The target audience for your job hunting should be the one you <\/p>\n<p>have chosen in the job search report.<\/p>\n<p>The resume and cover letter therefore must have a professional look: clean, clear, visually appealing, well-organized, and error-free. Your grade will be lowered three <\/p>\n<p>points for each mechanical, grammatical, or spelling error made in the two documents.<\/p>\n<p>Before you begin, identify your purpose, your audience, the job or internship you\u2019re looking for, and, most importantly, your own strengths or selling points relevant <\/p>\n<p>to the job. You\u2019ll need to highlight in the two documents your achievements and your skills, education, knowledge, work experience, personal qualities, or whatever you <\/p>\n<p>believe would distinguish you as a candidate from other competitors. <\/p>\n<p>For the cover (application) letter (120 pts.), you\u2019ll need to give your reason(s) for applying for the job, provide evidence to support your claim as a viable job <\/p>\n<p>candidate, and convince the audience that you have the personal qualities, motivation, and enthusiasm to perform well in the position. Be concise, limiting the letter <\/p>\n<p>to one page (normally, a cover letter should not exceed five paragraphs). The tips we\u2019ll be discussing (later in PPT slides) should help you brainstorm the letter, but <\/p>\n<p>make sure you also use them as criteria for writing a good cover letter. Do not start every paragraph with the word \u201cI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Write a self-analysis report (60 pts., in memo to the instructor), explaining the rationale and strategies behind the design\/creation of your resume and cover letter <\/p>\n<p>(minimum of 600 words). You\u2019ll need to provide specific information about the target audience and\/or the organization you\u2019re applying to. More importantly, you\u2019ll <\/p>\n<p>explain strategies used in persuading your target audience to hire you: for instance, your bilingual background, the visual layout of your resume, or a significant <\/p>\n<p>achievement mentioned in the letter. I want to know what particular appeals you have used in your resume and cover letterand how they make sense given the target <\/p>\n<p>audience. Be specific, and use evidence from your resume and letter to support your claims in the analysis.<\/p>\n<p>NO RESUME NEEDED JUST COVER LETTER AND ANALYSIS\u2026 AUDIENCE IS GEARED TOWARDS PUBLISHING COMPANIES<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Job Hunting Package For this assignment, you will 1) design an entry-level resume; 2) write a persuasive cover letter (i.e., application letter) to go with the resume; and 3) write a detailed self-analysis report on the rationale and strategies you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/job-hunting-package\/\" class=\"read-more\">Read More &#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32519\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.benedictsol.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
