Post-Writing

     There are many things that I learn about the writing process each time that I have an assignment. In the resume and cover letter assignment, I have learned more about writing in the professional world rather than the academic world. I learned a lot of things from the reading we were assigned in the textbook and from various articles. I also learned a lot from doing multiple drafts and being able to discuss each draft with another person.
     The textbook for class was my main source of reference while creating my resume and cover letter. When composing my first draft, I had no idea what to include, and the book helped by giving solid examples of other resumes and cover letters. The one thing that I found really helpful is how the book will not only explain what is necessary to include, but also what is supposed to be excluded.
     For the next writing assignment, I would like to discuss my drafts with more than just two other people. There is a lot of good that can come from getting feedback from others. Even getting opinions from people outside of this class would be beneficial. Another thing I would like to work on is drafting more. I only had three drafts, but even before I printed my last draft, I was making more corrections. If I continued to make more drafts, my finished product could be stronger.
