Reading Reflection: Chapter 7

This chapter was significant to me because I am in the process of applying for jobs in the summer. Something I learned about building a resume was not to just use the same resume for every application but to cater it to the company you are applying for. One way to do so is to use the same wording in your resume that they use in their job post. I also learned that a more powerful resume lists quantified results statements of your accomplishments instead of just your job duties. This way your future employer (hopefully) can see what your job consisted of and how well you excelled at performing the labor. 

I enjoyed learning about the PAR stories because now I can be more effective in marketing myself in interviews. I especially liked the example of how to describe our weaknesses and turn them into strengths. This could also apply to dating.
