I would like to write about my best friend, Hyun-Jung Ku. we went same mid school and high school. we used to live same town, very close each others house. I were hanging out a lot after school. we shared everything. First of all, her mom was always cooking delicious food for me when I was their house. we went every where together. one time we went to china, one night, we were at the hotel room, while we were chatting, suddenly a big cockroach shown up. we were screaming and running out the room. and then we realized that the door was locked and we did not have a key. thus we had to come down to check-in front and explained the situation we got. finally we get in but we could not find the cockroach and we were almost stayed all night. now I am thinking that was most funniest happened when we were in China.
She came a wonderful career woman. she is working at a top of cosmetic company in Korea. I am really proud of her, just sad that I could be hanging out with her as often as before.

The Cover Letter
The advice given the website was very helpful. I did not know why the cover letter is that important. I thought that the cover letter is mention more about you beside the resume. I did not aware that the cover letter needed to be a personal letter written to a specific person in the company as well. but according to the website, it should be about the company, my prospect, target. The resume will tell them everything they need to know about me. I agreed most of their advice, especially, from the Reality of cover letter link was make sense to me.
The most useful the section of this tutorial was the last cover letter checklist. It helped me have out line of my own cover letter to the company I turned in class. also it helped how organized the given advice to apply to my cover letter. I can use those advice when writing my cover letter for my mock interview in class.

Career tools, Interviewing.
I chose two articles, "Phone interviews: tips to get called back", "The second interview".
Both articles are very helpful to me.
I chose Phone interview tips as the first article. Because as a person who spoke English as an second language, talks on the phone is hard to get through than anyone else. even at interview in person, there are still have language barrier and culture difference but with phone without body language would be hardest one to do it. that is why it was very helpful. the given tips are find a happy place, speak easy, sounds of silence, and practice makes perfect. it is very important that find happy place because talk on the phone interview, already gives me a pressure. thus find a good place makes myself a little bit of clamming down. An other helpful tip was "Speak easy". I learned if I would like to be confidence, then stand up and my voice sound more powerful. with I got through this page of phone interview tips, I feel like I am ready to have phone interview!
As second article, I selected "The Second Interview". As we know when you get a second interview, it does not neccesary mean to you get that job. Every country has their own way to interview, even in a country, there are different way to hire people in each company. About the second interview means same like that. General tips of interview, which are neat outfit, do not late, bring a copy of your resume, etc. but about the second interview? I have not heard that! It was really great tips for me. the second interview is not only represent yourself as marketable person as well as how much you could fits with the company. the article shows very specifically the situations you could get on the second interview. It was good to learn those tips then I could apply any business meeting as well.

persuasive communication
Any environments we could meet any type of persuasive communication. Persuasive communication makes to change another person’s beliefs, attitudes, and, ultimately, behaviors.
In class, we got two different examples of persuasion. Martin Luther King Jr's Letter from a Birmingham Jail and the guest speakers that came and spoke to the class about persuasion. These two examples gave to me critic thoughts of how persuasion works. I think Martin Luther King Jr.'s letter is the better example of persuasion. On the other side, The guest speakers, they did not do the best job at any sort of persuasion. Because Martin Luther King Jr. used all three parts of persuasion, ethos, logos and pathos, in his letter very good about using those skills. Not only did he use logic, emotion, individually, he used together at one sentence. On the other hand, one of the guest speakers was a woman from the ROTC recruiting office, did not excellent job on presenting it was kind boring and the way they present the subject is fits me that well. which mean, the topic is kind of the sense thus if I were them, I would rather give a good example by each then made the class a little bit alive.
here is an other example of the persuasive communication.

This article was catching my attention, because since I got in the U.S, I have had more chance to have a instance food more than when I was in Korea. Thus this article was interesting. I think the fact is ethos which means by the title appeals to a person like me who wants to keep themselves from junk food. In this article, Logos is the definition of junk food and examples. the first paragraph gives ethos say to American. I think overall there is pathos. there is questions which ask audience then make them want to follow its suggestions. something like this sentence, " Do not tempt yourself by keeping them around."
Well, after I read over this one I avoid junk foods then make myself being healthy!
