 What is now your edge?

Despite the fact that business related courses are reported to be an
oversubscribed course and does not belong to the top 5 in-demand courses, I am
still optimistic about getting a good job after graduation. With my two degrees, BS
Psychology and BSBA, I know I have an edge over other applicants who finished an
undergraduate program. Also, equipped with the knowledge and skills that I got
from the quality of education that our school offers, I believe that it is also one of
the strongest quality that I could present to my future employer. This can be seen in
all my credentials such as the transcript of records and certificates in past attended
trainings, seminars and on and off campus activities. This proves that not only I am
capable of achieving academic excellence but also shows the willingness to learn
and to interact with others. Through this, they will see how dedicated I am in
whatever things I do.
