I like how they focused on documentation being objective. Documentation should be informative and less subjective. You should go based on facts and stay away from being biased.
Employment verification and collecting accurate data are crucial. These two, along with great communication amongst departments, can prevent errors in the long run. I liked the examples of Self-review, Peer review, and Final review.
Employment verification programs are important to collect the most accurate data the university or student is looking for. It is really important to gather the correct data and input accurate data to avoid any legal issues.
Employment reporting is not just important to the university but also to the students. Employment reporting will keep records of students after graduation, including salaries and important documents that will help the University.

I really like how they break down what a cover letter should include. I have been a recruiter before, and the statement of needing " 30 seconds to 2 minutes" to decide on a resume is true. A resume is a key factor for someone to get hired.
I like how students are provided with different resources to find the correct job. I think it is really important that students focus on finding the right job for them. Not every job is for everyone. Treasure Finding was a great way of explaining it. You should work in a field that you like so it does not feel like a job. You should not just focus on pay but on the actual job description.
