Reflecting on the guest speaker's presentation, it's clear that crafting a resume and cover letter is an art that demands both precision and personal touch. There were many takeaways from Ms. Joanne Warren's presentation that I implemented into my own documents. For instance, how to organize the resume and specifically which headings to include. Such as a profile summary, education, clinical experience, work experience, skills, volunteer services, achievements, and certifications. I’m a visual learner, so I appreciated how she displayed different templates and examples of previous students’ cover letters and resumes. It gave me an idea of what I want to include and how to tailor it so it’s very RT-specific. For the cover letter, she went in depth about the format and what to include in each paragraph. I also didn’t know including a reference page is preferred/mandated by some interviewers, so I made sure to note that down. Lastly, I loved how she gave us advice in answering some very commonly asked interview questions, it was very beneficial.
