...own skills and qualities as they pertain to the occupation I am pursuing, I will be better able to market those to prospective employers. By examining my weaknesses in skills and qualities I create an opportunity to improve myself and my self value. I have also learned the importance of, not just setting career-related goals – but writing them down, as well. My next step after graduation will be to closely examine my options as far as continuing in running my own local business or to pursue employment with a larger corporation that might perhaps offer an increased income as well as medical benefits. I understand now that research is an important part of the Career Development Process and that it is necessary to reach any goals that I set for myself. Researching these companies in my chosen career field will allow me to choose the best option for employment with fewer “surprises” after I commit to take a position. Knowing the kinds of company-related information I will need to research will enable me to make good job search and career choices. I also learned many things pertaining to my resume and the importance of a quality cover letter. I understand what elements an effective cover letter should contain in order to effectively market myself to prospective employers, highlighting the skills I excel at to better represent who I am and exactly what my abilities and education qualify me to do.

...this semester I found myself in a skeptical mindset, as I had already taken a class at Hawkeye Community College that sounded quite similar to this one, namely introduction to professional writing in the workplace. To me, it seemed like I would just be paying a lot more to take a class that I had basically already taken. I found myself wondering if I would get anything more out of this class, if I would have any interest in it, and if the information would pertain at all to my hopes for the future. The first project that we worked with was resumes and cover letters which coincidently, we had already done in the class that I listed above. Fortunately, my idea of this class being just a rerun of what I had already taken was quickly thrown out of the window. I realized quite early that I would be able to create a much better piece of work and representation of myself in the...

...Report and Business Report A report is an impersonal presentation of facts. The main purpose of writing a report is to present some important information impersonally.

...be a little exaggerated, but it is how media and television draw it. But today, engineers need communication and writing skills even more than actual engineering. Any engineering career starts from the resume writing. Usually a resume consists of two parts: the list of things that you have done well in your life and the cover letter. Dr. Craig Gunn, a professor of mechanical engineering, clearly explains, “Many big companies do not require the cover letter, but it will be much better for you to write one, because if a manager will read it for some reason, your chances to get a job will be a lot higher.” A person that is going to give you a job will not see you directly, so you have to convince him or her not to throw your resume in the basket by presenting all of your best qualities in the resume. To write a good convincing resume is a very difficult thing to accomplish without some preparations. A good thing will be to go to a library and read a special book about resume writing. Also, the Internet is full of websites like http://www.7step-resumesampler.com/ that have a lot of important information about this subject. A cover letter plays an important role in getting a job...

Letter J Open domestic letter of credit * A written commitment to pay, by a buyer's or importer's bank (called the issuing bank) to the seller's or exporter's bank (called the accepting bank, negotiating bank, or paying bank). A letter of credit guarantees payment of a specified sum in a specified currency, provided the seller meets precisely-defined conditions and submits the prescribed documents within a fixed timeframe. These documents almost always include a clean bill of lading or air waybill, commercial invoice, and certificate of origin.
