I have recently acquired skills that allowed me to create a variety of documents for many professional purposes including: persuasion, marketing, and research analysis and reports. These skills will not only help my organization and communication abilities as an educator, but they have prepared me for the professional world overall. I will use these skills when creating numerous professional documents such as: graduate school applications and letters, job applications, and cover letters. The course English 470 has placed me at a large advantage in the professional world by challenging me to create a diverse portfolio of professional documents.
