Writing A Resume Reflection

Creating a resume was very different than I thought it would be. To start my resume, I had to think of what job I was applying for. I never knew that a resume was specific to the job you're applying for, I always thought they were more universal, but they're not. In the cover letter I made it specific for the job I was applying for, which is the Pet's Pajamas Pet Store. I mentioned that I was good with animals and social interaction, because that's what I would be working with If I were to get the job. I also talked about my experience working with animals and people, my school and my grades, and the activities I partake in. My perception of resumes has changed since we first started learning about them. I thought making a resume would be hard and boring, and while it wasn't easy talking about myself, it wasn't boring, and I thought it is something that will become very useful when I need to actually apply for a job in the near future.
