Module 3: Writing To Get the Job

Introduction

You now have found a job that you might want.  Your next step is the job application. One of the most important documents a person ever writes is a job application. This module will focus on creating an application package that includes a cover letter and a current resume of your education and employment history. It is especially important to emphasize that these documents must be letter-perfect, free of any errors in spelling and grammar and free of typos. Students must understand that an application for employment creates the first impression of a prospective employee. Errors on an application package suggest that the candidate's work ethic and skills may be less than those desirable by the employer. This module offers excellent opportunity to emphasize the importance of proofreading in submission of all application documents.
