I need an explanation for this English question to help me study.
Project 2 Cover Letter for Job Application (20%)
NOTE:
You will use the same job for the Cover Letter that you used for the
Resume. Be sure you have saved/downloaded/copied the entire job ad and URL. If
the advertisement is in print form then scan it and save the original as a PDF
doc. You will
need to turn in the job ad with Project 3 (as well as this one), not just the
URL. There is a good
chance that the URL will disappear before you finish your projects and you
want to make
sure you have the entire ad.
You will find a job ad or internship that you are currently qualified for and apply
to it (you don’t actually have to apply to it, but this project and the next project
will be based on the job ad or internship ad you select so you must be qualified for
it). You will need to include your ad with your project when you turn it in.
Because you will be doing the cover letter and resume for the same position, you
should design a heading (letterhead) for the cover letter that you also use for the
resume.
You will write persuasively to the person/organization to secure an interview. Be
sure to indicate that you are enclosing a resume (you may also link any appropriate
social media (LinkedIn) or portfolios). The cover letter will be formatted as either
4
a block left or modified block (see Format and Language doc) MSWord doc, no longer
than one page, Garamond, 11 point.
NOTE:
You will turn in the document electronically, so save the file as
yourfirstinitiallastnameProj2.pdf (you do not have to write “.pdfâ€; the program
will save it for you. I did so to indicate that I want it save as a pdf file. So, if
I were to write this project then I would save it as EPassProj2.pdf. Saving it as a
pdf ensures that the formatting stays as you intend it.
