Assignment

After researching different styles for resumes and cover letters, go to a job-networking site like Monster.com or CareerTrak.com. Find a job that both appeals to you and matches your major or your career interests and keep the text description (copy it and paste it onto paper). For the job you have selected, write a tailored resume and cover letter based on the principles we've learned in class and print both, plus the text description of the job, and bring to class.

On Thursday, Jan 24, we'll peer review your resume and cover letter in class. You can then make corrections/revisions and submit both documents, plus the job description, as final on Tuesday, January 29.
