Question: If you are unsure of your career plans, go to the Student Success Center and search to "Explore Careers". Then, from the search results, select some career fields to explore. For this assignment, you will need to choose a specific job in a specific career field.
Step 1: Find a job announcement.
Find a job announcement related to your career field. It should be a real job that you would legitimately consider or actually are applying for either now or in the future. For this job announcement:
You may use any job board to find a job announcement.
You may use an internal vacancy announcement with an organization at which you are currently employed.
You may use a job description for a military position to which you plan to be promoted in the future.
You may use a job description from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook. (Use the "What They Do" section of your chosen career as your "job announcement" for this assignment.)
Your cover letter and résumé must be tailored to match the qualifications of this job announcement and thus persuade the audience that you should be hired for this job!
Step 2: Submit your cover letter and résumé for reviews. (Due Week 5 in the Peer Review Forum)
Submit your cover letter and résumé for a peer review in the Week 5 peer review forum discussion. Follow the instructions there for the peer-review process.
Step 3: Submit your cover letter and résumé. (Due Week 6)
After receiving feedback from your peers (and optionally Hiration.com) and doing your own self-review based on the peer-review experience, REVISE your cover letter and résumé and submit for final evaluation.
You may submit the three parts as three separate files OR as a single file, using page breaks as needed. Remember, formatting is part of the assessment!
Use all principles of writing studied so far in the course (Six Cs of Communication, positive emphasis, "you" approach, message formatting and organization, etc.). Remember, the name of attached files should be descriptive and short, just as they would appear if attaching and sending to a potential employer.
