Résumé and Cover Letters
First, using the Internet, find two potential jobs that might interest you. One of the positions must contain a vague job description and the other must contain a very specific job description. Feel free to go to sites such as www.dice.com or www.monster.com. Copy and paste these two different job descriptions into a Microsoft Word Document.
The two potential jobs that might interest me are:
Networking
1. Network Administrator
2. Network Design
Network Security
1. Systems Administrator
Write a cover letter for each one of the potential jobs and write a résumé.
Next, write a cover letter for each one of the potential jobs. Make sure each is written in a way that best matches the type of job description in the advertisement. Finally, write your résumé.
Post the job descriptions, cover letters, and résumé in a Microsoft Word document.
Lastly answer the following questions:
- If this résumé were placed on your desk, would you likely invite the person for an interview?
- Do the cover letters adequately address the unique needs of each job description?
- Are all of the materials free from typographical and grammatical errors?
Note: This general cover letter and résumé will be part of my final portfolio.
