The player will show in this paragraph
Key a cover letter to accompany your résumé. (Use the example you labeled.)
You are applying for a job at the Montgomery Advertiser. The address is 425 Molton Street, Montgomery, AL 36104. Address the letter to Ms. Paula Jones, the Human Resource Manager.
Paragraph 1: You found out about the job from a friend. The job can be either a newspaper deliverer or a data entry clerk. (You choose.)
Paragraph 2: Explain how your qualifications fit.
Paragraph 3: Give your contact information.
Proofread, proofread, proofread!
After keying your letter, go to the 4.06 Discussion: Cover Letter Peer Edit. Post your rough draft of your cover letter for the class to view. Evaluate two of your classmates’ cover letters using the cover letter evaluation form. Choose someone who does not have any reviews first. Then, look at the comments on your own cover letter. Determine if any changes need to be made.
Remember, not everyone is in class at the same time, so it may take a day or two to get feedback. Keep checking back. Also, remember to be nice or neutral in your feedback. You are all here to help one another improve your cover letters.
Using feedback from classmates, revise your letter and submit to your instructor via the 4.06 My Cover Letter Dropbox. You will be assessed based on the 4.06 My Cover Letter Dropbox scoring rubric.
