I enjoyed the simulation overall because it gave me a better understanding of the recruitment process and how recruiters connect with potential candidates. The part I enjoyed the least was recording the video presentation about resume writing and interview preparation. I am not very comfortable speaking on camera, so that part was challenging for me, but I am glad I pushed myself to complete it.

I liked the video assignment. It truly forced me to put myself in the shoes of a real talent recruiter on campus. I liked the practice roleplaying aspect. In addition, I'm a visual learner, so seeing the example references after submitting my plans, was definitely very beneficial when it comes to me making improvements on mine.
