Reflection on Second week of CST101

Last week was fairly easy. I did learn how to form a MyCSUMB group, though. It was pretty simple, but interesting, and it may come in handy this semester for coordinating things for the group presentation project and other group assignments. I can't say I learned a whole lot regarding word processing and resume creating. I've used Monster.com before, and I've written plenty of resumes before. Granted, we can always use practice writing resumes. I admit that the one I wrote for this class wasn't the best I've ever written, even though it was probably the most impressive-sounding. I had chosen for my "coolest job" a lecturing position at a university teaching anatomy and physiology. I know that I would enjoy that job because it is sort of in a similar field that I'm pursuing: Sexuality studies. I've been using Microsoft word since I was in 6th grade, which is when I learned to type using the home-row and all the correct fingers on all the right keys. I took a class in 9th grade that taught me more in-depth how to use Word and Excel. I use Word more than Excel, so pretty much all of my spreadsheet experience is lost and forgotten. I knew about the resume templates in Word, though. Older versions of Word used to have a Resume wizard feature, that would generate your resume for you if you put in most of the information. That was nice, but I like the versatility of the new system, and there are a lot more resume templates to choose from. I think if I were to be making a real resume, I would expand it a little more. Even though it looks really good and tailored to the job, it kinda makes me look like a bland, one-dimensional person. But at least I recognize that. I was sort of sad that I didn't get any good comments from my peers on how to improve my resume, but I guess that's to be expected from a class that doesn't have a whole lot of resume experience.
