Dear Professor Reed,

Going into this particular project I was very uneasy because sadly I have never made
a resume before. While I felt unsure I also felt relief. Relief because I would finally be learning how
to make a great resume putting thought into every part, even the color scheme.
To begin this whole process I had to decide which part of my major I actually wanted a job
in. To be a teacher, or to be some type of technical writer? Being a teacher won. I had to search
through job ads for elementary or preschool teachers. To my surprise many showed up but one
caught my eye so I went with that because it involves working at a daycare academy (meaning I
would be teaching classes) with the youngest children possible, which has always been my goal.
Once I found my job ad I began thinking of what qualities and skills I have that would be beneficial
towards this job. I have never worked for a company like this before but I have spent many years
babysitting and volunteering my time with children so I decided to add that.
Along with adding information about my interaction with children I added aspects of my
part time job that will benefit this job and their company personally. Spending as much time as I
have with the public has mentally prepared me for the rudest and most friendly people you could
imagine. Every time I go to work I cant help but think that organizing an unorganized area and
dealing with different types of people with all different ethnic backgrounds will benefit my future as
in educator.
An important aspect of this project that should not be ignored in my process was my peer
feedback. My peers helped me decide what to put into the resume and what to take out. I had
multiple drafts before I felt comfortable with the finished product. Some strengths that I think my
project has is its visual appearance and its organization. My highlights and skills are easily found.
Something that I think could have been improved is the content. Making this resume made me
realize that I have to get more involved in educational things that would make me more appealing
to school districts before I graduate. Luckily, I still have a year and a half to make it better.
However; I do plan on using this resume to help me find jobs at daycares before I graduate which
will add to my experience and help me in the long run.
All in all I feel pretty prepared for my future. I believe that a lot of the skills and goals that I
have will help me be a good candidate for many future careers and employers. My aspirations and
view of education may be original but I think that that is one of its best-selling points. Being in this
major is always a little confusing as far as what is beneficial for me to learn and what will help me in
the future but without a doubt this project is something that I will carry with me through multiple
stages of my life. It has been very educational for me.

Sincerely,
Mia Romano
