1-For this discussion, I want you to locate a job ad in your field of interest. I would suggest using Indeed, Monster, Career Builder, or another platform to locate the ad. Once you find it, read through and analyze the ad for language and what they are *really* looking for based on your understanding from this week’s readings and videos. Your discussion board post must include a link to the ad, what you believe the company is saying underneath the surface of their language in the ad, and a justification for your conclusions that includes direct quotation and references to the ad itself. (200 words )
2-For this assignment I want you to go back and write down the five skills or traits that the perspective employer from your posted job ad was looking for and write them down at the top of the page. Then, I want you to choose 3 of those skills/traits. Once you have those, I want you to think of a story that shows you using those traits without telling us that is what you were doing. For example, if I want to show that I have exemplary customer service skills, I will write a short couple of sentences about a time I went above and beyond for a customer as opposed to merely saying that I “have good customer service skills.” This both makes you more memorable and adds a degree of authenticity to your “personal brand.”
3-asks: Your cover letter should engage the following:
You are to respond to the job listing you posted on the discussion board and create a cover letter for the position.
You should not create a “form” cover letter or resume. You need to understand how to compose the cover letter to meet specifics from the job ad.
A Good cover letter “shows” as opposed to “tells,” so focus on incorporating 1-2 of the short narratives you created in the short assignment this week.
Format: Cover letters have a specific format. You can review this week’s video and the material in chapter 10 of the textbook for ideas of how to format the letter and its contents. You should NOT use a template from Word or available online. These are often thrown into the trash without being read by hiring managers. However, you should remember the format you use for the cover letter, as your resume should match in style and font choices.
Length: The cover letter should be one page in length. This is always advisable, but as you gain more time and experience in your field, the letter may surpass this length. For this assignment, stick to one page.
Remember: Much like you matched a brand for the company when you wrote the negative response letter, your cover letter creates a personal brand that is an introduction to who you are for employers. Consider how your tone, word choice, mechanics, and other rhetorical moves present you.
