Chapter 6 had many useful tips and methods to make a good portfolio. One thing that stuck out to me was the portfolio pyramid on page 125. It lists off the order of materials within the portfolio. First you'd include job specific skills, then employer specific skills, and lastly industry specific skills. This ensures that the things that are most relevant to the job are included first and foremost in your portfolio presentation.

Assignment 3 helped me visualize and identify my possible career paths and future career goals. Furthermore, the assignment made me aware of the qualifications, skills, and knowledge required to pursue my future career in aerospace Engineering. The Candid Career videos were able to shed some light on the difference between age groups in different careers. For example, in some of the videos, the interviewees were old and some were very young, yet they all seem just as professional and capable of doing their job. This told me that it doesn't matter your age, and professionally presenting yourself is dependent on yourself. This assignment also helped me further improve my budget assignment, by simulating how I would manage my expenses while being dependent on an Aerospace Engineer's salary. Overall, this assignment just makes me more excited and motivates me to still work towards becoming an Aerospace Engineer.
