2.Reflection 

The entire journey from constructing a cover letter in response to the chosen job advertisement to draft a resume has provided me an ample of opportunity to learn a lot of things. The journey was indeed challenging due to various factors like the cover letter and resume must look attractive to the employer, so that, chances of getting a call for the interview is increased. This one purpose had required a lot of things to be done on my part. The first and foremost of work was to identify the correct set of contents for both cover letter and the resume as well. I had the idea that useful resources on trusted websites can be a good guiding tool for me for the task I had in front of me.

I was able to find the few very important sites which actually helped me to understand what could be the necessary contents. I figured out all those points and also collected all the information regarding my personal details that includes everything from personal details to job experience and project completed so far. I also got to know that it is important to integrate my information with the job advertisement, so that, it makes a good understanding of what I intend to convey. The job was itself very challenging as I had to work hard and read the entire advertisement thoroughly. Not only this, I had also studied my personal information and tried to identify the ways to integrate my personal details with each and every points mentioned in the job advertisement.

It took a huge time for me to get completed with just a cover letter. I was trying to understand the best possible contents of the cover letter. Slowly and gradually, I progressed to accomplish the construction of cover letter. Every single moment of cover letter construction had the moments of learning for me. I not only learned the way to present my feelings and beliefs to employers but also learned how to convince the employer. I was somehow able to construct a cover letter; however, I am not sure at all about that I was able to justify my work.

Resume making was more challenging than a cover letter. This is because I had to integrate a lot of and relevant thing in it to make it look attractive to the employer. I did this by understanding the job requirements. I had followed every single point mentioned in the job requirement section and to the possible extent; I gathered and included the relevant expertise of mine in the resume. The resume appears a bit large; however, it clearly expresses the relevant expertise in me which were mentioned as the area of requirements in the need section of the chosen job. The session was really exhausting; however, it helped me learn a lot of things which are important for a professional practice and communication
