Busy Times

Well its that time of the year for me when things start to pick up and times can get very stressful. Seems like I have an exam everyday, football season is in full effect, and my rest/sleep schedule is at a minimum. My biggest goal at this point is just trying to manage my time correctly while also performing to the best of my ability in school work. It is not an easy task but I will try to manage it the best I can and hopefully I will make it through alright.

Response to Advice for Cover Letters

I believe that all of the information on how to create an effective cover letter was useful and helpful. One of the most important issue that was bought up, was the purpose of writing a cover letter. Many people really do get confuse and lose focus on the purpose of writing cover letters. Cover letters are intended to provide the employer with information regarding to what the applicant can bring to the job and not a lot of personal information about the applicant.
Moreover, another thing that I found that was interesting was that employers really do not look at cover letters unless the applicant is really being considered. I thought that cover letters was one of the most important parts of selecting applicants, but I guess not. Matter of fact, the cover letter has the least importance.
The most useful part of the tutorial that I found helpful was the cover letter check list. It is most useful because it list all the necessary parts of a cover letter while also given the criteria of an effective cover letter.

Response to Job Interview Article

The article was very good and useful. It stresses the importance of being prepare for a job interview while also reinforcing some valuable issues. For example, one issue that was bought up that I really did not consider, was taking an umbrella in case it rains. I believe that it is vital to take an umbrella because employers looked very closely at appearance and a person that is seeking a job should not want to be wet while interviewing because of the problems that being wet can cause.
Moreover, preparation in advance is the single most vital factor that can determine how an interview goes. The more prepare a person is results in the better performance he/she will give. Going to a job interview can be one of the most stressful situations to a person but preparation in advance will relieve some of the stress.
