Re: Ten things I learned this semester
Todays memo is addressing the ten topics that were most
important from this semester. The
following include topics from week one to the last week of
class
1. Resume: During the semester we learned how to write a
professional resume. This skill will be
important throughout my life.
2. Cover letter: An item just as important as the resume. The
cover letter states to the reader why
they should hire you.
3. Website: Using a website to sell yourself can be essential to
getting a job. A website about you
lets you tell the reader information about you that you would
not have time to say in the
interview.
4. Group personations: Throughout the semester we learned to
work with groups. This skill will
be important in business because people need to know how to work
together.
5. Leading a group: I can proudly say that I successfully lead a
group with success during this
semester. Leading the group taught me how structure work
assignments and how they would get
done.
6. LinkedIn: As a benefit from working with group one, we
studied LinkedIn. It was an
insightful project over the semester, by learning more about the
social media website.
7. Lean In: The pleasure to read this book was very enjoyable.
It taught me a lot of what to
expect when entering the business world.
8. Writing a memo: One thing that I know I have learned very
well is memos. Writing memos
including this one are a skill that cannot be passed up in
business.
9. Business letter: During the second half of the semester we
learned how to write a business
letter. This letter is important to know because it is only a
matter of time of when you have to
write one in the real world.
10. Business report: Being part of group one we did LinkedIn for
our business report. The
business report provided guidelines on how to right a formal
report for a company.
The ten topics listed today are the most important topics that I
learned about this semester. There
are many more topics that we learned in class, but these are the
most important to me.
