Subject: Self Analysis

The whole writing process took me more time because I was deeply critical of my writing. I spent a lot of time researching on the best position I could find. Given that my qualifications are minimal, I was unable to land a better job position. It was hard to point out the little qualifications in a way that they would impress the prospective employer. However, after writing, I spent less time revising because I had carefully decided on what to write. I am certain that the final draft reflects on the effort of my writing process because I researched a lot on how to write and also ensured that I had no errors in my work.

I felt most confident on the cover letter because I believed that it gave me a chance to express myself to the potential employer without the limitations of my resume. I was able to point out my characteristic that would not be appropriate for the resume. Additionally, I was able to make the employer to focus on what I want in the resume hence having less focus on the minimal experience I have.

I felt least confident on the company’s information sheet. This is because the company did not give the name of the head of the department and his address hence making the sheet look incomplete. If I could start this assignment, I would try to pick a company with more details. I would like you to respond on how to make a resume with limitation of education and experience more attractive.
