Resume/Cover Letter Day 1

  • Theories of Relativity deals homelessness and touches upon unemployment.  One of the first steps to getting a job is to write a resume (detailing your qualifications) and a cover letter (explaining why you are a good fit and asking for an interview).  
  • Your mission is to create two resumes (one for use now and one for 10 to 15 years in the future) AND ONE cover letter (for use now).  Be sure to follow the proper format and steps as outlined in the handout.  Feel free to use the templates found in Microsoft Word.  You will receive a total mark /32 for the package.  A breakdown of how I will mark these assignments will come on Thursday.
  • When writing your cover letter, consider the following: Top Executive Recruiters Agree There Are Only Three True Job Interview Questions.  Remember who your audience is and how you want to sell yourself.
  • Package due Tuesday, April 24th with 4 classes (including today) to do your work.
  • Rest of the class, students receive time to work on their assignments, sharing the computer lab with Mr. Hotovy and others (depending upon lab availability).
  • Good luck!
