Monday's assignment

Good afternoon everybody,

Your cover letter is your first representation of yourself in front of any employer, so let's make a good impression!

Task 1:

Find a job ad that you would consider applying to it, copy the ad, and paste it on your blog.

Task 2:

Now write a cover letter to respond to this ad. Keep in mind to include the following sections and ideas:

Each cover letter you write should be customized to include:

• Which job you're applying for
• How you learned about the job (and a referral if you have one)
• Why you are qualified for the job (be specific)
• What you have to offer the employer (match your skills to the job description)
• Thank you for being considered for the job
• Keep it Short

Go on this website and read exactly what you should include in your letter.

Task 3:

Ask one or two of your peers to edit it for you based on the actual job advertisement.
