September 26, 2006; HW#5; Writing Project Reflection

i am a happy camper!! The first project is done and e-mailed to Shelley. Good grief--I had such a horrid time of formatting that"thing"!
O.k. enough of my grousing--onto answering the pertinent questions:
The steps I toke to completing this project were 1) locate an appropriate job ad, whether that was on-line or paper form; 2) after finding one on-line [thank goodness], I copied/cut/pasted onto a blank Word document on my computer; 3) toke a big sigh of relief when I actually saw the ad on this document; 4) began creating the cover letter for this specific job; 5) dug out my old resume from 'long ago' , inputted all the info from that onto the job ad document; 6) I had looked over all that was on that resume--alot of it didn't apply anymore, so some items have been 'tossed'; 7) breathed another sigh of relief--that portion was done; 8) I, then, toke a break--to distance myself to get a fresh perspective; 9) I came back, proofread my resume, corrected my goofs; 10) I began the creation of the cover letter, but wait, in the e-ad that wasn't a physical address listed, so I found my trusty "Dex" phone directory and looked up the company I had the ad for, and used the office address of Mesa; 11) as required, I submitted this in our coure Web-site, 'mycomplab.com' for peer review; 12) I then made the necessary changes to my resume and cover letter as suggested by my p.r. group. And the very last step was to e-mail Shelley the"whole enchilada" as an attachment, today.
I feel the most proud of the fact that I manuevered through these technologies fairly well. I'm gettin' good at up-loading documents, not only for this specific course, but also for my "other" distance learning class.
The only concern I've got for this job application packet project is: would an employer really hire me based on these 2 communiques? I believe if I had abit more time {or not procrastinated!} I think I would have gotten more verbal advice about my skill set and abilities.
This is wwaayyy after the fact, but I neglected to investigate the Re-entry/Career Center on campus!
Regarding writing improvement skills--unfortunately, I've been very focused on completing the Project itself, I have neglected this as part of the course. I do plan to focus more time and energy {what I euphemistically call energy!} on the mechanics of Engish.
