Week13-My Reflection Regarding Preparation for Find a Job

We always obtain lots of knowledge from systematic education, we also enjoy the happy gaining knowledge when we are at school. Moreover, it seems that all these are to prepare for a future career.

Through reading section VII of Trends and issues in instructional design and technology. If I want to find a job, I need to search for a position, prepare a resume, cover letter, dressing, interview, and so on. There are many works that need to be prepared. However, the core contents are the knowledge and skills I have. Thus, I also realized that it will be helpful for me to find a job in the future if I could accumulate work experience, publish a paper, gain good grades, show my work and keep communicating with the professor in the school. As a first-year M.S. student of the IST program, I think that it is really helpful for me to know how to prepare to find a job. All of these make me more enthusiastic about my current study, and also let me know clearly what I should do during school.
