it was enjoyable to write it because it lists all the advantages of the person and it gives a clear message about the person. But I find it challenging to list skills and qualifications in my case. I am applying for a job that required no skills and qualifications, and only one person will be accepted from all how applied. So, it was too challenging to write a resume with no skills is needed.
Writing a resume and a cover letter was one of the best assignments that I wrote. The academic way to write a resume and a cover letter was a bit challenging, but I hope that I get the job.
