In the United States, it is very difficult to acquire an occupation with so many people struggling and striving to get a position that only one applicant can have. A course of action one may take to place himself above others in the eyes of the employers is to plan and submit an outstanding resume. A resume is a professional approach to provide employers with written evidence of one’s qualifications and skills. Resumes are required for professional, technical, administrative, clerical, sales, secretarial, managerial, and many other jobs (“Resume Writing” 1). It is essential to have an impressive resume for one to attain a decent job and earn a reasonable salary. There are three critical steps to take, in order to complete a successful resume such as gathering information, creating a cover letter, and creating a resume. The first step in this fulfilling task is gathering the information that will be applied in the cover letter and resume. The main components of information that must be compiled are as the following: past awards, recognitions, honors, job history, clubs, and college or high school transcripts. Another crucial component of information that needs to be acquired are the references. References can be anyone from past teachers to family friends to family doctors. References are important because they are the people that will tell what kind of person one is to the employer. One must gather all the information one wants to insert in his resume. Also one must begin a list of appropriate skills for whatever job he is applying for. Some desirable skills are basic computer skills, communication skills, and organizational skills. After compiling all of this information one is ready to submit the information into the cover letter and or resume. Next one must create a cover letter to showcase his top qualities in a single page (“Savvy Cover Letter” 1). The cover letter basically summarizes an applicant’s abilities (“Resume Writer” 1). To create the cover letter one must get a template to show the format of the cover letter, so one can implement his qualifications in it and customize it himself. One can also take a cookie-cutter approach to it and just take the easy way out (“Savvy Cover Letter” 1). One must keep in mind that he is trying to convince the employer to be interested in him enough to read his resume and eventually call him in for an interview.

The importance of higher education is so we can obtain a career that can support our needs and wants. It’s also important because it gives you an advantage when trying to get a job.

Steve Jobs discusses the idea of life and death in his brilliant 2005 Commencement Address at Stanford University, in which he presents these ideas in a clear, organized way by sharing three personal stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. The dots story concludes by saying that the dots in life will connect looking backwards, or in other words, everything happens for a reason, therefore trust in “your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.” Steve Jobs then tells us that we must

Have you ever stopped to think how much you would do for your family? You should think about what Immigrants do for their family. Immigrants cross the border everyday. Americans think that they just "walk over", "no big deal." You never hear the real story; you never hear how they are treated. Once they actually get across, they get to live like they deserve, lavishly, right? That's far from the truth.
