Job Search Assignment
Review the video, Making a Resume in 5 Minutes from module 7. What is one idea you
learned in this video you will apply to develop a resume?
From this video, I have learned that resume appearance matters in landing a new job. A well-
formatted resume, written in visible fonts such as Times New Roman, portrays how an individual
is organized and systematic (EGCC Career Services). I will use bolded or italicized headings and
sub-headings to quantify the completed projects related to the new job and my achievements to
look experienced. I will exclude pictures, charts, and artistic fonts to improve the resume's
overall appearance and readability for computers and employers.
Review the video, Ways to Improve your Internship and Job Search from module 7. What
is one idea you learned in this video you will apply the next time you consider searching for
a position?
After watching this video, I have learned the importance of using multiple job boards as part of
my job search. I will use the most common job boards in my job search, including LinkedIn,
Monster.com, and Indeed.com (EGCC Career Services). Multiple job boards can improve my
networking and tailor my job search to the specific geographical location of my interest, which
are excellent for optimal success in landing my first job.

Choose a video to watch from the Career Development Presentations and Recordings list.
What video did you watch? What is one idea you learned in this video you will apply to
your professional development? How?
I selected the video "Before the Interview" because I want to learn all the necessary steps of
landing my first job. From the video, I have learned that knowing my finances is a significant
step in my professional development (EGCC Career Services). I will use this knowledge to look
for jobs within a certain payment range, considering I do not have much experience, but I need
adequate money to support my daily needs. Therefore, before I can step up to showcase my skills
and the best of my abilities, I will create a budget that will help me understand my financial
needs and guide me in identifying the appropriate job for it and my skills, abilities, and
experiences.
Choose a 2nd video to watch from the Career Development Presentations and Recordings
list. What video did you watch? What is one idea you learned in this video you will apply to
your professional development? How?
I selected the video "During the Interview" because I do not want to let go of any opportunity
that comes my way. From the video, I have learned that the first impression dictates the
interview's direction and my overall outcome (EGCC Career Services). So, before I appear on
the panel, I will dress professionally and carry all necessary documents, including my resume
and portfolio. In the case of an online interview, I will forward my documents one or two days
before the interview. Also, I will conduct thorough research to ensure I am familiar with the
company, its culture, its dos and don'ts, and most importantly, its policies.
