Critical Reflection

Sitting down and drafting a resume has never been an easy task for me. I have always looked at

the task as very daunting.

As I wrote my resume for the umpteenth time this month, it was encouraging to see how much

educational and training experiences I have achieved within the past year. If I had not set out to

write this resume as a requirement for my Human Resources Management course, I would not

have appreciated how far I have come with my education and experience. This exercise made me

retrospect into my career. Interestingly, the exercise brought out my vast experience while

working over a ten-year period that has taken me from being a teacher, a Journalist, and a

 MBA has eluded me for a long time due to financial issues, but I cannot thank my lucky stars

enough for stumbling on to the University of the People where I will be finally able to complete

my master’s degree.

Overall, there are no gaps that I feel necessitated to fill before the completion of my program.

This Portfolio Activity was very helpful to me because it helped me encounter resources for

resume writing and practice how to professionally put a resume together including a cover letter.
